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

"The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience"  -Eleanor Roosevelt There was a time when I used to travel only for sake of travelling without taking it into any adventurous spirit.  No doubt, new environments and cultures are the most exciting aspects of travelling but with time I have learnt to explore the adventurous spirit of travel by opting a few adventurous opportunities like trekking in mountains, camping, ziplining in the mountains, watersports like parasailing on the lake and jet ski etc.  ONE SUCH ADVENTUROUS ACTIVITY recently I have done at HEAVENWAYS ZIPLINE ADVENTURE  , a newly inaugurated zipline activity at Noori valley of Kaghan in KP, Pakistan. They have quite professional staff and equipment safety for such adventurous sport.  They have been promoting adventurous tourism in Pakistan since last 3 years.

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.

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. 

Babusar pass is one of the beautiful mountain pass in Asia and highest point in Kaghan Valley, Pakistan that can be crossed in vehicles through a well carpeted road. It located mid way from Naran towards Gilgit baltistan and hunza. It connects to Karakoram Highways near Chilas. Probably one of the finest and most panoramic drive but unfortunately once you arrived at the top there is a mess of shops and no proper cleanliness.  Check naran post here  Things to do in naran Do watch a complete video of this panoramic drive here  Naran to Babusar top.
