Just under the marghalla hills a perfect spot for football. Excellent view.
Its the utmost Enjoyable Nature Walk right at Islamabad
One of best places to come family
It was excellent place to see. Beautiful tracks, lush green trees, natural forest
Just loved it, its a beautiful park.
Its named as park. But technically it isnt a park. Just a plain ground beside Mosque
Trail 6 starts just behind Faisal Mosque in Islamabad. It moves through a thick jungle between the two mountain features behind Faisal Mosque and slowly climbs up, reaching the top of the mountain behind Faisal Mosque at Jabbi Gali. From Jabbi Gali, one can go down to Village Talhaar (western route) or move east and hit the Pir Sohawa Road at the point where the Talhar Road originates from main Pir Sohawa Road. The Monal Restaurant is just 1 km from that point.This is a very scenic trail, however, for initial one hour or so one is walking in a thick jungle which provides excellent opportunity to observe birds, animals and plants but unlike Trail 3 and Trail 5, this trail does not provide a view of Islamabad city. When one reaches the top of ridge line, its a fascinating forest out there with lot of pine trees and large size palms (Phoenix rupicola).It takes two hours to reach the top of ridge line and from there on. one starts descending towards either village Talhar (western direction) or towards Road Pir Sohawa (eastern direction). For a physically fit person, it will take 1.5 to 2 hours to reach Jabbi Gali and around 2 to 3 hours to hit Pir Sohawa Road. A person with good physical fitness can reach The Monal Restaurant on foot in 2.5 to 3.5 hours.If you are physically not very fit, please do not go on this trail as the climb at places is quite steep and you will be quite far away from a road. Wearing proper hiking shoes is essential and one must carry at least 2 liters of water. Carrying a few snacks will make the hike more enjoyable during breaks but it is not a must requirement. Please avoid wearing half sleeve shirts and shorts too as at many places jungle is thick and one can get easily bruised while walking through the bushes.If you start from Faisal Mosque early in the morning, you have excellent opportunities for bird watching. If you are lucky (and also walk quietly), you may get a glimpse of an odd Monal Pheasant too. We saw one during our hike on 16 Dec 2016. Beware of the wild boars at the start point and in plain areas but as you climb up the mountains, there are no wild boars.There are at least two streams in the area which are operative during December and January too. One can take water from there as well, it is clean.For those who love hiking and do not mind doing tough hikes, this is an excellent trail. Reaching The Monal after 3 to 4 hours of hiking and having a sumptuous breakfast there will be the pinnacle of this visit.
