ISLAMABAD: Investors should forget India and instead profit from the 'quiet rise' of Pakistan along with Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, Barron's Asia said.
"Forget India. Investors looking for the next big thing should look to its South Asia neighbours instead — Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka," America's financial magazine in an article said.
According to the article, the three countries with a combined 390 million people represent what Morgan Stanley chief global strategist Ruchir Sharma calls "the quiet rise of South Asia" as opposed to India which has been "flattered by spasms of hype for years".
While overshadowed by their larger neighbour, the trio is enjoying fast-paced growth, embracing much needed reforms, and look set to enjoy a demographic dividend over the long term. "A substantially higher economic growth rate than in many other economies globally, coupled with fantastic demographics that will continue supporting growth for many years ahead," East Capital fund manager Adrian Pop tells Barron's Asia.
The article mentions that Pakistan is the flag-bearer of the positive changes taking place in the South Asian nations. Since coming to power five years ago, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has got inflation under control, cut the budget deficit and reined in the current account deficit. But more importantly, terrorism finally appears to be on the backfoot given more assertive action by the army. Chinese investment has also poured in: $50 billion will be spent on new roads, transport links and energy projects.
"More power capacity is key for Pakistan to move to an even higher economic growth rate," says Pop. That will benefit stocks in materials and energy.In December, the Pakistan Stock Exchange sold 40 percent of itself to a consortium of Chinese investors.
The Karachi stock index is up by about 50 percent since the start of last year, propelled by index compiler MSCI's decision to bump up the country to emerging markets status. That will bring in hundreds of millions of dollars from passive funds into the Pakistani benchmark. The rally in stocks has arguably left the market looking a little pricey as the KSE 100 index trades at over 12 times earnings, its heftiest valuation since late 2009. That's still about a 15 percent discount to the MSCI emerging markets index, however, plus Pakistani stocks yield an attractive 4 percent-plus dividend.
Bangladesh benefits from a growing working age population and rising labour costs elsewhere in Asia. Garment manufacturing for Western clothing companies has increasingly moved from China to places like Bangladesh, where wages are lower.
The article said in August it tipped downstream firm Pakistan State Oil (PSO.PK), which has since risen 10 percent. It's worth hanging onto that stock, but we'd add upstream exploration player Oil & Gas Development (OGDC) to the mix too.
Shares in the Islamabad-based company have powered up 45 percent in the last year, and could rise by a further 30 percent.Oil & Gas Development will benefit from any further recovery in oil prices, which have roughly doubled since hitting their nadir last February.
Earnings per share should rise by 17 percent in full-year 2017 and 20 percent in full-year 2018. Oil & Gas Development trades at eight times forward earnings, which is toward the higher end of its historical valuation. That multiple is more compelling than exploration peer Pakistan Petroleum (PPL), however, which trades at 10 times next 12 months' earnings.
About Lahore's DG Khan Cement (DGKC), which is one of the country's largest cement producers, with a capacity of more than four million tons a year. The stock also makes a good foundation for a Pakistan portfolio.
At the end of December, the countries jointly announced a $14 billion dam project close to DG Khan's HQ in northern Pakistan. The dam will need about a million tons of cement.
Shares in the company have returned a solid 50 percent over the last year. DG Khan's valuations looks a bit less stretched than that of rival Lucky Cement (LUCKY), which investors were told to pour into their portfolio over summer.
DG Khan trades at 10 times forward earnings, compared to Lucky's 16 times. Its dividend yield of 2.6% is also bigger than its rival. Brokers think DG Khan can rise by as much as 25 percent.
Lowest market P/E in the region with the highest return.
Macroeconomic stability.
Upgradation of Moody's rating of the country.
Pakistan is the 26th largest economy according to PPP (Purchasing Power Parity), and the sixth largest populous country in the world with a burgeoning middle class, having 54% of the population below the age of 24 years. In news, Pakistan has been presented as the turbulent nation embroiled in militancy and political violence. However, the landscape of the country has been changing since the past two years, with an improving macroeconomic situation, steady political outlook and substantial improvement in law and order, and the upgradation of its bond ratings from Caa1 to B3, a stable outlook.
On 9th June 2015, the MSCI stated about a potential reclassification of the MSCI Pakistan Index into Emerging Markets from the current classification of Frontier Markets in its 2016 Annual Market Classification review. This categorization would trigger a large flow of emerging market funds to return to Pakistan as the MSCI Emerging Market Index is tracked by global funds worth $1.7 trillion, according to Bloomberg.
Further, in one of the lectures at the Aga Khan University, the Chief Investment Strategist of Morgan Stanley said that Pakistan's rise is just a matter of time. This was due to the favorable demographics and the lower P/E of the stocks – performing better in terms of return – when compared to the markets of the developed world.
The KSE 100 Index, which tracks the top 100 companies out of the 557 listed on the stock exchange had a five-year US dollar CAGR of 25% (highest among its peers) and net profit margins 60% above the five-year average of the peer group whose margins are 10.2% lower than its five-year average. The Bourse has an average ROE of 19.2% against the peer average of 10.2%.
Pakistani stocks are cheaper when compared to their regional peers. Consider the following graph for further details:
As the above graph illustrates, Pakistani stocks have a lower P/E, P/B and higher dividend yield relative to its peers.

Are we wrong about Pakistan? – Telegraph
When Peter Oborne first arrived in Pakistan, he expected a 'savage' back water scarred by terrorism. Years later, he describes the Pakistan that is barely documented…
It was my first evening in Pakistan. My hosts, a Lahore banker and his charming wife, wanted to show me the sights, so they took me to a restaurant on the roof of a town house in the Old City. My food was delicious, the conversation sparky – and from our vantage point we enjoyed a perfect view of the Badshahi Mosque, which was commissioned by the emperor Aurangzeb in 1671.
It was my first inkling of a problem. I had been dispatched to write a report reflecting the common perception that Pakistan is one of the most backward and savage countries in the world. This attitude has been hard-wired into Western reporting for years and is best summed up by the writing of the iconic journalist Christopher Hitchens. Shortly before he died last December, Hitchens wrote a piece in Vanity Fair that bordered on racism.
Pakistan, he said, was "humourless, paranoid, insecure, eager to take offence and suffering from self-righteousness, self-pity and self-hatred". In summary, asserted Hitchens, Pakistan was one of the "vilest and most dangerous regions on Earth".
Since my first night in that Lahore restaurant I have travelled through most of Pakistan, got to know its cities, its remote rural regions and even parts of the lawless north. Of course there is some truth in Hitchens's brash assertions. Since 2006 alone, more than 14,000 Pakistani civilians have been killed in terrorist attacks. The Pakistan political elite is corrupt, self-serving, hypocritical and cowardly – as Pakistanis themselves are well aware. And a cruel intolerance is entering public discourse, as the appalling murder last year of minorities minister Shahbaz Bhatti after he spoke out for Christians so graphically proves. Parts of the country have become impassable except at risk of kidnap or attack.
Yet the reality is far more complex. Indeed, the Pakistan that is barely documented in the West – and that I have come to know and love – is a wonderful, warm and fabulously hospitable country. And every writer who (unlike Hitchens), has ventured out of the prism of received opinion and the suffocating five-star hotels, has ended up celebrating rather than denigrating Pakistan.
A paradox is at work. Pakistan regularly experiences unspeakable tragedy. The most recent suicide bombing, in a busy market in northwestern Pakistan, claimed 32 lives and came only a month after another bomb blast killed at least 35 people in the Khyber tribal district on January 10. But suffering can also release something inside the human spirit. During my extensive travels through this country, I have met people of truly amazing moral stature.

Louis Armstrong once said, "If you have to ask what Jazz is, then you will never know." Sachal Studios was born to produce the music of melody, acoustic harmony and rhythms that rock the heart.
Composer and businessman Izzat Majeed is uncompromising, and feels at home in the studio. He has very few words to say, but his search for melody and creating a creative work place, allows one to delve into unimaginable possibilities of music and art. The ensemble, which includes several veteran musicians, primarily from the 'old film industry', have pointed out that there has never been a platform for jazz such as this one in Pakistan. In fact, the orchestras which had been connected to the studios, whether EMI or leading film composers such as Robin Ghosh and others, never provided these musicians the opportunity to perform live. The band that debuted at the prestigious Queen Elizabeth Hall, London in 2012, is now becoming a staple for some of the biggest jazz festivals across the globe; recently they performed at the Lincoln Center, alongside Wynton Marsalis and the JALC Orchestra.
"Take Five was something that became global and after the albums we were invited to some of the pre-eminent festivals in jazz," says Majeed. "So our year is full, and I think the important thing is that it keeps our great musicians very happy and innovative. They get to learn a lot, meanwhile we get to continue what we enjoy doing."
This weekend they prepared for one of the few local concerts that they have performed at; Al-Hamra Arts Complex saw their performance as part of the Lahore Literary Festival. Majeed ensures that the band does not compromise on the sound and venue. The live performance rehearsals are intense and when the team gets together, it is pure magic.
A major component of the studio, composer and arranger Riaz Hussain passed away and has been succeeded by his son Najaf Ali, who leads the performances as a conductor and maintains a sense of energy amongst the ageing veterans.
"I think right now wherever Jazz is being heard, Sachal Jazz ensemble is there. We have been really successful. I mean, Jazz at Lincoln Center is considered a mecca for this music and we had the opportunity to perform with one of the top musicians in the Jazz world. We plan on moving forward, you will have to watch out for us," says Ali.
The Jazz ensemble is an extension of the studio's other folk and classical projects, but the success and exclusivity is something that has given many of the musicians an honour they have not experienced before. Ali explains that the studio's Take Five track provided it with a sort of accessibility and credibility. Its albums and performances have been readily talked about through the jazz world.
Ustad Ijaz Hussain, or Baloo Khan as he is known by, is their well-known tabla player. He says the success of the jazz ensemble has been connected to the fact that they have not compromised on their preparation and the musicians involved were the best in Pakistan at the peak of their abilities. This is about the drive to get them together and create something exciting. "Wynton Marsalis said we have a magical house, because we are doing what we have learnt over the years. It's not about jazz, it's about what we have learnt," says Hussain. While the documentaries about the studio show these musicians struggling to make ends meet, Hussain points out that during his first concert in the 70s, Noor Jehan was his announcer and he had worked relentlessly with the likes of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan since then. "We have been waiting for the time to perform and teach, because that's the duty of an ustad. He should play in such a way that the world enjoys, but also learns about the music at the same time," Hussain concluded.
With these live performances, the musicians are back to what they do best – bringing down a house.

Mike Daniels, Founder
I have 25 years of experience in qualitative research, brand and advertising strategy.
Prior to starting The Behavioural Architects in Australia, I was Managing Director of Ogilvy & Mather Sydney, and was head of strategy at several Australian advertising agencies including Clemenger BBDO and DDB, as well as Global Planning Director for HP at Goodby in San Francisco.
I've worked on brand and advertising strategies for many Australian and global clients across many categories.
With a degree in Psychology, I conducted post-graduate research in Family Therapy before beginning my career as a qualitative researcher and strategist. My belief is that the better we define business, brand and behavioural problems, the faster and more effective the solutions we create. The concepts and vocabulary now being developed by the Behavioural Sciences provide us with the opportunity to be ever more penetrating in our depth of insight and diagnosis of issues and opportunities.
With a deeper understanding of the underlying causes of behaviour can come far more effective thinking about how to influence it, which is increasingly vital as organisations everywhere are looking to find new and more effective ways to create behavioural change.
Melissa Gill, Director / Head of Behavioural Strategy
My extensive experience in communications has been developed over 15 years in the advertising industry.
My career in business management provided fascinating insight into many business sectors; FMCG, alcohol, retail, airlines, fashion, government and pharmaceuticals.
My interest in behaviour, strategy and research has led to my current field of study, a Bachelor of Behavioural Studies, Psychology.
Since joining The Behavioural Architects in January 2013, I have been fortunate enough to work with some fabulous clients on hundreds of different behavioural change challenges. In every instance I have seen evidence of new insight for behaviour change surfaced due to the behavioural sciences' unique way of categorizing behaviour.
Tom Cameron, Behavioural Strategy Consultant
I joined The Behavioural Architects in 2014, having completed a double degree in Commerce and Science from Monash University. There I majored in marketing and psychology, where I realised and began to develop my interest in qualitative research.
I recently undertook an internship at The Lab Strategy, where I worked on a range of business categories, including FMCG, Public sector, Financial Services and Health and wellbeing.
I am fascinated by how the behavioural sciences can help us understand consumer behaviour. I believe that through uncovering fundamental drivers of behaviour and connecting patterns of behaviour, businesses can acquire an innovative outlook on their goals and bring about progressive strategic change.
Emma Burn, Senior Behavioural Strategy Consultant
I joined The Behavioural Architects Sydney in 2015. I have built up nearly 20 years of experience working in advertising agencies within the disciplines of both account management and strategic planning. I began my career in London at McCann-Erickson, and then moved to Sydney in 2001, working for Leo Burnett, DDB and most recently Clemenger BBDO, where I was a senior strategic planner.
During my advertising career I've worked with many major clients and categories, spanning FMCG, financial services, consumer healthcare and technology with brands such as Kellogg's, Nestle, Wrigley's, Campbell's, J&J, Pfizer, MLC and GE.
My interest in behavioural science is fuelled by a desire to fully understand the people we engage with in the course of consumer research and to then use the insights generated to create an effective solution. I believe that Behavioural Economics provides a strong and robust framework for both generating and honing those insights and changing behaviour.
Esther van Oppen, Office Manager
I joined The Behavioural Architects in Sydney in 2015 as our Office Manager. I have many years of experience in project management in the Marketing & Corporate Communications field, first at Volvo Cars and later at Vodafone. I also lived in Shanghai with my family for a number of years before settling in Australia. I graduated with a Bachelors degree in Communications in my country of birth, The Netherlands.
In working, living and travelling on three different continents, I've developed a keen eye and interest in understanding and making sense of people's behaviour – subtle cultural differences, irrationalities and norms and how behaviour is influenced by experience, culture and context. Combining this interest in behaviour and being a natural organiser benefits me in my role to support the team here in all organisational matters.
Alice Hsieh, Behavioural Strategy Executive
I joined The Behavioural Architects, Sydney in March 2016, with a desire to make a genuine difference to individuals and organisations. Prior to joining The Behavioural Architects, I worked at one of Australia's leading providers of integrated human resource services, providing expertise in the areas of talent management and organisational development to a range of business sectors including finance, retail, energy, and government. I hold an Honours degree in Psychology, and recently completed a Doctor of Organisational Psychology at Macquarie University.
The field of Behavioural Economics illustrates just how fascinating human behaviour is. I believe that behavioural science has tremendous potential in helping to solve some of today's most challenging problems and I am excited by the opportunity to partner with clients to apply behavioural insights to influence behaviour.
James Taylor, Behavioural Strategy Consultant
I joined The Behavioural Architects in 2016, after building up a decade of experience working in market research, financial services and consulting. Prior to joining The Behavioural Architects, I was a Senior Consultant at CoreData, a Sydney-based market research agency, specialising in Financial Services. I have also worked in asset management in Sydney and London-based funds of hedge funds, and began my career working as a graduate in an international consultancy based in the United Arab Emirates.
I have a degree in International Relations and History from Sydney University, and a Graduate Diploma of Economics from London University.
My interest in the behavioural sciences, and in particular Behavioural Economics is driven by a desire to understand the world as it actually is. In order to help organisations and individuals avoid repeating the same mistakes, I believe we need to firstly understand people behaviours, and the underlying drivers behind these.

text: Stuart Colorado Daily – April April 1st Texas still struggling to find a starting quarterback Perhaps the Longhorns miss Connor Wood more than they thought they would … It has not been the best of times in Austin. The last two seasons, Texas has posted records of 5-7 (2-6 in the Big 12) and 8-5 (4-5 in the Big 12, including a 55-17 loss to Oklahoma). The Longhorns enter the 2012 season with*two year losing streaks to Oklahoma State, Oklahoma*and Baylor (Baylor! Imagine how well that is sitting with the UT faithful!). Much of the concern over the 13-12 overall record over the past two seasons has had to do with poor play at the quarterback position. Texas has just concluded its practices for the spring, with no resolution as to who will be quarterback this fall. According to ESPN, sophomore quarterback David Ash says he feels like the leader of the Texas offense. Coach Mack Brown, however, still refuses to publicly declare a starter and says he's confident that either Ash or junior Case McCoy could lead the Longhorns next season. If Sunday's spring scrimmage showed anything, it's that Ash has earned the right to call himself the starter, but McCoy still could challenge for the job if he can eliminate costly turnovers. Ash threw only six passes – one for a touchdown – and directed three early scoring drives. He was 5 of 6 for 31 yards. McCoy was 9 of 15 for 139 yards with a touchdown, but also threw two interceptions in the end zone as Texas wrapped up spring drills. "I thought I made pretty good decisions," Ash said. "I've been trying to understand defenses better. … I've been trying to improve the mental side of my game a lot." When asked if he thought the offense was his to run, Ash replied, "Yes sir." The quarterback battle – or struggle, depending on the week – has been a yearlong theme for a Texas team trying to rebuild into a Big 12 title contender. Both Ash and McCoy struggled last season when Texas went 8-5 and finished with a losing record in the Big 12 for the second year in a row. McCoy, the younger brother of former Texas quarterback Colt McCoy, went 3-2 as a starter last season and rallied Texas to a last-second win over rival Texas A&M in the final game in that century-old rivalry. But the week after that game, he committed five turnovers in a loss at Baylor. Ash was 3-3 as a starter and appeared to have taken over the role when he played the entire game in the Holiday Bowl win over California. Ash was the most valuable player of the game after passing for one touchdown, catching another and not committing any turnovers. Colorado sophomore quarterback Connor Wood, the odd-man out in the Texas quarterback battle last off-season, must be feeling preety good this spring about his decision to transfer … March 29th Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott calls the conference "undervalued" A $3 billion television contract? Peanuts. A network, wholly owned by the conference, which may bring even more revenue to the league than the television network? Just getting warmed up. In an article in Broadcastingcable.com, Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott indicated that the best may be yet to come. Speaking at the American Association of Advertising Agencies meeting in Los Angeles Thursday, Scott said "revenue from television is still a fraction of what it should be." Ratings of big college football games are comparable to Monday Night Football NFL telecasts on ESPN, but rights fees are a lot less, he says, blaming a landscape with 31 division one conferences and a structure in which rights reside with the NCAA, with conferences and with individual schools for fragmenting the market. The Pac-12 Network, coming in August, will have seven feeds. One will be national; the others will be localized, with Pac-12 networks in L.A., the Bay Area, Oregon, Washington, Arizona and Mountain. That should create opportunities for marketers. "With seven different feeds, we'll be able to maximize audience from an advertiser perspective. It allows us to be very flexible and efficient in terms of a national platform," Scott said. You can be a regional advertiser or a local advertiser. If you are company that just has business in the L.A. area, you can buy on the Pac-12 L.A. network. The conference has also rolled up the digital rights to all the member school's websites, creating a one-stop-shopping opportunity. "This is what pro sports do. We're applying it for the first time to the college space." The network will launch in August after the Olympics and will air seven football games when the season starts Labor Day weekend.

This is the best facial mask there is, so thanks iHerb for carrying this product!!! I've been using this for years and don't need to use any other facial treatments 'cos this keeps my skin so clean and in good condition. One jar will last months if used just on the face, but in this price and with these postages I recommend to order a couple at least, just to be on the safe side ;)
This one is a keeper!

I have been taking these for a bit over a week and all I can say is wow! My face has cleansed big time and it's literally glowing. Also the pimples and blackheads on my back have been dimished significantly. If you have any problems with your skin, you should order burdock root!
Try this- you won't be disappointed

This really soothes and heals the skin. Instantly soothes and hydrates the skin on my face and hands, which are really dry sometimes. Does not clog the pores and can be worn under makeup just great. Pimples and impurities have decreased significantly since using this. Highly recommended!!!

Give it a week or so, and you'll see a difference. Moisturizes skin from the inside, and plumps your face.

I've been taking these for about a week now occasionally, and my nose is so runny all the time.. It's because my body pulls out the toxins, which is good. I have been noticing also that my energy levels are way up than normally. Worth trying.

The views expressed in The Terminal Generation are the result of a comparison of what God taught on this subject through the Old Testament prophets with what Jesus taught on this important subject while He was on the earth, and/or what He taught through the apostles from heaven after His ascension. May this book motivate you to be diligent in searching the Scriptures and inquiring inside the temple for the revelation of God concerning His view on eschatology. Remember, all Scripture is profitable for all God's people. May we all be encouraged to study to show ourselves approved unto God, as workmen who do not need to be ashamed. Ashamed of what? Of being ashamed of not knowing what was important enough to God to include in our Bibles that we so dearly love and respect.

Documentary on Climate Change in Kivalina and Newtok Will Premiere This Weekend
The 30-minute TV program, "When the Water Took the Land," will premiere this Sunday and then air again on Tuesday.

Board members Brennan and Davis will not seek re-election. Nancy Mendenhall and John Tidwell will compete for Brennan's spot, while Keith Conger runs unopposed for Davis'.
Over 700 students are enrolled in the district, but eight left Nome Schools over the summer to attend Mount Edgecumbe.
Our listeners have become slightly more fluent in the Alaska Native language of Iñupiaq through a new series of fun, conversation-focused radio spots.
This month's Story49 features educator and dancer Mary Huntington. "All the things that I do in classrooms and schools… trying to incorporate culture and language, probably wouldn't have taken place if I didn't start out with Eskimo dance," she says.
Thanks to you, our listeners — and readers of KNOM's online news — have received a wide slate of fascinating (and, at times, very urgent) news…
With Alaska's primary in August, city elections throughout the state in October, and the general election in November, there have been ample occasions for our listeners…
Lawmakers spoke to the work behind the bill, but assembled speakers, teachers, and students of many Alaska Native languages spoke to the vitality of what the recognition means.
"What is this year going to mean?" volunteer Jenn asks. "Who are we going to be next year when the days start to grow longer again, when the icy, liquid-metal sea melts back to blue?"
Teacher Marjorie Tahbone and students Tehya and Katherine give us a glimpse into their course—and it's about a lot more than language.
Whether it's daily news stories or posts from our volunteers on life in the sub-Arctic, our online content is made possible through the support of people like you.
KNOM is supported almost entirely through private giving.

With clearly defined business objectives in mind, we turn to how these can be related to customer goals and the activities they perform to realise them. We may start with a persona and walk through a day in the life of their interaction with the product. The use of scenarios may inform the thinking. As we develop a customer journey for them, at each step we're capturing stories. At this point they may be just titles, prompts. Indeed at this stage we're looking at breadth rather than detail. Chances are they will be epics that we can break down into something more useful later when we start narrowing down on scope.
Let's take an example of online banking for a retail bank. We'll start with creating a scenario:

Luxury sunbeds with padded seating and parosols, Turkish lamp and night time lighting to set the scene. An abundance of plants to create the perfect setting.

Stunning villa with stunning views
We have worked hard on the Villa from the first time we found the plot so we really appreciate your feedback and are happy you had such enjoyment from it. We also have a bigger villa further up the mountain so maybe you can stay there next time.
About the Owner
About Michelle
Welcome! My name is Michelle and my partner is Mel. We have travelled far and wide in search for the perfect spot in which to spend more time. We discovered Islamlar with its breath taking views and unspoilt way of life and sophisticated Kalkan which is a short distance away. We realised we had found an idyllic place. In July 2011 Mountainside Retreat Villa was born. We love the area so much we then built a smaller traditional Mountain Villa ready for 2015! Ref: tk 4685. A haven to escape from the stress of everyday life. I also run Yoga Retreats at the larger villa with a special programme for deep relaxation and time out. Please enquire if interested. Please do ring with any queries regarding the villas!
Michelle purchased this villa in 2014
Why Michelle chose Lycian & Turquoise Coast
Mountain Villa is off the beaten track in a unique setting nestling into the mountains, which is why we chose it . Every window has a view of the stunning scenery, there is a sense of being with nature. Various forms of wildlife have been seen including a regular visit from a tortoise.
We love the area because there is so much to explore from world heritage sights, ancient ruins to quad biking or simply catching the sun rays at the famous sandy Patara beach. The villa has views of Kalkan Bay. We can travel for miles without seeing other cars which is bliss.
We feel the villa has the best of both worlds with its privacy and quietness yet a short drive to Kalkan and many other areas, we love this contrast.
What makes this villa unique
The benefits of staying here include the privacy of your own infinity pool and the stillness surrounding you. It is so theraupeutic to be amidst nature and find your 'senses' again....that is before unwinding with a glass of wine and watching the dramatic sunsets :-)
A car is recommended and we can help with this. It is then five minutes to local restaurants and village shops. The location is particularly spectacular and the word that comes to me when I lay by the pool is 'paradise'.... it is certainly suitable for Honeymooners.
The village people are so friendly and helpful. We also have a brilliant English speaking Manager and nothing is too much trouble for him and his team.

Stunning villa with stunning views
We stayed here with our two boys (13 & 10) for three glorious weeks and we couldn't have chosen a more perfect villa to enable us to totally unwind from our busy lives. We hired a car from Dalaman airport and drove an hour and a half to Kalkan (D400 all the way, very easy). The villa has the most breathtaking views from its elevated position in the village of Islamlar, around a further 10 minute drive from Kalkan. Beautifully constructed, clean and well maintained with everything you require for your stay. You do need to be fit and able-bodied to cope with the steep climb up to the villa, but its worth every step. You are rewarded with the wow factor! The villa layout worked perfectly for us as we stayed downstairs with our sons (double room with en-suite & twin room with separate bathroom). The boys grandparents joined us for part of our stay and had the stunning master suite, allowing them their own private space as its accessed via an external staircase. The infinity pool was enjoyed very much by us all, as was the shaded outside dining area and BBQ. However you can't beat the peace and quiet. It was just wonderful -nothing but the sound of nature and our boys having fun in the pool. Michelle answered all our questions quickly and was very pleasant to deal with. As were the local management company who were very attentive during out stay. During our stay we enjoyed a private boat trip from Kalkan, Oludeniz Water World, Kas, Kaputus beach and river kayaking on the Xanthos river plus much more. We love Turkey and the Turkish people and we would love to return in the future. We highly recommend, you will not be disappointed if you choose Michelle's villa.
Absolutely love this place
My family and I have been to this villa for the last 2 years and plan on booking up for next year. The villa is in such a beautiful, peaceful location and is complete with all the little extras you could possibly want. The views are absolutely stunning, you cannot beat it. It's only a short drive into Kalkan too where the beaches are absolutely stunning. Can't wait to go back for the third time.
Amazing views overlooking the mountains
We stayed at this beautiful property with our 3 children (9yo,6yo and 11 months) and had a wonderful,relaxing time.The villa itself is tucked away in the mountains,just a short drive from the centre of Kalkan and what amazing views we had.The children loved spending time in the pool and we loved exploring the local shops and markets and interacting with the local people during our stay.We went on a boat trip to the sunken city and the children spent most of the day snorkelling off the side of the boat,turtle and fish spotting.The villa was clean and cool and well equipped for our needs.We had an amazing stay and are looking to book again in the future.
Amazing villa, great holiday!
We had a wonderful time staying at Villa Mountain. The villa is in very peaceful surroundings and we managed to get beautiful sunshine from first thing in the morning until late afternoon even though it was autumn! Sunsets were beautiful and at night time the star-lit sky was stunning. Because we had great weather we were really able to take advantage of the outside area which was perfect for us. For those who come in summer there is a wonderful shaded eating area. Inside, the villa itself has everything you need. Our bedrooms were tastefully decorated with a lot of thought to the finish and the beds were incredibly comfortable. The living space was nicely laid out and had lovely finishing touches. There is plenty to do within a short drive but we were equally happy to just "hang out" at the villa. This villa was perfect and enabled us to have a really wonderful holiday in this very special place. Its worth mentioning the final bit of the drive to the villa is quite steep but is well worth it, because the views are spectacular! Definately highly recommended.

Should you ever find yourself driving in Texas' hill country, you'd be well advised to spend a few hours visiting the Natural Bridge Caverns, just north of San Antonio. It's got a beautiful selection of cavern geology (stalactites and stalagmites and such), it's a pretty easy walk, and photography is allowed / encouraged.
Oh, yes — and there's a limestone natural bridge, seen here at the cavern entrance, over the shoulder of our guide.
The Texas hill country gets its nickname from the fact that it's karst terrain — starting with limestone beds laid down millennia ago (when this part of North America was an ocean floor) which were subsequently uplifted, then underwent underground erosion by ground water. Many of the caverns formed in this process have collapsed, leaving a hilly surface for modern residents.
The Natural Bridge Caverns formed about 140 million years ago, were discovered in 1960, opened to the public in 1964, and tours have since been given by the family owning the land they reside under.
The developed part of the caverns have over a half mile of paved trail, and extend to some 260 feet below the surface. The caverns are considered to be "alive," with features still growing.

LOL, I have to say I agree with Alan all the way. Now I never took any short cuts :) , well ....maybe once or twice.

So we need to ensure this all the time. Regards, Rajith.
