Daman-e-Koh is SPECTACULAR. I make it a rule to always go there during my Isloo visits.

the air is so fresh that you actually feel relaxed and sedated...love the traditional paan stalls

I think somebody needs to get the statistics based on quality of living in these cities.

you'll never see rows upon rows of homeless people sleeping on the sidewalks in our federal capital

From what I have seen and heard Islamabad will beat all other capitals hands down. Its well planned, comparatively new and has nothing lacking in infrastructure.

My only query is if it has a distinct culture of its own a-la Lahore or Karachi or if its a mish-mash of different tehzeebs?

Well i don't consider Wikipedia a reliable source but it can give you some insight.

Islamabad is home to many migrants from other regions of Pakistan and has a cultural and religious diversity of considerable antiquity. Due to its location on the Pothohar Plateau, remnants of ancient cultures and civilizations such as Aryan, Soanian, and Indus Valley civilization can still be found in the region. A 15th century Gakhar fort, Pharwala Fort, is located near Islamabad which was built on the remains of a 10th century Hindu fort. Rawat Fort in the region was built by the Gakhars in 16th century where the grave of the Gakhar chief, Sultan Sarang Khan, is located.

Saidpur Village in Islamabad is named after Said Khan, the son of Sultan Sarang Khan. The 500 year old village was converted into the a place of Hindu worship by a Mughal commander, Raja Man Singh. He constructed a number of small ponds: Rama kunda, Sita kunda, Lakshaman kunda, and Hanuman kunda. The region is home to many Hindu temples that are preserved, showing the history of Hindu civilization and architecture in the region.

Present day Islamabad is diverse when it comes to culture and religion. I have personally visited Saidpur village. CDA is developing it.
Some pics of Saidpur temple.

@topic
Every capital is unique in its own way so it is difficult to pick one.
