Islamabad, as never seen before

I have had to go to Margalla hills and then hike just to capture the sunrise.

Here I take you through a visual journey of Islamabad never seen before. For some of these photos I have had to go to Margalla hills and then hike just to capture the sunrise. On a clear day with some clouds the views of sunrise and sunset are stunning.
