Overview

Autumn – the period of time that precedes winter. It is the season when leaves turn red, orange and yellow – a colourful sight to behold. The beauty of autumn is best seen in Gilgit-Baltistan. Travelling along the Karakoram Highway brings you to the mountains of Rakaposhi, Nanga Parbat, Golden Peak and Ultar Peaks, the valleys and the lakes. With the majestic mountains in the background, the serenity of the blue lake and the orange colour of the foliage, where else can one find peace and tranquility other than the Shangri-la of Northern Pakistan?
