The short answer
The route
Take the M-1 and the Hazara Motorway towards Haripur. The drive is fast and straightforward, and Hasan Abdal and Taxila lie on or near the way.
Places to visit around Haripur
- Khanpur Dam and Lake, for boating and lakeside views.
- Tarbela Dam, one of the largest earth-filled dams in the world, a short drive away.
- Hasan Abdal and Panja Sahib, a major Sikh pilgrimage site, on the way.
- Local orchards and village food stops.
Where to stay
Haripur has simple hotels and guesthouses, and most visitors make it a day trip from Islamabad. For overnight stays, Abbottabad has more choices. We are an independent car with driver service, not a hotel agent: confirm rooms and rates with the hotel.
Best time to go
October to April is pleasant. Summers are hot in the plains, so plan the lakeside visit for the morning or evening.
