Planning a Pakistan Trip from Italy
What travellers based in Italy should check before joining one of our trips in Pakistan, explained in English.
Official travel advice to read first
Italy's Ministry of Foreign Affairs publishes travel advice for Pakistan on Viaggiare Sicuri (viaggiaresicuri.it), including regional information.
Italian citizens can register their trip on Dove Siamo nel Mondo so the authorities can help them in an emergency.
Time difference
Pakistan Standard Time is UTC+5 with no daylight saving. Pakistan is 4 hours ahead of Italy in winter and 3 hours ahead in summer.
Visas and Pakistan's mission
Pakistan's visas are applied for online through the Pakistan Online Visa System run by NADRA (visa.nadra.gov.pk). Which visa category applies to Italian passport holders, and the current fee and processing time, can change, so check the portal and the Embassy of Pakistan in Rome before you book flights.
Planning from Italy
Our programmes are described in English. Mountaineers interested in the history of K2 can compare the K2 base camp trek with our 51-day K2 expedition.
Where our trips start
Almost every programme starts and ends at Islamabad International Airport, so that is the airport to plan your flights around from Italy. Two exceptions: the Indus civilisation tour starts in Karachi, and the camel safari starts in Bahawalpur.
