Fascinating place. Have good place for eating near by too.

Nice satellite place, should have your own ride to enjoy. Can do zip_lining and archery nearby. Fun place to spend an evening

Historical Caves & Tree, waterfall, landscapes. Amazing place to visit near D12 Islamabad.

The most beautiful place I have ever seen, ancient trees and caves

A Historical place in Islamabad Margala Mountains which are quite rich in Buddah archeological sites. Plenty of Restaurants are available throughout the the track upto Kanthlan Village.

This place is natural forest covered with alot of trees around having so much beauty at Rainy day which makes you feel so happy and its good place for meditation you can visit there with your families or alone us you feel comfortable but consider it as to go and please dont throw garbage keep clean this place have fun peace

The place is amazing... best for a family day out If you are looking for not so crowded place. You gonna find organic food and best chai here

A historical place. View of Marglla hills is Amazing. must visit this place

‘Sadhu ka Bagh.’ Some of cave walls used to be covered with paintings made from red clay, but nearly all of them have faded away with time. An ancient water well also lies at a few minutes distance from here. Legend has it that the Mughal Emperor Akbar had it constructed, but only its remnants remain. However, natural streams can be found all around the area, heightening the serenity of the village.There are a couple of restaurants for visitors. You could simply drop in at any of them, order lunch and enjoy the breath-taking view of the hills. One such café is Sadhu’s Retreat, which was launched as an open air restaurant, for the visitors to enjoy good quality food. However, with the increasing number of visitors, it has been converted into a recreational area where families, students and colleagues from Rawalpindi and Islamabad come for respite from their daily routines. From Archery and Paint Ball to Trekking, Rock Climbing and Camping facilities, they’ve got it all.

Good historical place with calm environment

Very calm and beautiful site in the city. The place still gives good environment to the visitors. A place to visit with family also. Sweet water chashma is the most attractive place, you cannot get water taste like this anywhere in Islamabad.

Brilliant place, great history and the restaurant has some great views, a mean anda Shami. Wonderful place to spend an evening. Until of course we will mess it with our solution and our monals.

A good place. Some very old caves, a dhaba or two, a restaurant and adventure sports. At a short hike, there is a stupa from Gandhara civilization. A shirt drive further into Margallah hills, there is an old step well ( Baoli) as well that is Saud to be from Sher Shah Suris times (1538-1545 AD).

Road is really rough but place is nice

What a historical place its great experience to visit here

Place is very calm and quite. Good to visit if you have interest in archeology

A place equally beautiful like Nathia Gali

It was very serene ... calm place ...

The ancient garden called Sadhu ka Bagh actually doesnt exist anymore but the place is still called Sadhu Ka Bagh. As per the locals, the garden existed till 80s and contained many trees that were hundreds of years old, mostly mango tree. Somewhere in the 80s the land containing Sadhu ka Bagh was leased to someone by Govt authorities who installed a stone crushing machine at the site and for next more than a decade a stone crushing plant operated on the site.Locals of the area went to court and the case remained subjudice for many years but in vain. Only one tree from the old garden still exists.....rest is all gone. The photos show the current shape of the location where Sadhu ka Bagh once existed.How could we be so negligent towards something that was a national heritage....

This National Park is located near Shahullah Dutta in Islamabad

The place is rich in history needs to be explored more so more info can get out of it..

Beautiful place with a great view. Nice place to hang out with friends

Food below average. Ambiance very good.

A wonderfull experinceMashallah

Just behind Islamabad’s D-12 sector, a dilapidated road leads to Sadhu ka Bagh, a garden over 2,400 years old at the foot of the Margalla Hills in the Shah Allah Ditta village.History buffs and nature enthusiasts brave the road for what lies ahead: old banyan trees, ancient meditation caves for Hindu saints and a well of spring water.The origin of the caves are believed to be either Buddhist or Hindu; some older tales suggest that Hindu sadhus came to the area to meditate, and a garden spread across acres of land near the caves at the foot of the Margallas.

It is a nice site, but I wouldnt drive far off course for this UNLESS you actually learn the story of this place. I was told this after having gone here.

Excellent place for spending time with oneself

Its not yet popular with the crowd but is a good place to visit.

Archaeological side worth handout visitin the mountains and explore the area :)

The Baba living there is great with all his stories that how rich he is

Good place for recreation.

Nice place to hang out

Ideal picnic spot for one day trip.

It was a good place. I have enjoy it a lot over there also the view was awesome. French fries was so yummy Its really good for a family and friends.

Old caves, nothing much to explore. One road goes up to Khanpur Dam, there from the top of Margalla hills beautiful view of Islamabad can be seen.

Nice and old views of Islamabad. Peace and serenity is here. Beautiful zoo owned by a retired army officer and a land lord. Must visit with family and friends

Perfect place for open air dinner. Paint ball is also a good option here

Serene . As soon as you turn off your engine you know you are somewhere special. The area around the cave is covered by tall trees and the cliff itself, so the temperature here is quite nice.

Sadhu ka Bagh is a wonderful place to visit. This place is unique because of the intrinsic scenic beauty as cool breeze in summer evenings touches the heart of a visitor. Calm and cool environment takes you to a world of peace and solitude. Terraces are available for functions under supervision of Green Hill where people can celebrate birthday parties etc. Caves have generally been a site of archaeology and reminds us of the people who use to live in, their livelihood was farming and keeping cattle was their need to get milk for nourishment and water still was the source of life which is still there. Nice place to visit on week ends. Sat-Sun before sunset. Security check post is there no worries. Do visit and be relaxed.

.Best place for families,,,pur sakoon mahol..!!

Awesome Historical place still in its original state.Stream of natural mineral water under a 1000 year old Oak tree.

Caves having historical background and impressive appearance but lack of necessary infrastructure for visitors and tourest

Beautiful place. Islamabad people must visit. A historic place with ancient trees and dreamy environment. Good restaurants have been established around the place.

Sadhu ka Bagh is reputed to be an ancient Buddhist place of worship. There is a small complex consisting of two or three carved out spaces where the worshipper s are said to have meditated. There is an old Banyan tree up above on the hill with its roots hanging down to and over shadowing a spring. The legend is that there used to be a subterranean passage that went to the other side of the hills. There is an old mango tree planted nearby, people say it was planted by the Mughal emperor Humayun. The garden is nowhere in sight and rest of the area is also in a dilapidated state. The nearest village Shah Allah Ditta is on the passage way that lead to Hazara across Margalla hills. The same has been the route for many Invaders and Traveller of times forgotten.

Great place

Future of Islamabad very good place and food quality is outstanding.

Very peaceful place near Islamabad. Great views, food and hospitality

A serene and peaceful place to spend your weekend especially if you live in islamabad. The road for Sadhu da bagh goes from the back of E11. The road is a little cracked but the turns look so eccentric from the top. Actually the road does need alot of repair at various patches but its a place worth going. The view of whole islamabad is breathtaking.

Good spot. Zipline is short and excellent for kids

Friendly people. Gave a fair idea about the history of the place. Spring water was something good.

Great place to visit. No facilities.

Nice place to visit along with friends and family. Excellent views of Islamabad from hill top. Huge dining area with different kind of seating options such as rock benches, Sofas etc. Its got seating available at four levels with nice views. Road isnt paved throughout the Hill top from end of Sector D-12 and its better to return before Sunset.Food is satisfactory. Excellent customer service. I tried Kafta Karahi which was actually 8 seekh kababs along with full size onion and tomato so they were themselves a seekh kabab size. It was served with Chapatis. There were three orders before mine, therefore I got served an hour and few minutes later but later on they told me that theres only one cook and they were also quite apologetic about being late.Unlike Monal bland food, Sadhu Ka Bagh was inexpensive and got a taste.

Lovely place .... Has a few activities as well!

Good place to pay a visit in a one day trip. Old caves and trees and scenic landscape.

The caves, known locally as Sadhu ka Bagh, are located next to the to the shrine and tomb of Shah Allah Ditta, a Mughal-era dervish, in the Margalla Hills—part of the Himalayan foothills—located just north of Islamabad. The caves contain 2,400-year-old Buddhist murals, as well as Buddhist relics dated to the 8th century. According to archaeologists, the caves, and the natural platform-like formations surrounding them, were used for meditation by Buddhist monks, Hindu sadhus, and Muslim ascetics during the Mughal period.

A very beautiful place with historical significance Well maintained by government an ideal place for family visit people from every class enjoy abd visit this piece of nature

Cool place , not very big though

Nice place to visit in day time. Also visit golrra railway when you come here.

The place is amazing, just wait till Road gets perfect.

A place with serene outlook and spiritual tranquility

Enjoyed Chai and Pakora with live folk music

What a lovely place to visit!! Clearly one of the hidden gems of Islamabad city

Other than the gardens and a great view, the site has some caves which according to the locals date back to the Budhist era. These caves were used by monks for meditation and religious rituals. The stories about this place being haunted are far fetched. Some caves were burnt in a fire. This place is fast becoming a tourist hotspot and care needs to br taken to preserve what ever is left of the site. Has a few tuck shops which offer tea, sodas and some munchies.

A new place indeed! Dont go for food around this place. Expensive restaurants. Bring ur own snacks and have a little tea with your snacks around Budha caves

A must visit for archeological livers
