Thandiani (literally meaning "very cold") is a hill station in the Galyat area of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province of Pakistan.
[1][2] To the east beyond the Kunhar River lies the snow-covered Pir Panjal mountain range of Kashmir.
[6][7] Thandiani is characterized by excellent weather and lush greenery in the summer months, and snow-covered vistas and hills in the winter.
The mountains around Thandiani are quite thickly forested compared to most other hill stations in the locality, which have suffered some degree of deforestation over time.
The local wildlife includes leopards, monkeys, several kinds of pheasants and the increasingly rare flying squirrel and pine marten, to name only a few.
