Your complete pilgrim travel guide — airports, visas, cities, climate & packages
Pakistan has a diverse climate ranging from subtropical in the south to alpine in the north. Most of the country experiences hot summers (often exceeding 40°C/104°F) and mild to cold winters, with significant regional variation—northern areas like Hunza can see winter temperatures drop below freezing, while coastal Karachi remains warm year-round. The monsoon season (June–September) brings heavy rainfall to parts of the country.

Tipping is appreciated and generally expected for good service.
Cash is widely used. Card acceptance is growing but not universal — carry both.
Keep copies of important documents separate from originals and register with your embassy upon arrival. Avoid large displays of wealth, use registered taxis or ride-sharing apps after dark, and stay informed about local conditions in your specific city, as safety varies significantly between urban centers and remote areas. Women travelers should dress modestly and exercise extra caution, particularly in less touristy regions.
