Things to do in Islamabad

[babajee]

One of my friends is going soon as part of his trip to Pakistan.

Any places you guys would recommend to see and things to do? [MENTION=143023]SarfiBabarHaris[/MENTION] [MENTION=141922]ExpressPacer[/MENTION] [MENTION=135038]Major[/MENTION] and anyone else.

As a Lahori, I have no idea

Its a pretty boring city. Nothing exciting to do there. In Pakistan, majority of enjoyment surrounds around food and thats all they have. Visit restaurants I guess. And usual places like Faisal mosque and Monal up there in the hills.

As a Lahori, I have no idea

Monal at night
Hike to peer sohawa through trail 3 or trail 5 (approximate 2 hours hike in summers and 1:15 minutes in winter)
Centaurus Mall
Pakistan Monument
Saidpur Village
Faisal Mosque
Rawal Dam and lake view park
F-9 park for relaxaion and walking/jogging
And early morning 25 minute hike to Daman e Koh from Zoo if he is interested in nature and complete peace.

These are some good places to visit. He will get a nice view of Islamabad from both Monal and Daman e Koh. If no fog then he will live the view.

Baqi Islamabad used to be a bit dull when it comes to food but now we have some cool eating places too but that depends what he likes and with whom he is going either with family or friends and what kind of a guy he is.

Mahol dekhna hai to us mai bhi depend krta hai banda kaisa hai

Haha

He's going with family.

But anyway thanks for the suggestions, will pass them on.

Also agr randomly drive krna hai to he can drive in newly built E and D sectors which are just beside the Margalla Hills or better would be to drive on Margalla road.

For crowded places and to get a feel of the city drive from G-10 markaz to Karachi company then to Jinnah super F-7 and from there to Super Market F-6.

If he is a nerdy kinda guy then he should visit new NUST H-12 campus which is pretty cool for a Pakistani university.

Lok Virsa is nice.

Islamabad needs a lot of work done when it comes to excitement. Being our capital city the government needs to liven things up there.

Finally a good post.

Sukoon and peace.

Best city in pak

Islamabad is the best city in Pakistan. Clean, beautiful and organised. There is a lot of things to do; including visiting the museum (amazing!), hiking, going to places such as Lake View. The food is nice too; you could check out Butt Karahi . There is also a Mian Jee on the way to Islamabad. Islamabad itself offers many great places to eat!

 

[Loralai]

Islamabad is the best. Along with Wah it is the nicest city in Pakistan for everyday life.

As an Islamabadian wouldn't have agreed with this 10 years back but its true now.

I have lived in Faislabad , Karachi and Lahore too (and for good period not just few weeks) and we are catching up in terms of food places.
But downside is we are losing our greenery for which Islamabad was/is famous.

Ohh someone from Wah? Cool haha

Wah has the highest literacy rate in Pakistan, almost 100%.

[hamid.s]

is Islamabad the cleanest and most modern city in Pak? From the pictures that I have seen, it looks so pristine and beautiful. Yes pictures can be deceiving but it does look like a good city to live in.

Catch the next flight/train/bus to Lahore.

Situation is good now, but yeah hopefully the relations between both countries improve and we can travel freely.
