Mountains located in the northern part of Pakistan remain snow-capped throughout the year. Due to extreme cold weather in the months from November to February the bustle of life gives way to a frigid inactivity. In extremely cold areas people leave their homes and migrate to lowlands along with their cattle and essential household belongings. As the spring sets in the bustle of ife starts showing up again, people return to their homes and tourists from all over the country, as well as from abroad make way to these areas in great numbers. Most of the hill resorts in the provinces of Punjab and the NWFP (North West Frontier Province) are six to eight thousand feet high; they have scenic beauty and extremely pleasant weather conditions.
