Assalam o Alekum
And greetings for all members.
Its Iqra Muaaz here with you all guys to share my winter holidays.
Hope you all will be great! I am fine by the grace of ALLAH ALMIGHTY.
I spend my winter holidays with my family at "Khanaspur, Ayubia Valley". Northern area of Pakistan. Situated at Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
We went in last week of october. After october snowfalls starts due to which roads are blocked. So we decided to go at end of october.
We started our journey on wednesday, 27 October, 2021 early morning 7am. We have to start journey from Lahore, so we Decided to go through GT Road.
After 7 hours of our journey we reached at Islamabad, Capital city of Pakistan. Had some rest there for one day at our family relatives. Due to tiredness we had our lunch and took rest! In evening had some gup shup with relatives, ate dinner and went to sleep and next early morning we have to start journey towards Khanaspur, Ayubia Valley.

So next morning Thursday, 28 October, 2021, after breakfast at 9am we started moving towards our destination point.
It was getting to more cold as we were moving. The weather was very cold. Views were so pleasant and eye catching. After the drive of 4 hours we reached our destination point.

We decided to stay there at "PUNJAB UNIVERSITY RESORTS" as my father In law is a retired officer of Punjab University. So this all trip was organized by Punjab University as they give special protocol to their officers. Outside of our resort we saw a number of monkeys. Then we came to know it was a valley full of monkeys.
First day we had some rest and everyone was tired, in evening we decided to visit Market that was near to our resort. We went to market, roamed there and after having our dinner came back to our resort. As after getting dark night its dangerous to roam outside there due to wild animals living there in forests.
Very next day early morning Friday, 29 October, 2021, we decided to go for a Morning walk. The weather was so much cold and foggy. So after walk we came back to resort, had our breakfast and started getting ready to visit nearby areas.
On that day we decided to visit beautiful waterfalls situated near us as Ayubia Valley.
There were 3 famous waterfalls there :

Rayala Waterfall
Longwal Waterfall
Lahoorkus Waterfall
Three of them were lovely and beautiful. In between there also comes a point called "Bhutto Point" which is also very beautiful.

Next day Saturday, 30 October, 2021. We went to see famous areas there named as:

Donga Gali
Nathia Gali

Both points were amazing and mesmerizing. I personally loved that place.
Sunday, 31 October 2021, we went to see only nearby places, as it was a very rainh weather that day so we could only visit nearly areas when rain stops.
So that we visited a nearby Famous Ayubia Church, Moto Tunnel and Famous Ayubia Bazaar.

These places were also very amazing and full of beauty! We roamed there and enjoyed! Had some shopping from Ayubia Bazaar and came back to our resort.
On next day Monday 1 November 2021 we started our journey back to Lahore. After journey of 12 to 13 hours we reached back to our home.
This Trip was really very amazing for us and we all ennjoyed alot!
I hope My fellows will also enjoy and like it!
