Pakistan is home to some of the world's highest mountain peaks including K2 and Nanga Parbat. Trekking permits are required for certain routes — arrange these separately before or after arriving in Pakistan.
Dress conservatively in public places and religious sites. Both men and women are expected to dress modestly, especially outside major urban centers.
Some areas of Pakistan require additional travel permits (e.g., tribal areas, restricted border zones). Check with Pakistan Tourism before planning travel to remote regions.
Each traveler must have their own individual eVisa, including children. Ensure all passport details entered exactly match your travel document.
