The lonely planet
Abbottabad is a city located in the Hazara region of theKhyber Pakhtunkhwa province, in northeastern Pakistan.
Abbottabad (ab-it-uh-baad), Hazara’s headquarters and biggest town, was founded as a British garrison town in the 1850s, and the shady gardens, church bells and wide streets in the Cantonment evoke the colonial era.
Beside the Cantonment is a compact and vibrant bazaar. At 1220m, Abbottabad has a cool climate, and one of the country’s finest hill-station retreats is an hour away at thandiani.
Southbound cyclists should take a rest and contemplate the scenic mountain route via Muree rather than the truck-choked KKH. Apart from changing money for an excursion into the Kghan valley there’s little reason for other travelers to make a halt.
The town has a sizable Christian minority and three active churches (Presbyterian, Anglican and Catholic). The language of the region is Hindko Punjabi, but you can get by with English and a little Urdu.
