Truly one of the most beautiful valley in Pakistan. Its undisturbed and pristine forests have make it Far more beautiful than its neighboring valleys where deforestation and tourism has ruined the natural beauty. The valley of beautiful meadows and flowers, One of the last remained beautiful valleys of Himalayas in south Asia.

Let us do something to save this valley this is the last Saved beautiful valley of Himalayas in Pakistan after 3 other beautiful valleys (namely Kaghan, Swat and Neelum) have been partially ruined by deforestation.( Although upper Neelum valley is still Pristine to some extent but Swat and kaghan valleys have been badly damaged by deforestation).

Have a beautiful view of it.

Note: This area is very rich in Mammals and birds species due to its undisturbed nature fortunately WWF has recognized the importance of these Himalayan Forests and probably will do something to protect this i hope so in the coming years. The quality of the picture is not like digital cameras due to the usage of an old camera. The valley is far more beautiful than picture.
