About RHCP
RHCP is a community of runners and hikers exploring the hills of Pakistan, from the Galiyat to the Thandiani range and beyond.
We document lesser-known routes, hike them as a group, and share everything you need to go prepared.
Every trail on this site comes from one of the club's own photo albums, and every figure links to where it came from. Where we don't know something yet, the page says so.
Our trail code
Let nature be as beautiful as you found it. Whatever you carry in, carry out.
Respect the values, traditions and culture of local people. Meet with a smile and respect their environment.
The record
The people
Hike leaders and organisers will be introduced here once the club has shared their names and photos.
Club field guides
Two routes the club has written up in full, in English and Urdu. All figures are the club's own.
An easy loop through chir-pine forest in the Galiyat, past Rajwala House to the Noor Shah Ghazi Ziarat. GPS recorded on Strava; best months August to October.
From Jhala through pine forest to Sattu Bungalow, an old Forest Rest House. The first ~5 km are gentle up to a water tank, then the climb begins. A shorter ~5 km route runs via Batadana village.
