Islamabad: The beginning of November is when autumn reveals its treasures that have been kept concealed all year and brings extraordinary natural vistas for people who refer to it as “the second spring when every leaf is a flower.”

The mood is changed by the changing natural landscape in the autumn, which encourages most people to spend time in nature and feel the temperature shift.

In addition to the distinctive change in plant colours, many regions consider autumn to be the most pleasant time of year to travel if you want to avoid the summer tourist rush and the difficulty of getting around during the winter in Pakistan’s northern regions owing to snowfall.

“The landscape of valleys of Gilgit-Baltistan is at its most picturesque in the autumn. There are only a few spots in this region where you may experience the most vibrant fall foliage, including the Nagar and Hunza valleys, ”Pakistan Tourism Development Corporation (PTDC) Managing Director Aftabur Rehman Rana appreciated the mesmerising beauty of the region which autumn brings out and urged that tourists must visit Pakistan in autumn.

“There are several well-known peaks in this region that are taller than 6000 metres. The most stunning mountain peaks in the area, including Ultar, Rakaposhi, Diran, Ladyfinger, Golden Peak, and many more, may be seen during this journey.”

“The tour gives us a fantastic opportunity to photograph the breathtaking autumn beauty if we visit this area in the fall. Additionally, the local community is free from agricultural activities at this period, giving you the opportunity to visit and take in their vibrant culture,” PTDC MD added.

Moreover, In order to capture stunning landscapes and vivid natural views, artists, nature enthusiasts, photographers, and videographers also plan their domestic and foreign travel.

“We observe the lush, green environment immediately following the spring, which persists through the summer and flowers more during the monsoon, before abruptly changing into burned orange, rust, bronze, and ochre hues that are frequently referred to as the majestic rubies and ambers of this season.

Another thing that draws me back to natural areas time and time again is the crisp sound that walking on dried leaves makes,” said Sumaira Raheem, an artist, who paints autumn on her canvases.

“The government has planned a number of activities and improved the facilities related to road connectivity and flights to facilitate tourists visiting the Northern Areas in the autumn season this year after tours by domestic and foreign tourists were postponed in the summer due to floods in Pakistan,” the Managing Director informed.

According to him, the events included the Sarfaranga Jeep Rally in Skardy, the Festival of the North in Hunza, and numerous local activities to help local businesses and draw tourists to appreciate the area’s natural scenery and cultural legacy.
