Tourist Attractions In Pakistan

Margalla Hills National Park, established in 1980, is a sprawling 17,386-hectare protected area in northern Islamabad, offering a blend of biodiversity, scenic beauty, and recreational opportunities. Nestled at the foothills of the Himalayas, the park features rugged hills, dense forests, and over 30 hiking trails, including popular routes to Daman-e-Koh and Pir Sohawa. Home to diverse flora and fauna, including leopards, monkeys, and hundreds of bird species, it is a haven for nature lovers, hikers, and photographers. With stunning views of Islamabad and eco-conscious initiatives, the park is a premier destination for outdoor enthusiasts and tourists.

Ganga Choti, towering at 3,045 meters (9,990 feet) in Bagh District, Azad Jammu and Kashmir, is a majestic peak in the Pir Panjal Range, often called the “Crown of Bagha.” Located 18 km from Sudhan Gali, it offers panoramic views of lush valleys, Himalayan peaks, and border towns near the LoC. Named after Hindu mythology’s Gangadevi by pre-Partition Hindu residents, it’s a haven for trekkers and nature lovers. Despite a strenuous 4-5 hour trek, limited summit facilities, and winter snow, its serene landscapes, moderate trails, and winter festivals draw visitors year-round. An NOC is required for foreigners due to LoC proximity, but its accessibility from Islamabad (175 km) makes it a top AJ&K adventure spot.
