Location
Khaira Gali, Galiyat
A quiet hill station between Murree and Nathia Gali, wrapped in pine forest and about two hours from Islamabad.
The place
Where the city slows down
The Galiyat is the chain of hill stations strung along the ridge between Murree and Abbottabad. Khaira Gali sits in its heart, on the road through the forest, with the busier resorts close enough for a day out and far enough to keep the quiet.
Skyline Terrace stands just below the road, turned towards the valley. From the balconies the view runs over the treetops to the ridgelines beyond, and on monsoon mornings the mist rises straight up past the windows.
