The experience

The tour starts with pickup from your Islamabad hotel and a drive to Murree, where you begin at Mall Road: the main outdoor market lined with textile boutiques, food stalls and souvenir shops. You'll have time to walk, eat and browse before moving to Patriata, a hill station with a cable car station surrounded by pine trees and steep hills. The cable car ride takes you to the top for a birds-eye view of the landscape below.

After Patriata you visit Governor House, a colonial-era building recently opened to the public in limited areas (access depends on current management rules). The final stop is Kashmir Point, a scenic viewpoint where you can walk to Government House, ride a safari train, or try horse riding if you choose. Lunch and spicy snacks are served during the day, and your guide handles the route and timing so you move between stops without navigating yourself.
