"Visited so many places of historical and tourist interest. But the visit which has a lasting impression on my mind is the visit of Kashmir. It is the most beautiful place I have ever seen. It is said to be the heaven on earth. It has the accolade of being “The Switzerland of Pakistan AJK/Occupied Kashmir”. I was wonderstruck to see the ravishing beauty of Kashmir. With snow-clad mountains, tall-trees of deodar/ Chinar, lush green plains and valleys, Kashmir is one of the most bewitching places on earth. It has been a great attraction for the tourists all across the country and abroad as well.

"The Northern Areas like Kashmir Gilgit Baltistan and FATA where the Villages Located in far flung Areas lacking the basic amenities of life like roads health,educations,electricity,being distant from grids still depend on day light to Start and Stop their Life Activities. The Present Power Crisis in Pakistan has Further Dimmed the Chances to avail common human life requirements in Remote Area''

''The only solution to overcome power crisis/facilities in the remote areas is to exploit the available resources like natural waterfalls by installing small hydel projects and by the insertion of solarpower technology''

The sunshine picturesqueness view below depicting paradise is self explanatory, but due to lack of above mentioned facilities the tourism industry cannot flourish unless above sources are fully exploited .

The Kashmir called the paradise on earth has a unique historical background as it was one of 650 states run by princes before partition. The partition of the Indian sub-continent by the formation of India and Pakistan the princes were given liberty to join either of two countries with the consensusof public opinion.Maraja Hari singh wanted like other princes to run state independently but could not succeeded as the publicmass being Muslim opt for Pakistan.Maharaja appealed to indian Govt for military assisstance to control state by force but his hopes of renamingindependence were diminished as in oct 1947,Pakistan sent tribes who knocked at the premisis of Srinager.

Indian and Pakistani forces thus fought their first war over Kashmir in 1947-48. India referred the dispute to the United Nations on ist January. In a resolution dated August 13, 1948, the UN asked Pakistan to remove its troops, after which India was also to withdraw the bulk of its forces.

Deosai 
The Deosai National Park is located in the Skardu, Northern Areas of Pakistan that is known as the Federally Administered Northern Areas (FANA). The park is located on the Deosai Plains, that are among the highest plateaus in the world with an average height of 4,114 metres above the sea level, covering an area of about 3,000 square kilometers. For just over half the year - between November and May - Deosai is snow-bound. In the summer months when the snow clears up, Deosai is accessible from Skardu in the north and the Astore Valley in the west. Deosai is well known for its spring season when it is covered by a carpet of millions of flowers and a wide variety of butterflies.

Deosai plains can be accessed through Astore Valley,which is comparatively easy route.Gilgit to Astore onwards is a wide jeepable track which winds through Gudai and Chilum .The alternate and relatively narrow track is from Skardu .
