Nathia Gali
نتھیا گلی
A pine-forest resort at about 2500 m in the Galiyat hills, with walking routes up Mushkpuri and Miranjani peaks and distant snow-capped mountains.
Nathia Gali lies in the Galiyat hills of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. It is cooler and quieter than Murree, and the town has the colonial-era St Matthew's Church and the Governor's House. Classic hikes include Mushkpuri Peak (about 3 hours round trip) and Miranjani, the highest peak in the Galiyat. On clear days you can see snowy peaks in the direction of Nanga Parbat. It is about 2.5 to 3 hours' drive from Islamabad via Murree. A day trip is possible, but an overnight stay is generally recommended.
