The place
Murree & Bhurban
Murree is a hill station in the outer Himalaya, north-east of Islamabad, and the town itself sits at about 2,291 m above sea level. The area guide describes Murree as a short climb from Rawalpindi and Islamabad that grew as a summer retreat in the 19th century and still follows the ridge above the Kashmir Road. The town spreads along the crest and down both sides, so many streets are steep and some are stepped. The Mall is the spine: a narrow road lined with shops, food stalls and small hotels.
Shangrila Resort Hotel Murree is in this hill station, about 1.7 km straight-line from the Mall in Murree. In Murree, the air is cooler than Islamabad at any time of year, mornings are clear and afternoons often cloud over, and the monsoon brings rain and mist from July. The area guide notes that most trips are short, built around a walk, a viewpoint and a night or two, which fits a stay here: the centre is close but the property sits in greenery that reviews describe as peaceful.
