Patriata New Murree tour — chairlift and cable car over forested hills

Patriata (New Murree) Tour

Murree's highest resort — the chairlift and cable car to a forested ridge-top view.

Published June 18, 2026 Pakistan Travellers Team 5 min read

Patriata, known as New Murree, is the highest and greenest resort in the Murree hills — famous for its two-stage chairlift and cable car that climb through pine forest to a ridge-top at around 2,300 m with sweeping views. Cooler and less crowded than the Mall, it is a favourite family day out and an easy add-on to any Murree trip. Our tours handle the transport, tickets and a smooth plan.

About Patriata (New Murree)

Patriata's signature is its ride: a chairlift to a mid-station, then a cable car to the top ridge, gliding over dense pine forest with valley views the whole way. The top has viewpoints, food stalls and forest walks. Being higher than central Murree, it is cooler and greener, and in winter it catches good snow.

How to get to Patriata

Patriata is about 15 km beyond Murree, roughly 2 hours from Islamabad in total via the Murree Expressway. It pairs naturally with a Murree or Galiyat trip. Our packages include comfortable transport, so you skip the weekend traffic and parking hassle.

Best time to visit

Summer (May–September) is ideal — cool, green and perfect for the chairlift and cable car, when the plains are hot. Winter brings snow and a magical white ridge, though the ride may pause in bad weather. Spring and autumn are quiet and pleasant.

Tour packages

Patriata is usually a half-day within a Murree tour, often with Bhurban and the Mall. We arrange the transport, chairlift/cable-car tickets and hotels. Tell us your dates and group for an all-in Murree-and-Patriata quote.

BUILT AROUND YOU

Most Patriata 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:

1 · Your vehicle

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.

2 · Your hotel standard

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.
