Overview

Daman-e-Koh, meaning "skirt of the mountain", is a terraced viewpoint partway up the Margalla Hills, offering the classic panoramic view over Islamabad's grid-planned sectors, Faisal Mosque and Rawal Lake in the distance. It's the single most-visited viewpoint in the capital, especially at sunset.

History

Daman-e-Koh was developed as part of Islamabad's broader master-planned green-space network within the Margalla Hills National Park, designed to give the new capital an accessible viewpoint over the city as it grew below.
