Nature presents beauty which satisfies man's deepest desire. The beauty of evergreen forests, the music of gently flowing streams and the magic of snow capped mountains cast their spell on all those whose senses are alive and healthy. To explore this nature and to bring some kind of joy into our hearts my parents planned a visit to Skardu in June. We decided to go by air from Islamabad. The air journey, about 45 minutes from take off, offers fabulous aerial view of some of the world's highest peaks. The Northern Areas of Pakistan are a rocky wilderness of 2,700 sq miles. Our stay was at the Shangrila Resorts located at a height of 2500 metres commonly known as "The roof of the world." It was only a 15 minutes drive from Skardu Airport. The first impression of Shangrila was that of a fairy land. It encircles the heart shaped Kachura Lake, surrounded by fruit and flower filled gardens.
