Hi again. Today, I’m going to take you through a trip to yet another fascinating and widely-visited Hill Station of my country, called and known as Malam Jabba. This lovely place happens to be the Pakistan’s only ‘Ski Resort’ and the same is located some 315 Km from our Capital City Islamabad. The nearest airport is some 51 Km distant from Malam Jabba, known as Saidu Sharif Airport.

Winter is the best time and best season to visit Malam Jabba as you’ll see lots of lots of snow all around, covering every inch of the area and thus giving the visitors all the reasons in the world to say; it was a trip exactly worth the effort.

People simply love to play with snow that goes above 10-inch-thick at times.

To drive your vehicle(s) on these snow-covered tracks, you’ve got to be an expert and seasoned driver; a small mistake and you have no idea how fatal it could prove in the end.

The rivers, natural streams and cause-ways are in abundance in these valleys with crystal clear and freezing water; offering both fish and extremely pure and healthy drinking water.
Whenever you have a chance to come on a trip to Pakistan, do visit Malam Jabba and I bet; you’ll never regret your decision.
great
Fabulous post
Great Masha Allah , keep the good work up!
I love snow. In many ways purifies nature. And without chains it is unthinkable to have to travel in this snow. It’s in my homeland.
This is a really good one, i like it all. Keep doing more
What a nice place for vocations.
Superb! This is so different from the ideas people have about what Pakistan looks like 🙂
this is enchanting i must say
Great post, Nadeem. If winter is the best season to visit Malam Jabba, what is there over another season?
Well Albert, during the summer, you can’t bare the heat in the afternoons, but mornings and evenings are still more than pleasant. Greenery is at its peak during Spring but I said winter is best because professional skiers from around the world rush to the area only in winter to show their marvelous skiing skills and thus; attract hundreds of thousands of visitors, only to see the great show.
Wow… That’s great Nadeem. But a visit in winter will definitely freeze me! Brrrr…
Lovely pics
