A land where the three extravagant mountain ranges- Himalayas, 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 favorite 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 labor 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.
