In addition to the sports complex, the CDA has also decided to restore the ancient route of Alexander the Great, which connects Shah Allah Ditta to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa up to the limits of Islamabad.
The restoration of this historic trail will not only promote tourism but also preserve the cultural heritage of the area.
Furthermore, the CDA has also planned to restore Trail 8 and build a new trail from the Eight Buddha Caves to the Buddha Stupa.
The restoration of these trails will provide an opportunity for nature lovers and hikers to explore the scenic beauty of the Margalla Hills.
