The draw here is the setting. Pinetop Resort sits right by Khanpur Dam off Wapda Gate, the kind of spot people head to precisely to swap routine for water views and pine air over a weekend or a short break. Rooms go for PKR 10,492 to PKR 14,584 per day. Meals are handled on the property through an on-site cook and a mess and dining hall, so you can plan a full day around the dam without worrying about where lunch comes from. Practical touches round things out: showers in the rooms and an iron and board when you need to look presentable. It's genuinely away from the bustle, with the nearest landmark, Jinnah Education System's Iqbal Campus, close to 9 km off, and the Islamabad universities a fair drive further still, Bahria Islamabad at about 14 km and NDU and VU Islamabad both past 16 km. That distance is the appeal rather than a drawback. If you're planning a getaway centred on Khanpur Dam and want somewhere to eat, wash up and rest between outings, this resort keeps things simple and puts you as close to the water as you can reasonably stay.
