Surrounded by Margalla Hills, part of the Himalayan foothills, Islamabad was purpose built in the 1960s to replace Karachi as the capital of Pakistan. The city is well-known for its high standard of living and bountiful greenery including the Margalla Hills National Park and Daman e Koh. A must see whilst in the city, is the imposing modernist Faisal Mosque, the largest mosque in South Asia and fifth largest in the world. Other hotspots include Pakistan Monument Museum, Saidpur Village and Lake View Park.
At OROKO, we’ve been to Pakistan many times and have continuously returned to explore its chaotic cities, rural heartlands, and remote mountain villages. It is a place that is extremely rewarding, but also a destination where specialist knowledge is vital. Each one of our itineraries are bespoke and tailored to you, so think of this as just a sneak-peak of just how brilliant an OROKO holiday to Pakistan can be.
