Natural beauty
Toramana, although you have seen all these places with your naked eye and may be you have seen the Europe and America as well.
How do you compare the beauty of Khyberpukhtunkhwa, Afghanistan and the beauty of Europe ? What are you your views about these two, keeping the human development and govt support towards tourism in different ways financially and environmentally.

I think every place has its own beauty. Beauty of Afg+KP and Europe may be different but cannot be ranked as superior or inferior. We may prefer Afg and KP because we have been raised there and consequently have developed deep affinity with every thing there including the landscape. If we could raise above our subjectivity, we may find Europe or for that matter any other place on earth more beautiful.

True but what I see is that there are something unique to each place. In Europe if you see the weather is the main factor in maintaining the natural beauty of their regions, Continuous rainy weather keeps the climate clear and hygienic, The govt support towards towards tourism is another main factor, training people in making the environment clean and then spending huge funds on such projects annually.
At the other hand, in our areas there is no govt support and there is no public awareness towards cleaning the environment and those places clean, But what I see the unique beauty of areas and the edge that our areas have over the Europe is its mountains and rivers.
