The place
Murree & Bhurban
Chinar Family Resort sits in Murree, a hill station in the outer Himalaya of Punjab. Murree sits at about 2,291 m above sea level, a short climb from Rawalpindi and Islamabad, and the air is cooler than Islamabad at any time of year. The town grew as a summer retreat in the 19th century and still follows the ridge above the Kashmir Road, spreading along the crest and down both sides, so many streets are steep and some are stepped.
In Murree, the Mall is the spine: a narrow road lined with shops, food stalls and small hotels. Side lanes drop steeply into pine and oak woods. The resort is 8.2 km in a straight line from the Mall, so it is a base for the area rather than a doorstep stay in the centre. Mornings are clear, afternoons often cloud over, and the monsoon brings rain and mist from July.
Roads
Roads and getting around
In Murree, the Mall is the spine: a narrow road lined with shops, food stalls and small hotels, and the town spreads along the ridge with steep side streets. The resort is 8.2 km in a straight line from the Mall, so plan on a short drive rather than a walk for shops and food stalls. Free car parking is listed at the property, which makes a car the practical way to move between the resort and the town.
In Murree, summer brings visitors from the plains and winter can be cold, wet and occasionally snowy, so conditions on the ridge roads change with the season. The area guide notes the town follows the ridge above the Kashmir Road. Allow extra time in wet or snowy weather and check conditions locally before setting out, depending on snow.
