Extensive research is being done in the forest nurseries to replace the juniper forest with fast growing trees as the regeneration of the juniper is very slow.
The magic of Ziarat lies in, its honey-flowers which attain a large size here, its lush green grass and cool weather even
in the hottest months of summer. 'Shinshoab' a lavendar-like wild bush,
looks lovely in twilights. There are many interesting spots to visit around
ziarat. At first, the Quaid-e-Azam residency which was built in 1882, is
a terrific place to visit which still reminds one of the times when the
founder of Pakistan, Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah spent the last days
of his life. A walk to Chashma is favourite amongst joggers and those who
wish to have a pleasent walk. Situated 6 km from Ziarat the 'Prospect Point'
offers breathtaking view of the valley.
Hundreds of hectares in and around Ziarat are utilized for apple orchards. Apple grown in the orchards, particularly
the black and red kulu variety, are simply delicious. A fair amount of
black cherry is also grown in Ziarat. The cherry season lasts from the
1st to 15th of June. Tourist season is all year round, particularly form
May to October. Ziarat remains quite cool during hot summer and receives
enough snowfall during winters. Light woolen clothing for summer and heavy
for winters, are recommended. All in all Ziarat offers a nice cool vacation
spot for travelers of all ages.
