The story
The classic approach stages from Nathia Gali (sometimes via Dunga Gali) onto a well-used ridge path toward Mushkpuri. Difficulty sits in the moderate band for fit walkers - steeper and muddier after rain. Combine with Pipeline Track or Miranjani for a Galyat weekend, but do not underestimate altitude gain and cold wind on the top. Confirm trail status after snow or monsoon slips.
