All about the Ayubia & Nathia Gali Tour.

Ayubia & Nathia Gali Tour: If you plan to spend several days in Islamabad and are interested in nature and scenery, the Ayubia & Nathia Gali Tour is an additional alternative for sightseeing. Ayubia is a region made up of the four hill towns of Khanspur, Ghora Dhaka, Khairagali, and Changla Gali. It was given its name in honor of Field Marshal Ayub Khan, the second president of Pakistan. Ayub Khan’s plan saw the development and connection of these places in order to encourage tourism and provide the general population with a refuge for pleasure. He had a vision to improve the visitor experience, and two instances of this are the chairlifts at Ayubia and Changla Gali.

There are several natural attractions in both Ayubia and Nathia Gali. For hikers and lovers of nature, the verdant forests, green meadows, and winding pathways make the perfect atmosphere. Opportunities for birdwatching and eco-tourism can be found in the Ayubia National Park, which is home to a wide variety of plants and animals.

The history of Ayubia and Nathia Gali goes beyond their aesthetic appeal. These mountain towns have seen the blending of various cultures and influences. While the indigenous communities have kept their cultural history, the British colonial presence is still visible in the architecture. The vivid tapestry of the area is influenced by the numerous tribes in the vicinity, including the Gakhars and the Abbottabadis.

Ayubia and Nathia Gali have maintained their popularity as tourist spots after gaining their freedom. Their popularity as weekend getaways has been aided by the fact that they are easily accessible from large cities like Islamabad and Rawalpindi. They are now welcoming places for tourists looking for adventure and leisure thanks to the development of modern amenities including hotels, restaurants, and recreational facilities.
