The story

Unlike summit pushes to Mushkpuri or Miranjani, Pipeline Track stays on a gentler contour path through pine forest. It is ideal for mixed groups and first-time Galyat visitors. Combine with a Nathia Gali overnight or continue to harder ridge hikes on a second day. Confirm park opening hours and trail mud status after monsoon or winter snow.
