The UAE News report: Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran Khan on Tuesday said his government was working on a ski resort’s feasibility in a bid to promote winter tourism in the country.

“Exploring winter tourism and ski resorts feasibility, Deosai plains first-ever winter ski traverse,” Premier Khan tweeted on April 6.

Khan mentioned that Deosai plains – the high altitude plateau in Gilgit Baltistan — had turned out to be the country’s first winter ski traverse.

Imran Khan shared a number of pictures of the local and foreign skiers enjoying themselves in the snow-clad Deosai.

Recently, a ski traverse event was held by the Tourism Department of Gilgit Baltistan at Deosai National Park to encourage tourism in the mountainous region. – abdulbasit@theuaenews.com
