Marsur Rock Hussainabad Skardu
The region of Baltistan is a God gifted complete package of natural beauties comprising of high sky-touching mountains, rivers, streams, deserts, pastures, lakes, resorts, viewpoints, etc. A few years back a few more additional amazing tourist spots were discovered which were unknown to people before that like Hussainabad waterfalls, Marsur rock in Hussainabad, and khaamush waterfalls in Kharmang. these discoveries became possible just because of the advent of fast social media platforms and technologies as local people of these places were known to these places from years but there was no source to convey the beauty of these places to the world, but when the people here became expert in social media usage they did their best, to let the world know about each and every eye-catching and amazing place of the region. The same happened a few years ago when some local youth shared pictures of Hussainabad waterfalls and Marsur rock on Facebook, Instagram and etc, so what happened ..? these pictures went viral not only in Pakistan but also in the whole world; especially “The Amazing Marsur Rock” got unbelievable fame and attention because of its resemblance with “Trolltunga rock/viewpoint” in Norway.
