Visas are required by nationals from most
European and English-speaking countries. A Pakistan visa allows you to
enter the country up to six months from the date you get it, and stay
up to three months from the date you enter. However, if you arrive in
Pakistan as a tourist without a visa you will receive a 30-day landing
permit, which can be changed into a three month entry visa at a regional
passport office in Pakistan. The best time for traveling to Pakistan
depends on which part of the country you intend to visit. Generally speaking,
the southern parts of Pakistan including Sind, Baluchistan, Punjab and
southern North-West Frontier Province (NWFP) are best visited in the cooler
months between November and April. After that it gets uncomfortably hot.
The northern areas like Azad Jammu Kashmir, and northern NWFP are best
seen during May to October before the area becomes snowbound. The weather
may be a little stormy during this time, but the mountain districts are
usually still accessible. Nationwide celebrations include Ramadan,
a month of sunrise-to-sunset fasting which changes dates every year (as
the Islamic calendar differs from the Gregorian one); Eid-ul-Fitr, two
to three days of feasting and goodwill that marks the end of Ramadan;
Eid-ul-Azha, when animals are slaughtered and the meat shared between
relatives and the needy; and Eid-Milad-un-Nabi, which celebrates Mohammad's
birthday. By staying in hostels or dorms and eating like a local you can get by on as little as US$10-15 a day. If, however, you were looking for a moderate touch of luxury you could spend as much as $30-40 a day which could get you accommodation that included a satellite T.V., a desk, a balcony, and a spotlessly clean bathroom. As in any place you can spend as much as you like to live in the lap of luxury and stay in swanky hotels. It's worth noting that rooms and food are cheaper in the north than in the south. One US$ = 60 Pakistani Rupees Budget meal US$ 2-3 Back to Top
