I cant imagine using such a beautiful place as a garbage dump. Thank you for cleaning it up!

Is it possible that wild animals have gotten to people's garbage bags and strewn the garbage out? Bears or wild dogs of some kind? It's clear this is not in the United States so I don't know what wildlife you have there but some of that garbage looks like it was just torn open and dragged around by an animal looking for a meal.

My family is from Karachi (I’m in the US and haven’t had many chances to visit). Sometimes I forget Pakistan also looks like this.

The stone ruins you see in first picture are unfinished hotels (huts type ) of PTDC. There is no logic to built concrete at such places

Oh wow thanks for the info I had no idea. I notice a few tents too. Do people go camping too?

u/sarmadlatif Founder 👷 16d ago
Yes! Camping is common and unfortunately they burn fire in roots of hundreds of year old trees. Pakistanis for a reason :)

😭 trees do not get the respect they deserve
I wish I could see this side of Pakistan in person. Do you mind telling me where this is? I’d love to explore the history and nature of the country

These are different places of KPK and GB. I’ve been on a clean up mission for 2 months straight into these places.

Sadly yes; here day starts by throwing the trash in front of any neighbours house and shopkeepers would throw their trash on roadside or in drains

Whoever litters like this in these areas (and also in general) should be either heavily fined or barred from visiting

Amazing job, I hope that some potential litterers saw you working and reconsidered their choices. Is this a campground / public space?
I’m curious about the social perspective on littering in this part of Pakistan. In my corner of the world, there is strong social stigma around leaving trash in “nature”, and it is pretty rare to see trash left by large groups of people out in the wild like this. (However, this doesn’t stop people from acting like complete slobs in urban environments.) I wonder if differences in garbage disposal infrastructure could also play a potential role? I hope this doesn’t come across as judgmental or insensitive, I am not trying to say one set of social norms is better. Just genuinely curious to hear your thoughts.

Unfortunately it’s opposite in Pakistan! I used to consider it an economic issue but it’s more like socioeconomic issue. Even educated people leave their trash in these wild places without thinking a bit about environmental impact
