Pakistan Travel Guides

Everything below is written by the people who run the trips — the planners in the Islamabad office and the guides and drivers on the road. Nothing here is written to fill a page. Each guide answers one question we are asked often enough on the phone that it deserved a proper answer, and the answers are the ones we give when someone asks us directly, including the parts that are inconvenient.

If you are still deciding where to go, start with the best time to visit Pakistan and the honest answer on safety. If you have chosen and are getting ready, the visa guide and the packing list are the two that save the most trouble. For the trips themselves, see our Pakistan tour packages, guided treks and expeditions.
