Mushkpuri Top (Urdu: مُشکپوری) is a 2,800-metre-high (9,200 ft) mountain in the Nathia Gali Hills, in the Circle Bakote Region of Abbottabad District of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province in northern Pakistan. It is 90 kilometres (56 mi) north of Islamabad, just above Dunga Gali in the Nathia Gali area of Ayubia National Park. It is the second highest peak in the Galyat Region after Miranjani which is located at 2,992 metres (9,816 ft). Much of the mountain is covered with Western Himalayan subalpine conifer forests. In 1858 following a survey carried out during the British Raj it was described as being "clothed with deodar to its summit, and pines, firs, oaks, rhododendrons, walnuts, and other forest trees."
