It’s very peaceful city. The people here are helpful but also mind their own business when necessary. It’s a small town with many villages. The people here are hardworking and have build their city on there own including different malls, bakeries and plazas. It has public parks and restaurants as well.

Chakwal is almost 90 kilometers from the capital Islamabad. The population of the city is about one million people. Are you interested in hanging around my city and surrounding areas? It is a beautiful city surrounded by hills. If you land in the Islamabad International Airport, you can come to Faizabad Bus Stand to pick transport to Chakwal. You can come by two routes to Chakwal. One is from Motorway, and the other one is from GT Road. Two hours drive from GT Road and One and a half-hour drive from Motorway. You will enjoy beautiful countryside views on both sides of the road.
