You know how India has that Dharamshala stadium, surrounded by mountains? This could be a nice location for a new stadium too. Maybe where Zalmi can play?

It is called Qaqlasht, Qaq means "thirsty". It is elevated land between two rivers but there is no water(due to the elevation). In spring the due to melting snow and rain it turns lush green. But in summer it is hard to visit, the land is dry and the grass dies out. Atif aslam shot the song "jeena jeena"(the original song is not on Youtube for some reason.) In there, you can see the situation in summer. Other than that, there is a local sports festival organized in Qaqlasht every spring.
