Murree Tour
The Queen of Hills — Mall Road, Patriata chairlift, Bhurban and pine-clad viewpoints, an hour from Islamabad.
How do I plan a Murree tour, and how many days do I need?
Murree sits about 60 km and 1.5 hours from Islamabad by the Murree Expressway, or 5-6 hours from Lahore. A day trip works, but 2-3 days covers the Mall Road, Kashmir and Pindi Points, the Patriata chairlift, Bhurban and the Galiyat. Pakistan Travellers runs these with private transport and booked hotels, so pricing depends on group size, hotel and season.
- Islamabad to Murree is about 60 km and 1.5 hours via the Murree Expressway.
- Snowfall usually falls between December and February; summer runs May to September.
- Patriata's chairlift and cable car, Bhurban and the Galiyat are easy add-ons.
Murree is Pakistan's most-loved hill station — the 'Queen of Hills' — and the easiest mountain escape from the twin cities, just about an hour and a half from Islamabad. With its cool summer air, pine forests, the famous Mall Road, the Patriata (New Murree) chairlift and winter snowfall, it is the perfect family weekend or a relaxing add-on to a northern trip. Our Murree tours handle the transport, handpicked hotels and a smooth plan so you skip the traffic and parking stress and simply enjoy the hills.
Things to do in Murree
The heart of Murree is the Mall Road, lined with cafes, shops and the old colonial church, with Kashmir Point and Pindi Point offering sweeping valley views. The biggest draw is Patriata (New Murree), where a chairlift and cable car climb through the forest to a ridge-top viewpoint. Nearby Bhurban is quieter and greener, home to golf and premium resorts, while a short drive reaches the Galiyat — Nathia Gali and Ayubia — for even cooler pine forests.
How to get to Murree
Murree is roughly 60 km and about 1.5 hours from Islamabad by the Murree Expressway, and around 5–6 hours from Lahore via the motorway. Our tours include comfortable private transport with an experienced driver, so you avoid the notorious weekend traffic jams and the struggle to find parking on the Mall — we drop you right where you need to be.
Best time to visit Murree
Murree is a year-round destination. Summer (May–September) brings pleasant cool weather and is ideal for families escaping the plains' heat. Winter (December–February) is the magic season for snowfall — the town and forests turn white, though roads can get busy and slippery, so a skilled local driver matters. Spring and autumn are quiet, green and comfortable.
Murree tour packages and cost
A Murree day trip from Islamabad is the simplest option; most visitors prefer a relaxed 2–3 day package that also covers Patriata, Bhurban and the Galiyat. Costs depend on your group size, hotel category and season — winter and long weekends are dearer. Tell us your dates and group and we send a clear, all-in quote with transport, hotels and sightseeing.
Where you stay in Murree
Murree has everything from budget guest houses to premium resorts in Bhurban and along the ridge. We pick clean, well-located hotels — near the Mall for convenience or in quieter Bhurban for calm and views — matched to your budget. On busy weekends and in snow season we book early, as the best rooms fill fast.

Most Murree trips are fully customised
We rarely sell a fixed, off-the-shelf tour. Instead we build each itinerary around your dates, group size, pace and budget — and confirm hotels based on live availability for your travel window. Your total package cost comes down to just two choices:
A private 4×4 with a trained mountain driver, sized to your group. For a smooth, comfortable mountain journey we usually recommend the Toyota Prado TZ, though the full range — from sedans to Land Cruisers, Grand Cabins and Coasters — is available depending on your group size.
Choose from four tiers — Standard, Executive, Luxury and Premium. Same route, elevated comfort at each step. Premium and 5★ stays such as Shangrila, Broqand other resorts deliver the best locations and views; these raise the total but are worth it for a special trip.
