Why a Land Cruiser with driver for Murree?

Murree is only about 60 km from Islamabad, but the last part is a steady climb with many bends, and the weekend traffic is heavy. A Land Cruiser with a professional driver keeps the family comfortable and lets you enjoy the view instead of the road. See the Land Cruiser V8 and the premium Land Cruiser on our cars page, or read the full Islamabad to Murree route page.

A simple one-day plan from Islamabad

Early morning: pickup from your home, hotel or airport in Islamabad or Rawalpindi.
Mid morning: first stop at Murree. Walk on Mall Road, have tea, then Kashmir Point for the view.
Lunch: in Murree or Bhurban, away from the busiest part of Mall Road.
Afternoon: drive to Patriata (New Murree) for the chairlift and cable car.
Evening: start the return before dark so the hill roads are easy and the traffic is lighter.

Patriata, Kashmir Point and Ayubia

Patriata is the favourite for families because the chairlift and cable car give a view over the pine forest without a long walk. Kashmir Point is a short stop for photos and a wide view on clear days. Ayubia in the Galiyat is a green national park area with a chairlift and forest walks. It is farther along the hill road, so we suggest an early start or a separate day. More details for each place are on our Murree tourist spots page.

Best time to go

Summer (April to September): cool air and green hills, but heavy traffic on weekends and holidays. Go early on a weekday if you can.
Winter (December to February): snow and a very different Murree. Roads can close, so we confirm the situation before the trip.
Monsoon (July and August): fresh and green, with some rain delays and slippery roads.

Tips from our drivers

Start before 8 am on weekends to avoid the long queue back from Murree.
Carry some cash for chairlift tickets, snacks and parking.
Take a light jacket even in summer, because it is cooler on the hills.
Tell us if you have small children or elderly passengers so the driver plans slower stops.

Mall Road, MurreeThe old promenade of Murree: walk, tea, snacks and shopping. Parking is tight on weekends, so your driver drops you and waits at a safe point.

Pindi PointA chairlift above Murree town with views back towards Rawalpindi and Islamabad on a clear day.
Patriata (New Murree) ChairliftThe most popular half-day stop: chairlift and cable car rides over pine forest, with food stalls at the top. Best early on weekdays.
BhurbanA quiet hill area with green views and walking roads. Good for a slower lunch away from the Mall Road crowd.
Ayubia National Park and ChairliftFurther along the Galiyat road (Khanspur). Forest walks and a chairlift. Because of the extra driving it works best as an early start or a separate day.
