Home / How to travel
Visas, permits, money, and what to expect on the ground, the essentials for international visitors, gathered in one place.
Many nationalities qualify for Pakistan's online e-visa; check eligibility and apply at visa.nadra.gov.pk, which lists tourist, business, and other visa categories by nationality. Some northern border zones also need an NOC, we arrange permits for every trip we run.
The Pakistani Rupee (PKR) is cash-first, especially in the north. Cards work in cities; carry cash for valleys and bazaars.
April-October for the mountains; November-March for Lahore, the forts, and the southern coast. Plan by altitude, not by month.
Domestic flights link Islamabad to Skardu and Gilgit; beyond that it's private drivers and jeeps on mountain roads. We handle the logistics.
Buy a local SIM (SCO, Jazz, Zong or Ufone) on arrival for the best coverage. Signal is patchy in the high valleys, part of the appeal.
No mandatory vaccines, but altitude is real above 3,000m, we build in acclimatisation. Our guides carry first aid and stay reachable 24/7.
