AT A GLANCE
Why go?
Kashmir Point sits at roughly 7,500 feet above sea level, making it the highest publicly accessible vantage point in the Murree area. From this perch on Viewforth Road, the town's commercial bustle falls away below you and the land opens into layered ridgelines stretching toward the hills of Kashmir. The name tells you where to look — east and southeast, past the pines, toward the Jhelum valley and the Azad Kashmir ranges that form the backdrop on a clear day.↗↗↗
If Mall Road is Murree's loud, shopfront personality, Kashmir Point is its quieter twin. Locals and visitors treat it less as a checklist item and more as a place to reset — to drink tea, walk slowly, and let the altitude remind you why this town became a hill retreat in the first place. It is one of the easiest scenic stops in Pakistan's most popular hill station, and one of the most rewarding when the weather cooperates.↗
What You'll See From the Ridge
On a clear day — and that condition matters here more than at most viewpoints — the panorama opens across rolling ridgelines covered in pine and deodar forest. The town's rooftops and the winding Mall Road sit below you like a miniature, and beyond the nearest hills, the land drops into the Jhelum River valley with the Azad Kashmir ranges forming a distant wall of blue-grey summits. Visitors who time their arrival for early morning often describe the light as the real draw: crisp, low-angle, and clean of the haze that settles in by late morning.
