Get around in Pakistan

However, taxis, buses and rickshaws are plentiful in bigger cities and make reasonable options for urban travel.

Tips for travelling in Pakistan

Safety is paramount when you're travelling to Pakistan, so make sure to take government advice before you set off. Obtaining a visa is easy now that the government has launched the E-visa system, but make sure you have all necessary documents and passports ready for your flight to Pakistan and keep photocopies with you. When you're there, take care to respect Pakistani customs and laws, some of which clash with what we're used to in the UK.
