Daman-e-Koh
Daman-e-Koh () is a hilltop garden north of Islamabad. It is in the center of the Margalla Hills. The name is a fusion of two Persian words, which collectively denote 'foothills'. It is about 2400 ft above sea level and about 500 ft above Islamabad. The area is a popular destination for both residents and tourists. Tourist treats are a popular attraction for monkeys. Leopards are reported to descend from higher hills of Murree during the winter months. Airblue Flight 202 crashed near here on 28 July 2010. Access 
Daman-e-Koh is located on the route to Pir Sohawa, which is approximately 3600 ft above sea level. Since the road is slender and winding, it is cited as a reason for traffic jams for the lack of public transportation alternatives. Environmental concerns led to the suspension of the chairlift from Daman-e-Koh to Pir Sohawa. From Trail 2, it is possible to access the viewpoint by hiking. Panoramic view of Islamabad 

From the southern spot, there is a panoramic view of Islamabad. Faisal Mosque, Seventh Avenue, and Rawal Lake are all visible to the visitors. In addition, there are observational telescopes installed. Furthermore, there is a substantial sign nearby, which displays an authentic map of Islamabad. Renovation 

Electric-powered vehicles and an expanded car-parking area were added by the Capital Development Authority. References in literature
