Pakistan's International Visitors — Why Bhurban Should Be on Every Pakistan Itinerary

Why should Bhurban be on every international visitor's Pakistan itinerary?

Himalaya Villas & Resorts in Bhurban is 47km from Islamabad International Airport — 1 hour from landing. It is a private cedar estate at 6,800 feet with a quality of accommodation that competes with mountain resort properties in Switzerland, New Zealand, or British Columbia. The cedar forest at dawn, the fire pit in the cedar garden, the mountain ridge view from the Presidential Suite terrace: these are experiences that international visitors consistently describe as 'unlike anywhere they expected in Pakistan.' The specific itinerary addition: fly into Islamabad, 1 night at Himalaya Villas Bhurban (the mountain arrival before the city) or 2 nights at the end of the Pakistan itinerary (the mountain decompression before the flight home). The cedar estate as the specific Pakistan experience that no hotel in Islamabad or Lahore can replicate.
