Travel to Islamabad:
If you are travelling to Pakistan, you will almost certainly pass through the Islamabad on your tour, especially if you are going to the north, where adventure awaits. A city like Islamabad may not be as interesting as the northern part of Pakistan, but with my ultimate guide in hand, you'll have a great time there while experiencing a side of Pakistan that you wouldn't see otherwise by visiting touristic places like the mountains.
MUST VISIT SPOTS!
In compared to the Lahore historical village or other old buddy, Karachi, Islamabad is rather a young metropolis. However, as it is the capital of the country, there are numerous locations in Islamabad to visit.
1: SHAH FAISAL MOSQUE
The Shah Faisal Mosque is Pakistan's largest mosque, named after Saudi King Faisal, who provided financial assistance for its development. Between the late 1980s and the early 1990s, it was also the world's biggest mosque. The lack of a domed construction, which is characteristic of mosques all around the world, is what makes this mosque really unusual. The mosque, designed by Turkish architect Vedat Dalokay in 1986, resembles a tent erected in the desert, with four spires rising from each corner. The mosque can accommodate over 70,000 worshipers, with roughly 10,000 individuals seated in the central prayer area.
2: THE PAKISTAN MONUMENT
Pakistan Monument, located on the western slopes of the Shakarparian Hills, is one of Islamabad's most well-known monuments. It has a distinctive architectural style that will capture your attention from the moment you walk in. Traditional Mughal architecture is included in the structure, which mimics petals. The national monument is historically significant since it represents the Pakistani people's togetherness. Many courageous men and women gave their life for the country's peace and togetherness. After you've finished viewing the monument, visit the adjacent Pakistan Monument Museum, where you can learn about the events of the Pakistan Movement via a collection of exhibits.
3: MARGALLA HILLS
If you reside near the mountains, it goes without saying that you will want to spend some time by visiting them. Tourists visiting Islamabad and people who wish to view the wilderness up close have similar feelings. Hiking paths may be found all throughout the hills, and hikers frequently backpack through them at their leisure. Many types of birds make the hills home, making them excellent for bird watchers. Exploring the Margalla Hills is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure that rewards you with panoramic views of Islamabad once you reach the summit.
4: MONAL RESTAURANT
Monal restaurant, located a short climb upstream from Daman-e-Koh, is Islamabad's greatest restaurant, giving not only wonderful cuisine. Monal is well renowned for its Pakistani cuisine, which includes everything from pizza, and pasta to continental and oriental cuisine. Handi, Biryani, and a variety of barbecue meals are among the must-try menu items.
5: GOLRA SHARIF RAILWAY MUSEUM
The British erected Golra Railway Station in 1882, and the Golra Sharif Railway Museum is a must-see for train enthusiasts. Even if you are not a die-hard train enthusiast and are just interested in the history of Pakistani railroads, you should visit the museum. There are many artefacts and memorabilia within that explain the narrative of how this method of transportation arrived to the country, with a focus on the British Raj era.

It is round in form, having stores on both the inside and outside of the circle. This is the place to go for shopping in Islamabad. It has everything from branded apparel to fine restaurants and jewellery stores.
8: SHAH ALLAH DITTA CAVES

Shah Allah Ditta is an old hamlet with several caverns thought to be utilised for meditation by monks. Relics from the Buddhist era can also be found here. You may marvel at the scenery of the surrounding hills in addition to the caverns.
9: DAMAN-E-KOH
While many might argue that they are the same, Daman-e-Koh, translated into ‘foothills’, is actually a viewing point on Margalla Hills, from where you can get a fabulous bird’s eye view of the entire town spread out in front of you. The beautiful Faisal Mosque is also visible from here. You can choose to visit the point while you hike through Margalla Hills.

#TRAVELCHAT HISPUR Snow Lake, or Lukpe Lawo, is a high-altitude glacial basin in the Karakoram mountain range in the Gilgit-Baltistan region of northern Pakistan. It is not a lake, despite its name. Snow Lake is located 16,000 feet above sea level, and is approximately 10 miles wide.
Biafo Glacier (60 km. long) and Hispar Glacier (61 km. long) meet at the 5151 m. Hispar Pass to form one of the longest glacial systems outside the polar regions. This highway of ice connects two ancient mountain kingdoms; Hunza in the west with Baltistan in the east.
In olden times warriors from Hunza would use this natural pathway to invade the peoples of Askolie in Baltistan. Later, the well known sport of "Polo," a Balti word meaning ball, served as a more positive outlet for aggression between these two kingdoms and matches were played on stretches of level ground in this locality
