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:
“In one notable instance, where the United States Army and a hundred years of persuasion failed, a highway has succeeded. The Seminole Indians surrendered to the Tamiami Trail. From the Everglades the remnants of this race emerged, soon after the trail was built, to set up their palm-thatched villages along the road and to hoist tribal flags as a lure to passing motorists.”
—For the State of Florida, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“For most visitors to Manhattan, both foreign and domestic, New York is the Shrine of the Good Time. “I don’t see how you stand it,” they often say to the native New Yorker who has been sitting up past his bedtime for a week in an attempt to tire his guest out. “It’s all right for a week or so, but give me the little old home town when it comes to living.” And, under his breath, the New Yorker endorses the transfer and wonders himself how he stands it.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
