Margalla hills are lush green and filled with wild life and wonderful trailsA must visit place with trekking sticks and good joggersFresh air and serene atmosphere
I don’t think it’s as good as everyone thought. The mountain road is steep and the driver is old. There are two restaurants on the top of the mountain. There is a large observation deck called Morna. Sit down for a cup of coffee and see the city view of Islamabad under the mountain. There are several newly built high-rise office buildings. Most are single-family homes, as well as Parliament House, main road, lake. Smog is shrouded.
Beautiful Margalla hills have so many points towards Pir Sohawa where one can sit and relax.
Scenic area, a place worth visiting
Mount Magra is located in the northwest of Islamabad, the remnants of the Karakoram Mountains. At the foot of the mountain is the Islamabad Wildlife Park (at the entrance of the road that meets F6 and F7). Driving along the road, there is a famous half-mountain park halfway up the mountain, and you can overlook the entire Islamabad on its observation deck. The famous Monal open-air restaurant overlooking the city's lights is definitely Islamabad's most romantic night show. There are about seven routes up the mountain, one of which is a highway, you can ride or drive up the mountain. The other six are hiking routes. The road up the mountain is in good condition, but the road is not wide and the slope is very steep. If you choose to drive to the top of the mountain, you must choose a vehicle in good condition to avoid failure or get off the cart on the way up the mountain. Among the hiking lines, the most mature is Line 3 and Line 5 (Trail3, Trail5), at the entrance of Line 3, there is a map of the entire Magra mountain hiking route map, and the camera can be taken before going up the mountain. In addition, there is a small road about 10 meters west of the main entrance of Line 3, which is sparsely populated, but the scenery is more magnificent than the main line (overlooking Islamabad), and the road will meet the main line without risk of getting lost. The entrance of Line 5 is about 1 km east of Line 3, which is characterized by a stream on the way up the mountain, and you can try to trace the stream when the water is abundant in summer.
Margalla hills national park is beautifully organized and is good for a family day out and picnic.
