Perched near Khanpur Dam, WAPDA Rest House is for guests who want the quiet of the water and hills over the bustle of the city. The offering is pared down to what matters on a peaceful getaway, with laundry service on hand and the surroundings doing the heavy lifting. Nightly rates range from PKR 11,514 to PKR 14,918. Make no mistake about the setting: this is a genuine retreat, with the nearest campus, Bahria Islamabad, some 13.6 km off, and NDU and VU Islamabad further out at roughly 16 km each, so anyone booking here is choosing calm and scenery over a short commute. Jinnah Education System's Iqbal Campus is the closest landmark of note, a little over 9 km away. If your idea of a good stay involves stepping away from traffic and noise for a few days beside the dam, the rest house gives you a simple, comfortable place to do exactly that, with the laundry taken care of so you can focus on the view and the quiet.
