1. OVERVIEW:

1.1. In 1991, the government of NWFP created Sarhad Tourism Corporation (STC) as a public limited company to promote tourism in the province. This was done in recognition of the enormous potential for economic development through environmental tourism based on the diverse landscape, rich culture and pristine ecological resources of the province. The Sarhad Tourism Corporation has the role to develop/ promote and expose Pakistan's tourism potential to the outside world .

1.2. Learning from the experiences of the other Tourism Corporations in Pakistan and the other sister organizations of Siri Lanka and Maldives etc. the Sarhad Tourism Corporation (STC) was established by the government of N.W.F.P with a clear mandate to play its role as a catalyst and help develop and promote the tourism industry through the private sector through public sector incentives. It is the government of NWFP's strategy to help the STC to stand on its own feet and become a self sustaining organization.

Sustainable Development is that which meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Wherever possible, development should leave an enlarged range of opportunities for the future. In seeking to develop a viable tourism industry, only if the "greenness" and cultural heritage of NWFP are maintained will domestic and foreign tourists be attracted in sufficient numbers to justify the infrastructure investment required.

1.3 As part of the schemes that can not be funded from ADP and be offered to the donors and the private sector the Sarhad Tourism Corporation submits the same proposal that was discussed on 10-08-1999 by a high level meeting of the PE&D department and subsequently submitted to the Ministry of Tourism by the PE&D department. The Sarhad Tourism corporation has formulated this concept paper from a number of Feasibilty studies undertaken through the ADP .

1.4. The North West Frontier Province (NWFP) runs for over 1.100 kms (680 miles) along the border with Afghanistan. The Capital of NWFP remained the hurt of the ancient kingdom of Gandhara and is rich in archaeological remains. The northern half of the province consists of five river valleys running roughly parallel

north to south: the Chitral, Dir, Swat, Indus and Kaghan. These valleys are on the northern edge of the monsoon belt, so are fairly green and partly wooded in their southern section. Northern Chitral and the upper region of the Indus Valley are mountainous deserts, where cultivation depends entirely on irrigation. The NWFP south of Peshawar is below the monsoon belt and consist of low, rocky mountains and wide, gravelly plains.

The town itself has little to offer but it acts as a base point for seeing a concentration of Buddhist and other ancient sites of Gandhara civilization.

3.2. Takht-i-Bhai:By far the best and most complete of all Gandhara ruins are those of the 7th century AD. Bushiest monastery, spectacularly placed on a rocky hill 15 km north-west of Mardan.

3.3. Shahbaz Garhi and the Ashokan Inscriptions:Shahbaz Garhi is located 13 km east of Mardan on the road to Swabi. Sown a dirt track to the right, a few meters, are the famous Ashokan inscriptions, carved in two rocks on a hill about 300 meters to the left. The Ashokan inscriptions date from the 3rd century BC and are the oldest surviving writings of any historical significance in the Subcontinent.

At Shahbaz Garhi 12 edicts are carved on the rock, two on another, Shahbaz Garhi is important to Buddhists because f its association with prince Sudana, or Buddha in one of his previous incarnations, Sudana means of noble charity; the area is still popularly know as the Sudana Plan.

Two big rocks resembling water buffaloes lie side by side on the hill top; "mekha" means female water buffalo, 'sanda' male- hence the monastery's name.

4. SWAT:

4.1. Udegram Ruins:Udegram was an extremely large town where we can see the ruined central massive buildings dating back to the Kushan period. Here an imposing staircase has been uncovered consisting of a series of steps about 25 feet long which belong to the Sassanian period. Arrows found in great quantity testify to the fierce battles which in various periods were fought for its capture. Coins, pottery, beads and a few ornaments are precious items of reference in the chronological order with reference to the various layers.

4.2. Shankar Dara:There is a stupa most probably of the days of Ashoka and building remains/ruins on a small hill, which also date back to the

Buddhist days which was the prime period of this religion for its followers in this part of the country. A unique feature of the buildings constructed during the Buddhist civilization is that these buildings used to be located on the adjacent hills adjoining the cultivable lands or in some cases adjoining flowing water. This indicates that they would try to be placed on safe commanding sites away from the vagary of floods and/or possible invaders.

4.3. Ghalegai Cave:This is a prehistoric cave near a stupa nearby Ghalegai Details of this cave are shrouded and have to be explored. This is an outstanding challenge for the present day archaeologists.

4.4. Buddha On Rock:Near village Ghalegai on road from Chakdara to Saidu Sharif is a large statue of Mahatma Budha carved on a big rock and is an item of attraction for the visitors. There is no sign post and most of the tourists cross over the bend of the road unaware of the location.A few steps were constructed during the past for observing the statue closely. With manhandling during the past, the statue has been disfigured. Even now it is not too late to mend. A railing with a small gate and a sign post is needed. The sign post or board will give indication for the location while the railing and the gate will give an impression that the statue is meant to be preserved.

4.5. Gogdara:Beyond Ghalegai , this is the most attractive site just off the main road. Carving on rock here are of main interest.

4.6. Landaki Fishing Point:This is a beautiful spot as the Swat River hugs the road here in a lend. Reclaimed river bed with grassy cover and few shady trees has made this site attractive. Small improvised refreshment stalls have been created for temporary spot over of passengers and tourists. Some amateur anglers try their luck for fishing here, others enjoy the roasted fish with a cup of tea or a cold drink. It will not be out of place if a public sector small restaurant with requisite facilities is constructed and leased out to a private party.

4.7. Mingora:Mingora is the district headquarters and main bazaar area. Its shopkeepers are always prepared to engage in serious bargaining and they offer wide range of items such as jewellary, gems, embroidery, local handicrafts and Swati shawls. Foreign made

items are abundantly available as a number of people of Swat are employed overseas and in merchant navy who bring these items with them and dispose them off in the local market.

4.8. Kabal golf Course:Kabal is an attractive site located on the North of Mingora town across river Swat in relatively plain land at the foot of hill range. Nearby is the airport connecting Swat with the rest of the country Kabal is a Golfers Paradise. An eighteen-holes golf course is open all the year round and a tourist can play by paying the government fee. A Govt. Rest House and a large fruit orchard also located here. A modern hotel is planned to be constructed here in the coming years which will provide facilities of stay for tourists which is presently lacking as the Govt Rest House is not available to visitors.

4.9. Saidu Sharif:Saidu Sharif is the administrative capital of NWFP/Swat/Abbottabad District. Here is located the Swat Museum, the remains of Butkada stupa, the Wali of Swat palace, the tomb of Akhund of Swat called Saidu Baba and of course, the Swat Serena Hotel.

4.10. Gulkada:At Gulkada, 2 miles north of Saidu Sharif, probably the most important monastery of the country has been located. It surrounds a big Stupa from where clandestine diggers have in the past many years brought to light some of the most beautiful fragments of Gandhara art. This is now within the precincts of Mingora extension of the town where office complex of the district administration is situated. This name of Gulkada is not more than two decades old. Its older name was Butkadah meaning a place where statues are located.

The site is an old place of a village/ town of the Buddhist period and excavations done here during the past by the archaeology department exposed the ruins which are now visible to the visitor.

4.11. Swat Museum:Nearby is located a Museum called Swat Museum which houses many valuable collections of the excavations in and around Mingora and the adjoining archaeological sites. These collections are indications of the life style of the people and their beliefs.

4.12. Marghozar(White Palace):This beautiful spot is situated about 12 km towards South-West of

Mingora. There is a building made of white marble and used to be occupied by the Wali's father, namely Abdul Wadood , alias Bacha Sahib. There is an open mosque a spring of very cold water at a lower level than the palace. A parking platform is also available between the mosque and the palace. For several decades the building remained vacant just to remind the rule of the ex-autocrat. Now this has been leased out to become a restaurant-cum-hotel. It has also got the facility of joy rides for the children. Since this is situated at a height of about 4000 ft and has got shaded trees around and also along the approach road, it has wholesome cooling effect on the visitors.

4.13. Fizagat:The scenic river bank is a tourist attraction spot throughout the year but more so during the summer months as the cold snow melt water of Swat river affords welcome relief to the visitors who sometimes enjoy a dip in the river. The site has attraction as a picnic spot in all reasons of the year.

The history of this attractive name is however very gruesome. This site used to be called Qazaghat previously as condemned prisoners of the then Swat State were executed here by firing squads of the ex-ruler Bacha Sahib, Abdul Wadood by name and father of the ex- Wali. Shariat Laws were practiced under the patronage of Bacha Sahib Abdul Wadood by his appointed Qazis. The implementation of the Islamic Jurisprudence by the then Qazis was according to their own knowledge of Islam and there was no scope of appeal against the verdict. This is now an old story and common tourists will not be interested in the old practices of the area, the site is presently a healthy road side spot frequented by local and other tourists. THey enjoy snacks or else spend busy time in picnic.

4.14. Miandam:This is situated midway between Mingora and khwazakhela. It has got an attractive commanding view over the narrow valley at the end of which it is situated. A PTDC hotel has sometime back been established which affords facilities to the tourists for stay. There is yet another Rest House nearby. The connecting road between the two has been proposed to be black topped at a cost of R: 2.0 million. A provision of 0.5 million is made for 1995-96 while R: 1.5 million are proposed to be spent in 1996-97.

4.15. Malam Jabba:Malam Jabba is a Ski-cum-summer Tourist Resort, 35 kilometers

from Saidu Sharif (an hour long drive) where a beautiful white palatial building welcomes the tourists.

There are two kinds of lift chairs. One for reaching the hill peak and the other which takes us to the skiing area during the winters. The resort is still not fully developed.

This site is situated between Mingora and Khwazakhela on a bye-pass road in the hill 35 Km from Saidu Sharif. The site is meant for skying during Winter and tourist resort in Summer. A luxurious hotel accommodation has been constructed with the cooperation of Austrian Govt. Situated at a height about 6,500 ft it has an attraction for the tourists to welcome them.

The tourists are however visiting the site infrequently . There could be a few reasons for the same. Lack of publicity, uneasy and uncomfortable access road, higher hotel charges could be the possible reasons.

4.16. Manglor:This is a populous village situated on the left bank of Swat River between Mingora and Khwazakhela. It is an important village historically as it has remained the seat of rule during the Mughals and even before that.

4.17. Bahrain:It too is situated on the main Mingora-Kalam Road, just short of Kalam. Here the gushing and splashing crystal clear cold water of two tributaries meet which presents an absorbing moment to the mind and the eyes. The swift movement of beautiful trout fish to and for is an added attraction.

Other worldly engagements aside one would like to stay on here for days together to beat the heat of the southern hot sultry summer.

4.18. Kalam:Kalam (6,800 feet above sea level) is about 110 kilometers (65 miles) north of Mingora and is the highest city in the Swat valley. A wooden bridges links the city parts across the river. On all sides are snow-covered peaks of the Hindu Kush range, dense forests of fir, pine, deodar and wild flowers. This is the terminus of the main glen starting somewhere from Khwaza khela, as the valley here splits into two, Ushoo and Athrore. The river bed here slightly wider, forms into two small islands which further adds to the beauty of the place as tourists reach the island with picnic arrangements, photography and angling. It is

to remind the reader that trout fish here is one of the greatest attraction, which is available under licensed reel and rod.

4.19. Mahudand Lake:From Kalam, Mahodand Lake is 30 kilometers and to visit the lake one has to hire a jeep. About 10 kilometers before the lake, there is a fascinating waterfall. It is the most beautiful and biggest fall in this area. In route to NWFP/Swat/Abbottabad one comes across two or at best one glaciers, which may pose an obstacle for onward journey. Commissioner Malakand has informed that Islamic Investment Bank is establishing a Tentage Village / Camping site at Mahodand Swat. the district Administration will provide safety & road maintenance/ accessibility to the site in all weathers.

5. ABBOTTABAD DISTRICT

5.1. Abbottabad CityThis is the Headquarter of the district and situated in 34 09' N and 73-13' E. The headquarter of the district was fist placed here in 1853 and the new cantonment was named after Major James Abbott, first Deputy Commissioner of NWFP/Swat/Abbottabad (1847 - 1853). The town is picturesquely situated at the southern corner of the plain, 4120 ft above sea level. This beautiful scenic place is bounded by hills on all the four sides except its approach form the southern inlet and the northern exit towards Mansehra. The city has by now developed into a attractive tourist spot with all possible amenities. These amenities broadly are, good roads leading to Nathia Gali-Murree, Mansehra-Kaghan, Naran, good quality hotels and restaurants with gas connections, tourist information center, post and telegraph, NWD telephones and a medical complex and shopping facility for quality products . One township called Jinnahabad township has already been constructed while a second one is in process by the Physical Planning and Housing Department of Government of N.W.F.P.

Abbottabad is basically a cantonment city which is a base of some well known Army Units. Pakistan Military Academy is located at Kakul which falls within the urban limits of Abbottabad. This academy has a strong and visible impact on the urban life of Abbottabad. The second most significant activity is the presence of a number of high standard English Medium educational institutions both in private and public sectors.

5.2. Jinnah Bagh:It has a potential to be developed into a public park with additional facilities such as fountains, artificial rock

mountains , children amusement play ground in addition to children's small train service for kids would be an addendum to its existing beauty.

5.3. Army Stadium:It is proposed that the Army establishment would be taken into confidence in order to make it upgraded to the level of Army stadium Peshawar.

5.4. Shimla Hill :A cable car facility is proposed for the site as it ideally is located for installation of the proposed facility.

5.5. Frontier House:Commissioning of this colonial building as tourist resort is proposed.

5.6. Sports -City Abbottabad:The director sports is to be engaged as this issue has already been discussed and proposed to the relevant quarters concerned in respect of promoting sports tourism.

5.7. Ayub Medical Complex/ Parks Landscaping:The area situated in the suburb of abbottabad city and required face lifting by adopting various measures like landscaping etc. in order to make it beautiful.

5.7.1 Abbot Abad Public Park near Abbottabad Public School:The possibility of commissioning of a public park in the vicinity of the School.

5.8. Nawan Shehr:Closely situated to Abbottabad, this town older than Abbottabad itself, is known for its springs. The gushing spring water is cold in summer, and warm in winter. Tourists enjoy the profusely flowing water which does not diminish in any season of the year. While visiting/staying at Abbottabad or on way to Kaghan valley the Nawan Sher town is a place of interest for the tourists which is located at a distance of only 5 kilometers from the down town Abbottabad and falls within its urban limits. Being located in close proximity, it depends on Abbottabad for most of the urban facilities and services.

5.9. Ilyasi Mosque:Ilyasi Mosque located at Nawan Shehr is another historic land

mark of the area. It is a beautiful mosque with interesting architectural structure.

GULIYAT

5.10. Kalabagh:It is a small cantonment, situated 34-06' N and 73-25' E on the road between Abbottabad and Nathia Gali at a distance of 2 kilometers short of Nathia Gali. Except for its scenic beauty and overlooking view of the lower green hills from the road, there is no stop over arrangement of any sort. A helipad belonging to the Pakistan Air Force is located here. Most of the Rest Houses located here belong to Pakistan Army. The view of Nathia Gali from here is beautiful.

5.11. Khaira Gali:It is also a small settlement situated at 33-55'N and 73-20' E. This is the last settlement before the road from Nathia Gali enters into Punjab while going to Murree. Murree is about 12 kilometers from here. Beautiful scenery can be enjoyed in all directions from here. No important tourist facilities is available here except refreshments and snacks.

5.12. Khanspur/Ayubia:These two are closely situated (34o-02'N and 73o-30'E). Khanspur is linked with the main Murree-Abbottabad Road with a small link road. Khanspur being cantonment is prohibited for the visitors while Ayubia is actually meant for tourists. Ayubia has been developed into a tourist spot as chair lifts have been installed and a large number of visitors enjoy this facility every year during the summer. With all this National park of wild life ,fanfare and joy sides, there is no road side facility for the tourists for over night stay. Quite a few tourist huts at normal rates are required to be constructed to make the site more attractive.

5.13. Nathia Gali:It has been the summer headquarter of the Frontier Govt., and is a hill resort with beautiful buildings and hotels. It is situated at 34-05' N and 73-58'E midway on the road from Abbottabad to Murree. Hotels developed here in the recent past are expensive for the average tourist. Road side facility adequately for the tourists is a must to have attraction for them. In fact the influx of tourists during summer months warrants that, because a normal tourist cannot afford the high charges of the good quality hotels.

5.14. Thandiani:

Though closely situated to Abbottabad, this hill side resort at a height of 8,845 feet has not received due attention from the tourism point of view. A couple of rest houses exist here but are owned by provincial departments which can not ordinarily be used by the tourists. As and when the tourist influx develops, of course through proper publicity, additional facilities can be added later on. It is worth mentioning here that a small shopping center used to exist during the early British days. A T.V. booster has been installed here to extend transmission facilities to far flung villages.

5.15. Changla Gali and Bara Gali:These beautiful small hilly villages are a source of attraction while on way to Murree from Abbottabad. Because of thickly covered mountains with Pine, Oaks and Jenifer trees, these places present an enchanting picture to the eyes. The wild life peeping from behind the tree trunks is yet another attraction for the tourist.

5.16. Dunga Gali:A PC-one and feasibility report is ready to be implemented in order to install a chairlift scheme including other requisite tourist facilities.

6. KOHAT:

6.1. Kohat:Kohat is basically a cantonment with in it is the Garrison Town. The main road by passes it, but it is worth going through the centre to see the old British establishments.

6.2. Tanda Dam:This site has been selected for a restaurant presently under construction by the corporation within the protected area of the Wild Life Park there.

6.3. Khushal Garh:This rest house located on main Pindi Kohat road has been transferred to the Corporation and has been offered for lease to the private sector through print media.

6.4. Banda Daud Shah:This rest house is located 7 kms off the main Indus high way towards D.I.Khan at a point called Lachi where a road turns towards Banda Daud Shah rest house. It has has been transferred to the Corporation and has been offered for lease to the private

sector through print media.

7. D. I. Khan:

7.1. D.I.Khan:D. I. Khan is the getaway to NWFP for the tourists entering Pakistan from Balochistan and Punjab. Majority of the tourists entering from the western border on motorbike follow this route to NWFP. Most of them however just pass through D.I. Khan. There are two ancient sites, one is on Chashma Road know as "Kafir Kot" just 1 km towards left near Bilot Head Works, and the other is Rehman Dheri, which is about 25 km on the Bannu Road, very few people know about it.

7.2. Bilot Head Works:A picnic spot, located on the metalled road at a distance of 75KM from D.I. Khan is an ideal place for a recreational park or the restaurant. Local residents of D. I. Khan visit this site for picnic. The ancient site of Kafir Kot is hardly 5 km from this point.

7.3. Amusement park:On the west bank of river Indus near Hotel Midway an amusement park may be developed for local residents. This is easily approachable and in the evening local communities stroll on the river side. The river side is very crowded on Fridays when families come for a picnic.

7.4. Narrow Gauge Railway Safari:Although it will be a long term project, yet narrow Gauge railway can be reinstalled which will promote tourism industry as well as serve as an additional means of transport, Locals told that remains of the narrow Gauge railway line still exist along the riverside as it used to pass through the place where now Midway Hotel stands.

7.5 Rehman Dheri:Indus civilization ruins are found at a distance of 20 km from D. I. Khan at Rehman Dheri. Tourist interested in pre-historic and Indus civilization visit this place.

7.6 Kafir Kot Forts:On the way to Chashma Barrage (from D.I. Khan), The Southern Kafir Kot Fort stands on low (Marwat) hills and is clearly visible from the road. Kike the Northern Kafir Kot Fort, 38 km further up the Indus, it was built at the time of the Hindu Rajput Kingdom (8th to the 10th century) and was destroyed by Mahmud of Ghaznavi in the 11th century. Neither fort was

rebuilt.

As the Southern Kafir Kot Fort there are three main temple and shrines on the same plinth. THe carving deep chiselled and reminiscent of Mayan sculpture, is fine and well preserved.

The Northern Kafir Kot Fort is about 6 km north of the western end of Chashma Barrage. The fort commands a splendid defensive position. It covers a rubble-strewn area of about 25 hectares (62 acres).
