Where to stay in Pakistan
Hotels
Pakistan offers a wide range of accommodation options to suit different budgets and travel styles, from luxury hotels to budget-friendly guesthouses.
International hotel chains are available in major cities. They provide high-end amenities, including fine dining, swimming pools, spas, and business facilities. These hotels cater to business travellers and international tourists seeking comfort and convenience.
Restored havelis and historic buildings, such as the Shigar Fort Residence in Skardu, offer a unique blend of history and modern comfort.
Eco-friendly lodges are in regions like Swat and the Hunza Valley.
In remote regions like Gilgit-Baltistan or Chitral, accommodation options may be limited to small guesthouses, family-run lodges, or government rest houses with basic amenities.
Camping
Camping is possible, mainly in the mountainous areas where hotels are not available. Popular camping destinations include Fairy Meadows (Gilgit-Baltistan), Deosai National Park (permit required), Ratti Gali Lake (Azad Kashmir), and the Hunza Valley. Campers should bring all essential gear and sufficient food and water supplies. Preparing for extreme weather conditions is also necessary.
