Islamabad The Beautiful
It is a region-wide symbol of progress, innovation and architectural marvel.

About Islamabad
Combining a rich history, the confluence of many a civilisation and temperate climate, Islamabad - the capital city of Pakistan, is one of the most beautiful cities in the South Asian region. Wide, tree-lined streets adorn the various sectors and zones of the city, making it accessible and spectacular. Administratively, the city is located within the Islamabad Capital Territory, which is federally controlled, even though historically Islamabad has been a part of the Punjab province; more specifically the Potohar Plateau. A meticulously planned city by renowned town planners Doxiadis Associates, Islamabad is the fastest growing city in terms of population, economy and urban development. As this trend continues, the city is shedding its reputation as a city without character, and is fast becoming truly metropolitan.

We arrived in Pakistan on a whirlwind tour of Nepal,(2 days)then blasted through India(3 nights) then straight from Lahore to Islamabad (Sorry Baban, we would have said hello if the timing was right!!).
