If I was a local administrator, I would allocate $1-million for the residents in that area, roughly $20-30k each family to renovate their houses. Additionally, I would improve the streets, install adequate lightings. Just these two investments will increase tourism many fold. The natural wonder is there, just needs a decent beautification campaign and the local administration will recoup the initial investment many folds.

The streets and houses in Karimabad are pretty well kept. Those houses behind the fort also have free public wifi, if I remember correctly. Special emphasis is also given to traditional ways of construction, streets are left cobbled wherever possible, so on and so forth. The Agha Khan foundation has also done great work through out the north.

owari Pass is a high mountain pass at an elevation of 3.118 m (10,230 ft) above the sea level, located in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. The road over the pass, called N45, is one of the famous hair pinned roads in the world.

The road over the pass links Dir and Chitral, and winds its way through the tribal regions bordering Afghanistan. The road is known among locals as Hell's Road. It was built by the British and is a road where even the slightest error can be fatal. The pass is closed by snow from late November to late May every year. The road is winding, in some places only wide enough for one vehicle, and in many places bordered by a drop of hundreds of meters (many hundreds of feet) unprotected by guardrails.

Words can’t describe the road and pictures don’t do it justice. It’s a narrow road with plenty of hairpin bends all through the way. It’s an extreme road with many close turns on the road. The road wins up the cliffs of over 10,000 feet. There are plenty of dirt switchbacks.
