For Visiting Northern Pakistan (Gilgit-Baltistan)
The best time to visit northern Pakistan is during spring and summer. Since these areas are well above sea level , temperatures drop below freezing point in winters at most places. Spring and summer present the best time, but during summer you experience sunny days that will tan your skin in a couple of hours. Why? Because there is no air pollution, air is thin so the sun hits you hard. Better have a pair of sun glasses and some sunblock cream.
For Visiting Southern Pakistan
Southern Pakistan becomes extremely hot, humid. Cities like Karachi, Lahore, Multan and Bahawalpur experience extreme hot conditions with day time temperatures around 40°c + and not to mention the humidity. Although monsoon settles in during July/August. But temperatures drop only for a couple of days and the extreme weather cycle starts again. It is recommended to visit Southern Pakistan during winter only. The temperatures are fine and during the day you will enjoy the sun. Pakistan’s southern parts are also more related to historical and cultural activities that attracts tourists. These places are well enjoyed during winter season.
