The optimal time to plan a visit to Ghora Gali in Murree is during the summer months, typically ranging from May to July. During these months, the weather is pleasantly warm and enjoyable, with temperatures hovering around 15°C to 25°C (59°F to 77°F). The lush greenery of the hill station is in full bloom, creating a picturesque and serene environment for travelers. Tourists flock to Ghora Gali to escape the scorching heat of the plains as the higher elevation provides a cool and refreshing retreat. This period is also ideal for outdoor activities such as hiking, trekking, and enjoying the scenic views from various lookout points. Moreover, the summer season coincides with the school holidays in Pakistan, making it a bustling time for local tourism.
However, for those who have a penchant for winter landscapes and snowfall, the months of December to February might appeal as the best time to visit. Ghora Gali turns into a winter wonderland, covered in a blanket of snow, which is perfect for winter sports enthusiasts looking to enjoy activities like skiing or snowboarding. The temperature during the winter months can drop significantly, sometimes below freezing, thus it is crucial for visitors to come well-prepared with heavy winter attire. It’s important to check weather forecasts and road conditions in advance, as the area can experience heavy snowfall leading to temporary road closures. While winter provides a different kind of charm, the accessibility of facilities may be limited compared to the summer season.
