The area's name comes from the Maori words wai (water) and tomo (hole). The Waitomo Caves is a beautiful village and solutional cave system forming a foremost tourist attraction in the northern King Country region of the North Island of New Zealand, 12 KM northwest of Te Kuiti. The cave is famous tourist attractions in New Zealand and renowned magnet for both local and overseas visitors. The Waitomo Glowworm Caves occupy a high placing in the New Zealand vacation wish-list. The caves were carved by underground streams pushing through soft limestone over thousands of years. Numerous have astonishing stalactites growing down from the ceiling and stalagmites growing up from the cave floor, pointy cones of layered rock formed over centuries by dripping water. The cave walls are also decorated with galaxies of native glow worms. Definitely! Glowworms are stunning. In 2005 we were delighted to host two separate BBC film crews at Spellbound, and they were really impressed and amazed by glowworms, one cameraman described the Spellbound Glowworm Cave as one of the top 10 natural spectacles he'd seen.

The glow worm, Arachnocampa luminosa, is unique to New Zealand. Thousands of these tiny creatures radiate their unmistakable luminescent light as our expert guides provide informative commentary on the Caves' historical and geological significance.

Sabri Waterfall or Sabri Abshar Pakistan



Sabri Waterfall is located in sub-locality, Moolia locality, Abbottabad District Khyber Pakhtunkhwa State of Pakistan Country. This is small waterfall just few kilometers away from Neleem River. This is a true nature water source, known as Sabri Waterfall or local people called as “Sabri Abshar”. Sabri Waterfall is worth while visiting place, with fresh water moving all the way down to fresh you. The cool water makes your mood fresh. 

Sabri waterfall is not famous so far, but now it is getting popularity in this region. The visitor’s numbers are increasing with every season passed. Up to some extent it is new tourism spot in Moolia Kass. It is very close to the place where Moolia Bakote Kass meet and that place too is very popular in tourists now. Just like the Neelam valley. The waterfall is not too much far from Kohala River Picnic point. I’d say it is only 20 minutes’ drive from Kohala Bridge. 

There will be rising opportunities for local inhabitants for small business and also for transporters as well, but at the same time they should not try to get any unfair advantage from these visitors by raising the prices of goods or service charges. Such type of small tourism spots are not less than a treat for natural beauty lovers & adventure seekers and it’s their responsibility to respect the culture of the area and try to keep it clean & calm. Here are some pictures of Sabri waterfall taken by me in my recent visit in August 2014. This is must see place for those people who are bored from Murree rush. Although Murree is the main tourist attractions in the hilly area of Pakistan, but this place is really unique one, where you can relish your time with your family. Source: Charismatic Planet
