Dear Friend

I am sharing my last year experience, I did this hike in September 2015.

Just took Murree vehicle from Faizabad 6 and reached Nathiagali in three hours about 9

Started trak at 10:00 and reached at Lalazar Wildlife park in just 15 minutes

After viewing some beasts there started trak to top at 11:00 and reached muskpuri about 12:30

Track is amazing, and top is unforgettable

Took some beautiful picture and have some fruits there from day pack

enjoy the beauty of Mushkpuri

Mushkpuri is the second highest hill of Galyat. It is located in the Hills of Nathiagali in District Abbottabad, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. There is a three hour long but safe hill trek to the top. It is approximately 9452 feet (2,800 meters) above sea level.Trek to Mushkpuri top starts from Nathiagali spiraling upward through green pine forests. It is a 4 kilometers (2.5 miles) of climb. The way to the top is very breathtaking. It is full of greenery and is rich with fragmented flowers, like a carpet full of flowers. Especially at the end of the rainy season it gives a very attractive view to the hikers.There is another trek to Mushkpuri which starts from Dungagali. The slope on this route is steeper than the trek coming from Nathiagali. From the trek Mushkpuri to Dungagali down below there is a great sight of Ayubia National Park. There is a water pond at the Mushkpuri top which gives beautiful reflection of trees and the sky. From Mushkpuri top Kashmir valley can also be seen.

Seems like a great trek but unfortunately only the first 5 photos are opening. Maybe problem with my mobile or maybe some uploading problem at your end. Would love to see more photos. Regards
