    Getting There

    Walking

    From the center of Abbottabad, head south on the main road towards the Abbottabad Bus Station. Once you reach the bus station, look for buses or vans heading to Murree. The fare is usually affordable, but make sure to ask the driver if they are going directly to Murree. Once you board the vehicle, the journey will take approximately 1 to 1.5 hours depending on traffic. The bus will take you through scenic mountain roads. You will drop off in the main market area of Murree, from where you can easily walk to various attractions.

    Public Transportation
