Earlier this weekend, Murree experienced a significant influx of tourists eager to enjoy its snow-covered peaks and crisp winter air.

Roads leading to the hill station were clogged with cars, buses, and motorcycles as families, friends, and couples flocked to the popular destination.

Murree’s winter landscape, with frosty vistas, frozen lakes, and scenic valleys, captivated visitors. One student from Islamabad, who visited with friends, shared, “I had been waiting for this trip for weeks.”
