Tailor-Made Pakistan Holidays
Pakistan Holidays
Coming in 2025…
Pakistan is an exhilarating destination, boasting skyline-stealing architecture, head-spinning mountain scenery and rich culture that very few visitors get to see. This lesser-trodden part of the world calls to anyone with a will for adventure, whether you’re looking for a refreshing perspective on arts and culture, mouthwatering cuisine, or a prime spot to relax and gaze towards the Karakoram Mountains on the horizon. Prepare for an unforgettable journey…
Sculptural skylines…
Pakistan is home to some of the most photogenic landmarks in Asia, and its cities are studded with architectural gems that steal the limelight. From the traditional grandeur of Lahore Fort to the futuristic needle-like towers of Islamabad’s Faisal Mosque, each structure is distinctive in its own way. Marvel at the intricate Mughal design of the Badshahi Mosque, stand in the shelter and solemnity of the Pakistan monument’s petals, and admire the tiled beauty of the Bibi Jawindi Mausoleum.
Majestic mountains…
Pakistan’s horizons are peppered with jagged mountain silhouettes that are irresistible to those with an adventurous spirit. K2 - the world’s second highest mountain - is the most widely known of Pakistan’s peaks, but its sisters in the Karkoram range are just as awe-inspiring. To the west, the Hindu Kush studs the border with Afganistan, and to the east the Himalayas spreads out across northern India and beyond. Explore by jeep and stay in welcoming family home-stays.
Colourful culture…
Pakistan’s culture is diverse and vibrant, with bright colours and lively festivals taking centre stage. With your guide ensuring you step with care, immerse yourself in the Wagah border ceremony, or meet members of the Kalash community, which legend has it date back to the days of Alexander the Great. Join one of Lahore’s frequent festivities, enjoy firework extravaganzas, and see the skies over the Punjab fill with kites during Basant.
Taste sensations…
Most of us are probably far more familiar with Pakistani cuisine than we might think; if you’re partial to the fragrant spices of a biryani, the sweet coconut and fruit delights of Peshwari naan, or the punchy garlic and ginger of a good karahi, then you’re already enjoying some of Pakistan’s most famous dishes. Tuck into rich, peppery bowls of beef nihari, comforting and crisp halwa puri, and sample an array of this sweet-toothed country’s favourite treats in Lahore’s ever-changing foodie landscape.
Rural retreats…
Between the imposing peaks, busy cities and arid plains, Pakistan’s landscape blossoms into hills and valleys covered in trees and lush greenery. Head to the evocatively-named Fairy Meadows National Park to enjoy unbeatable views of the ninth highest mountain on the planet, Nanga Parbat. Further west, the Kalash Valleys offer idyllic rural surroundings with the awe-inspiring backdrop of the Hindu Kush mountains; speckled with wildflowers in summer, and a snow-covered wonderland in winter.
