Every turn reveals a new view, setting the stage for an exciting day ahead.
Perched at an elevation of about 8,000 feet, Ayubia Hill Station welcomes you with its cool climate, lush greenery, and laid-back charm.

The lively Ayubia Bazaar adds a touch of local flavor to your visit. Here you can explore stalls selling handicrafts, savor freshly made snacks, and enjoy a warm cup of tea while taking in the sights and sounds of this bustling hill station.
For nature enthusiasts, the surrounding forest trails offer peaceful walks amid whispering pines, with the chance to spot colorful Himalayan birds, playful monkeys, and other wildlife. And for those who love hiking, the scenic Pipeline Track — a gentle, tree-shaded trail connecting Ayubia to Dunga Gali — provides an excellent opportunity to immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the area.
Whether you come to ride the chairlift, browse the bazaar, hike through serene forests, or simply relax and soak in the cool mountain air, a day in Ayubia is a delightful escape — blending adventure, relaxation, and the timeless charm of the hills into one unforgettable experience.
