A land where the three extravagant mountains of the
Himalaya, Karakoram and Hindu-Kush greet each other, the home to rare
flora and fauna, beautiful valleys and the dazzling lakes, is
Gilgit-Baltistan; yet another eye-catching region of Pakistan and a
popular tourist destination. The amiable denizens, celestial landscapes
and enthralling cascades make this province a favourite destination for
tourists from all across the world. Moreover, the simplicity and harmony
of the province is a treat for the mind and soul. The region is known to
be surrounded by the highest and greatest number of mountains around the
world. Although the area is dry and rugged, as the clouds are blocked by
the huge mountains but the labour of the strong and willing local
population has even claimed the hard mountains for cultivation resulting
in beautiful green orchids of many fruits in the valley. This makes a
spectacular contrast in the green fields and ruggedness on the mountains
topped with white snow.
