Scenic beauty and unforgettable memories of Koh-e-Murree

Noor Khan Bakhrani
The ever increasing rampant Global Warming have brought some sudden climate changes across the world which causes serious impact on human lives as well as other living creatures. In underdeveloped countries like ours during recent hot summers the mercury rises to an alarming level making the Earth’s atmosphere unbearable. In this plight situation the inmates are compelled to move to some colder Northern Areas of the country on high altitudes to lessen the schorching heat. Likewise, I along with my other four soulmates namely; Najeebullah Malik, Ghulam Shabbir Nindwani, Manzoor Ahmed and Khan Muhammad Jaferri set out for Koh Murree Hill Top to get rid of blistering heat. Honestly, talking about Kashmore district where we were perspiring from head to foot and were sick of the prevailing spell of sweltering heat wave. It was twentieth of July 2K24 we said adieu to Tangwani and set out for the excursion of Koh-e-Murree, one of the best and frequently visited places of Pakistan. Our whole journey was full of listening music, fun, cheers, laughter, chit chat and merriments all the way to our final destination. Whatsoever one can praise the company of friendly faces of our caravan is less than the mark. All the buddies were very nice in dealing and were excited, eager enough and enjoyed every bit of the journey to a great deal. Every member of our group was nice but Najeebullah Malik was rather more funny, frank and open-minded than the rest. He was also our ring leader so we all treated him quite frankly, brotherly and friendly. I used to call him “Sweet-hearted” on account of his so many good qualities like generous, social, sagacious, cheerful, and smiling one. In few words, he is a complete gentleman and noble soul. Here, I can’t help his romance and fair dealings with friends. He was our most trusted and reverend fellow. Mr. Ghulam Shabbir Nindwani was our car driver. No doubt he was a skilled and most trained one. I never saw him driving on such track that was full of winding, ascending, descending and Sharp turns. He proved himself a capable and efficient driver throughout the whole journey by showing a lot of strength, commitment, dedication, competence and expertise. The services of Manzoor Ahmed Jaferri can’t be expressed in words. His best quality is that he is a nature lover, romantic and philanthropist human by nature. We can’t forget his ridiculous and sometimes typical talks and Loved his parodies and jokes. The young man Khan Muhammad Jaferri was also matchless, amicable and very humorous by nature. He was energetic and keen on photography so he had been assigned the task of capturing snapshots during the trip which he did in a better and convenient way. Salutations to him for being a guy of obliging nature. He never refused any task assigned to him and respected his seniors at every stage. Speechlessly, I wonder to see paradise in Koh Murree from all aspects. Perhaps this is a stunning place where people throng to reach for amusement and enjoyment of lovely chill weather specially, in hot summers. The GPO, Mall Road, Ayubia, Nathia Gali, Donga Gali, famous Monkey Point, Kashmir Point, New Murree, Patriata Chair Lift are worth visiting tourist attractions in Murrree. The places we visited touch our heart and soul. We are quite speechless to say something about the natural beauty of Murree Hills. Every year thousands of visitors from every nook and corner of the homeland often come here in summer season to heave a sigh of relief from sizzling heat. We feel ourselves fortunate enough to stay for three consecutive nights for peace of mind and relaxation. It was a wonderful experience to witness the wonders of Koh-e-Murree this year with beloved soulmates. Tourism in Murrree still needs to be promoted by providing better accommodation facilities so that the visitors feel delighted and convenient to reach here in huge numbers in future. Before conclusion, I would say that the sweet memories of Koh Murree Hill Station will never die from our mind and soul and compel us to visit this mesmerizing site time and again in coming years.
