Notable Visitors
Nathiagali serves as the holiday home of several prominent Pakistani families. Some of these families have been frequenting the Galyat for 4-5 decades and own mountain properties and lodges where they tend to socialise together on an annual basis. Some of these families have helped in the renovation of the local church and mosque and in other social projects. There are also a few properties leased by multinationals and other organisations as holiday homes for their executives.

Famous quotes containing the words notable and/or visitors:
“Every notable advance in technique or organization has to be paid for, and in most cases the debit is more or less equivalent to the credit. Except of course when it’s more than equivalent, as it has been with universal education, for example, or wireless, or these damned aeroplanes. In which case, of course, your progress is a step backwards and downwards.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“The zoo cannot but disappoint. The public purpose of zoos is to offer visitors the opportunity of looking at animals. Yet nowhere in a zoo can a stranger encounter the look of an animal. At the most, the animal’s gaze flickers and passes on. They look sideways. They look blindly beyond.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
