Overview

<a href="https://merisehat.pk/article/the-10-books-to-curl-up-to-in-this-winter">Winter</a> sports and adventure sports events have been happening for some time now, but it was from the beginning of this year that word really started spreading about all the activities that are actually happening in Pakistan.

The season started with a range of skiing and snowboarding competitions held at Malam Jabba and Naltar &ndash; the two main ski resorts of the country.

For Pakistan, things are gradually building up for winter sports. Previously there was only one destination, Naltar, where some activities took place. Now, there are many locations that have started such events and many places that are being explored.

Malam Jabba&#39;s comparatively close proximity to the capital and its geographical features make it ideal for winter sports events, which is why many training programs have kicked off there.

There are also areas such as Madak Lusht and many more in the works that have also started conducting events. Compared to last year, the amount of tourists that visited this time was double.

There are 8-10 winter sports clubs in Gilgit-Baltistan that allow for people to get plenty of opportunities to partake in winter sports activities. One can confidently say there&rsquo;s a lot more to look forward to.

With the introduction of new sports such as ice hockey, curling, figure skating and winter action adventure sports people now have more options. Furthermore, it is becoming easier for people to enjoy these sports with much less expenditure, since all one needs is to rent shoes and they can enjoy the whole day.

In winters, with lakes freezing over, outdoor ice rinks are affordable to make because of the temperature. However, the plan is to make such things accessible all year round.

Pakistan has some of the biggest glaciers outside the polar region and some of the highest mountains but there were no activities in these areas especially the Northern Pakistan as far as the winter season is concerned.

Initially the aim was to popularize winter tourism, through creating winter sports events in these areas. Now that it has been kicked off, there&rsquo;s no stopping it. In fact, now, Shahid Nadeem even has plans for the summers.

Conclusion

In winters, with lakes freezing over, outdoor ice rinks are affordable to make because of the temperature. However, the plan is to make such things accessible all year round.

&ldquo;We&#39;re working on indoor ice rinks - like the ones we have in cities - where we can hold different series of ice sports competitions during the summertime,&rdquo; said Nadeem. &ldquo;Our purpose is to facilitate the region and build the capacity for various events, which is eventually going to lead to an increase of tourism in these areas.&rdquo; These efforts to make winter sports accessible all year round and increasing the events will lead to an increase in tourism.
