Pakistan Travel Services: Tours, Transport, Visas and Weddings
Our services
The trip is one booking. Behind it are a dozen arrangements.
National Planners of Pakistan is a travel company in Lahore that has been putting Pakistan trips together since 2018. We sell the tours, and we also do the work that decides whether a tour actually runs: the vehicle that turns up on time, the room with heating in October, the permit at the checkpoint, the visa filed correctly the first time.
This page lists what we can organise for you, whether you are booking a full itinerary, adding a few days to a business trip, or bringing a wedding party into the mountains.
Replies on WhatsApp during working hours, Pakistan time (GMT+5).
What we do
Six services, one office
These are the businesses under our name. Each has its own team and its own page; they share the same booking file, which is why a visa problem does not quietly break a tour.
Tour packages
Fixed departures and private itineraries across the north, the cultural belt and the coast, priced per person or quoted for your group.
Rent a car
Chauffeur-driven cars, vans and minibuses by the day or the week, based in Lahore, Islamabad and the northern areas.
Visa services
Pakistani visas for visitors, and visa filing support for Pakistanis applying to twelve countries.
Destination weddings
Venue, decor, catering, mehndi and walima logistics in seven regions of Pakistan, with a coordinator on the ground.
Group departures
Scheduled departures with a fixed price per seat, including our annual Pakistan group tour.
Pakistan Sikh Yatra
Departures and private groups for the Sikh heritage circuit, planned around the gurdwaras and the pilgrimage calendar.
Alongside these we run international tours from Pakistan, a small travel store of gear and gifts, and a gallery of recent trips. If you are not sure which service you need, start with a message and we will point you to the right one.
Coordination
What we can arrange for your journey
Most travellers come to us with a route and a date, not a list of suppliers. These are the parts we can hold, book or coordinate. Some come inside a package; others can be added to a trip you are already running yourself.
Hotels & Luxury Accommodation
Rooms from simple mountain guest houses to five-star city hotels and restored heritage properties. We book in your name and confirm the details that decide a stay on this route, such as heating, hot water and a valley view.
Private Vehicles & Transportation
A car and driver for the day, a saloon for airport runs, a Hiace or Coaster (the Toyota vans and minibuses used across Pakistan) for a group, and air-conditioned transport for long highway days. The same driver stays with your itinerary.
Domestic Flights
Islamabad to Gilgit, Skardu and Chitral, plus Karachi, Quetta and Gwadar legs. Northern flights cancel on weather often, so we book them where they help and keep a road plan ready for the days they do not fly.
International Flight Coordination
We time your arrival and departure against the itinerary and coordinate the international sectors, so a late landing or an early departure does not cost you a day of the tour. Tell us where you are flying from and we will say which connection actually works.
Airport Pickup & Drop-off
A named driver with your flight number, meeting you at arrivals in Lahore, Islamabad, Karachi or Gilgit, and taking you to the hotel or straight onto the road. Drop-off is timed to the check-in you actually need.
Professional Tour Guides
English-speaking city guides, and specialist guides and drivers for the mountain routes, the archaeology and the religious heritage. Guides are booked with the itinerary, so the commentary matches the sites you are seeing.
Local Experience Coordinators
A local contact in each region who knows the families, kitchens, craftsmen and trailheads, and can rebuild a day when weather or a road closure changes the plan. This is the person you call when the itinerary meets reality.
Jeep & 4×4 Arrangements
Jeeps for Fairy Meadows, Deosai, the Shimshal and Chipursan valleys and the Cholistan dunes, with drivers who run those tracks all season. Where a road is passable only by 4×4, that is what we send.
Sightseeing & Attraction Tickets
Entry tickets for forts, museums, national parks and monuments, from Baltit and Altit in Hunza to Derawar, Katas Raj, Rohtas and the Lahore monuments. We buy ahead where the site allows it, so your day is not spent at a ticket window.
Restaurant & Dining Arrangements
Table bookings in the cities, private dining in a hotel or a courtyard, and a cook or packed meals for remote nights. Dietary requirements go to the kitchen in writing before the day, not at the table.
Photography & Videography
A local photographer or a full photo and video team for weddings, engagements and family trips, with the shot list agreed before the day. Edited files are delivered to you at the end of the trip.
Drone Photography Where Permitted
Aerial footage of valleys, roads and venues where Pakistani law allows it. Drone permissions here are site-specific and parts of the country near borders, airports and military areas are closed, so we check before anyone promises a shot.
Visa Assistance
Document checklists, invitation letters, appointment guidance and application support for a Pakistani visa, and visa filing for Pakistanis heading abroad. Current requirements by nationality sit on our visa services page.
Travel Insurance Coordination
Guidance on the cover a Pakistan trip actually needs, including the exclusions that matter on mountain routes, and your policy details kept with the trip file so a claim is straightforward. We are not an insurer: we make sure the cover you buy fits the itinerary.
Special Events & Celebrations
Birthdays, anniversaries, engagements, team retreats and family reunions: the venue, the cake, the decor, the photographer and the transport, arranged as one plan rather than five separate bookings.
Destination Wedding Coordination
Full planning for couples marrying in Hunza, Skardu, Islamabad, Nathia Gali, Naran, Khanpur Dam or Cholistan, from venue and decor to mehndi and walima logistics, guest transport and hotel blocks, with a coordinator on the ground for the days themselves.
If something you need is not on this list, ask. If it can be arranged legally and safely in Pakistan, we will tell you what it costs and whether we can hold it.
How it works
From first message to the last drop-off
No two trips are the same, but the steps are. You always know what is confirmed, what is still quoted and what you are paying for.
Tell us the shape of the trip
Dates, who is travelling, the places you will not skip and a rough budget. A WhatsApp message is enough to start.
A written plan and a firm quote
You get the route, hotels by category, what is included, what is not, and a firm price in rupees or US dollars, itemised rather than bundled.
We confirm, then we hold
Bookings go in your name, payment terms are set out in writing, and names, dates and room types are checked back to you before the season fills.
We run it, and stay reachable
One WhatsApp line, a local coordinator in each region and a named contact for the days you are travelling. Changes are handled by us.
Who we plan for
Four kinds of traveller, one habit of detail
Visitors from abroad
Tours across the twelve regions we cover, with permits, a licensed guide and a route built around the season. Quoted in US dollars.
Overseas Pakistanis
Short family trips, weddings and reunions, usually built around a school holiday or a family date, with transport and hotels handled together.
Travellers living in Pakistan
Weekly public departures, private group tours on your own dates, and corporate or university groups. Quoted in rupees.
Couples and wedding parties
Destination weddings and honeymoons, with venue, decor, guest transport and hotel blocks arranged as one plan.
On the ground
The parts you will actually notice
A vehicle that is clean and on time, a driver who knows the track, and a lunch stop you would never have found on your own. Those three decide how a Pakistan trip feels, and they are the parts we arrange directly.
Coverage
Where we work
We run our own tours in the regions below and arrange transport and hotels well beyond them. If your route crosses several regions, one quote covers the whole line.
Northern Pakistan
Culture, cities and faith
Why travellers hand us the whole trip
One office, one file, one number
A Pakistan trip usually involves a visa, a flight, a hotel, a vehicle, a guide and a permit, and each of those can go wrong on its own. We keep them in the same file so they are checked against each other before you travel, not on the morning you leave.

Questions
Before you ask
Can you arrange only part of a trip, or do I have to book a full tour?
Both. Plenty of clients book only what they need: a car and driver, a hotel block, an airport transfer or a permit. Others hand us the whole itinerary. The quote is itemised either way, so you can see what each piece costs.
Do you work with travellers coming from outside Pakistan?
Yes, that is most of our work. We handle the visa paperwork, the airport pickup, the permits and the route, and international travellers are quoted in US dollars.
How do I get a visa for Pakistan?
It depends on your nationality. Our visa team checks the current rules for your passport, prepares the invitation and hotel documents, and guides the application. Requirements change, so we confirm them at the time you apply.
Is travel insurance required?
We recommend cover for medical treatment, evacuation and cancellation on every trip, and we will check that a policy includes the altitude and activities on your route. Insurance is not sold by us, so you are free to use any provider.
Can you fly a drone at our wedding or on the tour?
Sometimes. Drone use in Pakistan needs permission and some areas are closed to drones entirely. Tell us the location and the date and we will tell you what is possible before you plan around a shot.
How far ahead should I book?
For a wedding or a group in peak season, as early as you can: the good venues and the valley-view rooms go first. For a private tour outside the holidays, a few weeks is usually enough.
Do you arrange trips for people living in Pakistan?
Yes. Public group departures at a fixed price per seat, private group tours quoted on party size, and hotels, transport and domestic flights for travellers who simply want the arrangements handled.
Next step
Tell us what you need arranged
Send the dates, the number of travellers and the parts you want us to handle: a full tour, a car and driver, hotels for three nights, a visa, or a wedding for two hundred guests. You will get a written plan and a firm price, itemised.
