I have visited many places in my lifetime - small and big. I have had the pleasure of meeting people from around the world who were friendly and hospitable. And in the past 10 years or so, I have equally met with distrust and misgiving in the eyes of many new acquaintances (which of course has changed over the time :)
Now the question is why Pakistan is more famous for "terrorism" than any other feature?It is just an 'image'created by many factors.
Through a series of blogs I will try to dispel this negative image by introducing you to the best my world has to offer.
The Reason#1
The mesmerising mountainous ranges of Pakistan are a treat to explore.
Just imagine a place where three mighty mountain ranges meet!!!
Well there is one place in Pakistan where Himalaya, Karakorum and Hindukush meet. It is THALECHI near Juglot. And its massive. It's humongous. It's spiritual. It is a spot which will leave you speechless.
Of course, the journey from the capital to this point might take hours. Along the way you will witness many other fantastic spots but I will tell you about them at some other time.
For now, all the adventure lovers out there! Close your eyes and imagine a single spot where your spirit can soar and mingle with the spirituality of the mighty mountains. the sound of raging Indus River and the heights are going to leave you mesmerised.
Following is the caption written at that point:
THE JUNCTION POINT OF THREE GREATEST MOUNTAIN RANGES OF THE WORLD It narrates, "FROM HERE YOU ARE SEEKING THREE MIGHTIEST MOUNTAIN RANGES OF THE WORLD. GREAT HIMALAYAS END IN THE SOUTH AND EAST OF INDUS RIVER. KARAKORUMS ARE ENDING IN THE NORTHEAST OF GILGIT RIVER. KARAKORUMS ARE ENDING IN THE NORTH EAST OF GILGIT RIVER. WEST OF GILGIT / INDUS RIVER IS THE HINDU KUSH RANGE".
