Hi Readers,
Best wishes from Islamabad. I hope everyone reading this will be doing well. Islamabad is one of the beautiful capitals in the world. There some famous hiking trails in Islamabad’s Margalla Hills. Trail 3 is the second most visited and famous trail of Margalla Hills. Once upon a time, I used to go hiking daily on trail 3 but now due to my busy life I am going once or twice a month.
Hiking is a very healthy activity and I will suggest to everyone if you have time go for a hike at least once a week if daily is not possible for you. I meet many strangers during hiking which are now my best friends. Hiking will not only give you health but it will also give you a wealth of friends as well. I think those are really wealthy who have maximum friends.
One of the most famous and old hiking tracks in Islamabad is Trail 3. It starts from the Margalla road sector F-6. The trail is exhausting to some extent, due to steep hills. The course will lead you to the which goes up to the Viewpoint and is about a 30 - 50 min. track. After the Viewpoint, you can continue on for another easy-going 45 - 60 mins and reach the Pir Sohawa, where you can choose from 2 restaurants for food, The Monal and La Montana. In totality, it is approximately a one-hour thirty-minute walk.
