Best Time to Travel

The best time to travel to Pakistan depends on where you wish to go. There is a high season and a low season. The high season, summer,is from May to October while the low season, winter, is from November to April.

Most people travel in the high season as the weather is generally warm throughout the country. The northern areas in Pakistan attract the most visitors throughout the year and these regions get only opened in the high season as the snow has melted during this time.

If you wish to visit the other regions like Punjab, Sindh, and Balochistan then it is better to do so in the low season when winter has arrived. This way you will not have to endure the summer heat.
