According to the Gilgit-Baltistan government, the cricket match is being played today in the highest natural stadium in the world.
The administration of the cricket match says that a two-day cricket fair will be held today at the Pisan Cricket Stadium, located at the foot of the 12th highest peak of Pakistan, in which the teams of District Nagar, Diamer and Hunza of Gilgit-Baltistan will compete.
Pisan Cricket Stadium is located at an altitude of 8,400 feet above sea level at the foothills of Rakaposhi Chori in District Nagar.
According to the Department of Tourism, Gilgit-Baltistan: ‘Pisan Cricket Stadium is the highest natural cricket stadium in the world which was opened for cricket matches last year.’
Last year too, a cricket tournament was held in the same stadium, which was visited by domestic and foreign fans, and according to the tourism department, a large number of fans have come to watch the cricket festival.
How was this cricket stadium first discovered?
It is written about the same cricket stadium on the website of the tourism department of Gilgit-Balistan that for the first time a photo of the place was posted on social media by a local journalist, which was liked by the users.
According to the tourism department, this stadium is a very suitable place to play cricket in summer as the temperature here does not go above 20 degrees Celsius.
According to the Department of Tourism, the stadium is located at the foothills of Rakaposhi and Deran Peak and is about an hour’s walk from Pisan Central Market.
According to the tourism department, the purpose of organizing the cricket fair in this stadium is to show the cricket talent here to the world and also to show the beauty of this place to the world.
The government of Gilgit-Baltistan is declaring this stadium as the tallest natural stadium in the world, meaning it is naturally built in the style of a stadium.
On the other hand, the world’s highest cricket stadium (not natural) according to the website called ‘Tour My India’ is the Cheil Cricket Stadium in the state of Himachal Pradesh, India, which is located at an altitude of 7,500 feet above sea level.
According to the same website, Chell Cricket Stadium was built in 1893 and was also used as a polo ground.
