Islamabad
The capital of Pakistan is located against the
backdrop of Margalla Hills, which are part of
the Himalayan mountain range. It is a new city
as its master plan was prepared in 1960. Islamabad
is just 15 km from its older twin city of Rawalpindi.
Rawalpindi
The twin cities Rawalpindi and Islamabad lie against
the backdrop of Margalla Hills on the Potohar
Plateau. On the basis of archaeological discoveries,
archaeologists believe that a distinct culture
flourished on this plateau as far back as 300,000
years. Over the years Rawalpindi has retained
its traditional flavour. Rawalpindi specializes
in handicrafts. The bazaars of the old city offer
exciting bargains.
