The Galyat region is a beautiful area in Pakistan, about 50 to 80 kilometers (around 30-50 miles) north-east of Islamabad. It sits right on the border between two parts of Pakistan: Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab.

The name Galyat comes from the Urdu word gali. A gali means a path or alley between two mountains, with valleys on either side. It's not the very top of a mountain range, but a passage through it. You'll notice that many towns in this area have "gali" in their names! The Galyat region is a very popular place for summer holidays in Pakistan because of its cool weather and stunning views. Murree is the biggest and most famous town in the Galyat area, known as a wonderful hill station.
