The Margalla Hills of Islamabad are the continuation of the Himalayan mountain range. The soil on the hill is fertile and completely covered with green trees, herbaceous plants, and rocks. The forest grown around the hills is the natural habitat for a variety of animals and birds. The forestry department of Pakistan and the authorities have made several efforts to revive tourism in this area. Every year, many private clubs along with the authorities conduct a hiking excursion to fetch up the importance of the Margalla Hills among all age groups. Tourist departments have made it possible for people to visit the forest, hike about safely, and explore the natural resort.

People who want to experience hiking and overnight camping can come here as it is the safest place for the purpose. There are eight trails that vary in distances to hike in Margalla hills and are assigned with numbers, Trails # 1,2,3,4, 5, and 6. The remaining two tracks are named; the Saidpur trail, and Bari Imam Trail.
