Overview
Islamabad is one of the world's most deliberately planned capitals — a city of wide boulevards, forested hills and striking modern architecture set against the backdrop of the Margalla Hills. This two-day private tour combines the best of the capital with a visit to Taxila, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most important archaeological landscapes in Asia. Taxila was a major centre of Gandharan civilisation and a crossroads of the ancient Silk Road.
Highlights
Day-by-Day Itinerary
Airport or hotel pickup followed by a morning exploring Islamabad's landmark architecture. Faisal Mosque — designed by Turkish architect Vedat Dalokay and completed in 1986 — is one of the largest mosques in the world and the defining image of the capital. You then drive up to Daman-e-Koh for a panoramic view over the city and the Margalla Hills. After lunch, you visit the Pakistan Monument and the adjacent Lok Virsa Heritage Museum, which holds an excellent collection of traditional crafts, textiles and musical instruments from across Pakistan. The afternoon ends at Saidpur Village — a Mughal-era settlement that has been carefully restored within the city limits.
