As the winter season fades away and the warm summer sun starts to shine, Pakistan gears up for the much-awaited season of travel and tourism- SUMMER. With longer days, warmer weather, and clear skies, it's time to bid farewell to the cold and welcome the sun-kissed days ahead.

Summer in Pakistan is a season of exploration and adventure, with plenty of opportunities for tourists to enjoy the country's diverse culture, natural beauty, and hospitality. From the lush green valleys of the north to the sandy beaches of the south, Pakistan offers a variety of destinations for travellers to choose from, each with its own unique charm and attractions.

The northern areas of Pakistan, such as Hunza, Skardu, and Gilgit, are known for their stunning natural beauty. The mountains are a heaven for adventure seekers and nature lovers. The scenic beauty of the northern areas is unparalleled, with snow-capped peaks, crystal-clear lakes, and lush green valleys. The summer months are the best time to visit these areas, as the snow begins to melt and the roads become accessible. Tourists can indulge in trekking, hiking, and camping activities, or simply enjoy the breath-taking views of the mountains.

Summer festivals and events also draw tourists from all over the world. The most famous of these is the Shandur Polo Festival, held annually in July in the Chitral district. The festival features a thrilling game of polo played between teams from Chitral and Gilgit, set against the backdrop of the breath-taking Shandur Pass.

For those who prefer a more laid-back experience, the southern beaches of Pakistan are a must-visit. The warm waters of the Arabian Sea offer a perfect escape from the scorching summer heat. Tourists can relax on the beaches and enjoy delicious seafood and refreshing drinks. The beaches offer a respite from the scorching heat, with cool sea breezes and water activities such as swimming, snorkelling, and scuba diving. Popular beach destinations include Karachi, Gwadar, and Ormara.

For those seeking a cultural experience, the cities of Lahore, Islamabad, and Peshawar offer a variety of historical and cultural attractions. From ancient Mughal architecture to traditional bazaars, these cities are a window into Pakistan's rich cultural heritage. Lahore, the cultural capital of Pakistan, is a city that comes alive in the summer months. The city's historical sites, such as the Badshahi Mosque, Lahore Fort, and the Walled City, offer a glimpse into the country's Mughal past. 

As tourism continues to grow in Pakistan, the government is taking steps to improve infrastructure and promote tourism-friendly policies. Opening of new tourist destinations and development and refining of existing sites are just a few of the steps taken to boost tourism in the country.
