Patriata (New Murree) Tour
Murree's highest resort — the chairlift and cable car to a forested ridge-top view.
What is Patriata (New Murree), and how do I visit it?
Patriata, known as New Murree, is the highest resort in the Murree hills, where a chairlift and then a cable car climb through pine forest to a ridge at around 2,300 m. It lies about 15 km beyond Murree, roughly 2 hours from Islamabad. Pakistan Travellers runs it as a half-day within a Murree tour, arranging transport, tickets and hotels.
- Cooler and less crowded than central Murree, and it catches good snow in winter.
- Summer, May to September, is ideal; the ride may pause in bad weather.
- Often paired with Bhurban and the Mall Road on the same trip.
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.

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:
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.
