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.
