Daman-e-koh Islamabad
Posted on: April 21, 201081 comments so far (is that a lot?)
Damn-e-Koh Islamabad is one of the most beautiful and peaceful place that I have visited. One of those places where no matter how many times you go , you just can’t have enough ….
The drive to that place through the mountains is AWESOME … the trees on both the side of the road , the sharp turns of the road and the scenes of the mountains make the experience magical …
Today the weather was just great !!! and I had this in mind that we should go out somewhere … but then Hasan Wasti Sahab too suggested that I should capture the moment … and for a guy like me whose always ready to go out ….
So we went to Damn-e-Koh and it was windy , cloudy , Magic was in the air ….. I never experienced so much wind @ that place , and the clouds were roaring like they are angry with us or something … 
Anyways hope you guys like the pictures , though these pictures can’t bring the magic alive but still you can enjoy the weather ….
A few pictures I have also added from Wikipedia just to let you guys know the beauty of the place ….
Will be adding a post about it … and will add a video too as that place deserves as much attention and appreciation as possible..
Good job CDA and Govt. for development of such a beautiful tourist spot …

Here are some insight more info about daman-e-koh:
Daman-e-Koh is a popular viewing point in Islamabad. Its name is a conjunction of two words in Urdu: Daman, which means center and Koh, which means hill. Daman-e-Koh therefore meaning center of the mountain. It can also be interpreted as hem of the mountain.
The viewpoint is located north of Islamabad in the middle of the Margalla Hills. It has two picnic spots, known as the “north” and “south” viewpoints, with parking available at both spots. On the north side, there is a small cafe for tea, drinks and snacks. On the south side, there is a restaurant located for lunch and dinner. The south side is a sightseeing spot from where panoramic views of Islamabad are available during the day and night. An informational board, providing basic information about Islamabad, is available. There is a plan to construct a chairlift from Daman-e-Koh to Pir Sohawa which is due to start in the near future.
In 2007, the Capital Development Authority (CDA) further developed the viewpoint by upgrading the restaurant and introducing electric-powered cars to transport tourists to and from the parking area.
An overview of Faisal Masjid and the seventh avenue is so clear from the Daman-e-Koh. We can also have a nice scene of Rawal Lake in the South. A clear view of whole Islamabad city have an attraction for the tourist of the Daman-e-Koh.
A hiking path connects the zoo park located at the base of the Margalla Hills to Daman-e-Koh.
