A netizen commented under his post, “These people are not just crazy, they are greedy. Why would anyone ask for these exorbitant prices!”
Another said that Swat is the best option. The user added that it is way cheaper, and also one can see lakes and water. Adding that the roads are also the same as in Murree.
