Beauty gets doubled when nature is combined with modern architecture. Islamabad is the world's second most beautiful capital, designed uniquely and made eco-friendly. This city has a lot to offer, an eye-catching view, a peaceful environment, developed infrastructure, clean roads, and super cool people.
One of the most must-visit destinations here is the Shakarparlyan Hills and Pakistan monument, wherefrom once could see the whole city at a time and can also get to know about the history and culture of Pakistan, by visiting Lokvirsa, and the historical museum.

This hill has a great importance in the history of Pakistan. There is a small monument to mark the spot where President Ayub Khan stood with other members and decided that this will be new capital of Pakistan. There used to be a village here with same name. On left side of the hill is Pakistan monument and on the right side it is a garden now called "International Friendship Garden". Here there are sections where trees were planted by different dignitaries from various countries and a symbol of green friendship. But these sections are closed for public and only you can see the trees and plants and with the description plate at the bottom of each. From here at different points one can see the views of Islamabad. Also it's a nice place for walk and relaxation. Parking is available on site and a restaurant with few cafes are also there. There are few joy rides as well. The area is well maintained. The place is usually crowded on weekends. People used to sit here and read books while having tea or coffee but not anymore. It is one of the oldest tourist spot in Islamabad.

Overlooking the whole of islamabad, rawalpindi and rawal lake, the hillock is easily accessable both by car and walking. The monument building( a sign of China -pak friendship) on top is quite attractive. Refreshments stalls are available at different places.Green lawns and numerous kinds of trees are all around. Best location for taking bird eye view of sorrounding area.

Considered the oldest tourist spot and Located at over 600 meters near Zero point the short length of hills are opposite to the imposing Margalla range but almost in the centre of the Capital. The spot gives a good view of the sectors and areas around Islamabad as well as the hills encircling. A section is reserved for tree plantation by foreign dignitaries visiting Pakistan.

Shakarpariyan Hills are closer to Zero Point and one can convenienetly climb up to the spot. besides having beautiful view of the city, I love the route moving up the place especially in the evening once so many people are using the foot route. After last light even a better view of the city can be seen.

Shakarpariyan is one of most beautiful areas of Islamabad. There is a long winding old road along a mountain side that takes you from the Islamabad Highway to the 7th Avenue which (despite being full of potholes and a bumpy ride) is a pleasurable experience. It is a good place to visit in the winter, spring or autumn season when the sun is forgiving and the hills are in full color whether green leaves blossing or the brown leaves falling from the trees. Along on the main road, there is a sign for a very old Lotus Lake along with this is a pathway which is a few kilometers walk but is a pathway made of bricks between a row of trees and is a very soothing experience. Please make sure that you go there during the day and return to your car before sunset or before it turns dark. Apart from there, there are a couple of interesting attractions in Shakarpariyan hills including a museum and a few cafes. Overall, that particular walkway is a hidden jewel of the hills which you must tread on if you are ever near these hills.

The region is blessed with tremendous amounts of grace and natural beauty. Shakarpariyan Hills located almost inside Islamabad, Pakistan are undoubtedly a very fine natural landscape comprising of picturesque mountainside and great panoramic views of Islamabad on one side and glimpses of Murree hills and other areas on the other.
The best thing about visiting Shakarpariyan is that even in the extreme heat of June in this part of South Asia, the hills are a welcome relief and a very pleasant breeze that keeps the temperatures to an enjoyable level is experienced continuously.
