Islamabad - the capital city of Pakistan is one of the most beautiful cities in the South Asian region. Islamabad nestles against the backdrop of the Margalla Hills at the northern end of Potohar Plateau. Its climate is healthy, pollution free, plentiful in water resources and lush green. It is a modern and carefully planned city with wide roads and avenues, elegant public buildings and well-organized bazaars, markets, and shopping centers. Islamabad is the fastest growing city in terms of population, economy and urban development.

Faisal Mosque

Faisal Mosque is the largest mosque in South Asia and the sixth largest mosque in the world. It was completed in 1986 and named after the late King Shah Fahad bin Abdul Aziz of Saudi Arabia, who helped support and finance the project.

Daman-e-Koh & Pir Sohawa

With a view of Islamabad from the Margalla Hills, Daman-e-Koh (literal meaning “in the lap of the mountains”) is a beautiful sight to behold. Pir Sohawa, close to Daman-e-Koh, comes alive at night, with restaurants serving guests on decks, and the showcase of lights of the city adding to the splendor of the city. The Monal Restaurant is a big attraction for tourists, located high above Daman-e-Koh after a curly drive on the top of the hills, with a stunning view of Islamabad. It is labeled as the crown jewel of Islamabad dining.

Saidpur Village

A recreation of a modern village set up on the foot of the hills, Saidpur Village provides delicious food with traditional rural charm with a distinct Pakistani flavor. It infuses the deep cultural values of Pakistan’s rural regions. Those willing to whet their appetites while lying down on plush “gao takiyas”, this is the place to be.

Lok Virsa Museum

The Lok Virsa Museum (“Lok Virsa” meaning folk heritage) is located in the Shakarparian area, in the middle of the forest. Culture from all corners of Pakistan is displayed in eye catching exhibits, with traditional art and fabrics available for sale. If you wish to take away a piece of Pakistan back home, a visit to the Lok Virsa Museum is a must.

Khanpur Lake

Khanpur Lake is about 40 kilometers (25 miles) away from Islamabad in Hazara Division of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. The lake along with view of Margalla hills has become a popular tourist destination where people can enjoy boating, picnic, fishing and cliff diving. There is an island in the middle of the lake for enjoying the landscape. The lake was constructed along with the construction of Khanpur Dam in 1983.

Khanpur Lake is an ideal place for a day trip. It will be a more interesting trip if you take time to visit historical places of Taxila nearby and also the famous Taxila Museum.
