| French Beach..A very relaxing & exciting place... | | |
| | ||
 on March 13, 2004 |
The french beach, located half way between Hawkes Bay and Paradise Point is, in fact a small fishing village known to the locals as Haji Abdullah Goth. Surrounded by a boundary wall, it has some 20 huts constructed by villagers for hire. The village has neither running water nor electric power. Its rocky beach and clear waters are ideal for snorkeling and skin-diving. Boats for scuba-diving are available for hire. Visitors need to bring their own equipment as well as food and drink supplies. |

| Highest Mountain Ranges: The green and fertile Turikho Valley, (Tirich Mir) | | |
| | ||
| on March 18, 2004 |
The green and fertile Turikho Valley, about 100 kilometers long, wends south from the Afghan border to join the valley of the Mastuj River about 65 kilometers northeast of Chitral town. It gives access to magnificent trekking west into the heart of Chitral, close to the highest mountains of the Hindu Kush. East of Turikho, the Khot and Shah Junali passes lead over to the Yarkhun Valley. The lower Turikho Valley is known as Mulkho, the middle section is called Tilnicho, and the upper part is called the Rich Valley. Two roads lead into the valley. The older, slower route leaves the Mastuj road immediately after Charun Bridge, which carries the jeep road from the sduth bank to the. north bank of the Mastuj River just upstream of the junction of the Turikho and Mastuj rivers. This leads to Mulkho, the lower Turikho Valley. The new, faster road to the upper Turikho and Rich valleys leaves the Mastuj road about 12 kilometers further up, just opposite Buni, the capital of central Chitral. Oddly, Buni, the largest town in upper Chitral, is not marked on any map, though it is mentioned in books about the seige of Chitral in 1895. The town is across on the south side of the Mastuj River, but it is accessible by a jeep bridge. It is the government headquarters for upper Chitral and has government rest houses and some local hotels |

| Highest Mountain Ranges: Naltar Valley...Real Mountain World | | |
| | ||
| on March 18, 2004 |
The green and forested Naltar Valley receives more rainfall than other areas in the Hunza Valley, and its alpine scenery is a refreshing change in the arid Karakoram. The Naltar Valley runs north-west from Nomal village, on the west bank of the Hunza River 25 km north-east of Gilgit. Naltar was a hill station for the Brifish and has some military facilities, including a Pakistan Air Force winter survival school. The peaks above the upper valley attract climbers each year. Sentinel (5260m) is a moderately difficult alpine climb, while Shani peak (5887m) is a very serious mixed rock and I snow climb. Trekkers enjoy the meadows up valley, and the Pakora Pass trek from Naltar to Pakora has become a popular walk. Shinaspeaking Naltar villagers are both Sunni and Shia Muslims and some tension exists between these communities. Pakora villagers in the Ishkoman Valley are mostly Khowar-speaking Ismaili and Sunni Muslims, and welcome trekkers. |

| Chitral and Kailash Valley: Garam Chasma(Hot Spring)...Have a hot bath | | |
| | ||
| on March 17, 2004 |
The heart of activities in Luthko Valley is strategic little town Gharam Chasma. It is located on the bank of a Luthko Gol about forty kilometres from Chitral City. There used to be a refugees camp during Russian occupation in Afghanistan in Garam Chashma -- a tehsil headquarters. The open ground where Afghan children used to play and elder used to contemplate their future during forced exile is lying vacant as a strong reminder of the past. Herd of goats was resting in the vast ground where one could see the signs of a well-used cricket pitch. Small bazaar in the town is lined with humble tea shops, eateries, modest provision stores that are mostly stocked once Lowari opens to road traffic during summers and a few shop selling Lajvard (Armenian stone) and Zamurrad (Emerald) that find their way in the town, for the tourists mostly. There is a high school in the town. East of the main road near the town is a famous hot spring. The hot water comes from the hills. Near the residential area, a small steaming stream branch off to enter bathrooms and swimming pool (constructed by Chitral Scouts) before it joins the main course again. There are quite a few legends (or facts) famous about the hot spring. As per Mohyuddin, the water of hot sparing is a cure to Gouts and numbers of other skin diseases. I only revelled into the hot water to freshen up. It was very comforting. |

| Desert: DESERT IN BALOCHISTAN.. | | |
| | ||
| on May 20, 2004 |
The largest desert is found in western Balochistan. This is an area of inland drainage and dry lakes (hamuns), the largest of which is Hamun-i-Mashkhel, which is 54 miles long and 22 miles wide. The surface is littered with sun-cracked clay, oxidized pebbles, salty marshes and crescent-shaped moving sand dunes. The area is known particularly for its constant mirage and sudden severe sand-storms. Being outside the sphere of monsoon current, Balochistan receives scanty and irregular rainfall (4 inches); the temperature is very high in summer and very low in winter. The desert covers most of the Gawadar Area that's why its called Gawadar Desert as well. The people living in the deserts are very hospitial & friendly. You must arrange a Camel Safari to the desert. |
