One's destination is never a place but a new way of seeing things.

As it is said that "IN THE MORNING THERE IS MEANING, IN THE EVENING THERE IS FEELING".  So yes, there is some enchanting beauty to feel in the silence of evening. Though the place I am sharing here is not calm and silent at all, but still the lively aura will make you sit here and enjoy for a while the lively evening and the live music. The evening's, usually the best part of the day because you can relax and enjoy the serenity.  So here I am sharing about one of such beautiful, sweet spot for evening hangout and and that is Monal restaurant , located on Margalla road, located a few km from downtown Islamabad.

Dino valley theme park is one of the recent addition to amusement parks in Pakistan. Located in capital city Islamabad, it is one of the popular place for kids since a couple of years. The park is built on a mountain slope, 7km drive onwards from a famous Monal restaurant on same Pir Sohawa road. Technically it is situated in Haripur jurisdiction.  Almost 25km from capital city Islamabad on same Pir Sohawa road. TICKET DETAILS TIL DATE : They offers different deals time to time.

Majority of the Dinosaurs are put on display in that specific area, for which adults are charged 800 pkr till date and kid 400pkr. However I noticed the prices seems varying time to time with little modification, discounts etc. Basically a kiddo place but still I liked the place being an adult you will definitely enjoy the views in surrounding.

I always get fascinated with the vibrant mustard fields in winters. It seems so alluring while seeing the clear blue skies with bright yellow mustard flowers. I love such winter's morning with clear blue skies. Beautiful mustard flowers in sunlight is a treat for eyes. Finally got an opportunity to spend some time time with yellow mustard flowers on a bright sunny day.  In rural areas, you will see mustard flowers in full bloom during winter season. The farmers use the traditional methods to cultivate the corps and make a regular supply of the crops in bundle to local market. In fact mustard leaves are one of the favorite green food during winters here. People love cooking mustard leaves and eat with bread. So come along and enjoy the natural beauty of Punjab in these mustard fields with me. 

Khanpur lake and dam is located in Khanpur town, somewhere between Taxila and Haripur and can be easily sighted along the roadside. One of my favorite spot since ages. Since childhood I used to come here at weekends and enjoyed the serenity and vastness of the lake. In 90's it was not commercialized but now the whole belt along the lake was taken by different resorts and providing some of the best water sports facilities to adrenaline junkie. There are multiple resorts but I visited Mabali.  Mabali has very easy access especially if you coming from KPK or Islamabad. We used Hazara Expressway this time and exit from Haripur toll plaza, took right towards Khanpur. Last time I visited here from Taxila side.

My this post is specifically about Nathiya gali hill station and Ayubia national park. However an overall it covers the Galyat Region  of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the neighboring Murree, Bhurban, Patriata that lies in Punjab. Actually this scenic strip extending both sides of Khyber Pukhtunkhwa-Punjab border, from Abbottabad to Murree. The stretch further goes connected to Thandiani Hill top located 25km from Abbottabad city.  NATHIYA GA LI  is accessible from both sides via Abbottabad and Murree and its located in center of Galiyat region. Due to it's higher altitude as comparison to other parts of Galyat it's cooler and pleasant.   THINGS TO DO IN NATHIYA GALI ➤ There are multiple hotels and cottages in nathiya gali that provides some wonderful scenic views. We stayed at one beautiful cottage " HIDDEN HEAVEN COTTAGE" I personally prefer cottages to stay.  ➤ There are some good cafes to check out.
