Patriata

Patriata, often called New Murree, is a hill station in the pine forests above Murree in Punjab’s Rawalpindi District — at about 7,500 feet, the highest point in the province. It is best known for its two-stage ride system: an open chairlift climbs over the forest, then enclosed gondola cabins carry you the rest of the way to the hilltop, a 7 km journey in total. Quieter and greener than Murree town, Patriata offers forest walks, valley viewpoints and wooden camping pods on the ridge. On clear days the views stretch across the Galyat and towards Kashmir.
