A
Pakistan should be everyone’s tourist destination for 2018, but what if you already live there? Then perhaps you should consider visiting these five must-visit places for this year.
Lake Saiful Muluk
At an altitude of 3, 224m, surrounded by snowy mountains, the lake rewards those that make the three-hour uphill walk from Naran. You will find the pathway just above the free market, but the best choice is to get a jeep and share the costs with some other tourists; expect to pay about 700 rupees, worth it to view this natural beauty.
Deosai National Park
As another high point in Pakistan, it has an average altitude of 4,114m－the Deosai Plains are one of the highest plateaus (高原) in the world. If you make it to the park, you expect to find rich plants and wild animals. The breathtaking scenery on show at the plains is enough to make 2018 a memorable year.
Naltar Valley
Accessible via a 2.5-hour drive from Gilgit, well worth visiting. Covered with pine trees and other plants, it has a dreamlike feel about it. Various colors all year around make you fall in love.
Shangrila Resort
Right in the north of Pakistan in the central valley of Gilgit-Baltistan. Locals call this a paradise (乐园), and that’s what it feels like. No visit is complete without checking out the restaurant which is built in the structure of an aircraft.
Rama Meadow (牧场)
Doesn’t feel like Pakistan at all, more like somewhere in Minnesota. Watch the sheep and cows feeding while clear water flows in streams from high in the mountains. Against Chongra’s ice-covered peak, this little meadow is a piece of art.
