35 days in Islamabad Itinerary

The country's capital since 1963, Islamabad has the look and feel of a planned administrative city because, by and large, that's exactly what it is.

Venture out of the city with trips to Hassan Abdal (Gurdawara Punja Sahib & Karakoram Highway), Rawalpindi (Murree Brewery, Poonch House, & more) and Murree (Iqbal Municipal Library, the Mall Muree, & more). There's lots more to do: explore the striking landscape at Margalla Hills, pause for some photo ops at Pakistan monument, wander the streets of Saidpur Village, and see the interesting displays at Lok Virsa Museum.

Expect a daytime high around 39°C in September, and nighttime lows around 26°C. On the 16th (Wed), wrap the sightseeing up by early afternoon so you can travel back home.
