If you think this is an English countryside castle then you are wrong. This is a fascinating place of great historical importance located somewhere in Pakistan. Some ATP readers would immediately recognize it and other won’t. If you know this place then hold your answer for a while (but please comment and give a hint to others though). So lets see how many of you can guess a) what it is, b) where, and b) to whom it belongs? Happy guessing.
As usual, answer and info about original photograph coming up in 2-3 days.
News Roundup: Airtel Rebranding, Raja Resigns, Doodle4Google Winner Announced.
Pluggdin (Bangalore, India) November 15, 2010 Banglore, Nov. 15 — Bharti Airtel to re-brand ‘Airtel’, to spend Rs 300 crores Bharti Airtel is going in for a mega brand change of Airtel for which the company will spend Rs 300 crores globally. The new look of the brand is expected to have a swoosh locked with the word Airtel. The way Airtel is written may also change, it is not expected to have a capital ‘A’ under the new brand. The red colour, though, will still be dominant in the new brand [source]. in our site google gravity download
BigB to serve legal notice to Airtel “Another shall be going to Airtel for their blatant misuse of my face and the announcement of a facility that they had advertised on television. And another shall be going to our managers of the Vog and Bachchan Bol, for not seeking our permission before putting out on national Tv, whether or not I was going to be involved in their facility with Airtel.
For an unpardonable infringement from such a large conglomerate I do hope that the legal notice shall serve as a lesson for my colleagues and fraternity that our rights and privileges cannot be misused in such a blatant manner. I also do hope that the law of the land shall observe with some gravity, these misdemeanors and give us the protection and justice that such occurrences deserve” [blog]. web site google gravity download

good site
governor house, nathiagali.
I thought this was Wali-i-Swat’s home near White Palace in Swat. Good one. NWFP Governor is sure a lucky fellow.
great quiz guys. one of my must visit place when i am in pakistan next year.
Ch. Akbar Sahab: take a deep breathe and relax dude. enjoy the quiz.
Actually Mr. Darwaish ypuare wrong on this one.
This does NOT “belong” to the governor of NWFP. It belongs to the people of NWFP and the people of Pakistan.
Unfortunately not only our political leaders but even we confused about how those who run gocernment are OUR SERVANTS nor our Masters. So, NO this does not BELONG to NWFP GOVERNOR
Well folks, this ATP Quiz turned out to be an interesting one and I think most of you confused it with Ziarat Residency in Balochistan :). Ziarat Residency has completely different surroundings and the building structure, color etc is also very different.
Well here is the answer for all of you. This beautiful house located in Nathia Gali belongs to the Governor of NWFP who comes here for summer vacations. Nathia Gali has been summer capital of NWFP province for long time and I believe it still is.
This Governor House was built by British rulers before independence of Pakistan. This beautiful building with its lush green lawns and impressive architecture is well maintained and still used as official residence and office of NWFP governer. There are many other NWFP government offices/buildings in Nathia Gali like Frontier House, Retreat House (now converted to a hotel) and Karnak House.
Visitors are not allowed inside Governor House but after permission from security officals they can take photographs from outside.
For adventure lovers, I would suggest a track near greens spot that goes to governer house. You can take nice photographs from this track. Behind the house, there is a track which leaves for the Miran Jani Hill which is the highest point in the Galliat Range at about 2867 m. It is a very scenic trek to Miran Jani Top which offers wonderful views of the pine forests and hills surrounding the region. You can book horses from Nathia Gali if you don’t want to go there by foot.
Speaking of Nathia Gali also reminds me of most delicious Patakha Chicken :). More pictures of NWFP Governor House in Nathia Gali here and here. The original photograph used in this quiz can be seen here
This is President’s House or Governor House in Murree.
