Pakistan General Tips by lachydragon

Favorite Thing: A good starting place to find out more about Pakistan is the PTDC Website (this is the government tourism board) and can be found at:
http://www.tourism.gov.pk

Also, Pakistan's National airline - Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) is useful to find flights into Pakistan (although many other international carriers fly into Karachi, Islamabad is more restricted for international flights - I only saw PIA, Emirates and British Airways). Anyway, PIA is at:
http://www.piac.com.pk

For trekking information, there are a multitude of trekking companies (Pakistani owned) however I trevlled with Adventure Travel http://www.adventure-touroperator.com While looking for a suitable comany I was also impressed by Nazir Sabir Expeditions http://www.nazirsabir.com (although i did not travel with them)

I did some research via the Lonely Planet 'Thorn Tree' bulleting boards - however the people posting can get a bit nasty they seemed more 'up hemselves' than the VT community, but they have more visibility if you are searching for some specific info:
