Naltar Valley is a high alpine valley in Gilgit-Baltistan at 3,100 metres, known for its dense pine and fir forests, three stunning turquoise lakes (Naltar Lakes), and Pakistan's only ski resort. In winter (December–March), Naltar transforms into a snow paradise with skiing slopes, while summer brings lush green meadows, wildflowers, and the magical multi-coloured Naltar Lakes (Lower, Middle and Upper). The valley is used as a Pakistan Army skiing training ground and hosts international events.

Shogran is a pristine hill station at 2,362 metres in the Kaghan Valley, Mansehra District of KPK. It is a green alpine plateau surrounded by towering pine forests and snow-capped peaks, offering stunning views of Makra Peak (3,885m). Shogran is the gateway to Siri Paye — a beautiful meadow at 3,145 metres — and the magical Saiful Muluk Lake (3,224m), the highest lake in Pakistan accessible by road. The area is famous for its fairy-tale fog-laden mornings, clean mountain air, and wildflowers.

Ziarat is a small hill resort in Balochistan at 2,449 metres, famous for having the world's second largest juniper forest — some trees are estimated to be 5,000 years old. The valley experiences heavy snowfall in winter and mild summers (15–20°C) making it a rare cool destination in otherwise hot Balochistan. The Ziarat Residency — a Quetta-stone bungalow where Pakistan's founder Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah spent his final days in 1948 — is a national monument. The juniper-covered mountains, fresh spring water, and serene atmosphere make Ziarat a hidden gem.
