Greetings!

For the past few years i always heard about pipe line track and motto tunnel in Ayubia National Park, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

I kept on planning to visit this place until yesterday when i got the chance to walk on the track that is surrounded by a peaceful forest of small and big pine trees. Majorly, there were pine trees, but other trees were also adding up to the beauty of track.

This track is located in Donga Gali. At the moment, when we have to enter the track, we were crazily tired. All twenty of us were feeling drained as we did hiking of Muskhpuri Top( About which i will post soon!).

Question arises here;
Why is it called Pipe Line Track?

There is historical pipeline used to supply water to Murree hills. This pipeline was constructed in 1930 in colonial time period. The length of pipeline track is approximately 4km and there are tunnels too at the end of the track. Interestingly, there is a historical and popular Church of colonial times, which is a popular tourist spot too.

We were twenty students on tour but not all twenty students were willing to explore pipeline track. Many of them were tired after having hike of Muskhpuri Top. They made excuse of resting in the restaurant. Though, we, six friends, were also exhausted and legs were not responding, still we were curious and excited to explore the beauty of Track.

We bought tickets that cost us 100Pkr per head. As we entered in daisy flowers welcomed us with sweet blended fragrance in the air.

While walking on the track, we were regretting our decision of doing hiking on Muskhpuri Top. We cried that we should explore Pipeline track at first and then should go to Muskhpuri Top.

It was evening time, only few tourists were walking on the track. That specific moment with few people around, birds chirpings and flower seller's uncle voice was all ambiance of the environment.

To my eyes, everything was either green or sky blue.

My friend, Sabiha, picked some daisy flowers and let them rest on the screen of Mobile.

Anfal Fatima, another friend, in fact, newly made friend, captured aesthetically beautiful pictures of me that i am definitely going to post on Instagram and on other social media platforms.

Damn, I feel so helpless

He was selling flower bands. Marketing strategy was really strong with his enchanting and heavy voice he was making everyone laugh.
alt
We didn't stop. Kept on walking, In my heart, i was determined that today we are going to visit Church and tunnels too.

Stood for a while near a shop. Shopkeeper was asking us to buy any item but we didn't.

I picked a flower, and then clicked a picture of it.

We wanted to cover more distance on the track but we received so many calls from people behind waiting in the bus. It was sort of annoying. But, we went back without even feeling and exploring the full.


See you next 馃挮
