Dunga Gali Pipe Line Track | Ayubia National Park | Family trip vlog
The Galiyat region is a popular destination among tourists, primarily visited by avid trekkers due to its scenic beauty. These hill stations in Pakistan offer mesmerizing views and natural beauty, two aspects that any visitor looks for in a holiday destination. One of the prime areas of interest in this region is the Pipeline Track, which offers a unique experience to the people.
This beautiful walking track is located in Dunga Gali, which is one of the most beautiful areas in the Galiyat region. This town is a few kilometres from Nathiagali, making it quite easy for anyone to visit this beautiful walking track. The area provides majestic views and is a perfect spot for families looking for a peaceful and clean picnic spot.
Being the only attraction in Dunga Gali, the Pipeline Track has become quite a popular feature of this serene yet bustling region.
This tracking path is situated above an 8-inch underground pipeline that carries water from Dunga Gali to Murree, one of the many sources supplying water to Murree. The Pipeline Track is a 4.0 kilometers walking track that takes you from Dunga Gali to Ayubia. It is a great walking path that takes around 40-50 minutes to cover. Most people visit the track in the summer to capture the essence of the area’s natural beauty and enjoy the beautiful weather.
The track was built by British Army in 1885 to supply water to Murree Cantonment from Dunga Gali.
This track is a part of Ayubia National Park also known as Ayubia which is a protected area of 3,312 hectares (33 km2) located in Abbottabad District, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, Pakistan. It was declared a national park in 1984. Ayubia was named after Muhammad Ayub Khan (1958–1969), second President of Pakistan. The area supports temperate coniferous forest and temperate broadleaf and mixed forest ecoregion habitats, with an average elevation of 8,000 feet (2,400 m) above sea level. Ayubia National Park is surrounded by seven major villages and three small towns of Thandiani, Nathiagali and Khanspur. The park has been developed as a resort complex from a combination of four mini resorts of Khaira Gali, Changla Gali, Khanspur and Ghora Dhaka in Galyat. Currently, it is managed by the Wildlife and Parks Department of Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
The climate of the park is cool in the summers, but harsh in the winters. While it remains only placidly hot in May and June, the cold sets in when the monsoons come to lash in late July and early August. In the winters cold increases in severity gradually until the west winds bring rains, which eventually turn into snow. The park remains snow-capped through the later part of winters.
The park holds 104 species of plants. The main floral species are Cedrus deodara, blue pine, yew, silver fir, horse chestnut and oak. Around 21 plants belonging to 19 families are known for their medicinal properties. Many of these are used in treatment of jaundice, stomach ulcers, snake bites, internal infections, diabetes, psoriasis and more. Some plants are said to have anti-carcinogenic effect as well. Also, some are used as biological insecticides and pesticides, mostly due to their insect-repellent nature. The World Wide Fund for Nature has launched an ethno-botanical initiative here "to demonstrate the sustainable use of plant resources as a means for protecting biodiversity. There are 23 mammals, 203 birds and 13 herpto-fauna in the park.
