When to book flights to Pakistan

If you're planning a trip to Pakistan during the summer, make sure you book early, especially your hotels as you'll be battling with the locals for rooms in the coastal towns. Most Westerners tend to visit in spring and autumn to avoid the unbearable heat of summer. This is also the best times to do trekking, one of the highlights of holidays in Pakistan.

• Peak season: June, July and August but generally it's recommended to visit March to May and September to November are peak travel seasons.
• Low season: Late July to early October when monsoon season hits. Heavy rains cause severe flooding in the Punjab and Sindh regions. Winter, when the Khyber Pass is closed.

Experience Pakistan: what to see, what to do

Pakistan is deceptively large, it's 1.5 times the size of France! Located next to the Arabian Sea but it also has two deserts (Punjab and Sindh), green lush moutnains in the north-west, dry rugged mountains, mountains that are covered in ice, rivers, water falls, forests and more. Pakistan's natural landscapes will awe and its cities impress.

Essentials in Pakistan

Islamabad: As a capital city, you wouldn't expect Islamabad to be so laid-back. It's a relatively new city and is relatively quiet in comparison to other Pakistani cities. As for sights, these are just the beginning: Lok Virsa Museum includes 25 galleries, National Art Gallery featuring hundreds of contemporary Pakistani artists, Daman-e-Koh for great views over the city, Rawal Lake for an afternoon picnic or walk and Faisal Masjid, a large mosque that was a gift from the king of Saudi Arabia and is so big that 100,000 can fit inside to pray.

Gilgit-Baltistan: Located in the northern region of Pakistan, the mountains here rival those of Nepal and have some of the tallest peaks in the world. For trekking holidays and rock climbing, this is definitely the place to be.

Punjab: Punjab is one of the most popular places for visitors to go while on holidays in Pakistan. Its the more fertile region of the country and home to many of the country's historical mosques and shrines. To get around easily, we recommend a Pakistan car hire.

Karachi: The ancient ruins of Moenjodaro are located here.
