Workation in Rawalpindi: the essentials
Pindi, as everyone calls it, is the older and busier half of Pakistan's twin cities, on the Soan River and the Pothohar Plateau directly south of Islamabad. A Gakhar chief founded it in 1493, and under the British it became the largest garrison of the Northern Command; the headquarters of the Pakistan Army is still here. Daily life runs through the bazaars of Raja Bazaar and Saddar, a world away from the capital's tidy sectors, and a metrobus connects the two cities. The ruins of Taxila, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, are close by, and Islamabad International Airport is about 25 km away. The old centre is crowded and traffic is heavy.
