Whether you are trying to avoid huge crowds of tourists or stay away from extreme temperatures, it’s always important to know when the best time is to visit a place in order to see it at its finest. Summer is undoubtedly the height of the tourist season, but that does not mean that it is the ideal time of year to travel in. Pakistan’s large size lends itself to a lot of climates, so there isn’t just one season that is optimum for seeing all of the country’s sights.

The south of the country tends to be scorching hot in summer, so much so to the point that it becomes unbearable and potentially dangerous. That makes summer a great time to head north and explore the Himalayas, Karakoram, and Hindu Kush without having to endure searing temperatures, although you find plenty of tourists in those regions during that season.

Personally, my favorite time to explore the mountains in the north is during Autumn. Lower prices, fewer tourists, and the Fall foliage is simply unreal.

The cherry blossom season is also truly a sight to behold, so while you might be a little chilly, seeing the trees erupt in color after winter makes the trip well worth the effort.

Winter is an excellent season to spend time traveling in the south of the country. You can enjoy the cultural and historical sights, great food, and legendary Pakistani hospitality all while doing so in cooler temperatures that won’t leave you wondering whether you’re literally melting or not.

Kalam Valley/Swat

Being in Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province (KPK for short), Kalam has a relatively warm climate for being so mountainous. While the summits aren’t quite as high on average as those you find in Hunza or Skardu, the mountains here are vibrant with deep colors and forests like very few other places in the world are.

Because of its comparatively warm climate, Kalam is a destination that is far more accessible in all seasons, and you can even explore during winter without having to face the frigid temperatures that more northern regions experience in the coldest months.

Why visit in Spring?

• Apple and apricots blossoms in full bloom
• Lesser crowd and local hospitality.
• Great for photography.

Hunza Valley

The valley surrounding the Hunza River is home to some of the world’s best treks, with trail lengths ranging from a few hours to several days. Combine nature with history with a steep walk up to the 800-year-old Baltit Fort, and hire a tour operator to help you explore the magical villages, interact with the hospitable locals, and score the freshest apricots in the valley. Hunza Valley is exceptionally beautiful during the cherry blossom season in spring and for the changing colors of fall. Summer is the rainy season and winter can get quite cold. – Tripadvisor

Why to visit in spring?

• Enjoy comfortable, pleasant weather with temperatures ideal for exploring the region, making it perfect for outdoor activities.
• The trails are clear and the weather is comfortable, allowing for enjoyable hiking and trekking through lush, green landscapes.

Shimshal Valley

A valley of spectacular natural beauty, Shimshal is renowned largely for being the setting of one of Pakistan’s most dangerous roads. The journey to Shimshal is a sensory overload, alive with raging rivers, titanic mountains, chasmic drops, and of course, no small amount of danger. And that’s before you even arrive at the village itself!

Shimshal Village is a home base for both short day hikes and lengthy treks (as well as climbs of nearby mountains), so it has a good number of guesthouses and lodges for travelers to stay at. This is a destination for those who love exploring rugged, mountainous areas on the edge of civilization.

Not particularly easy to reach, you can either take public transport from Hunza or attempt the road on a motorcycle. That being said, the Shimshal road earns its dangerous reputation and you should stick with arranging a public jeep/van to get there unless you are very experienced on a bike.

Why visit in spring?

• Plasent weather.
• vibrent scenery.
• Wildlife opportunities
