Ayubia Point is a prominent ridge station located in the Galyat region of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan. It serves as the primary hub for the Ayubia Chairlift, which transports visitors to the nearby summit of Pindi Point. The area is positioned at an altitude of approximately 8,000 feet above sea level, contributing to a temperate mountain climate. It is situated within the boundaries of the Ayubia National Park, a protected area known for its coniferous forests and diverse wildlife. The point acts as the starting or ending terminal for the popular Pipeline Track, a scenic walking trail that follows the historic water pipeline once supplying Murree. Visitors can access a variety of local food stalls and commercial viewpoints overlooking the surrounding valleys. The site remains a central node for tourists traversing the Galyat mountain range between Nathia Gali and Dunga Gali.
