KATPANA DESERT

On the contrary, the Katpana Desert repudiates all of these associative elements with a desert. Kalpana desert is located in Skardu, has an altitude of 2,226 meters above sea level, and is categorized as one of the highest deserts in the world.

SIACHEN
In the Eastern Karakoram range of the Himalayas, at the line of control of Pakistan and India, lies a beguiling Siachen Glacier. Its significant identity revolves around the fact of it is the longest glacier in Pakistan and the second-longest in the world’s nonpolar regions. Siachen is a recognizable site of a dispute between Pakistan and India in terms of its unresolved claimed land. The element of mesmeric natural beauty along with its being a site that enlightens patriotic spirit among the nation makes Siachen a place to be sightseeing.
With time passing by, some negative actions of humans like waste dumping, improper disposal, and eco-unfriendly activities, have led to a glacial retreat. Which when not controlled, can result in the catastrophic loss of an enchanting place like Siachen. Thus, to tackle this unacceptable behavior of people and to preserve the ecosystem of this exotic glacier, environmentalists and peace activists have come forward and presented a pact for Siachen, declaring it as a “Peace Park”
