My land paints a person’s joy and love, a person’s melancholy and sorrow. History lives here and the soul of the cities could be found alongside the historic forts. It’s ice-capped mountains and big-hearted people are much admired and liked.
What attracts tourists the most are the snow clad peaks, lush green meadows and turquoise lakes. The romantic cluster of farms alongside the coastlines and in between the towering mountains are like a string of pearls lined across the beautiful cascading rivers.
The stormy seas and the wild lapping waves gain energy from hot summers forming a perfect resort to spend a lazy summer – an ideal vacation for heat lovers. One can spot tourists and locals enjoying life at the inviting, endless beaches.
