20 amazing pictures of Swat

Do you know, when queen Elizabeth II visited Swat, she named it "Switzerland of the east". Green meadows, high mountains and clear lakes make Swat a great beauty and attraction for tourists. I have never visited swat still its fame because of its natural beauty is so enormous that every single Pakistani know it well. Swat is famous for tourism and the beauty of nature it has to offer.
Swat gain notoriety in the past because of some terrorist activist in the past but now everything in under control.

Beautiful Balochistan v1

In regional language Balochistan means the land of Balochs. It covers approximately 44% of the entire county but is the least populated province, containing less than 5% of the total population. Common misconception lies that its nothing but desert and ruins but there are many places which attracts the tourists not only within Pakistan but from all over the world.

The province is boarded with Afghanistan, Iran and Arabian sea. And internally with Punjab and Sindh provinces.
