Wow,wow,wow! How amazing. So clean, so well-organized, I love its setting!

Nice urban setting, I love the traditional architecture, the nature surrounding it makes it so mystical, a lot of modern urbanity in some angles and a lot of good-looking people as well.

I hope Islamabad experiences a boom soon enough.

Fantastic pics. It looks much cleaner and more modern that I had anticipated and its situated in such a beautiful sitting. I had always thought that India was further along in the development spectrum but now I'm not so sure. It was also interesting to see the freeways, Olive Garden and Dunkin Donuts in Islamabad.
