HAZARA REGION
The region of Hazara is like a door to heaven, opening
up to visitors a world re
plete
with natural beauty. It was a favourite gateway from
the plains into Kashmir during Mughal, Durrani and Sikh
rules. It is a large area some 10,000 sq. km. The world
famous Karakoram Highway starts from Havelian, a town
in this region at a distance of 101 km from Islamabad.
The mighty "Lion River" Indus or Abasin flows
through the entire length of Hazara. It is strategically
located between the Northern Areas, Azad Kashmir, Punjab
and the rest of the KPK "North West Frontier Province". Hill
stations collectively known as the Gallis and the Kaghan

during sizzling summer.
