Özet:

Travelogues are not only travel writings, but they are also significant sources for many disciplines. While writing their observations about the places they visit, the travelers also give political, social, and cultural information about the society. For that reason, these works offer an excellent opportunity to the readers to know the community rather than reading a memoir. Since Prophet Adam, it has always been a temptation for human beings to see new places around the world. The travelers of the Indian subcontinent, where Urdu language is spoken, made many trips to Turkey, especially during the XX and XXI centuries, and immortalized their trips by writing their experiences. The main objective of our work was to introduce the impressions and attitudes of these travelers on Turkey to Turkish readers. Azhar Ali has written an article about this subject in Urdu language. However, since it was written in Urdu Language, Turkish readers could not benefit from this article. To fill this gap, in our study, more travelogues were reached and it was aimed to give detailed information about these travelogues to the Turkish reader, who is the main target of this article. While giving information about the contents of these travelogues written about Turkey in Urdu language, the paper attempted to analyze the style of the author, technical aspects, and weaknesses of the work at times.
