Islamabad travelers now have a new way to reach Nathiagali in style. A luxury helicopter service has launched, cutting the usual 2–3 hour road trip to just a 30-minute scenic flight. Passengers can enjoy aerial views of the region’s valleys and forested hills while avoiding long drives.
The service is operated by Baron Aviation in partnership with DoubleTree by Hilton Nathiagali. It targets high-end tourists and small private groups looking for a fast, comfortable travel experience. The one-hour round-trip package is priced at $1,050 per person and carries up to six passengers, offering a premium alternative to traditional transport.
Tourism experts say services like this reflect a growing interest in experience-focused travel. For many visitors, the journey itself becomes part of the adventure, not just the destination. Supporters also believe the service could boost Pakistan’s reputation for adventure and destination tourism.
DoubleTree by Hilton Nathiagali is known for its mountain retreat experience. Its resort-style accommodations, cooler climate, and access to nearby trails and viewpoints attract visitors year-round. Baron Aviation, on the other hand, is expanding its private aviation offerings. Its charter-style services emphasize speed, flexibility, and privacy, catering to travelers who value both comfort and time.
With this new service, reaching one of Pakistan’s most visited northern destinations has never been faster or more luxurious.
