Havelian is the second largest municipality in the Abbottabad District, in the Hazara Division, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan. It serves as the headquarters for Havelian Tehsil. The word literally translates into English as "mansions". The outskirts of the city are also home to one of the largest ordnance factories of Pakistan, Pakistan Ordnance Factories Havelian.

Havelian is located on the Karakoram Highway and on the banks of Dor River, about 15.5 kilometers south west of Abbottabad.

Havelian's main public transport consist of auto rickshaws, modified Suzuki pickup vehicles, tongs, which can accommodate anywhere from 8 to 13 people at a time. Taxis and automobiles for hire are also available. Vans and buses are frequently used for connecting Havelian to the surrounding cities and towns in the region.

The M-15 Motorway, also known as the Hazara Motorway, a 180-kilometer controlled-access motorway links Havelian with Rawalpindi/Islamabad via Burhan Interchange of M1 near Hasan Abdal, Punjab. Hazara Motorway has reduced the drive time from Islamabad to Havelian to just 30 minutes, additionally providing a road to the Havelian Dry Port project. A bypass from Havelian to Damtor has also been completed.

Havelian is the last railway station while traveling to the northern areas of Pakistan in KPK province.

In February 2007, consultants investigated the construction of a railway link to China. The line would cross the 4,730m-high Khunjerab pass.
