Pakistan monument, Islamabad

Just a really beautiful monument, so elegantly and somehow futuristically designed and sits atop of a great view of the city. There is a viewing deck just below the monument, which is another great area to relax and look at the busy city ahead. This is perfect for a sunrise/sunset view. It’s great to see locals here have a public space to sit and relax, spend time with friends and family. It can be very busy, depending on the time and day of visit. However, it is a large space as well and you should be able to find an area where you can relax.

It is as good as expected. It's humongous. Some complaints though: Wear and tear is not being repaired in a timely manner. There is a general lack of detail in regular maintenance. Given the hot climate of Pakistan, there was little to no seating in shaded areas. No tourist can be expected to constantly be on their feet under scorching sun. It's especially difficult for the elderly and infirm. Gift shop was quite unimpressive. Its inventory was limited and some items on display were even damaged.

The monument was constructed to symbolize the unity of the Pakistani people. It is dedicated to the people of Pakistan who sacrificed their "today" for a better "tomorrow". Its elevation makes the monument visible from across the Islamabad-Rawalpindi metropolitan area and is a popular tourist destination.

It's an excellent place. Right at the Shakarparian. Must take your kids to this place and the museum which is in the same compound right beside the monument and introduce them to pre Islam, advent of islam and independence movement history. Must see the museum which is beside the monument. It has excellent history details, cars, models and pictures. Monument and museum have separate tickets to be bought which are Rs 20 and Rs 50 respectively. There is a souvenir and refreshment shop inside the boundary wall. Great place to visit and take you foreigner friends.

A nice place to visit, whether it being for the views or for wanting to learn more about the history of Pakistan. When visiting the monument itself, make sure to pay attention to the smaller details that are carved into the sculpture. There is also a smaller viewpoint behind the monument, so make sure not to miss that either!
