With some great road trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to experience everything that Islamabad, 20 miles away, has to offer. See the sights starting with Daman-e-Koh, Faisal Mosque and Lok Virsa Museum. Locals will also probably point you in the direction of Abbottabad, 35 miles away. If you can only see one attraction here, let it be Raees Khana Bazar. (But we’d also recommend Ilyasi Mosque and Shimla Peak.)
