Small shops, and chai centers are there in GB. Gilgit bazar is one of the oldest and quite a place. You will meat all sorts of people there too.

Will do. EBook, are you kidding me, i do have the book in Google docs but i am trying to get a hard copy. I hate reading online.

I doubt locals would like coffee shops or malls, it would destroy centuries of equilibrium among man and nature. Plus visiting GB is all about harmony with nature.

nahi honestly im not sayingdestroy the natural look..but places of excursion and modern facilities like u wud enjoy in lahore or islamabad...andkarachi...they would do no harm. like if starbucks setup a shop in gb or ajk ..and similarly some malls , which doesnt mean it will effect the regional harmony or cut down greenery, it will only enhance ones experience of living their and also of the visitors. i wud want that.
dont go full urbanization but add more excursion ,entertainment hanging out facilities...and dont go overboard with that so that it kills natural outlook of the region.

like for instance look at switzerland ..lot of natural scenery but developed..with malls and entertainment spots.

There are new resort being made in GB. Serene hotels is doing quite well in GB, Hunza, Skardu.... Many other top hotels in Hunza and Gilgit. Antique shops are quite an attraction in GB too. I am all for Cinemas and etc, etc...

Nah trust me, modern fancy out of place stuff will piss off the locals. People of GB, Hunza particularly have a strong cultural heritage. But if local culture can be amplified like tea and fruits and handicrafts then bazaars should be set up, but those shiny malls are too much out of place.

I'm sure they do, but trust me if you want to set up malls, set up bazaars or shape malls to look like forts, you know that grand style, I don't want something like Gold Mark Mall (eye sore) popping up in Hunza. Plus your friends are a younger generation, what about the elders and chiefs?. They want to boost their own culture.

I would personally want a such mall in Gilgit City, not in Hunza though. Small shops are so good in Hunza, then again you have never been to Karimabad in Hunza.

afterall as waksal said there are resorts and hotels ...so similarly two three malls wudnt do harm.then younger gen of gb bhi tau hai na?

5 star, are quite fair priced too. Then again i don't need to stay at Sarena...lol.

A resort is something else, if a mall has to be made, blend it in. I didn't say don't make malls, I said make them so they don't ruin the equilibrium.

But personally, it ruins the very idea of GB, it was never meant to be a shopping hub, it was a place for tourism and relaxation. Just search Gold Mark, I went there once and it was so frustrating that I nearly passed out @WAJsal you know about it don't you?

Local shops are doing fine. Small malls will be good for people in Gilgit City, and a Cinema and etc, etc facilities will also help.

In Gilgit, nop, do tell us about your experience.

In Karachi man, my Nanun took me there, it's a typical I'll - maintained mall, so many people and people shouting everywhere and all that, it was nauseating. And the heat was over whelming.
