The story
Multiple small falls sit around the Ghora Gali / Dewal foothill zone. Names vary by local use - ask on the ground for the current path rather than relying on a single pin. Paths can be slippery after rain; footwear with grip matters more than distance.

Sleep
Where to stay
Base yourself in
- Murree / Ghora Gali
Typical night
PKR 2,000-6,000 / night
- Homestays
- Camping / tents
Book vs walk-in I'd sleep in Murree / Ghora Gali and treat Dewal / Ghora Gali Falls as a half-day add-on unless you already have a valley base nearby. Peak weekends fill the obvious rooms first.
None at the cascades; services in Murree or along the main road.
Luggage
What to pack
Here's what I'd pack for Dewal / Ghora Gali Falls - day-stop kit, not expedition cosplay.
Essential
- Daypack15-25L
Water, layers, and a dry bag for the phone when spray gets ambitious.
- Grip shoes1 pair
Wet rock is optimistic about your balance. Skip smooth soles.
- Light rain / wind shell1
Spray soaks faster than weather apps admit.
- Cash (PKR)Day float
Parking, tea stalls, and surprise entry desks still love notes.
- Sun protectionHat + SPF
Bright rock bowls and high UV even on cool days.
Nice to have
- Microfiber cloth / zip bag1
Lens and phone insurance against mist.
- Change of socks1 pair
Optional, but future-you may send a thank-you note.
Money
Rough costs
Per person / day
PKR 1,500-5,000
Stay + simple meals + local hops
Ballpark for the outing itself - fuel share, snacks, parking or entry if any - not a full hotel night. Private jeeps and peak weekends lean high. Confirm locally.
