Itinerary description

Trail 5’s fire line is one of the least visited trails is Islamabad. A little away from the starting point, you would need to turn right from the 0.4 km foot stone mark.
You will pass by old camping sight and dense alpine forest followed by a mild hike.
Finally a meadow, which is a good picnic spot, at the foot of fire line.
The hike starts from there.

It has multiple stretches with steeper hikes in the start and much less steep afterwards.

It meets at a junctions with all other routes of trail 5.

You can proceed as you wish from there.
For me, I took the U turn from the junction and came back via 5C

1. Trail 5 to the end
2. Trail 5 to trail 3
3. Trail 5 (back to starting point, via common 5C route?
