@faheemboy
as I mentioned in the opening paragraph, I found the source of water and that was a rock. Two regular hikers also said that its clean. I drank the water and I am still fine P.S, I will also post the picture of that source rock. So keep watching this trhead
@Vcheng
Thanks
@m_waqas
Not much, I was expecting snakes as I read that this part of Margallas has a lot of snake species. But I did heard and saw beautiful birds. Couldn't take a snap of them because they were fast While returning, I saw few monkeys on trail 3.

This is the source of Water stream.

Due to Haze and direction of sun, the pictures of Islamabad are not clear

This is the end point of trail#5 which exits on a point between Monal and Hazara/NWFP/Khyber Pakhtunkhua's border.
Heading towards Monal where Trail#3 Ends

@Zahid135
Thanks

@all
Here's the start/end of Trail#3. As I said before, the atmosphere of Islamabad on that day was very hazy, thats why couldn't capture good enough pics.

Nice photos. I remember a time when there was NO haze over Islamabad, but those days are now sadly long gone.

saadtn1 (saadtn1) 2010-10-08 01:29:06 +0500 #34

@Vcheng
Agreed. But still you can get a clear atmosphere after rain.
@All

Guys I went again for hiking today. Luckily I saw a lot of beautiful birds. Unfortunately I could take snap of only 3. Have a look.
