The Margallas









A panoramic view from the Margalllah mountains near Islamabad. You can see the sprawling city in the back ground and partially the road that leads up.



























This winding road starts from the Islamabad Zoo and zig zags its way up to the popular Monal Restaurant, the point previously remembered as Gokina. The road doesn't end there. There are lots of places to explore. You could take a small detour into a mountainous village or follow the main road up to Pir Sohawa, and it doesn't end there....



























Banyon shade, found on the way to Monal. Don't know why it was named as such but its a nice place for a picnic.

  1. This may be the reason for the name "banyon shade" but probably they got the spellings wrong.
