The Punjab Education Department has announced summer vacations for all public and private educational institutions in Murree and Kotli Sattian, according to an official notification.
Under the revised schedule, schools across both hill stations will remain closed from July 18 to July 31 for the summer break.
The department said that all academic activities will resume on August 1, when educational institutions reopen after the two-week vacation.
The notification applies to both government and private schools in Murree and Kotli Sattian, providing students and teachers with a short summer break during the ongoing warm weather.
It is important to note that a large number of tourists from across Pakistan have begun visiting the country’s scenic northern areas, including the Kaghan Valley, to beat the summer heat.
According to authorities, more than 50,000 tourists have entered the scenic Kaghan Valley as pleasant weather and rainfall pulled crowds towards northern areas.
Temperatures in Naran dropped to 6 degrees Celsius after continuous rain, giving tourists relief from heat in other parts of the country.
Hotels in the valley are fully booked while families continue arriving in large numbers. As this is a tourist season the hotel prices have also shot up ranging from Rs30,000 to Rs14,000
Tourists are enjoying beautiful roadside views, flowing streams and cold weather across the valley.
Visitors have also been advised to carry warm clothing due to the sharp fall in temperature especially at night.
Saif-ul-Malook Lake
The famous Lake Saif-ul-Malook, in the scenic Kaghan valley, remains the main attraction where tourists are gathering to enjoy the cloudy weather, rain and breathtaking scenery.
People come to enjoy its clear blue water and snow-covered mountains, including Malika Parbat, in the background.
