Pakistan's Nicest People 🇵🇰 First Impressions of Islamabad

After winding our way through the Hunza Valley, hiking to Fairy Meadows, and playing with snow on the Pakistan-China border, we have made our way back to Islamabad! This city is amazing. In today’s video, we spend the entire day exploring Islamabad. We are hot and sweaty, but there is so much to see and do here. We can’t wait to share our first impressions with you. We begin the day in search of Pakistan’s famous cheese parathas. Then, we head to the beautiful gardens of Daman-E-Koh. These gardens are located in the foothills of the Margalla Hills. There are food vendors, Tuck Shops, kid rides, camels, and monkeys at this expansive park. We came here for the views, but ended up having tea with a super kind family, the kids shot a BB gun, and we watched a monkey drink a Fanta. After exploring the gardens, we made our way to the gorgeous Shah Faisal Masjid. The Faisal Mosque is Pakistan’s National Mosque and the 6th largest mosque in the world. It was an amazing day, and we finally wrap it up at the Sheltons Rezidor Hotel. We met so many kind and welcoming people, our first impression of Islamabad is that it must be the friendliest city in Pakistan. ‪@LukeDamant‬ Thanks for the cheese paratha recommendation (3:26)!
