Islamabad

Hello People,
We are today discussing the Capital City, YES, the Capital "Islamabad". the city itself is a very planned and well build city, in its infrastructure compared to other cities in Pakistan is outclass. The base of the city was put by Gen Zia ul Haq and thus he changed the capital city to Islamabad from the former capital "Karachi".
The city itself is very peaceful and due its nature as valley its surrounded by beautiful lush green mountains the air of peace captivates you.
Beside anything else what one enjoys the most, is the environment, and due to most of the public I've seen in Islamabad was way more literate than you find in other cities they environment is humble and everyone talks to each other in a very measured way (Since I've seen the warm nature of this land this wasn't quite amusing about Islamabad ).The air in Islamabad is very fresh , though for some reason the time in Islamabad passes very fast. As for tourist there are number of attractions there to visit.

Daman-e-Koh

As Daman -e koh orignally means (Lap of the Mountain)

Viewpoint In Daman-e-Koh
Before I start discussing Daman-e-Koh itself I must mention the beauty of the route you have to take to reach daman-e-koh Its a road cut out in the mountains and while you ride a bike or drive a car up the road the The tall tress and their green colored fragrance fascinates you in every way. And once you realize that there are so many Animals and especially monkeys watching you enjoying your ride, the feeling just doubles up. My personal opinion of the way to Daman-e-koh is that it was one of the best rides I ever had(P.S I was riding a bike and my friend asked me to let him steer, However I was enjoying too much and there is no way one can pass on the steer to someone else on such a fascinating moment).

  Now about Daman-e-Koh itself the place is wonderful and spacious, it is more like a park you are welcomed in the park by Read ass-ed Monkey's 😆 (My friend identified them as baboons. P.S he didn't knew actually.) but to this day I don't know what specie that was.As you enter the park you'll see people sitting with their trained monkey waiting to put on a show, do try them they are good and amuses you on how well they've trained their pets. Well as you move on you'll find a canteen, be careful when you eat food or open up a cracker The monkeys in the park are waiting to snatch stuff from you, I got my kurkuray snatched from me and for the whole next stay in the park I was annoyed by the fact that I was robbed by a red ass-ed monkey.As you move on you'll reach the Viewpoint its totally breathtaking as you see the Whole Islamabad in a blurred picture due to clouds.mostly people return from this point but you can actually go further if you're more of a tourist. There is stairway craved right in the middle of the trees (Trees here are huge and have a good canopy as very few light passes down).you may find types of animals here, but the most common would be monkeys as you walk between this heavenly stairway, you  really enjoy the feeling of nature (Do try it). and once you're done here you can continue on the same road to have a good lunch or dinner at Heaven Heights hotel which moreover presents a beautiful site, and as you quench your thirst and fill up your stomach sitting on your seat in heaven heights the view before you presents a fairy tale Scenery.

Faisal Masjid (Mosque) lies right at the heart of the Islamabad city, and is one the major tourist attraction for Tourist. The mosque is one of the largest mosques in Asia and world and due to its exquisite architecture and maintenance you are forced to say "wow" at the look of it.Faisal mosque can normally be seen from anywhere in Islamabad, I don't specifically know why but it is how it is. (P.S I will add the reason to post once I get the answer my self).
The Grave of a Pakistani General Zia-ul-Haq lies in Faisal mosque. The surrounding of Faisal mosque are pleasant Grassed Plain and at some distance there is a walk way between the tress which extremely beautiful.

It is one the best family spots in Islamabad, large extending park, with a bird park, lots of canteens , food you'll like, Viewpoints of lake. and offcourse you can boat across the lake to have a good and nice Firsthand experience of the lake.



The Good thing about the place is its Cheap and offers a good amusement. There is a amusement park at the start of the park and off course an f1 Racing cars track which you can also try, believe me its good

I hope for you to visit Islamabad, and visit all these places.
