1. Naltar valley
Naltar is known for its vibrant lakes and is about a 2.5-hour drive from Gilgit. The tastiest potatoes in the world are grown here. This valley, which is covered in pine trees, does not appear to be a part of the earth.
You must visit Naltar at least once if you truly want to experience paradise on this planet. You will fall in love with this location.
2. Neelum Valley, Azad Kashmir
In Indian-controlled Kashmir, opposite the Keran sector. A valley runs about 240 kilometers from the Chella Bandi Bridge, just north of Azaad Kashmir's capital Muzaffarabad, to Tau Butt, and is known as the Neelum Valley (literally, the Blue Gem Valley).
Neelum is one of Azaad Kashmir's most picturesque valleys, including brooks, freshwater streams, woods, lush green mountains, and a river. Here, you may observe cascades cascading down the mountains, their milky-white streams spilling over the roadways and splashing against the rocks before mixing with the muddy Neelum River.

3. Shangrila resort, Skardu
Skardu, the core valley of Gilgit-Baltistan in Pakistan's far north, is an epitome of beauty, solitude, and nature.
A tiny route leads to Skardu after Jaglot on the Karakoram Highway. Several streams, springs, and the hospitality of the locals greet one during the seven-hour ride.
After crossing the Indus River on an old wooden bridge, one arrives in Shangrila, a tourist paradise on Earth. It is a well-known tourist attraction in Skardu, which is about a 25-minute drive away. The restaurant in Shangrila Rest House, which is built in the shape of an airplane, is the centerpiece of this place.

4. Gojal Valley
The Gojal Valley, which runs between China and Afghanistan and meets the Chinese border near Khunjerab (15,397 feet above sea level), is blanketed with snow all year.
Chiporsun is located in the northwestern part of the country, along its border with Afghanistan's Wakhan area. Tajikistan begins after Wakhan, which is around six square miles in size. The Karakoram Highway, which connects Pakistan and China, also runs through Gojal Valley before entering China at Khunjerab.
5. Deosai Plains
Deosai is situated on the border of the Karakoram and the western Himalayas, at a height of almost 4000 meters above sea level. It is snow-covered for eight months. The rest of the year, it is covered in a variety of gorgeous flowers of various hues and colors, but there isn't a single tree on this 3000 square kilometer plateau.
Sheosar Lake is also included. This lake is one of the world's tallest lakes. In the summer, the deep blue lake, with snow-capped mountains in the background and greenery with wild flowers in the foreground, provides such a vision that one is entertained for the rest of one's life.

6. Rama Meadow
A magnificent and tranquil plain named Rama Meadow is just a few kilometers ahead of Rama Village, which is 11 kilometers from Astore.
You're undoubtedly in Rama Meadow if you see plain, ice-cold, milk-white water flowing in streams, sheep and cows grazing in peace, pine trees, Chongra's ice-covered peak in the distance, and Nanga Parbat's southern ridge in view.

7. Paye
Shogran had experienced an inflow of tourists who had trampled on its natural beauty, leaving it desensitized. Siri Paye, however, being a lush plateau on top of the Hindu Kush, continues to be a popular tourist destination. It entices many as a rendezvous where one may watch Nature play peek-a-boo, as it is frequently engulfed in clouds and fog.
Numerous little ponds with freshwater may be seen here, as well as horseback riders and wild yellow flowers flowering around. The splendor of the Siri Paye meadows comes to life against the backdrop of the Makra Peak.

8. Ayun and Bamburet Valley
Ayun district is a Chitral settlement. At the junction of the River Bamburet, 12 kilometers south of the city. The magnificence of the mountains that surround the settlement defies description. Bamburet Valley, one of the three Kalash valleys, is located beyond Ayun Valley.
Chitral is almost two hours away from Bamburet. The origins of the locals can be traced back to Alexander the Great and Greece. The Bamburet Valley is a beautiful valley with lush flora and mountains that provide a sense of peace and seclusion.
9. White Palace Swat
The White House Marghazar is the only breathtaking place in the Swat district, and it is located about 12 kilometers from Mingora. Tourists come to Marghazar not only for its natural beauty and nice weather, but also to see the historic White Palace (1941), which was erected during the Swat state's reign.
Marghazar became the capital of Swat state during the summer season after the White Palace was built on the orders of Miangul Abdul Wadood, also known as Badshah Sahab, the founder of modern Swat state. Even after seven decades, the White Palace continues to be a tourist magnet.
The Palace isn't simply lovely in the summer; it's also lovely in the winter.

10. Kerthar area
The Kirthar mountain connects Sindh and Balochistan and serves as a natural boundary between the two regions. Gorakh Hill (5700), Kutte Ji Qabar (6877), and Bandu Ji Qabar are also part of this mountain range (7112).
This area is noted not only for its stunning natural beauty, but also for its rich history. It is an amazing tourist destination with various streams, springs, and ancient sites spread across 150 miles, but it is unfortunate that few people want to visit. The local community is keen to welcome guests and wants to improve the region.
