About Kharian
Kharian is a city in the north-central part of Punjab, Pakistan. It is regarded as the 'wealthiest' subdistrict in Pakistan, housing one of the largest cantonments in South Asia, and also being known for its significant overseas population. With a residential population of over 103,036 (as of 2023), Kharian is located at the foothills of the Sub-Himalayan Range and serves as the headquarters of its eponymous subdistrict within the Gujrat district. It is often called the Little Scandinavia of Pakistan because a majority of Pakistani Norwegians and Danish Pakistanis are originally from Kharian.
