Tips for Visiting Tolipir National Park#

  • Hire a local driver from Rawalakot or Muzaffarabad; some roads are steep and best navigated by drivers familiar with the plateau.
  • Visit Tolipir at dawn-cloud inversions and sea-of-clouds views over the Pir Panjal are dramatic early in the morning.
  • Pack warm layers even in summer-the high meadows can be windy and temperatures drop quickly after sunset.
