Namli Maira is a mountainous rural area located in Abbottabad District, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, Pakistan. It is one of the 51 union councils of Abbottabad District, and takes its name from the two largest hamlets in the Union Council, Namli and Maira. These settlements are nestled on mountain ridges about 20 kilometres from the city of Abbottabad, in the foothills of Miranjani, the highest peak in the district. A metalled road connects Namli Maira to the main Abbottabad—Nathia Gali road and is an alternate route to reach Nathia Gali from Abbottabad. Namli Maira is around 3 kilometres away Bagnotar on the main road.
The Union Council is administratively divided into Dhaki Khaiter, Namli Maira, Noor Mang, and Pagar Panghora areas.
Villages in the area include:
As this area is away from sea and is above sea level its winters, which last from October to April, are extreme. In April the climate tends to be quite temperate. The summer season is much warmer and more humid, with the temperature rising to a maximum of 25-30C degrees.
From mid July to mid August is the fifth season, monsoon, providing relief for local people after the hot months of May and June. Farming is the main occupation of the population. The farming is done by oxen in remote areas but in villages with better accessibility the land is ploughed by machinery. The two crops grown there are rabi and kharaif. The major rabi crops grown in the area are potato and maize, and the kharaif crop is only wheat, in a very small area of village. The wheat is used for cattle and for grain only. Some vegetables are also found here, including turnip, radish, peas, pumpkin, beans and mustard.
