The famous church in Nathia Gali. I dread the new color given to this church as I believe the old look was what gave this church it's edge. Nathia Gali is a hill station about 90km from Islamabad and at a 2.5 hour drive. It's at 8,200 ft height and is known for its evening walks and it's beautiful weather in summer.
