How to plan the visit with a driver
- Your driver takes you from Islamabad or Rawalpindi to New Murree and waits while you ride.
- Go early on weekends and holidays: queues and road traffic build up later in the day.
- Check on the day whether the chairlift and the cable car are both running; operation can change for weather or safety work.
Best time: Summer for cool weather and clear views; winter when you want snow, with an SUV and an early start.
