Why Christmas Tour Balakot?

Balakot is a perfectly peaceful “Christmas” rendezvous closer to your workstation in Islamabad. The only sound you hear at Balakot is, the soothing sound of the Kunhar River and the chirping of hummingbirds nestling over the thick pine forest. If you are overworked and want an escape to a quiet, peaceful but easily accessible place from Islamabad/Rawalpindi/Peshawar, yes you read that right. It is Balakot, at Hazara, KPK.

Balakot is not crowded, it is easily accessible by the Hazara motorway and you get the serenity of the Himalayan foothills.
