💡 Travel Tips
💰 Stay in Rawalpindi (30 minutes from Islamabad) instead of central Islamabad for 40-50% cheaper accommodation while maintaining easy access to all major attractions via local transport.
📅 October to March is ideal for visiting Islamabad, with pleasant temperatures ranging from 10-25°C and clear skies perfect for hiking the Margalla Hills. Avoid the summer months (May-September) when temperatures soar above 35°C and the monsoon rains make trekking difficult.
🛂 Indian passport holders can obtain a Pakistani visa through the Pakistani High Commission in Delhi or other Indian cities, or apply for an e-visa online at www.visa.nadra.gov.pk. The tourist visa typically takes 5-7 working days and costs around INR 3,000-4,000.
