RAWALAKOT, PAKISTAN: Thousands of tourists throng to the scenic mountain peaks of Tolipeer and Pehrr, and romantic Banjosa Lake to enjoy the natural beauty of Kashmir — the region which is often referred to as paradise on earth.
The Poonch district, which has major tourist destinations, hopes to host around a million visitors during the current season when rising temperature hits areas of Sindh, Punjab and other parts of the country.
Tolipeer is a hilltop area situated in the Poonch district on Pakistan’s Jammu and Kashmir side. Its elevation is about 9,000 feet above sea level. From the top of the hill visitors can view Abbaspor, Bagh and Poonch River. Tolipir is the highest mountainous location in the northeastern area of Rawalakot. It is the point of origin of three different mountain ridges.
To facilitate visiting tourists, a number of rest houses have been built and makeshift arrangements made in the area.
Surrounded by pine trees and mountains, Banjosa Lake is an artificial lake and a tourist destination also located in the Poonch district. It is located at an altitude of around 2,000 feet above sea level.
The location and the surroundings of the lake are charming and romantic for visitors — both locals and those from other parts of Pakistan.
Pehrr is located some six kilometers from the Khaigala Bazaar on the way to Tolipeer. The mountain peak is also being used by Pakistan’s telecommunication companies where signal towers have been erected. From the top of the Pehrr Rawalakot Airport, Hajjira, a town located at the Line of control, Khaigala Bazaar and Tolipeer can be viewed.
