The Land of Beauty

  • Pakistan is richly blessed when it comes to Valleys because all over the country—you’ll find many valleys scattered about in northern areas or any place where you can smell the distinctive smell of water and rainy soil. These places like heaven slither between towering mountains, echoing in their novelty as the birds chip by and the animals who find these valleys a home come out to graze. The rocks have glossy sheen on them that never dries because of the flow that the majestic water keeps. The Hunza Valley for example is the most famous spot our country adorns, it’s mesmerizing appearance gives the vibes of a blue lagoon which is further enhanced by the grassy green plains that spread about like never ending plains.
