I recently stayed at Hotel Al Azeem in Ayubia and had one of the best hotel experiences ever. From the start, Manager Bilal was exceptional he personally ensured everything was perfect and up to the mark. The staff service was excellent, especially Shabaz, the staff member assigned to me. He was polite, professional, and performed all his duties efficiently. The staff is available 24/7, which added to the comfort and convenience of my stay. My room had an extraordinary view absolutely breathtaking and the kind that you don’t forget easily. Even more impressive was the pleasant weather.

Hotel Al Azeem averages 4.8 out of 5 across 1,719 reviews. A selection:
Had a wonderful 3-night stay at this hotel. Rooms were neat. Premium deluxe room offered a beautiful view. The owner was incredibly hospitable, and the staff was always available and eager to help with anything we needed especially Shehbaz, who was extremely polite and professional throughout our stay. Hotel had secure and safe parking, which gave us extra peace of mind. The real highlight, though, was the food. We tried breakfast, lunch, and dinner on different days, and each meal somehow topped the last. Everything was delicious and freshly prepared. I think I’ve found my go-to hotel in Ayubia for future trips.
We had a great visit to Hotel Azeem. The rooms are spacious, comfortable and have views of the beautiful forests and hills. Mr Azeem Is a fantastic host, he has a wealth of knowledge of the local area and accompanied us to nearby trails and historic colonial buildings which we wouldn’t have otherwise visited. The locals we met here were incredibly friendly, generous and hospitable. Although we had police with us as part of local protocol, the area was very safe and I’d recommend visiting this part of KPK for its stunning natural beauty, excellent trails and friendly locals.

Around Nathia Gali

The air is cool even in midsummer, and the surrounding forest gives the place a quiet, wooded feel. In the town itself, the bazaar is the focus, with shops and food stalls along the main road, and the lanes between the houses are pleasant to wander.

A day in Nathia Gali is enough for the bazaar, a walk on the ridge and a short forest path.

Murree grew as a summer retreat in the 19th century and still follows the ridge above the Kashmir Road. Muzaffarabad sits where the Jhelum and Neelum rivers meet, a busy town in Azad Kashmir with hill views and a mountain road to the north. Rawalakot is a small hill town in Azad Kashmir at about 1,600 m, set among pine-covered slopes and fruit orchards.
