Naltar Lake Gilgit Baltistan | Best Place Ever

Naltar Lake Gilgit Baltistan | Best Place Ever in Pakistan

I have no other choice as it’s an official visit, why are you going there?” Someone asked me at Naltar Ada, Gilgit while waiting for the Jeep. I tried to convince him that I have heard a lot about Naltar Valley and I believe it would be a life time experience, the guy laughed “Yes, it would be a life time.

This is the first of two lakes. Food and facilities are available at both. We took jeeps from Rahimabad at Rs7000 each. It is about a 2.5 hour journey each way from there (little less on the way back). The way is also beautiful. Jeeps are available form Nomal too but did not check prices there (should be cheaper as closer).

Naltar Valley is situated in the north-west of Gilgit-Baltistan the 5th province of Pakistan (The Doorway of the World) and (The Township of the mountains). It is 40 km (25 mi) from Gilgit city across the nomal valley and its evolution is about 4,678 m (15,348 ft.).Naltar valley is well known for its beauty and it’s hi lakes. It is the most visiting area for the travelers across silk road, KKH( Karakorum highway) and now CEPC(China Pakistan economic corridor). People said it is the true paradise. That’s why every year more than fifty thousand visitors came to see its beauty and enjoy their summer holidays season.

Several trees grow along the trail with large shrubs running along each side of the route from Chillam to Astore. The course is just like any other mountainous route — uneven and bumpy. Passing through small towns and villages on the flank of the mountain, one can see a stream of ice-cold water gushing out from Deosai.

Hunza Valley, Gilgit Baltistan

Hunza Valley, Gilgit Baltistan

Every traveller must fall in love with the area at first sight. There is nothing better than to get to Karimabad (2420 m asl), the heart of the Hunza valley, after a difficult and long trek, sit on the terrace of one of the small hotels, pluck ripe apricots directly from the tree and enjoy the breathtaking sunsets at the local mountain queen – Rakaposhi (7788 m asl).

The magnificent Attabaad Lake, which is also known as Gojal Lake is situated in Gojal Valley of Gilgit Baltistan. There is a sad fact that a lot of Pakistanis don’t know about the lake, It was formed in January 2010 after a massive land sliding into the Hunza River.

Hunza river broke here through the ridge of the mighty Karakoram, which is more than five kilometers higher, so there are plenty of dramatic views in all directions.

Borith lake is situated just 2-3 KM away from KKH, The road towards lake is a mud track but could be reached with cars easily. The color of lake is very dark and may be not as beautiful with respect to other lakes of Gilgit Baltistan but its water is crystal clear. The place is very silent and peaceful and sight is also very scenic.

Satpara Lake Sakardu, Pakistan

Satpara Lake Sakardu, Pakistan

Satpara Lake (also called “Sadpara Lake”) is natural lake situated about 9 kilometers (5.59 miles) north of Skardu (the capital of Baltistan), in Gilgit-Baltistan region of Pakistan. Situated at an altitude of 2,635 meters (8645 feet) the lake is reached after 20 minutes of jeep drive from Skardu.

A dam named as Skardu Dam is being built on this lake to generate more electricity. The dam is 128 ft high and will generate about 17.36 MV of electricity. The lake is a big source of fresh water and is 8650 ft long. The crystal clear water of Satpara Lake gives delight to one’s eyes. The water of this lake shines in the daytime and that is why people believe that gold is buried in the bottom. Satpara Lake serves as a centre of various activities such as row borating, and trout fishing.

The lake is open the whole year but this does not mean that the optimal time to travel to the lake is anywhere in the summer or the winter months. Rather the best time to travel to the lake is in the spring when the lush vegetation near the lake has taken full form and the flowers have started to bloom. With the vegetation growing and the flowers blooming, the vast lake which measures more than 2.5 Km becomes a marvel of nature. And as the dam has added more space to the lake, this time is the best time to see various animals that have now made their homes near the lake in order to reap the benefits that it brings.

After visiting some of Pakistans smaller Lakes I found this Lake still beautiful but not as captivating as the others. I don't know if it was due to the weather or just the size of the Lake. It didn't matter as we were going past it anyway and we enjoyed stopping to take a few photos. Like usual I find the colour of the water contrasts beautifully with the harsher landscape.

Lake District National Park

Lake District, famous scenic region and national park in the administrative county of Cumbria, England. With 12 of the country's largest lakes and more than 2,000 miles of rights of way waiting to be explored, there's little wonder the region continues to inspire, with its magnificent views and scenery straight out of a painting. Other things to do include visiting the park's many fells, including Scafell Pike (3,210 feet), the highest mountain in England; lovely little towns and villages such as Grasmere; as well as boat excursions across Lake Windermere and Ullswater.

The Lake District became a national park in 1951, and the increased social mobility of the population of the industrial regions of northern England has stimulated the tourist industry. The increased demand for water by industrial northwestern England has resulted in the use of Thirlmere Lake as a reservoir, precluding its use for recreation.

It is the largest National Park in the country (occupying 885 sq. miles) and is considered one of its most scenic regions and England's premier destination for hiking and climbing.

Moola Chotook in Khuzdar, Balochistan

Best Tourist Place in Pakistan at Moola Chotook in Khuzdar, Balochistan

Curiosity can be a powerful driving force; the need to constantly seek and discover. The one thing that travel does is keep your senses sharpened — you are constantly exposed to new stimuli. With every step, you are seeing, breathing and experiencing something new. And with every journey, you grow. No wonder then that some find travel to be highly addictive.

More than 100 km away from Khuzdar there is a beautiful village called Moola, It is a Tehsil of District Khuzdar. It is famous due to historical place as well as its geographical location; it is the gate way between central Baluchistan and West Baluchistan, Sindh and Iran. People opt this way (Moola Pass) because it is the shortest distance between central Baluchistan and Sindh.

The Moola Gorge, for centuries a favored route between the Kalat highlands and the fertile plains of Sindh, is a wide u-shaped, well-watered gorge. It cuts clear across the unbroken barrier of the rugged and barren Khirthar Mountains providing a travel route that could be used by ancient wheeled traffic. This paradise on Earth is in the Khuzdar District of Balochistan. Locally it is known by the name of “MOOLA CHOTOK”.

Distance To Khuzdar From Karachi is:

205 miles / 329.92 km / 178.14 nautical miles

Faraglioni Sea Stacks on Capri Island, Italy

Faraglioni Sea Stacks off Capri Island, Italy

In Italian, faraglioni are stacks, a coastal and oceanic rock formation eroded by waves. The word may be derived from the Greek pharos or Latin pharus ("lighthouse"). They are found at the coasts of several regions of Italy and the most famous are in the Campania region, in the Bay of Naples, off the island of Capri. They are named Stella, connected to the island, (109 m), Mezzo (82 m) and Scopolo (or Fuori 106 m).

The Faraglioni are noted world-wide because of the peculiar shape and enchanting sight of them rising out of the water along the coastline. They're best seen by boat or from the beaches of Marina Piccola. These gorgeous rocks are also famous for a rare species of lizard: the "lacerta muralis coerulea" -or simply "blue lizard"- characterized by a special blue coloration that is found only on the island of Capri.

The famous three towering rock sea stacks, can only be seen from the sea at the southern part of the island. These rocks are home to the rare Blue Lizard, however he must also be elusive since nary a one was visible. When your boat passes through the famous stone archway in the middle you must kiss your partner for good luck!

A result of forceful winds and raging seas, these three Faraglioni rocks inspire countless photographers who attempt to capture their beauty. Translated, Faraglioni means “ones of the light,” and reflections of light from the azure sea create a constantly changing vision just off the Amalfi Coast and Sorrentine peninsula.

June is hot, as always, and remains hot unless it rains here in Punjab. The suffocation indoors, the constant buzzing of fans, the tiny sparrows searching for water in the scorching heat, the coo-coo of quails; all the sights and sounds sadden me, and when the heat here makes it difficult to breathe, I suddenly miss the cool shades of Ghizer’s meadows.

Ghizer District is the westernmost part of the Gilgit-Baltistan region of Pakistan. Its capital is Gahkuch. Ghizer is a crossroads between Gilgit and Chitral, and also to China and Tajikistan via the Karambar Pass through Ishkomen/Darkut Yasin (which are connected via Shandur Pass).

Tower Bridge London | Top Tourist Attraction Place

Tower Bridge London | Top Tourist Attraction Place

One of the finest and most recognized bridges in the world, Tower Bridge is an iconic symbol of London.

As Tower Bridge is a working bridge you can visit and enjoy its historic architecture but also experience the less seldom seen opening or as it is actually known the lifting of the bridge. This lifting really is a special opportunity to experience the wonder of seeing the fully working Tower Bridge of London in all its glory.

Plans for the Tower Bridge were devised around 1876 when the east of London became extremely crowded and a bridge across the Thames in that area of the city seemed a necessity. It would take another eight years - and lots of discussions about the design - before construction of the bridge started. 

Its original color was chocolate brown, but in 1977 it was painted in red, blue and silver for the Queen´s Silver Jubilee. The bridge is situated next to the also famous London Bridge.

The bridge, designed by city architect Horace Jones in collaboration with John Wolfe Barry, would eventually be completed in 1894. Five contractors and nearly 450 workers were involved in the construction of the 265 meter long bridge. It took 11,000 tons of steel to build the framework. At the time many people disliked its Victorian Gothic design, but over time the bridge became one of London's most famous symbols.

This trail is less stressful than trail 3. For the first 2 km hike is okay and even kids can do it. After that it becomes steep and only serious hikers and those fit enough should attempt it.

It saddened my heart to see that people have started spoiling this track too by leaving shoppers, wrappers etc

Though it's one of the favorite trails of many islooiets but it needs serious maintenance there are patches which have been tore out. There is only one spot on the track where one can feed benches to sit and relax which should be increased.

It is an immortalized part of Orlando, as well as an eternal landmark for families all around the world.

With 2011 came signs of a slight upswing in the economy, tourism exhibiting the most visible signs of life. Hotels began filling rooms at a rate not seen in several years (with significant increases over the last year alone). Airport traffic and attraction attendance was on the rise, with tourists (and the theme parks) beginning to once again spend money. Disney began construction at levels almost unheard of in recent years. A major expansion began at the Magic Kingdom -- with the size of Fantasy land to be doubled by the end of this year -- and detailed plans were revealed for a re-imagined Pleasure Island, the abandoned clubs (standing empty since 2008) demolished to make way for what will soon become Hyperion Wharf. Also revealed were details regarding Disney's secretive billion-dollar investment in next-gen technology and experiences -- though sketchy (and slated to roll out over the next several years), plans include bypassing hotel check-in, reserving ride times right from your computer, and a slew of personalized interactive experiences yet to be revealed. In addition, Disney kicked off Let the Memories Begin, the resorts' latest year-long celebration that has park-goers taking center stage, their images projected on Cinderella Castle each night for all to see. Also in 2011, Discovery Cove opened the Grand Reef, expanding its lineup of underwater attractions -- including a walking tour that takes guests (donning diving helmets) along a series of underwater pathways. Even Gatorland got in on the expansion action, debuting a wild zipline experience that takes adventurous guests zipping across the park's preservelike grounds, high above the crocs and gators that lurk in the marshes below.

Buckingham Palace | Residence of Queen Elizabeth

Buckingham Palace | Residence of Queen Elizabeth 

Buckingham Palace is the London home and the administrative center of the British royal family. The enormous building and extensive gardens are an important site of ceremonial and political affairs in the United Kingdom, as well as a major tourist attraction. But for a monarchy that dates back almost a thousand years, Buckingham Palace is a relatively new home.

The palace first originated as Buckingham House, which was built by John Sheffield, 3rd Earl of Mulgrave and Marquess of Normandy, as his London residence in 1703. In the same year, Sheffield was made the Duke of Buckingham and he consequently named the house after his title.

In 1761, Buckingham House was acquired by George III, to be used as a family home for both himself and his new wife Charlotte. The ceremonial centre of the court remained at St James’s Palace, so the house was a convenient place to live. It was known as the Queen’s House, and 14 of George and Charlotte’s 15 children were born there. It was in the library of the Queen’s House that Dr Samuel Johnson had his celebrated meeting with George III. In 1762, George IV and his architect John Nash began converting the palace into a full-scale residential and ceremonial palace, using the proceeds of the land acquired from the demolition of Carlton House. A suite of rooms was added to the main block of the garden side of the house, and the side wings were demolished and replaced with grander structures to form a u-shape. The fourth side of the courtyard was enclosed by railings, with the newly-created Marble Arch monument in the centre.

Shoshone Falls is among the most spectacular of natural beauties along the Snake River. At 212 feet, the falls are higher than Niagara Falls. They are best viewed during the spring and early summer when water flows are high – depending on winter snow melt. Irrigation diversion of Snake River flows can significantly diminish water over the falls in the summer and fall, particularly during dry years.

Statue of Liberty | New York Monument in USA

Statue of Liberty is more than a monument

The Statue of Liberty is more than a monument. She is a beloved friend, a living symbol of freedom to millions around the world. These exhibits are a tribute to the people who created her, to those who built and paid for her, to the ideals she represents, and to the hopes she inspires.

Made in Paris by the French sculptor Bartholdi, in collaboration with Gustave Eiffel (who was responsible for the steel framework), this towering monument to liberty was a gift from France on the centenary of American independence. Inaugurated in 1886, the sculpture stands at the entrance to New York Harbour and has welcomed millions of immigrants to the United States ever since.

The Statue of Liberty is perhaps New York City's most familiar landmark and the easiest one to overlook since it's only accessible by boat. This historic monument has welcomed many generations of hopeful Americans to our shores.

The Statue of Liberty exhibit, which opened in July 1986 and is located on the second floor in the pedestal of the Statue, traces the history and symbolism of the Statue of Liberty through museum objects, photographs, prints, videos and oral histories. In addition to historical artifacts and descriptive text, full scale replicas of the Statue's face and foot are also on display.   

Tokyo Disneyland | World's Most Tourism Places

Tokyo Disneyland | A theme park

Tokyo Disneyland is a theme park based on the films produced by Walt Disney. It was opened in 1983 as the first Disney theme park outside of the United States. Modeled after Disneyland in California and the Magic Kingdom in Florida, Tokyo Disneyland is made up of seven themed lands and features seasonal decorations and parades.

Disneyland is known for its awe-inspiring attractions and grand spectacles that enchant both the young and old. With a milestone being celebrated this year at its Tokyo resort, tourists can expect a whole new level of Disney magic in the coming months.

First opened in April 1983, Tokyo Disneyland is marking its 35th anniversary with "Happiest Celebration," a multitude of festivities that will run until March 2019. (So for Filipinos yet to plan a trip to Japan, there's still a full year to schedule a Disneyland -stop- in time for the celebration).
