The Longest Trans-Provincial Hiking Trail in Pakistan.

Where the Himalayan Foothills meet the city of Islamabad, the Margalla Hills have a number of popular hiking trails. This is the longest and most spectacular running the length of the Margalla Hills ridgeline on a mixture of jeep tracks, technical trails, and paved roads. 

The 44-kilometre trail begins at Summa, in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and stretches to Shah Allah Ditta in Islamabad.

Brilliant. 

The prime trail of Islamabad. I've done it complete once on standard route and twice using a detour to avoid road portion altogether.
