The term over tourism comes to prominence as one of the highly discussed problems regarding tourism by mainstream media and different environmental organizations. The main objective of the article is to discuss the negative impacts of over-tourism on the environment as well as on the socio-cultural heritage of the regions of Gilgit Baltistan. The emergence of mass tourism in a single season affects many aspects of this region ranging from basic commodities to the social and cultural life of the locals..
