Sheikh Anser Aziz said further Saidpur is a historic Pakistani village located in a ravine in the Margalla Hills, near Islamabad and the Daman-e-Kohoverlook and attract a large number of tourists.

The purpose behind the establishment of the centre was to provide information about this historical place and to create awareness regarding its historic significance among the visitors.

At the back of the village, you’ll find several houses that are very traditional looking and eventually will lead you to an impressive hiking trail.
