The region of Murree, called “the Queen of the Hills” for its scenic beauty and fascinating greenery. Nature in its full bounty is found scattered over every inch of the graceful hills and the lovely valleys. Beautiful verdant mountains overhung by pines and oaks, bubbling with gurgling springs, crisscrossed by rivulets, dotted with sprawling velvet-carpeted lawns and orchards with fruit laden trees, present the spectacle of a paradise on earth. But this is not all. The salubrious climate of the region makes the place, one of the best health resorts in Pakistan, which not only helps in recuperation but also elates one’s spirits. These are a few characteristics of Murree which attract thousands of inland and foreign tourists.
