Murree is Pakistan’s most developed and popular hill station located at an altitude of 6000-7000 feet above sea level. At an hour drive from Islamabad along a good quality, winding alpine road, it is crowded by visitors all year round. The scenery is superb, climate cool in summers and crispy cold in winters.

The name Murree is derived from 'marhi' "high place" although there is a popular belief it was named after the virgin Mary during the British times. When the British annexed Punjab in 1849, they soon decided to establish a hill station at Murree conveniently located near the important military cantonment of Rawalpindi. It was actually founded in 1851 on pastureland of a ridge and developed quickly. Today Murre is Punjab’s leading hill station attracting domestic and foreign visitors. The long summer days are ideal for lazy strolls between Kashmir and Pindi points.

After breakfast, drive to Murree hill station (about 65 kms) in nearly 2 hours. Visit Mall road, different hiking treks; enjoy the 2 chairlifts of Pindi Point and Patriata (New Murree). Also visit the famous Galliat of Nathia Gali and Ghorra Gali. After the visit, in the evening, return to your guesthouse.
