The hiking trail begins at Dunga Gali and leads to Mushkpuri Top. Make sure to bring an umbrella, a hiking stick, proper hiking shoes, plenty of water, and some snacks. Hiking sticks can be rented for about Rs. 50 each. In winter, advisable to wear socks inside out over your shoes to prevent slipping. You can also take a ride up to the start of the trail, which is about a 1 km steep walk. It will save your energy for the actual trek.
At the beginning of the trail, an entrance fee of Rs. 15 for adults and Rs. 5 for children. It takes two hours to reach the top in winter when it is snowy, and roughly an hour and a half to descend. In summer, the hiking duration is significantly shorter. The area is relatively clean and scenic, surrounded by beautiful pine forests, and offers a good view of the pipeline track. However, there are some risky areas along the way that require careful hiking.
The trail leads to the first peak, with three more peaks beyond. The first two peaks are accessible in winter, while all four can be reached in summer. There are stalls along the way and at the top selling juices, water, and dry fruits. Please note that there are no washroom facilities on the trail or at the top.
Mushkpuri is an ideal destination for a day hike. On clear days, the Mukshpuri tops offer stunning views of Azad Kashmir. The trail begins at Dunga Gali and winds up the hill to the flat summit. It is an excellent location for a family visit or a hiking adventure, especially when it snows.
During my recent hike to Mushkpuri on March 28th as part of a university trip, we set out from the University of Islamabad at 9:30 AM. And reached the Amore Hotel in Nathia Gali by 11:30 AM. After ordering lunch, we began our hike toward Mushkpuri. I found the hike to be of moderate difficulty. However, since the area was covered in snow, the ground was quite slippery, so it is best to cover your shoes with some cloth. I highly recommend using a hiking stick, as it significantly reduces the risk of falling and getting injured. It took me about 2 hours and 45 minutes to 3 hours and 15 minutes to reach the peak, and the view was incredible. Initially, 17 students joined the excursion, but only 7 of us made it to the top. I would recommend planning a trip to Mushkpuri in March, as the weather is mild and the area is not too crowded. However, be cautious during the descent—slipping is common on the snow, and it is possible to twist an ankle if you are not careful. I suggest enjoying some slides on the way down; it is not only fun but likely the safer option!
For a different experience, I suggest starting the hike from Nathiagali on the western side of the mountain. This route is 4 kilometers long and is less crowded, although it is longer and more difficult than the Dunga Gali route. You can take the Dunga Gali route back, as it is shorter and less challenging.
