Rama Meadows

Rama meadow is a peaceful plain found near the Rama village in Gilgit.

One of the highest lakes in the world, Sheosar Lake flows along them with mountains and greenery in the background, making a perfect scenery.

White Palace Swat

Swat valley always tops the list of the most beautiful valleys with breathtaking sites. The historic White Palace Marghazar was built in 1941 when the Swat state was founded. It is the top tourist attraction in the Valley that becomes even more enchanting in winters with snow covering it.

Ganche District, Gilgit
