Cheap flights to Pakistan - Compare and Save

Pakistan climate

Pakistan’s climate changes with its elevation. If you visit in the summer, you can enjoy pleasant weather in the mountains or bake at 100 degrees in the Indus Valley. Monsoons arrive in the south near the end of summer. The mountains become icy-cold and freezing in the winter, while the low-lying areas stay around 50 F.

Best Time to Fly to Pakistan

If wind sailing and surfing are on your list of things to do, then book flights to Pakistan between May and October, when hot conditions make the Arabian Sea the perfect place to play.

Peak Season: If you plan to stay near Sindh, Balochistan, Punjab and the southern North-West Frontier Province book flights to Pakistan during the cooler months between November and February, because afterwards, the heat can be unbearable. If you have trekking in mind though, you’ll want to book your Pakistan flights between April and October, because although there could still be storms, this is when the mountains are at their best.

Off-peak Season: Less people book flights to Pakistan during Ramadan, because activity decreases, and open cafes and restaurants are difficult to find. Although it’s a less desirable time for most, it’s also a great time to save on cheap flights to Pakistan.

Getting around Pakistan

Pakistan International Airlines provides extensive opportunities for domestic Pakistan flights, once you arrive. If you’re interested in seeing cities like Faisalabad, Karachi, Lahore, Multan, Peshawar, Quetta and Sukkur, board a domestic Pakistan flight and set off on an intra-continental tour.

The railway system is widespread and very affordable, and perfect for remote areas that are too far for taxis. Buses called Qing-Qi, yellow taxis, and motorcycle-auto rickshaws are also available options.

Pakistan Travel Information

• Khunjerab Pass: The Khunjerab Pass is a quirky road that links China to Pakistan. It runs through vast stretches of land where Marco Polo sheep, Himalayan ibex, golden marmots, wolves, and snow leopards happen to roam. Pass old Chinese hostels built in the 1960’s, and a river where travelers stop to spend the night camping. As you wind through the valley stretch, the deep, crumbling rock walls may scare you, but you haven’t seen anything until you’ve reached the absolute pinnacle of confusion. Where Pakistan officially meets China, the traffic on the left side of the road switches to the right, creating nothing short of a lively memory of your Pakistan travel.

• Pakistan Museum of Natural History: Located on the National Park, The Pakistan Museum of Natural History shows Pakistan’s development over a number of centuries. Filled with wonderful depictions of wildlife and early humans, the museum is the quintessential place for those booking flights to Pakistan to learn about the country in its more primal stages. Admission is free, and it’s closed on Fridays, so plan your Pakistan travel accordingly.

• Islamabad Margala Hills: The Margala Hills surrounds Islamabad from two sides. Branching from the Himalayan mountains and encapsulating the historical city of Taxila, it connects to the Muree Hills, which further link to the Kashmir Mountains. For those booking flights to Pakistan for an outdoor respite, take advantage of the developed facilities that guide travelers through villages. Bus rides are available for those who want the views without enduring the physical labor.

• Takht-i-Bahi: For religious enthusiasts booking flights to Pakistan, seeing the Takht-i-Bahi should be a high priority. The ancient Buddhist monastic complex was built in the first century, and its impressive preservation and antiquity leads you straight to the nearby ruins of the Sahr I Bahlol. Set on a hill 500 feet high, it’s the perfect spot for meditation and contemplation during your travel to Pakistan.
