On 25 March, 2021 we welcomed a group of 15 tourists from Czech Republic. This 17 days tour was mainly focused to highlight the culture of Gandhara and Indus valley civilization. Thank God there was no issue of Covid-19 and all tourists were tested negative.

In October 2020 we handled a small group of tourists from Thailand doing Gilgit to Chitral via Shandur Pass. The road is not in good condition but the landscapes are matchless and Pakistan is lucky to have such beautiful mountains. I believe that with little efforts and by bringing infrastructure improvements Pakistan may attract millions of foreign tourists to see these autumn colors.
