Pir Sohawa – Gem of Islamabad

Many people from all around Pakistan view Islamabad as a ‘stopover’ for larger tourist destinations such as Murree or Nathia Gali. Known for being a ‘sleepy city’, Islamabad has the reputation of not being as ‘exciting’ as other places in the country.

However, just 35 minutes away from the main capital city, a gem awaits. Pir Sohawa is one of the most flourishing tourist sites in Islamabad, offering picturesque views, and countless opportunities for adventure. Locals will argue that Pir Sohawa is well-known – however, outside of Islamabad, there are very few people that recognize its potential as a holiday destination.

Pir Sohawa is climbing to fame due to its hiking opportunities. People travel from across the nation – and even from outside it – to encounter the lush green forests and dazzling views atop the sloping peaks. Waterfalls and streams are strewn throughout, offering peace and tranquility to its visitors.

The road to Pir Sohawa is practically as exciting as the destination. Should you choose the make the twisting drive up, you’ll pass by famous eateries, parks, and picnic points.

Pir Sohawa is also rapidly becoming one of the hottest areas for residential developments. Pine City Resorts is one of the few established developers that is bringing a whole new meaning to Pir Sohawa’s landscape – one of luxury and comfort. With farmhouses, lodges, and serviced apartments being developed in a secure, gated community – outfitted with modern amenities and facilities – Pine City Resorts is offering an experience of indulgence that brings an entirely new perspective to mountain living.
