Where the Journey Becomes the Destination

Karore Valley, New Murree — gateway to the Murree–Kotli Sattian tourism belt.

Karore Valley

There is something about the air here. At Karore Valley, the mountains stretch wide, the silence has weight, and the sky feels closer than it should. Located in the heart of New Murree, Punjab, this valley is quickly becoming the region’s most sought-after mountain destination.

A comfortable drive from Islamabad and Rawalpindi brings you to a world apart. The tourism highway winds through pine-covered hills into a landscape that feels untouched — four waterfalls, four hilltops, Simly Lake, and the famous Patriata Chair Lift are all within reach.

Nearby Attractions

💧 Waterfalls

Four distinct waterfalls dot the surrounding landscape. Each one offers a different experience — from gentle cascades perfect for a picnic to dramatic falls that thunder after the monsoon. All within a short drive or hike from Monteluce.

⛰️ Hilltops

Four panoramic hilltops offer 360-degree views of the Murree hills. Sunrise here is an event. The valleys fill with mist, the peaks catch the first light, and for a moment, the world is perfectly still.

🌊 Simly Lake

A serene reservoir surrounded by pine forests. The still water mirrors the sky and the hills, creating one of the most photogenic spots in the region. Perfect for a quiet afternoon of boating or simply sitting by the shore.

🚡 Patriata Chair Lift

One of Pakistan’s most iconic mountain experiences — the Patriata Chair Lift carries you above the treetops with sweeping views of the entire Murree range. A must-visit for every guest of Monteluce.
