I spent 4 days in Islamabad at the start of my month-long trekking holiday in Pakistan. In spite of stomach problems that had hit me 3 days before leaving home (shattering my confidence for the start of the trip - my first OS trip ever, AND not being with my parents!), I loved Islamabad!
Fellow travllers have commented that Islamabad is too broing especially when compared to its twin-city Rawalpindi. I can accept this comment from seasoned travellers, but for me I think Islamabad was a good introduction to Pakistan.........not too full on, but plenty to keep my Australian sensibilities interested!
Check out my tips on Islamabad which I will be adding to over the next few weeks!
- In a nutshell:Good place to get to know Pakistan for a first-time traveller!

Good work and interesting pic in shalwar kameez :)
I like the outfit! it doesnt matter what you paid , what matters is you like it and it reminds you of your trip and that matters most and I am sure you had a great trip!
Fascinating city and insight into the area. Great job!
Excellent Islamabad pages... Traveling on those buses sounds pretty tight but exciting.. Even though it was recommended to us not to try them in Yerevan, Armenia because a taxi is a lot more comfortable, we did anyway and it is an experience.. Thanks.
Looks like an interesting place to visit , great pages !!
The resturant 's name that you can't seem to recollect is most likely "Jahangir Resturant". Conviniently called "Jahangir's". Common hangout for foreigners. Does it ring a bell?
Great traveling in Pakistan....... You have a very nice page with a lot of pics.
Great page on Islamabad! I haven't seen much of this fascinating city, when I was in Pakistan.
Isn't pakistan just faaaantastic? Especially 'hot spots' ;) located in F-7/3 sector of islamabad...
dude try to recall was it Jehangir or Lasania because i think it ought to be one of those!
