Pakistan Monument

The Pakistan Monument is a national monument and heritage museum located on the Shakarparian Hills in Islamabad, Pakistan, aimed to symbolise national unity. The complex covers an area of 2.8 hectares and is a popular picnic destination.

The monument is shaped as a blooming flower petal-shaped structure with the inner walls of the petals inscribed with the outlines of Lahore Fort, Badshahi Mosque, Khyber Pass and Minar-e-Pakistan. The monument opens onto a marble terrace providing a bird’s-eye view of Islamabad City.The four main petals of the monument represent the four provinces (Balochistan, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, Punjab, and Sindh), while the three smaller petals represent the three territories (Gilgit-Baltistan, Azad Kashmir and the Tribal Areas).

Hi Local Guides,

We all Nepal Local Guides would like to propose that we celebrate Month of September as an “International Month of Monuments” here in world wide Local Guides Community. Please join in the discussion here

Monuments are not only architectures, idols, temples, bridges, old buildings, and masterpieces of hard work and craftsmanship but also the milestones down the road of the development of Human Race as a whole.

Our monuments tell us what we are and tell great stories about our forefathers and inspire us to achieve more.

Let’s bring back the spotlight on these hotspots.

Here’s what we do :

• We organize a photo walk in an area where monuments are plenty.
• Add missing notable monuments in Google Maps.
• Add pictures/videos/360s of Monuments in the respective listings in the Google Maps

Wikimedia Community is also celebrating this month of September as a photography competition Wiki Loves Monuments in 45 countries all over the world. In Nepal, Local Guides community and Wikimedia Communities are working together on this.

Bhaktapur Durbar Square and Renovation work still on going post Earthquake.
