Difficult Roads Often Lead to Beautiful Destinations!

in TravelFeed5 years ago

The travellers who take difficult and dangerous paths know that at the end they get fascinating rewards of their all toil of their travel. Exploring the beauty and diversity of other regions and people living there bring them happiness and solace.

Gilgit Baltistan is a mountainous region in Northern parts of Pakistan. The beauty of the area is magnificent and there are countless places that are worth visiting. Three great mountain ranges i.e. Karakoram, Himalayas and Hindukush bring so much beauty and diversity to the landscape.

Sakardu is the largest city in the Baltistan region. It is a vibrant city with full of life and natural beauty. You can go there by road or through air. The road from Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan, is one the most dangerous yet fascinating roads of the world.

I, with my friends, visited several tourist places that around the city that are famous for their own reasons. We visited Shigar Fort residence place that is around 45 km from Sakardu. It took 1 and half hour drive to reach there.

The winding road leading to the historic Fort passes through cold desert that lies beside the mighty river Indus. This is the picture I took of the bridge on the river Indus. Cold Desert lies just beneath the snow capped mountains in the foreground.

Shigar Fort was built in 17th century by the Royal family of the area. Here are some of the glimpses of the beauty of the Fort. The walls are made of stones that are so marvellous indeed.

Below are images I took of the interior and antiques that are quite unique in their appearance. They were in use of the then royal family.

The Fort has beautiful lawn and a cherry orchard and different fruit trees are planted there.

We had a great time there. There was a peace and calm there and we spent our time by exploring the beauty of Fort. This is the picture I took while on the roof. You can see how the magnificent is the view!
