How to reach
Islamabad International Airport (ISB) is 25km from the city — direct international flights and a dense domestic network. Motorways link to Lahore (M-2) and Peshawar (M-1).
Getting around
Careem, InDrive and Uber operate widely. The Metro Bus runs Islamabad–Rawalpindi. Renting a car makes sense for Margalla trailheads.
Best time to visit
