Margalla: Jungle Kahani
Join us for the launch of Margalla: Jungle Kahani, a compelling work by columnist and lawyer Asif Mahmood, that takes readers deep into the living landscape of Islamabad’s iconic Margalla Hills.
Blending observation, storytelling and quiet reflection, the book captures Margalla’s flora, fauna and wildlife, revealing a world that exists alongside the city yet remains largely unseen. More than a natural history, Margalla: Jungle Kahani is a meditation on coexistence – between humans and nature, development and conservation, memory and place.
This session will explore the inspiration behind the book, the ecological and cultural significance of the Margalla Hills, and why preserving such natural spaces matters. A conversation for readers, nature lovers and anyone curious about the stories hidden in the wilderness around us.
