Nicholson Monument, G T Road Taxila.
The Margalla pass is located 26 km west of Islamabad on Grand Trunk Road, which has been mentioned by historians and emperors like Alberuni, Farishta and Jahangir.

The pass in fact is a link between the ancient capital of Gandhara (Taxila) and the modern capital of Pakistan.

There is an obelisk right on the top of the Pass, built in 1890 in memory of Brigadier General Sir John Nicholson (died on 23 September 1857 in Delhi) of British army for his achievements in the expeditions to Afghanistan.

A small part of the ancient Shahi (Royal) Road can be seen just across the pass, left of Grand Trunk Road. This road was first built by the Persians in 516 BC and later developed by the Afghan King Sher Shah Suri in 1540s.

An inscription on the western side of this stone pavement shows that it was again repaired in 1672 AD.
