Very nice and beautiful pics.
If arbaab -e- ikhtiar in PTDC are in a right state of mind they should welcome a freelance volunteer like you to share and organize tourism related information with them. Here is food for thought. Most of the places of tourist attraction have another feature added to the facility here in Canada i.e. local residents offering ‘Bed & Breakfast’ comparatively less than hotels.
You just have to go on the web type ‘Bed & Breakfast’ next to the location and there you go with the contacts of all available B & B facilities in the area.
Dear Zubair! In Pakistan who will take a risk to leave the security of a hotel and stay in a local’s house? Just pray it becomes true some day.
PTDC Motel stands destroyed although you can still ski in the area. Also add information required by tourists like places to see, lodging facilities available and how to get there, etc.
Destruction of PTDC Motel has been added. Thanks.
Masha Allah, beautiful pics.
