Itinerary description

T5 fire line is an immense experience. Unlike other routes on T5, it offers a lot of panoramic views of Islamabad especially constitution avenue.
I had to cut the hike short due to heat.

In 2020, just during Corona period, I went on T5 for the first time and took an unknown and narrow route. Which I later realized was a forbidden route with several red tags on the route to forbid the people taking that.

Local took that route often and on this day I saw some people hiking up from that route so I decided to hike down using that route. I call it the forbidden route.
