The most famous and oldest hiking track of Islamabad is Trail 3. It starts from the Margalla Road in sector F-6/3. Due to steep hills, the trail is exhausting to some extent. The course leads to the point where it goes up to the Viewpoint and is about a 30–50 minutes track. After the Viewpoint it continues for another easy-going 45 – 60 minutes and reaches the Pir Sohawa, where there are two restaurants for food, ''The Monal'' and ''La Montana''. In total, it is approximately a one-hour and thirty minute walk.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cda.gov.pk/about_islamabad/trails/default.asp|title=Hiking Trail 3|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180711120951/http://www.cda.gov.pk/about_islamabad/trails/default.asp|archive-date=11 July 2018|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Shah Allah Ditta village is a centuries-old village and a union council of the Islamabad Capital Authority. The village is named after a dervish who belonged to the Mughal era. It is estimated to be 650 years old approximately. It is also home to ancient caves that reflects the previous civilizations. The 2500-year-old Buddhist caves at the foot of Margalla Hills are located in west of Taxila, east of Islamabad and in the central area of Khanpur. A spring, a pond and a garden still exist near the Shah Allah Ditta Caves. There are some banyan trees in the garden, while all other fruit trees are gone. The water from the same spring was used to irrigate the garden adjoining the caves. During the Mughal period, when India was the centre of Sufism originating from Arabia and Central Asia, a saint named Shah Allah Ditta stayed in this garden and was entombed here. The place formerly attributed to sadhus, monks, or jogis is today known for the famous Sufi Shah Allah Ditta. A short distance from these caves is also an ancient baoli (stepwell) in the village of Kanthila, which is said to have been built by [[Sher Shah Suri]].<ref>{{Cite news |date=2022-06-09 |title=Shah Allah Ditta caves – relic of ancient Buddhism |url=https://tribune.com.pk/story/2360839/shah-allah-ditta-caves-relic-of-ancient-buddhism |access-date=2023-02-24 |work=The Express Tribune |language=en |archive-date=5 July 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220705020116/https://tribune.com.pk/story/2360839/shah-allah-ditta-caves-relic-of-ancient-buddhism |url-status=live }}</ref>
