10 Essential Tips for Preparing for Galiyat Snowy Season

Updated: Feb 3


Snowfall in Galiyat - Pakistan

Located in the beautiful mountains of Pakistan, the Galiyat region transforms into a winter wonderland during the snow season. Stunning views and fresh mountain air make this an ideal destination for snow and nature lovers. Proper planning is essential to enjoy your snow and ice adventure in Galiat, where the snowfall recorded was 4 feet last year.


Here are 10 important tips to ensure you have a safe and enjoyable experience.


  1. Precaution to Avoid Carbon Monoxide Inhalation from Snow-Blocked Exhaust Pipes: Regularly inspect and clear your vehicle's exhaust pipes, especially during heavy snowfall, to prevent carbon monoxide buildup and ensure proper ventilation. Additionally, remove snow and ice around the exhaust pipe before starting the car to minimize the risk of blockage. Avoid using the car heater for an extended period, and stay alert to symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning. If detected, exit the vehicle immediately, seek fresh air, and consider equipping your car with a carbon monoxide detector for added safety. 

  2. Check the weather: Get the weather forecast for the Galiyat region before planning your trip. Sudden snowfall or severe weather conditions may affect access and overall safety. Be flexible with your travel dates to avoid weather-related issues.

  3. Bring warm clothing: Please bring appropriate clothing as it is cold in the Galiyat area during the snow season. Bring layers of clothing, an insulated jacket, gloves, a hat, and waterproof sandals to stay warm and comfortable. Don't forget to bring additional layers if the temperature drops.

  4. Snow Equipment: If you plan to participate in snow sports such as skiing or snowboarding, make sure you have the right equipment. Lock in or purchase snow gear like boots, waterproof pants, and goggles to enhance your experience and protect yourself from the elements.

  5. Vehicle Inspection: If you are going to Galiat, make sure your car is in good condition. Check the tires, brakes and battery and have your vehicle serviced if necessary. Fit your vehicle with new winter tires to increase traction in slippery conditions.

  6. Plan your stay in advance: Galliat attracts a large number of tourists during the snow season, so it is important to book your accommodation in advance. This will ensure you have a good place to stay and avoid any last minute hassles.

  7. Carry an emergency kit: Prepare for the unexpected by preparing an emergency kit. These include first aid kits, flashlights, extra blankets, healthy foods and portable equipment. This equipment is very important in unpredictable situations.

  8. Stay hydrated: It's important to stay hydrated even if the weather is cold. Dry mountain air can cause dehydration, so take a bottle of water with you and drink plenty of water during your trip. Also avoid caffeine and alcohol as they can cause dehydration.

  9. Being on the slope: Galliat is at a higher altitude so the high altitude will cause problems. On the first day of your trip, relax and let your body adjust. Stay hydrated, avoid strenuous activities, and watch for signs of altitude sickness.

  10. Tyre chain: Tyre chains, or snow chains, are essential for navigating snowy and icy roads. Comprising durable metal links, they enhance traction and reduce the risk of slippage during winter conditions. Easy to install and remove, these chains provide added stability, making them crucial for safe driving in snowy environments, especially in areas with limited snow removal.
