TOURISM INAZADJAMMU &KASHMIR
Tourism has
established itself
as an importantindustry in the
world. It has proved its effectiveness in economic uplift as well as in introducing
historical and traditional heritages. Besides other benefits, Tourism is a growth
industry and grows faster than most other exports oriented industries. Tourism
industry may promote a better image of the country and thereby enable it to
achieve other objectives. Tourism can be an instrument of a process of
transferring wealth from richer parts to the poorer parts of the country and
securing a more equitable distribution of wealth.In Azad J ammu & Kashmir potential-wise, after hydro power, tourism
can be described as the other main resource.
Tourism in Azad Jammu & Kashmir:
Azad Kashmir is bestowed by nature with exquisite natural beauty and has
great potential for development of tourism. The picturesque beauty of its
valleys, dense forests, winding rivers, turbulent foaming streams, majestic
towering mountains, bracing climate, historical & cultural heritage, holistic
shrines & festivals and diversity of flora and fauna all go together to make it an
excellent tourist resort.. The area is full with variety of landscapes. Hiking and
tracking sites, trout fishing in the frozen waters of the Neelum River and the
remains of the Buddhist civilization in the Sharda Valley are other areas of
tourist attraction. The beautiful wood work, the famous Kashmiri handicrafts,

traditional Kashmiri foods and above all a clean and pristine environment
presents other areas of delight for the tourists on this heaven on earth. The
custom rich and traditional society of AJ K is also a subject of anthropological
value.
The State of Azad J ammu & Kashmir contributes a distinctive cultural entity
developed by its people, which is profoundly different from the rest of the Sub-
Continent. Its mountain terrain and wide valleys decanted harsh terms on the
development of its culture. This is why the people of Azad J ammu & Kashmir
have developed into a persistent hard-working, non aggressive race which
leads a simple & frugal life. Their dances, music, dress, traditions, jewelry,
handicrafts and performing arts all are windows to their character.
A- HELI-TOURISM:
The Heli-Tourism product is a new initiative world-wide, which is the largest
service provider, to enable tourists to travel from one destination to another
with the double benefit of cutting down on travel time while enjoying a birds
eye-view of the unique beauty of nature. For those who can pay, the joys of
chopper rides might be a lot more accessible than the vicarious pleasure of
seeing a screen. Moreover, the vertical lift technology of helicopters has far
more utilitarian aspects to its credit than only being an effective mode of
transport. Besides connecting the remotest places to the centre, helicopters
can perform SAR (Search And Rescue), EMS (Emergency Medical Services),
Law Enforcement, Power Line Survey, Fire Fighting, ENG (Eloctronic News
Gathering) missions etc.
In Azad J ammu & Kashmir, heli tourism services to popular destinations, could
tag convenience with a sense of adventure as well as pack in the utility of quick
travel. The heli service may be expensive but is likely to grow in popularity.
There are keen adventure enthusiasts would like to travel to inaccessable
mountain peaks for trekking, skiing, paragliding and bunjee jumping etc.
Besides, heli service could also be used for other official purposes as well for
SAR (Search And Rescue), EMS (Emergency Medical Services), Law
Enforcement, Power Line Survey, Fire Fighting, ENG (Eloctronic News
Gathering) missions etc. especially proven services rendered by the helicopter
during the disastrous earthquake of 2005.

The Govt. of AJ K taking all these aspects into consideration, decided in
principle to setup a heli-service for tourist operations as well as multiple
purposes. In this regard, AJ K Tourism Department intends to establish Heli-
Tourism in AJ K through PublicPrivate Partnership, which is planned for
Improvement of accessibility in AJ K and regions of potential tourist areas,
which are not connected by roads. Promoting arrivals to the destinations of
interest by creating hub & spoke operations, giving impetus to Heli-Tourism and
helicopter services to areas not serviceable by fixed wing aircraft is the main
theme of the project. In this regard, Bids/ Offers are invited from reputed
organizations for the long term Heli-Tourism operations. Specifications of the
Helicopters and terms & conditions can be obtained from office of the Director
General AJ K Tourism & Archaeology, Muzaffarabad.
B- Chairlif ts/ Cable Cars:
Chairlifts & Cable Cars are considered to be very popular mode of
recreation. Azad J ammu & Kashmir has many beautiful
places which due to their locations, altitude varying from 5000
Ft to 8500 Ft above sea level, enchanting surroundings and
aesthetic atmosphere have great potential for installation of
Chairlifts & Cable Cars etc. Installation of such devices will not
only provide linkage between adjacent tourist spots but also
create additional recreational facilities to the locals and visitors
besides enhancing the tourist potential and economic
development of the areas. Survey & Feasibility Study has been
carried out through a reputed expert Firm. The Consultant Firm
has recommended that installation of chairlift/ cable cars in
between Saran-Pirchinassi is a most feasible project with the
following submissions:

and hydrology is blessed with abundant hydropower potential. A comprehensive planning
of the hydropower resources of the State has been carried out by WAPDA in
collaboration with international agencies for carrying out the comprehensive planning
of available hydropower resources with the following objectives:- To assess the total hydropower potential of the rivers/streams available
to meet the national power demand and the local demand in isolated
system.
To rank the identified projects for development in order of priority both for
national and local power needs.
The study area comprised of a part of Jhelum river basin, upstream of Mangla
reservoir, which lies within the territory of Azad Jammu & Kashmir The study conducted
preliminary investigations, identified potential sites and gave recommendations for further
detailed studies on sites ranked to be most viable.
As a result of these investigations a number of sites have been identified, that
offers attractive prospects. According to preliminary estimates, potential of about 7000
MW has been identified in the three major river catchments and their tributaries in
Azad Jammu & Kashmir. Important features of these project sites are:

INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY IN AJK
MINERAL SECTOR
Azad Kashmir Mineral & Industrial Development Corporation (AKMIDC), a state
enterprise of the Govt of AJ&K, was established in 1971 under Act XVII. TheCorporation soon after its creation started mineral exploration & evaluation activities in
the state which are continued till now. The geological environment of AJK is
comprised of three types of rocks, i.e. Sedimentary, Igneous and Metamorphic. The
type of mineral deposits found are; Industrial Minerals, Gemstones, precious Metals
and Base Metals. The Industrial minerals and base metals are found in all the three rock
type and thus spread in the whole of the AJK territory, whereas gemstones are confined
to metamorphic terrain and thus occur in the upper parts of Neelum Valley. The most
economically promising mineral deposits are ruby, graphite, bentonite, granites &
cement materials and AKMIDC prepared comprehensive studies of these deposits. The
worth of proven mineral deposits is more than Rs. 70 million.
