Margalla Hills

The Margalla Hills are a range of hills to the north of Islamabad in Pakistan. They are located directly behind the Faisal Mosque, the largest mosque in the world, and are particularly suitable for hiking or to visit the city. The best time for this is the winter, when little rain falls and the days are pleasant on the temperature here.

Flora and Fauna

The hilly landscape is interesting for hikers in particular because of its flora and fauna. So it is in the wooded hills around one of the last examples of the Western Himalayan evergreen forest. The fauna includes the Indian leopard, the rhesus monkey and the Grey Goral. The avifauna is rich in this area.
