  • Carry your original CNIC (Pakistani nationals) or passport + visa (foreign nationals).

  • Pack warm layers even in summer — high passes can drop near freezing at night.
  • Hotel check-in is 12:00 pm and check-out 10:00 am; hill hotels are simpler than city equivalents.

  • Prices can vary on peak dates (Eid holidays, New Year) and with hotel availability.
