Islamabad is one of the youngest modern cities in the world and a capital with traditional Islamic characteristics. It is located on the Potewar Plateau in the northeast at an altitude of over 600 meters, backed by the Malgala Mountains, facing the clear Lake Laval to the east, and a lush green hill to the south. The climate is pleasant and the scenery is beautiful, with a distance of 1300 kilometers from the sea. The original capital was Karachi. In 1959, the Pakistani government decided to build a new capital here. It was officially relocated here in 1967 and was basically completed in 1970. The population is 2.3 million (2023). The Shakbari Mountain in the Rose and Jasmine Park in the south of the city is an important tourist destination.

Three fifths of the entire area is mountainous and hilly, with deserts along the southern coast and continuous plateau pastures and fertile land extending northward. The highest peak in the country is K2, with an elevation of 8611 meters. The Himalayas, Karakoram Mountains, and Hindu Kush Mountains, three world-renowned mountain ranges, converge in northwest Pakistan, forming a unique landscape. The Indus River, originating from China, enters the Pakistani border and flows 2300 kilometers from north to south before finally emptying into the Arabian Sea.
