I was very impressed by the lovely gardens around the city. I didn't even visit the recognised established garden such as the 'Rose and Jasmine Garden' across the road from my hotel, but just walking around the city there were lovely parks and gardens.

Particularly nice were the gardens along Constitution Avenue where all the diplomatic missions, the presidency and parliament are located. Considering I was travelling in the middle of Summer and the weather was always dry they were really impressive!

When we went up to the lookout of Daman-e-koh in the hills behind Islamabad the view over the city showed just how green a city it is - I guess because it is a relatively new and planned city there has been provision for gardens, which tend to get overlooked with the ad-hoc development of cities generally!
