Gilgit-Baltistan has huge potential for tourism that needs to be exploited. There is a need to pay special attention to tourism promotion and environmental protection. Tourism can be the biggest source of employment in Pakistan – if proper work is done to develop the sector, the premier told CM GB.
Deosai region is located on the boundary of the Karakoram and the western Himalayas. It remains covered with snow for 8 months. The region hosts a range of beautiful flowers of all hues and colours, but not a single tree is found in this plateau spread over 3000 square km.
