A journey from Gilgit to Chitral via Punyal along the Ghizar River though Phundar and Shandur had got breathtaking scenes with lakes made by the landslides. This can attract thousands of tourists if we can develop the road and provide motels with basic facilities. There is plenty of trout fish to add to the charm. People are also very humble and helpful with simple life style.

Kerala which is also called Gods own country has the western Ghats and the most beautiful beaches and back waters. Beaches of Goa are world famous and visited by western tourists every year ...atleast 700 to 800 charted flights every year. We have snow covered mountains in the Hinaltan range 2000 km. Sahra desert in Rajastan , 8000 km of sea coast and many hill stations like your Mari all over India.

It indeed is very sad that visiting Iskardu itself is a struggle for so many with so less flights and even worse is the shangrila resort that's been shown in the picture. The management refuses to refund and bears no sympathy to tourists or abroad based Pakistanis who wish to revisit their own country. Wish Pakistan Tourism gets revived quickly.

As the biggest tour operator in Congo DRC, I am proud of my Pakistan. How desperate we are to see our country return to peace so that tourists could flock, the way they used to before the emergence of Takfirism, Talibanism.

If we control this terrorism and security situation becomes as norm then the Pakistan would be a great tourist attraction, InshahAllah.

Pakistan has the ability to be the World's no 1 Tourist Place to Visit. The first picture is proof of that. We must develop PCL (Pakistani Coast Line) which is 1000 miles - it is mostly underdeveloped. We must make 100's of cities on PCL. We must develop all of Pakistan from Gwadar to Pakistan-China Border to Lower Sindh. Develop Pakistan 100x time more than india develops itself. PAKISTAN ZINDABAD
