Ramada by Wyndham Murree Lower Topa Resort is a hill-station property that works as a mountain add-on to an Islamabad stay. It sits in the Murree area, where the air is cooler and the landscape is forested, and offers a break from the heat and noise of the capital. Staying overnight in the hills lets you enjoy the quiet that day-trippers miss, particularly at sunrise and after dark, when the crowds have gone and the town returns to its natural rhythm. Rooms are comfortable and many have views over the valley, with a resort-style layout that encourages guests to relax on terraces and in lounges.
Dining is generally on site, with a restaurant serving local and international dishes, and snacks and tea are easy to find in nearby Murree. In winter, a warm room with a hot meal and a view of falling snow is part of the charm. The resort is suitable for families, couples and small groups, and staff can advise on viewpoints, walks and the best times to visit Mall Road without the weekend crush.
From the property you can reach Murree's Mall Road, Pindi Point, Kashmir Point and the road to Nathiagali and the Galiyat. The drive from Islamabad takes about two hours depending on traffic, and weekends and holidays can be much slower. Check road and weather conditions before leaving, especially in winter, and ask about transfers if you do not want to drive yourself.
Who it suits
Travellers who want mountain air, a quiet night away and an easy base for hill-station sightseeing. Less suited to those who need to stay in Islamabad each day. Check current room types, rates, facilities and cancellation terms when you book, because details change by season and by property. Because mountain weather changes quickly, pack layers and keep your plans flexible.
To get the most from a night in the hills, arrive in the afternoon, take a walk while the light is soft, and plan dinner on site or at a nearby restaurant. In the morning, mist often fills the valleys, and a cup of tea on the terrace is a quiet pleasure before the day-trippers arrive. If you want to explore, the Galiyat road leads to Nathiagali and Ayubia, and a driver can plan the day around the weather.
Pack warm clothes, waterproofs and sturdy shoes, and keep cash for small purchases. In winter, check whether the road requires chains, and travel in daylight whenever possible. The property is a convenient step between the capital and the northern hills.
