Mushkpuri Peak, the second-highest mountain in the Galyat region, rises gracefully to about 9,200 feet above sea level. Located near Nathia Gali, it offers one of Pakistan’s most scenic trekking experiences. The trail to the summit winds through pine forests, wildflower meadows, and breathtaking viewpoints. On clear days, visitors can see the snow-capped peaks of Kashmir and the shimmering waters of Jhelum River. Its natural serenity and cool breeze make it a favorite destination for hikers and photographers alike.

The trek, starting from Dunga Gali or Nathia Gali, is moderately easy and accessible to most visitors. Along the way, the sound of rustling trees and chirping birds accompanies trekkers toward the summit. At the top, panoramic views reward the effort — a 360-degree vista of rolling hills and valleys blanketed in green. The path is well-maintained, encouraging eco-friendly tourism in the region.

Mushkpuri Peak exemplifies the scenic diversity of Pakistan’s northern landscape. It’s not just a hike but an experience of tranquility, nature, and self-discovery. As part of Ayubia National Park, the area remains protected and pristine. Whether visited in misty summer mornings or snow-covered winters, Mushkpuri offers an unforgettable glimpse into Pakistan’s natural majesty and the peaceful rhythm of its mountain life.
