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.
