Welcome to Nathia Gali

The Heart of the Galiyat Mountains

Nathia Gali is a picturesque hill station and mountain resort town located in the Abbottabad District of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. Situated at an altitude of approximately 2,410 metres (7,910 feet), it is renowned for its crisp mountain air, lush pine forests, and world-class hiking trails.

As a premier tourist hub, the town is especially vibrant during the peak summer months of June, July, and August.

Accommodation & Acclimatization

While Nathia Gali offers a diverse range of hotel options, the peak season brings high demand. To ensure a seamless experience for the Galiyat Mountain 100k, we strongly recommend the following:
