Pakistan's north holds some of the highest mountains on earth — K2, Nanga Parbat and the Karakoram Highway running toward the Chinese border — while Lahore in the east keeps Mughal architecture, and the Indus valley holds Mohenjo-daro.
The guides here cover Pakistan as a whole. The northern season runs roughly May to September, when the Karakoram Highway and high valleys are open; winter closes them. Security conditions differ considerably by province, with some border and tribal areas restricted or requiring permits, so route planning depends on current official advisories rather than general impressions of the country.
