Following are the coordinates of the highest point of Punjab(Latitude 30°21'38.59"N Longitude 70° 7'42.53"E)

Guys this is more than 200 feet higher than the highest point of Murree (Kashmir Point). Previously Murree and Patriata are considered the highest point of Punjab. But now i have searched this point as highest point of punjab i.e. 7585 feet Above Sea Level, Murree is 7385 and Patriata is Almost 7200 feet above sea level. (As per Google)

You should look at the links provided... the first link is from the TDC, Punjab... by the GOVERNMENT OF PUNJAB!!! I think they would know better than anything else?

ancient temples, ponds, jogis and a lot of wild snakes! almost a fairy tale come true

Sakesar in Soon valley might be highest point in Punjab(excluding muree islamabad side). Soon valley in khushaab (salt rang through kalarkahar) is beautiful place, have 3 or 4 lakes (one lake is 6km long). Beautiful and a must watch place.
