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

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. Search google about and check the reviews.  ➤ Nathiya Gali...

A very scenic golf course and very well maintained area by Pakistan army in bhurban. I personally like the place because here you can do a mini trek in the jungle, play golf and have lunch and tea as well. They have a restaurant and a tuck shop. Their golf instructors are very nice and take some charges for giving you golf instructions, If you're a newbie like me still you may learn the golf and play in this scenic background. Such a peaceful place. Mostly for army personnel and families but you can go and learn golf.  Bhurban is very calm area and have many things to do in itself. Here you may find many hotels, cottages or portions for your vacations. Apart from that the famous PC hotel also located here. Chinar golf course is really interesting and scenic place to visit. 

Usually I don't review books but some how recently I have been through a book "THE SECRET" by RHONDA BYRNE.  It's basically revolves around the philosophy of "Law of attraction".  We all knows that Law of attraction suggests that like attracts like means if you will think positive then chances are more likely to attract positivity in your life and same vice versa. Now the real question comes amid that " Is this law of attraction" concept is true? Well the answer is "there is no scientific evidence of it.  But still we all believe in our spheres of lives that there is an energy around us, POSITIVE & NEGATIVE.  Sometimes we start thinking negatively and it impacts our mind and body. On other side many times we start thinking positive so it has too impacts on our body and mind.   I personally won't like go deep in such philosophies because for me what matters is to get the real and straightforward concept and all I learn from it is that ...

Bhourbon is a hill station in Panjab, that is located about 9km from New Murree and about 25 min drive from main Murree. It is famous not only for its natural sceneries but also for its good standards of hotels. Pearl continental is the five star hotel located in bhourbon. A fine road to bhourbon valley is under construction now days.

A new road to Murree have been constructed , that is bit more smooth and comfortable. Its a motorway that would lead you straight to the Murree from where one can have further drive to Nathiagali, Bhourbon, patriata and other all galliat., scattered in the mountains.  A new motorway is under construction towards Muzzafarabad Azad Kashmir. That can provide certain more comfortable drive to the tourists that do want to visit the beautiful vallies of Kashmir and also to the residents of Muzafarabad. There is very gloomy side of these beautiful mountains. Some of them are near to decay coz of cutting trees. It looks very unpleasant.Govt of Pakistan have taken some steps to preserve the natural beauty of the Murree hills. But when there comes business then all other aspects of life are being ignored. What is Natural beauty......No one cares for that.....Why not one should make hotels without any proper planning and why not to make rush on such beautiful hills.....

Partriata is a hill station in Northern Punjab , situated about 25km from Murree, Pakistan. Its also known as New Murree.   Story behind the word " PATRIATA" : According to the locals there was an English tourist who came to see the natural beauties of this area, but he didn't knew the name of the place. In a way he met an old lady carrying a sack of flour on her head. He asked her what is the name of this place. An old lady was tired with the burden of sack, she ask him to help her by saying " PUTAR ATTA". ( "PUTAR" is a panjabi word which mean a son and "ATTA" is an urdu word which mean flour" The man smile and said thank you. He took the name of the area as "PUTERATTA" Later on it becomes "PATRIATA". Patriata now becomes one of the famous summer destination in Pakistan. It is famous not only for its natural scenery but basically it is famous for its chairlift and cable car system. For the first time...

Patriata's main tourist attraction is chairlift and cable car system. The climate is bit pleasant in summers. Here chairlifts and cable cars are used for the transportation to the highest point. Total ride is about 7km long. It is completed in two steps. In first step you would get chairlift ride and in second step would be cable car ride.I was a bright sunny day when i visited Patriata. The bountiful beauties of nature were giving a very pleasant feelings. On ground level, between foothills, one can get return ticket for chairlift plus cable car, which nowadays is Rs.260/. Chairlift ride takes the visitors to the mid of the hill, where they are transferred to the cable cars, which took them to the patriata hill top. During the ride one can get some of most magnificent and memorable natural views. Some of the most breath taking scenes can be viewed. There is a densely forested area. Monkeys and leopards are supposed to be there but unfortunately i have seen non of them...
