Pakistan is unique in several ways, with a rich history and cultural heritage.
The country was the site for one of the world's earliest human settlements,
the great prehistoric Indus Valley Civilisation, the crucible of ancient empires,
religions and cultures.
Islamabad is a city of wide, tree-lined streets, large houses, elegant public
buildings and well-organised bazaars. Traffic jams and crowds are rare, and
narrow lanes and slums are few and far between. Sidewalks are shaded and safe
behind rows of flame trees, jacaranda and hibiscus. Roses, jasmine and bougainvillea
fill the many parks, and scenic viewpoints show the city to its best advantage.
It is a modern and carefully planned city. There are ample opportunities
for walking, jogging, hiking and trekking around Islamabad in the Margalla
Hills, which is a delight for those keen on short and long hikes. Islamabad
is also known for its gardens, lakes, museums, the Zoo, art galleries and the
flora and the fauna.
Infants are not provided with a seat. If your baby is more than 6 months old, you may book a seat for him/her listing him/her as a “child”. More information is available at carriage of infants.
