Complete Pakistan Tour 2026-27 — Karakoram to the Arabian Sea
Twenty days from the Karakoram to Karachi — Skardu, Hunza, the Khyber, Lahore, Multan and the Arabian Sea.
View trip & itinerarySouth of the mountains is a different Pakistan. Lahore is the reason many people come to the country at all: Lahore Fort and the Badshahi Mosque facing each other across the Hazuri Bagh, the walled city with the Wazir Khan Mosque at its centre, every surface in glazed tile, and food streets that run until two in the morning. Further south, Multan's Sufi shrines stand under domes of blue tile, and Bahawalpur has the Noor Mahal, an Italianate palace built by a nawab in 1872.
North-west of Islamabad is Gandhara. For roughly seven centuries from about the first century CE, the country between the Indus and the Khyber was one of the most important Buddhist regions on earth, and Taxila and Takht-i-Bahi are both UNESCO World Heritage sites. None of it depends on a mountain pass being open, which makes the plains the part of Pakistan to visit in winter.
