Islamabad’s city administration has announced the temporary closure of several popular hiking trails due to safety risks posed by ongoing heavy rainfall in the capital.
According to an official notification, Trail 2, Trail 3, Trail 4, Trail 5, and the trail located behind Saidpur Village will remain closed from September 1 until further notice.
Authorities said the decision was taken to protect citizens from potential hazards such as slippery paths, falling rocks, and landslides.
Islamabad’s hiking trails, particularly those in the Margalla Hills, attract hundreds of hikers daily and are considered a major recreational attraction for both locals and tourists. However, seasonal rains often increase risks for trail users.
The administration has requested citizens to exercise caution during the rainy spell and to stay updated through official announcements.
