Share two popular tourist spots in your country and the reason why they are so popular?

My country Pakistan is a naturally beautiful country and has many places includes mountain areas where tourists come and enjoy in large numbers but for me two of the most famous places where tourists visit in large numbers are Hunza Valley and Badshahi Mosque.

• Hunza valley ,It is located in Gilgit-Baltistan region, this valley is several feet above the sea level. Yaay this valley has many lakes, springs, mountains, trees and very beautiful landscapes that attract tourists.It is a place that is perfect for people who love natural beauty. Our cultural festivals and programs are organized here every year to promote the local culture, which is very popular with foreigners. The people here are very hospitable and take special care of people from other cities and countries.

• Badshahi Masjid is located in my favorite city Lahore, Pakistan. This mosque has a religious identity. It was built during the Mughal era, so its design and architecture are completely inspired by the Mughal Empire and ancient customs. It is a place where Muslims from Pakistan and around the world worship and offer prayers. This place has religious and cultural identity and importance for Muslims. Both Muslims and non-Muslims visit this place and are interested in knowing its history and culture and love it very much.

Do foreign tourists visit these spots? What special facilities are there for them?

Yes, foreign tourists visit these two places in large numbers and these two places are very popular.Hunza Valley is also known as heaven on earth.

We have found that Hunza Valley is a place where nature itself provides many tourist and sightseeing spots for people. Many local dhabas and restaurants have also been opened in this place for tourists where they can enjoy the traditional food of this place. At the same time, some residential hotels have been opened here where tourists from distant areas can stay for a few days.

Separate prayer areas have been made for women and men at this place so that they can offer their prayers. There are many guides who will tell you about the details of the Badshahi Mosque and all its routes and history, making it easy for tourists to explore this mosque. Refreshments and light food are also provided in this mosque

What kind of improvement do you think is needed to increase the visibility of foreign tourists there?

Hunza valley as it is situated in an area which is high above the sea level. That is why it is difficult to provide facilities and provide modern comforts to the people because there is a lack of resources. Due to which the tourists coming here face difficulties. The roads leading to this valley are also very difficult and rocky, where there are risks of landslides, the government should make strong and wide roads to avoid these risks. And more government and local officials should arrange residential houses and emirate hotels in this place so that tourists can stay .

In badshahi mosque , the surrounding roads, parking areas and transportation system should be improved in order to make the access of people here easier so that tourists do not have to face any difficulty in coming here . Apart from this, some arrangements should be made to overcome a language barrier .

Do you know any spot that is not yet known to everyone but has the potential to become a popular tourist destination in the future?

Yes, there are many such places in the northern regions of Pakistan which have the potential to become a popular tourists destination but has not been given much attention due to which they are out of reach of tourists, one such place is Ratti Gali Lake.

It is a lake surrounded by high mountains, it is very beautiful. The water of this lake also keeps changing color with the time from blue to green or green to Blue. It is also surrounded by a large number of greeneries on top of the mountains which makes the view even more beautiful.Very few people visit this place because it is behind the mountains but it is a place where people enjoy and love it very much.
