The city is sheltered by the Margalla Hills, the foothills of the Himalayas and the home of rare species of leopard, deer, birds, and even porcupines. Several hiking paths end at Daman-e-Koh, a picnic spot with a splendid view of the entire city, including the massive modernist Faisal Mosque and even the Rawal Dam. A guided tour to Islamabad includes the modern buildings, religious places, Old village of Saidpur, couple Museums and visit to Monal is not included in the itinerary but we can take them on request.
