Ha Long Bay, Vietnam

Sometimes you have only a few hours to spent in a place of your dreams. No sun, no light ....
But all in all, Ha Long Bay has its soul.

Beautiful Places in Pakistan -


Pakistan is blessed with breathtaking views that are indescribable beauty. Mother Nature was very kind to Pakistan when it comes to natural beauty. Of course, there are many man-made structures built along the incredible story, but here just take a look at the natural wonders of Pakistan.

A 50 minute flight from Peshawar takes you to the north western extremity of Pakistan where lies the exotic valley of Chitral. Towering the valley is the majestic 7705 meters (25,264 ft.) high Trichmir peak. In three narrow valleys about 40 km (25 odd miles) from the town of Chitral live the famous Kafir Kalash tribe. They are known the world over for their primitive pagan traditions and their love for dance and music. Chitral has many sulphur springs and is popular for trekking, mountaineering and trout fishing. There are a couple of hotels in Chitral. PTDC has a Motel and transport hiring facilities at Chitral.



Connected by air with Islamabad and Peshawar and by road with the whole country, Swat is a picturesque valley with a rich historical past. Swat museum has exquisite specimens of Gandhara sculptures, as Swat was a flourishing Centre of Buddhism and Gandhara school of sculpture. Swat valley is ideal for trout fishing, trekking and mountaineering. It remains open throughout the year but best time to visit is from May to end of October.


This is a 154.5 km. (96 miles) long picturesque valley ending northwards in the 4148 meters (13.600 ft.) high Babusar Pass. Jeep service is available in the valley during summer, while motels and rest-houses offer comfortable accommodation . There is a PTDC stopover Motel in Balakot and a big tourist resort in Naran which provides excellent accommodation with meals at reasonable rates. It is an ideal area for trekking and trout fishing. Best time of the year in the Kaghan Valley is June 1 - Oct. 15. Worth visiting are Shogran, Lake Saiful Muluk and Lalazar.

This figure shows that Vietnam was the traveler more options are the most popular tourist destinations and attractions. Most tourists coming to Vietnam have spent some time to get to Sapa admire the beauty of this beautiful valley.
 
Sapa in Vietnam.
Often regarded as the second destination in Vietnam after Halong Bay Sapa. Mountain north of the city is moving to the spot for hiking, almost immeasurable amount of the rice terraces and visit tribal villages. Of course, a visit to Sapa at any time of year puts you in a very high risk of getting caught in the frequent storms and enjoy the area. This should not be a deterrent as the trekking in Sapa was one of my favorite experiences, although it does require additional training in the rain.
 
Sapa, the queen of the mountains.
The Queen of the Mountains, Sapa is majestically overlooking a beautiful valley, high mountains that dominate the city from all sides.Welcome to the destination in northwest Vietnam, gateway to another world of mysterious minority cultures and lush landscapes.The spectacular scenery that surrounds Sapa includes cascading rice terraces that descend from the mountains like a mosaic.Mountains are often in the fog that rolls back and forth along the peaks, offers glimpses of what is waiting for good weather. The valleys and villages around Sapa are home to a multitude of hill tribes that roam the city to buy, sell and trade.
A recent survey by the Ministry of Culture Sapa, Sport and Tourism, showed that among the 600 foreign tourists, in an interview at random, 23% said that their return to Sapa for a second time and 20% think the third time.
 
The number of foreign tourists arriving in Sapa for recreation and ecotourism represented 74% and most of them were from England, France, Russia, USA, Australia and New Zealand.
