Gali means hill top or Pass in the local dialect. Walk through the dense forests of the Galliyat. Move away from civilization and experience the wonders of the great outdoors. On a clear day there are magnificent views of the snow covered Pir Panjal Range in Indian held Kashmir, and of Nanga Parbat, far to the northeast. One of the advantages of the Galis is that they are within two hours drive from Islamabad.
