Most nationalities can apply for Pakistan's online e-visa through the official government portal, and tourist visas are typically issued within days.

Question 6

What is the best time to visit Pakistan?

Accepted Answer

The two headline seasons are spring (mid-March to April) for the famous cherry and apricot blossoms in Hunza, and autumn (late September to October) for golden poplars and clear mountain views across Skardu and Gilgit-Baltistan. Summer (May to August) is ideal for high-altitude treks such as K2 Base Camp, Charakusa and Fairy Meadows, while winter suits Lahore, cultural tours and snow landscapes.
