Although, typically, the best deals will be, often on seconds – it would still be 15 – 18% discounted if booking on weekdays during off-seasons.
Best Time to Visit Murree for Budget Travelers
Time is an important consideration in travel planning and travel costs. Murree generally peaks in summer (June – August) and winter holiday (mid-December to early January), with hotels and transport charges to tourists at their peak rates as well.
In off-season – mid-February to early May, and late August to early November – you can generally catch a great deal and the weather and tourists will generally be on your side. You will be able to go to these places with fewer tourists in the way; some of these places could be Kashmir Point, Patriata, and Mall Road, as well, so you can enjoy them at a more leisurely pace. Travelling in the off-peak season often provides additional opportunities to receive discounts or even complimentary upgrades; and that is not a bad thing.
Food Tips for a Budget Murree Trip
Dining options in Murree generally offer a range of prices, and you will find a range of restaurants on Mall Road, which are really nice options, but as these places will cost a bit more purely based on their location. Affordable restaurants and roadside vendors, known as dhabas, are located within 250 to 500 meters of the main tourist points.
For breakfast at the roadside stalls, you’ll get parathas, omelet, and chai for less than Rs. 200, which is much better than paying the ridiculous breakfasts being offered at most hotels. Lunch and dinner for those local restaurants (ex., chicken karahi, dal fry, or chapli kebabs) are also fairly cheap in pricing and taste great.
Basic accommodations like MAS Holiday Homes have limited kitchen facilities, but they do allow travelers to cook meals while on vacation and bring down overall dining costs. Some excursion packages and/or tours may even include meal plans, which could be quite inexpensive with groups.
Ideal Trip Duration: Three Days
The 3 days trip to Murree would be a fantastic combination of shopping, activities, and relaxing, at a reasonable price.
| Day | Activities |
| Day 1 | Arrive, check in to the hotel, evening walk along Mall Road for local crafts shopping, sample local snacks, watch the sunset at Kashmir Point. |
| Day 2 | Visit the chairlift at Pindi Point, enjoy cable cars, optional trip to Nathia Gali, Patriata, or Ayubia National Park. |
| Day 3 | Breakfast in bed, quick trip to Murree Barian, last-minute souvenir shopping, then departure for home. |
I think most packages could easily be tailored into a three-day template, which would suit families, couples, and short holidays.
