Shakarparian National Park

Trip to Islamabad is incomplete without a trip to Shakarparian National Park located in the heart of Islamabad. Here you can find famous Trees planted by almost all the head of states who have visited Islamabad since late 60’s to date. But these sections are closed for public and only you can see the trees and plants and with the description plate at the bottom of each. There used to be a village here with same name. On left side of the hill is Pakistan monument and on the right side it is a garden now called International Friendship Garden. The place is usually crowded on weekends. People used to sit here and read books while having tea or coffee but not anymore. It is one of the oldest tourist spot in Islamabad. This place is a good get away to relax and for taking long walks. It has natural beauty as well as small cafes and a restaurant for eating out. You can also visit the Pakistan Monument and enjoy the calm and peaceful environment in the sorroundings. There are bbq pits as well if you want to hang out with friends and family. Overall a nice place.

Adjacent to the monument of neighboring countries, this mountain is a large botanical garden, shaded by trees, but the most prominent in the park is indeed the head of state trees planted during the visit of the heads of state to Pakistan, including the trees planted by Premier Zhou when he visited Pakistan in 1964.

The park is central to the beautiful capital city of Islamabad. Pakistan monument and zoo is beautiful besides food stalls and pkay areas. Viewsof Islamabad are breath taking.

Shakar parian national park is clean green. It offers nice hang out time for people of all ages.

You can see the whole Islamabad, it must be great if you go to the night view at night
