Autumn in Gilgit Baltistan of Pakistan is something to behold. This is the time of year when the trees of poplar, apricot, mulberry, peach, apple, and plum burst forth into a riot of color with hues of orange, rust, and red. The clear and bracing weather offers the best view of the surrounding mountains. One can find pink, white, red, yellow, blue flowers, dancing, everywhere in the northern areas during the autumn season.
It applies perfectly to the Gilgit Baltistan of Pakistan, during the autumn season. Can you see a fairyland in your real life? Yes: you can, but only in the northern part of Pakistan, during the autumn season.
