During
British rule Nathia Gali, its a part of Abbottabad tehsil of Hazara District,
served as the summer head-quarters of the Chief Commissioner.
Nathia Gali town also serves as the administrative center of
Nathia Gali Union Council. It is today located in what is the Abbottabad
District, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. At 2,500 m (8,200 ft), it is a popular
tourist resort in the summer months. It is forested with pine, cedar, oak walnut and
also oak and maple trees.
During the summer, Nathia Gali is relatively popular amongst
tourists, but due to its limited area and availability of property, it is not
thronged by as many people as the hill-station Murree, which is only an hour
away, even though it has more to offer in terms of recreation. Nathiagali is
known for a beautiful trek that leads to Thandiani that passes through Dagri naka.
The weather of Nathiagali remains cool,
pleasant and foggy in summers (1 May to 31 August). During the monsoon season (1 July to 16 September), rain is expected
almost every day. Cold winds start to chill the weather in autumn. Winters (1
November to 28 February) are very cold and chilly. In December and January,
heavy snowfall occurs here. The weather remains cold in spring. Here most
comfortable weather is the summer season.
