Overview
Just 70km from Islamabad, the Nathiagali hill station and its surrounding peaks offer some of the finest short trekking in Pakistan. Mushkpuri Top (2,787m) and Miranjani (2,992m) rise above dense cedar and oak forests in the Galyat hills — designated as a protected forest and biodiversity area. The trails wind through forests thick with wild boar, leopards (rarely seen), pheasants, and extraordinary birdlife. On clear days, the Kashmir range is visible from both summits, with a stunning 360° panorama from Miranjani. The area is ideal for first-time trekkers, families, corporate groups, and anyone wanting an introductory Pakistan mountain experience without the cost or time commitment of the northern areas. Nathiagali itself is a classic hill station with colonial-era architecture, bazaars, and excellent fresh mountain air.
