Let’s discover on 14th of June with Asian Travel Pioneers the cool hills of Abbottabad, a historic mountain city once shaped by the British era and its long-standing military heritage.

Beyond its identity as an army city, Abbottabad is surrounded by pine forests, quiet villages, waterfalls, and green valleys that offer a refreshing escape from the summer heat.

The journey continues up to Thandiani Top, where we enjoy a relaxed picnic with wide mountain views, fresh air, and peaceful surroundings above the valleys.

💰 Price: around PKR 8,500 per person including transport, guides and lunch
