KARACHI: The Neelum Valley is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful places in the subcontinent with its pristine forests, enchanting streams and the raging Neelum River. But unfortunately, this beautiful valley remains largely undeveloped. It’s a pity that an ideal tourist site has a lack of tourists owing to the government’s negligence.
The valley is naturally beautiful enough to attract tourists from all around the world. However, poor access to road services, decent hotels and basic facilities tend to cut the area off. The government must pay special attention to promote tourism in this beautiful area and provide basic facilities such as clean drinking water, sanitation facilities and road links.
