Before you go!

Get the full information about your desired destination in advance to save your precious time and money.

Whenever you want to visit an area especially Murree, Gulyat Hawat, Naran, Gilgit-Skardu, Chitral, you must first check the weather conditions of the respective area on the website of the Meteorological Department www.Pakmet.com.pk. So that you can organize your program in such a way that your program is not affected due to landslides.

Take toilet paper, water bottle, jogger, p- cap, black glasses, bed sheet with cover pillow and towel. Whether the climate is cold or hot, take warm clothes according to the weather. Because the weather is unreliable in the mountainous region, the forecast is clear, suddenly, the weather will cool down immediately due to rain.

For mild cuts and bruises, take it with you as general medicine. Women should not wear jewelry and men should carry more valuable items.

During tourism!

Travel in these areas fearlessly. The people of these areas are very friendly and hospitable. But, never involve too much in their religious activities.

Try to get accommodation (hotel, etc.) before evening so that you don’t have to worry if it’s late when there are fewer available rooms. Especially in the northern regions, there are some difficulties due to the increase in the number of tourists during the summer season and snowfall.

As a precaution, write the names and phone numbers of some hotels in some areas as given so that you should contact them first and ask them.

If the matters are not settled on this matter, then take the number of other hotels from them.

The rental rates of hotels in  Murree and Northern Regions are not fixed but vary depending on the season, weekly holidays, and festivals.

Although the people of all regions are hospitable, the rejection of some greedy people may cause you trouble. You can take a guide anywhere. Ride a camel or a horse.

Always settle the charge first when taking pictures. Choose a local driver for a full day with all point details where you want to go. By telling the first point, they will choose the best route for you.

Agent-like gentlemen will escort you to the hotel for hotel booking in different areas. You should avoid this and arrange the fare by contacting the hotel directly.

Try to travel in a big car instead of a small car during snowfall.

Whenever you climb a hill, take your breath slowly. And using your normal pace instead of running up the hill will make you feel less tired.

Whenever you go on a day trip, always keep a bottle of water with you, especially in the paddy areas, it is needed more. Because sometimes there is a lack of air due to the high altitudes.

Water is the best solution for shortness of breath from walking.

People from northern areas are generally more religious, so try not to wear short or tight clothing that exposes your body parts. Especially, short dresses for women can sometimes cause difficulties and problems.

If you go to the northern regions, be sure to drink water from cold natural springs and waterfalls, whether you are thirsty or not.

Do not leave leftover food items, shopping bags, etc. dispose of them in a suitable place.

Do not make a stranger your guide, talk to your hotelier about it.
