10 Things to do Good for Kids in Islamabad That You Shouldn't Miss
Serving as the capital of Pakistan since the Sixties, Islamabad was built according to a carefully organized plan, divided into sectors along a grid of clean, tree-lined streets. The city is sheltered by the Margalla Hills, the foothills of the Himalayas and the home of rare species of leopard, deer, birds, and even porcupines. Several hiking paths end at Daman-e-Koh, a picnic spot with a splendid view of the entire city, including the massive modernist Faisal Mosque and even the Rawal Dam.

A major attraction being the largest mosque built with support from Saudi Arabia is an excellent building with a unique Tent structure. The main hall is huge without any obstructive pillars. Its architecture is unique and is a major departure from the regular mosques (Masjids) which feature domes. The Crescent that adorns the centre of the roof is made of gold.

Margalla hills are part of the Himalayas (its extension) and surround Islamabad. They are lush green and rocky with springs here and there. You can visit the hills in a car and also visit the various trails for hiking. There are 6 hiking trails, the most commonly visited are trail 1, 3 and 5. Trail 1 is the easiest and only takes 45-50 minutes climb to Daman e Koh. Trail 3 is steep and takes 3 hours of strenuous hike to top at Monal restaurant. Trail 5 is 5 kms and first 2 -3 kms are easy while the 2 kms is the steepest and require quite an effort to climb. It takes around 3 hours of strenuous hike to reach the top so take water along with you. This trail is criss crossed by water streams and springs. The views from above are breath taking and refreshing. It’s better to go for hiking on any of these trails early in the morning or late afternoon. And don’t forget a sun cap and good quality hiking shoes or joggers.

Islamabad being a new city does not have much historic things to see. This Museum has good collection of historical items and makes us reflect back to the amazing and also saddening history. You will get to see some old railway buses which are now apart of this museum and some items from the British and Independence era. The huge old trees around this railway museum add to the scenery. A must see place for people interested in historic things.
