Early history...

Islamabad located on Pothohar plateau is considered one of the earliest sites of human settlements in Asia.

According to wiki how,
Some of the earliest Stone Age artefacts in the world have been found on the plateau, dating from 100,000 to 500,000 years ago. Rudimentary stones recovered from the terraces of the Soan River testify to the endeavours of early man in the inter-glacial period.[22] Items of pottery and utensils dating back to prehistory have been found.[23]. Excavations have revealed evidence of a prehistoric culture.Recently, in 2015/16 Federal Department of Archaeology and Museums with the financial support of National Fund for Cultural Heritage Islamabad carried out first archaeological excavation in Islamabad and exposed the remains of a Buddhist stupa situated at Ban Faqiran near Shah Allah Ditta Caves. This stupa belongs to 2nd to 5th century AC . [24] Dr. Abdul Ghafoor Lone was the team leader of the project. Relics and human skulls have been found dating back to 5000 BC that show this region was home to Neolithic people who settled on the banks of the Swaan River,[21] .

Margalla hills Trails

There are very few capital cities in world with such close proximity to nature as Islamabad have. The Margalla Hills are the continuation of the Himalayan mountain range. The soil on the hill is fertile and completely covered with green trees
and rocks.Walking on these trails are ideal but don't underestimate ,theses are quite big and steep hills.There are many trails but popolar walks are trail 1,3,5 and zoo trail.Google earth gives a good way to orientate you.
