Of all the places I've been in my life, Rama is the best for me. It is a valley situated in Astore district of Gilgit Baltistan in the north of my country Pakistan. Rama has everything a nature lover could ask for. Meadows surrounded by forest and further ahead by mountains. There is a lake at the top of the valley that offers a beautiful and easy 2 hour hike to adventure lovers. This valley is only accessible in summer season as it is buried under snow the rest of the year. It is a quiet cold place and holds a splendid view.
I visited Rama in June 2013. As i climbed the heights of astore district in our jeep to reach this master piece i could feel the temperatures drop. The snow had already melted revealing the lush green valley that offered a breathtaking view. Standing in front of my hotel i could see plain green land in the front with a stream running in the middle, forest up ahead and on the left as well. The area was surrounded by huge green mountains that turned white in the morning after a snowfall. A two hour hike from there led me to the Rama lake, another master piece of God. I could just sit there forever and watch the light drizzle break the calm of water. As soon as the sun goes down and if the weather is clear, the view of night sky is another treat. I remember the time i was there. My friends and i were having a bonfire, one of my friends told me to look up. As soon as i did my jaw dropped and i found myself looking at the most beautiful night sky I had ever seen. One of the happiest moments of my life. A trip that changed me completely. Helped me make the most beautiful memories. Rama is simply amazing.
