The Beauty of Shambar Waterfall at Margalla Hills, Islamabad. 😍 🌳
The Shumber waterfall is magnificent in the Margalla Hills of Islamabad. It is a seasonal waterfall. The water level is high in the rainy season mostly in the monsoon. Apart from that, the waterfall gets dry. This place is not much popular as it is hidden in the Margalla hills. But, it is a must-visit place. The beauty of the Shumber waterfall has no match. Trees and big rocks surround the waterfall which provides an eye-catchy view. Further, I am sharing below the complete details about reaching the waterfall as well as the right time to visit it.
📍 SHUMBER WATERFALL LOCATION
The Shumber waterfall is at a driving distance of 10 minutes from Shahdara Valley Islamabad. Also, just like the #BrutiWaterfall, the Shumber waterfall is crystal clear. On reaching the #ShahdaraValley you have to take left near the Hidden Terrace Restaurant. There is a small bridge which turns towards the restaurant. You do not have to turn towards that bridge. Rather there is a bumpy road under construction going straight towards the waterfall. Moreover, you have to drive on this road for 5-10 minutes. There is no proper parking but you can park where the locals of that area recommend you to park the car. They charge 50 Pkr for the motorbikes, while 100 Pkr for the cars.
🥾 TREK TOWARDS THE WATERFALL
The hiking trek starts near the parking. There is just one thing you have to follow the water stream. It will take you to the Shumber waterfall. The hike level is moderate. Further, it will take 30 minutes to reach the waterfall. The best time to visit is in the morning. As it will be easy for you to trek as well as enjoy the beauty of nature. Please take measures for the cleanliness of the place. Do not exploit natural beauty. As this is our country we must keep it clean and safe.
⏰ What is the best time to visit the Shumber waterfall?
The best time to visit the waterfall is in the monsoon season. In the monsoon season, Islamabad gets a lot of rain. This results in the rise of water level and the streams start flowing.
✨ Why should we visit Shumber waterfall?

⛰️ Which is the best day of the week to visit the waterfall?
I will suggest you visit on weekdays early in the morning to experience the natural beauty of Shumber waterfall in Islamabad. You can take your family too. On Friday, Saturday, and Sunday the place is a bit full of crowd.
🏊♂️ SWIMMING AT SHUMBER WATERFALL
To swim at Shumber waterfall in the summers is not less than a treat. The water is cold and crystal clear. The ponds are not very deep which makes it safe to swim there. But do not dive from heights as there are big stones that may cause you an injury. It is safe to have a look in the water pond so that if you want to dive there is no risk.
🌊 Is the water deep?
The big pond that is below the waterfall is not more than 3-4 feet in depth. There is a pond below which is a bit deep but not that much, it is always good to be on the safe side and play safe.
🦺 Is it safe to visit the Shumber Waterfall?
Absolutely yes, I have heard from a few people that the locals do not allow us to visit the waterfall. This is not really true. The local community is living in a small village near Shumber waterfall. Because there are multiple ways to reach the waterfall. The best and recommended path is to follow the water stream. This path is at a safe distance from the local settlements. The locals just want that people should respect their privacy and culture. Good manners are always appreciated. ☺️ #Pakistan #Waterfall #Islamabad #Tourism #Mustvisit🇵🇰
