Best time to visit Pakistan

Pakistan’s climate and temperatures vary in the different regions, but tourists can expect mainly hot and dry summers. Winter (December to February) is the best time to visit Baluchistan, Sind, Punjab and the southern parts of the North-West Frontier Province. Temperatures can go up to 49 degrees Celsius in the plains during the summer rainy season (June to September). The blistering heat is synonymous with load-shedding, lawn collections and an intense love for mangoes! The best time to visit the capital city, Islamabad, would be between November and April when the temperature is slightly chilled and not very hot.
