Gilgit
Although centuries have gone by since Buddhists have vanished from Gilgit-Baltistan, their glorious past and vestiges continue to radiate in the mountains, attracting foreign and domestic tourists alike.
This week, a group of South Korean monks undertook a thorough visit of Gigit and Hunza to see for themselves the archeological site in Kargah valley where the great Gautama Buddha has been immortalized in a vast triangle stone.
The Korean Buddhists led by Yogi Order visited the Kargah area, a few miles from Gilgit city, to see the stone-carved 8th-century relic of the Gautama Buddha, who still continues to watch over the serene valley. The Buddhist monks performed religious rituals beneath the relic resting at the edge of a high mountain facing the Gilgit city.
Thought with the arrival of Islam, Gautama Buddha’s followers vanished from the area, they have left behind a treasure trove of immortalized sites in the shape of engraved and carved rocks.
Renowned historian and scholar Sherbaz Barcha briefed the visiting guests about the historical significance of the Buddha relic in Kargah valley. Commissioner Usman Ahmed, who received the visiting guests at the Kargah site, while talking to Burzil Times said that the visit will not only pave the way for other tourists to undertake a visit of historical sites of Gilgit-Baltistan but also help bolster the mutual relations of Pakistan and South Korea.
Talking to media, Yogi Order said that it was a memorable moment in their life and they were extremely delighted to have seen the relics and remnants of their ancestors who used to inhabit the inhospitable region until the 8th century. He said that it was equally memorable for them that they performed their religious rituals near the engraved Buddha site in Kargah.
He said that the monks were touched by the hospitality of the people and government of Gilgit-Baltistan. Yogi Order said that Pakistan is a peaceful country and they did not feel an iota of insecurity during their visit to Gilgit-Baltistan.
The South Korean delegation said that there was a vast potential for religious tourism in Pakistan especially in GB and their visit will pave the way for other foreigners to visit the area.
The delegation also visited the Kasmiri bazaar, Pull Road and other famous areas in Gilgit and Hunza and took keen interest in locally manufactured articles including the traditional local caps.
