Ling Stream
Ling Stream is a natural waterway flowing through the hilly terrain of northern Punjab. It is primarily visited by those interested in nature watching and birding, as kingfishers are frequently observed hunting fish in the stream. The water is crossed twice by the main road connecting Islamabad and Azad Kashmir.
Getting There
The stream is located outside the main urban center of Rawalpindi. Travelers typically reach the site via car or taxi heading toward the Azad Kashmir road. Depending on the starting point in the city and traffic conditions, the drive generally takes between 45 to 90 minutes.
Duration of Visit
A visit of 2 to 3 hours is usually sufficient to observe the local wildlife and walk along the accessible banks of the stream.
