READ FIRST - safety
Many governments advise caution or advise against travel to parts of Pakistan, especially the areas near the Afghan border, Balochistan and parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and tensions with neighbouring countries can close borders and airspace. Check the Indonesian Foreign Ministry (Kemlu) and other governments' advisories just before you book, tell the Indonesian embassy where you will be, and travel with a local guide or reputable operator. Some northern areas need a permit - ask your operator.
Entry
Most sources say Indonesian citizens apply for a Pakistan e-Visa online (reported stay up to about 90 days for tourism), but some sources disagree, so check the official portal and the Pakistani embassy in Jakarta before you book. Apply only on the official site - agents charge far more. The portal may show an access check before it opens. Bring a passport valid for 6 months, a return ticket and hotel details.
Culture and laws - take note
Pakistan is a conservative Muslim country, famous for hospitality. Dress modestly: the shalwar kameez is welcome, women often carry a scarf; cover shoulders and knees. Use the right hand to eat and give. Greet with 'Assalamu alaikum'. Alcohol is restricted and drugs carry severe penalties. Ramadan changes daily life: do not eat or drink in public in daylight. Ask before photographing people, especially women, and do not photograph military or government sites. Heat is extreme in summer and monsoon rain (July-September) causes floods and landslides - check mountain road conditions. Drink only bottled water. Halal food everywhere.
Emergency
Reported numbers: police 15, rescue and ambulance 1122 (in many cities), fire 16 - confirm with your hotel or guide.
