Itinerary description
|
We left Islamabad through Embassy Road in the direction of Margalla Hills.
This avenue reaches a junction. We take the road that goes down and that is signposted as Margalla Road.
We continue straight until we reach the entrance to the National Park. This entrance gives access to the Trail 3 but also indicates that on our right there is a path that leads to the Trail 5. We take this trail.
Following this we will reach a wide track (trail 5). We take left and begin the ascent.
The track comes to the junction of a stream that comes down from the Ficus waterfall that we will visit later.
From here the path becomes narrower and the ascent starts winding until we reach a pass.
Arrived at the hill, we turn right towards the Restaurant and after reaching the summit, we descend towards the Restaurant and the road in less than 1 km.
After traveling about 500 m along the road leaving the restaurant on our left, we take a narrow track on our left that goes up to the viewpoint.
We descend and undo what we walk, before reaching the stream, we ascend towards the Ficus waterfall and from here we go down to the information center. We take again the link to trail 3 and from here we return to the embassy area.

ہم نے مارگلا پہاڑوں کی سمت میں اسلام آباد چھوڑ دیا. یہ ایونٹ ایک جنکشن تک پہنچتا ہے. ہم سڑک لے جاتے ہیں جو نیچے جاتا ہے اور مارگلا روڈ کے طور پر نشان لگا دیا جاتا ہے. جب تک ہم قومی پارک کے دروازے تک پہنچنے تک ہم براہ راست جاری رہیں گے. یہ داخلہ ٹریل 3 تک رسائی دیتا ہے لیکن یہ بھی بتاتا ہے کہ ہمارے دائیں جانب ایک راستہ ہے جسے ٹریل 5 کی طرف جاتا ہے. ہم یہ راستہ لیتے ہیں. اس کے بعد ہم ایک وسیع ٹریک تک پہنچیں گے (پگڈنڈی 5). ہم بائیں لے جاتے ہیں اور پہچان شروع کرتے ہیں. ٹریک ایک ندی کے جشن میں آتا ہے جو فوکس آبشار سے آتا ہے جسے ہم بعد میں دیکھیں گے. یہاں سے راستہ تنگ ہو جاتا ہے اور جب تک ہم ایک پاس تک پہنچ جاتے ہیں تو اس وقت تک پہاڑ نہیں ہوتا ہے. پہاڑی پر پہنچے، ہم ریسٹورانٹ کی طرف رخ کرتے ہیں اور سربراہی تک پہنچنے کے بعد، ہم ریسٹورانٹ اور 1 کلو میٹر سے کم سڑک پر �
