| Population | 192.129 million. |
| Religion | Islam. |
| Language | Urdu, English. |
| Currency | Pakistani rupee (PKR). |
| Climate | Pakistan’s seasons are: winter, (from November to March) which has warm days but cold nights and the higher mountains experiencing heavy snowfalls; summer (April to July) has very high temperatures with low humidity, and the monsoon season (July to September) with the highest rainfall occurring in the hills. There is always a lot of sunshine countrywide and year-round. |
| Transport | The transport system is a mix of trains, buses, taxis and auto-rickshaws in the towns though all of them will be chaotic and crowded. The more comfortable way to get around would be to hire a car and driver or air travel. |
| Best time to travel | For travel to most of Pakistan, the temperate winter months between November and April are best. |
| What to wear | Pakistan is conservative, so clothing that is revealing or tight should be avoided — for women this means covering shoulders and knees. A good option would be to dress local in the shalwar kameez — a long full-sleeved tunic top with loose fitting pants — which would also help protect from the sun and mosquitoes. |
