How to Book and Prepare for One Day Tours in Pakistan

01

How the day works

Your guide and driver meet you at your hotel, usually at 09:00, and the tour lasts about 7 to 10 hours. We can start earlier or later to fit your flights, and shorter half-day versions are possible on request.

02

Season and weather

Islamabad, Lahore, Peshawar and Karachi are most pleasant from October to March. Skardu is best from April to October. Read our guide to the best time to visit Pakistan.

03

Dress and etiquette

Dress modestly, with arms and legs covered, and carry a scarf for visits to mosques and shrines. Always ask before taking photos of people.

04

Visas and safety

We provide a Letter of Invitation for your visa; see our Pakistan visa guide. Some areas, such as the Khyber Pass, need extra permits or a police escort, which we check and arrange before your tour.
