Well, being an Islamabadi, Murree has been hosting us since childhood but all of us have overheard how half of the family finds it too overrated while the other half finds it too underrated to be visited. Being a Gen-Zier myself, I had been struggling to come up with a conclusion as this soul goes through multiple mood swings! Sometimes, all it wants is a peaceful place to rant life while on many occasions it asks nothing less than an ever wild, loudest party with crowd pulling at its best. Here are few places to visit while you’re on your Murree trip, leave your thoughts in the comments, we’d love to hear your POV.

Kashmir Point

One of the most scenic points of Murree surrounded by mountains of Kashmir, this point is 7500 feet above the sea level. Not just the view, this point offers entertainment for every age and person. Find some swing rides here ranging from manual see-saw to electronic dragon pendulums attracting kids of all ages. For the foodie you, this place has got stalls for traditional tea and coffee, masala pakora (fritters), hot fries and some piping hot corn soup. Of course, it doesn’t end here! Rent out a horse or pony and travel through the nature reflecting streets of Murree to satisfy that nature loving soul of yours!

Ayubia

You might not know but Ayubia is one of Pakistan’s national parks named after the president Ayub Khan back in 1984. This mountainous valley lies 8000 feet above the sea level and is known as the home of monkeys from last many years! Carrying your kids along, this place is a must go for you. Ayubia connects mall road Murree with Nathia Galli, the beautiful highway is a modern structured road leading through steep curves, highs, and lows. Stop by any point there, enjoy some Bhatta (corn on the cob) and let your kids breathe the heavenly nature. Don’t forget to wear your seatbelts!

Nathia Galli

Another jaw-dropping sight of Murree, showering you with unpolluted nature, beautiful mountain tops, street food joints and some extra ordinary lavish resorts with facilities of single and suite rooms. This place is located 7900 feet above the sea level and forms the highest peak amongst all the mountain ranges of Murree. Due to its high-altitude geography, it is considered as one of the best hiking tracks in the range offering a perfect path for beginners and pro hikers. If you’re a newly wed man, take your spouse to the place and impress her with your hiking hacks. All the best!

The Mall Road

Who doesn’t know the famous mall road? Over the years, we have seen this placed overcrowded with people and seller shops only. But of course, it exists as the heart of Murree who has given life to it. Being on hill stations not everyone is a nature lover, some people find peace in shopping only and this place is heaven for the shopping brats for sure. From candies to candles, from shoes to crockery find everything on this 2-kilometer-long road and shop your heart out!
