Daman e Koh
Daman-e-Koh is a hilltop garden north of Islamabad. It is in the center of the Margalla Hills. The name is a fusion of two Persian words, which collectively denote 'foothills'. It is about 2400 ft above sea level and about 500 ft above Islamabad. The area is a popular destination for both residents and tourists.
Tourist treats are a popular attraction for monkeys. Leopards are reported to descend from higher hills of Murree during the winter months.

Access
Daman-e-Koh is located on the route to Pir Sohawa, which is approximately 3600 ft above sea level. Since the road is slender and winding, it is cited as a reason for traffic jams for the lack of public transportation alternatives. Environmental concerns led to the suspension of the chairlift from Daman-e-Koh to Pir Sohawa.
From Trail 2, it is possible to access the viewpoint by hiking.
