This hills are jagged and pleasant to look at but there really aren't any trails or destinations that I was aware of within them. Maybe a trail leading to a peak or waterfall or something would be nice.

The chicken shak retaurants are a real treat after a long tirey walk, view point and walking trails, a real gem in the city, well worth exploring.

The trail is well kept, clean and not too "finished". Its basically rough gravel and large stones semi-arranged in steps through a long winding series of switchbacks, giving you a great view from both sides as you climb. You can see the monkeys on the way up, take pics of the drop-offs and the city behind you, and the greenery... More

The view is amazing from the top in the night when you could see the entire city of Islamabad. When I first had this experience, I was completely mismerized by the beautiful view beneath.

If you go Islamabad, then a trip up the Margalla hills is a must. The views on the way up are breathtaking. It's as if you're looking out across the world, you can see so far. Really beautiful. You can stop partway up to take photos as there's little parking areas with benches etc. There were monkeys chillin on the... More

The hills are a beautiful escape from the heat of Islamabad. They drive is pretty dramatic, with some parts of the climb being first gear. Not for those suffering from vertigo, either!
