Welcome to Thandiani — the last wild hilltop where pine forests breathe ancient tales, and the wind still carries the voice of silence.
For years, this gem in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa slept under the radar — but not anymore.
The World Is Coming — and So Is the Road
Once a winding trail known only to the brave, the route to Thandiani is being reborn — and it's not just hearsay. It’s backed by the *World Bank*.
Thanks to the KITE Project, a 24 km stretch from Abbottabad to Thandiani is being rebuilt, widened to 44 feet, and laid with climate-resilient concrete. This isn't just a road. It’s an invitation — to travelers, dreamers, and storytellers.
Completion expected: Late 2024
Funding: World Bank & KP Govt
Mission: Safer tourism, sustainable growth, and a smoother ride to heaven
From Forgotten to Front Page
In 2025, the KP government launched Thandiani Tourism Roadshows — showcasing the region’s untapped charm to investors, eco-travelers, and explorers. Thandiani is no longer a secret — it’s a rising name in Pakistan’s high-altitude tourism scene.
World Bank audits, anti-corruption probes, environmental protection protocols — everything’s in motion to *protect what matters, while building what’s needed*.
A Place That Doesn’t Shout — It Whispers
Thandiani isn’t loud like Murree. It doesn’t sell you glitter.
It offers stillness, real air, cold fingers, and green fireflies.
Here, you’ll find abandoned British churches hiding in fog.
Forests with no signs. Rocks with no names. Stars you’ve forgotten how to see.
And In The Heart Of It All — Velvet Pine Hotel
Where the clouds touch your balcony.
Where pine trees sway in your sleep.
Where you disconnect to reconnect.
Thandiani is calling — and now, the road is ready.
