Pakistan offers extraordinary locations for film and photography: the highest mountains on earth, ancient cultures, vibrant cities and rare wildlife. Filming here takes local knowledge, the right permissions and reliable logistics.

Our film and documentary tours provide experienced fixers and production coordinators, help with filming permission (NOC) and location permits, customs support for equipment, vehicles, porters and camp crews, interview contacts and interpreters, so your crew can focus on the story.

BEFORE YOU GO

How to Plan a Film Shoot in Pakistan

01

Filming permission

Foreign crews usually need permission (NOC) to film in Pakistan, and some locations need extra local permits. The process takes time, so contact us as early as possible with your crew list, equipment list and locations.

02

Equipment and drones

You can bring your own equipment with customs paperwork, or rent locally through our partners. Drone use needs special permission and is not always allowed, so tell us early about aerial shots.

03

Visas

Crews usually need a journalist or business visa rather than a tourist visa. We provide letters of invitation and advise on the right visa; see our Pakistan visa guide.

04

Season and light

The mountains are best from April to October, the plains from October to March, and winter is best for wildlife. Read our guide to the best time to visit Pakistan.
