Gulki Hill Station is one of the most remote areas of Pakistan, located near Taunsa Sharif in Southern Punjab and is the part of Koh-e-Suleman Mountain Range. The region has a Saraiki-speaking population and entertains a blend of cultural characteristics from both Baluchistan and Punjab due to its position on the provincial border.
Unlike Murree, which is the most visited hill station in Pakistan and attracts people from all over the country, Gulki primarily receives visitors from nearby areas such as Taunsa Sharif, Kot Addu, Sinawan, Daira Din Panah, and Dera Ghazi Khan, Who want to enjoy cold breeze during summers.
Gulki is notable for the variety of mountains found in the area, which include deposits of marble, silica, stone dust, black stone, and other significant types of stone. Numerous crusher plants have been established to process these materials for use in different industries across the country. During the rainy season, water flows from ‘Sanghar’ and creates a Storm surge through the area, locally referred to as a “نئے”.
Gulki visited by few thousand people annually but serves a purpose beyond tourism, as it connects the provinces of Punjab and Baluchistan. This route is used by both provinces to facilitate trade with reduced travel time.
