    He said: "We started our journey by road from Islamabad to Neelum Valley. We passed through many scenic places such as Dhani Waterfall, Kutton Waterfall, Neelum River and the glorious mountains on our way to Neelum Valley. The trip took us eight hours, but was exhilarating." Image Credit: Hussain Habib/Gulf News reader

Shogran is a hill station situated on a green plateau in Kaghan Valley north of Pakistan, at a height of 2,362 meters (7,749 ft) above sea level. It is located in the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

From there they spotted Malika Parbat, the highest peak in Kaghan Valley. He said: "We enjoyed the snow as we hiked towards the highest point. Here's a stunning view of Siri Paye, located near Kaghan Valley." Image Credit: Hussain Habib/Gulf News reader

    Then they went on towards Nathia Gali, a mountain resort town or hill station in the Abbottabad District of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. He said: "We stopped by the Ayubia district in Nathia Gali and were delighted to ride the chair lift, go balloon shooting, do some dry food shopping and finally troop back to Islamabad. We fell in love with the picturesque view. It was one of my best experiences of being close to nature." Image Credit: Hussain Habib/Gulf News reader
