Tree House

-
Some pictures to share from Monal Islamabad ....A beautiful resturant made of wood logs. I got fascinated by its uniqueness on the Margalla Hills in Islamabad, Offering nice food with a nice view. Very spectacular with lots of natural beauty.

But at the same time i was shocked about how many wood is used here from trees. I am concerned about the environmental protection in Pakistan, causes damage to forests and greenery.

    That is a beautiful tree house with gorgeous views. The restaurant looks like it would be a nice place to eat, but if wood is scarce, then maybe it is bad for the environment. I suppose it is already built, so maybe we can hope that more trees are not taken down. :)
