The day begins on a cool Margalla foothill with the city of Islamabad unfolding below and pine-lined Murree waiting higher up the ridge. Early light slides across the Faisal Mosque’s angular silhouette while the Margalla Hills press in like a green wall; by afternoon the Patriata chairlift lifts travelers through a ceiling of tall pines to a lookout that dares you to blink.
