Cool air, a long weekend away
Murree and the Galiyat run along a ridge of pine forest an hour above Islamabad, in the foothills of the Himalaya. For families in Lahore, it is the closest escape from the summer heat.
Most visitors stay on Mall Road. We stay further along the ridge at Nathia Gali, where the walks are quieter: the Pipeline Track to Ayubia, and the climb to Mushkpuri Top for views across to the Kashmir peaks.

What travellers said about Murree
“An easy long weekend with the kids. The hotel was a little dated, but the walks along the ridge were exactly what we needed.”
