 Nowshera
is located to the
north of Khushab
district, probabally
the most populated
area in the begining
of northern hill
areas. It has many
small towns situated
all around. Overall
it is called as Soon
Valley, a beautiful
hill station, people
like to come from
all over pakistan to
visit the Sodhi
Garden, Narvari
Garden, Phulvari
Garden. Soon Valley
is blessed by two
lakes, the Ochali
lake and Khabaki
lake. In the winter
season thousands of
birds migrate from
Ciberia which
enhances the natural
beauty of Soon.
During last years
the problem of
drinking water has
grown, also the
water of lakes
falling down from
its original level.
The land of Soon is
really fertile, it
has the ability to
cultivate almost all
types of Ajnaas. The
most popular of all
is the
Gobhee(Coulieflower)
of Soon (mainly from
the small town known
as Khohrah) which is
famous all over
Pakistan.
In conclusion this
is the most
beautiful place of
Pakistan where the
Government never
invested even a
penny. Although
Nowshera has a sub
Tehsil status but
people are demanding
to give it the
status of Tehsil so
that all local
governmental
administrative
structure can be
based there. This
can become a good
vistors place and
touristic
attraction.
