The Margalla Hills (Urdu: مارگلہ پہاڑیاں‎) is a hill range which is part of the Himalayan foothills located within the Margalla Hills National Park, north of Islamabad, Pakistan. The Margalla range has an area of 12,605 hectares. The hills are a part of Murree hills. It is a range with many valleys as well as high mountains.

Shumber Waterfall located Near the Shahdra village, this beautiful waterfall is the best place to enjoy the nature. It takes around an hour of hiking from Shahdra Village. You’ll find numerous ponds and lakes of refreshing water so you can choose wherever you want to stop. But reaching the summit is quite difficult as there is no proper pathway.
A word of advice; if you’re looking to cut off everything and want to enjoy some alone time in the nature, then go early morning on a weekday. You won’t find a single soul, apart from a few locals.

According to the research carried out by scientists and archaeologists of the project "Post-Earthquake Explorations of Human Remains in Margalla Hills", the formation of the Margalla Hills dates to the Miocene epoch. The dominant limestone of the Margalla is mixed with sandstone and occasional minor beds of shale. The archaeologists of the project have also found two human footprints over one million years old here, preserved in sandstone.
