Pakistan is a very typical South Asian country, located at the northern end of the Indian subcontinent. It is an ancient country with a long history. The folk customs here are very rich, and all kinds of delicious food and beautiful scenery are waiting for you to explore and explore. Here, I will share with you the consumption situation and strategies of Pakistan tourism.
The tourist season in Pakistan is from October to February of the following year, and other periods are the off-season. If the exchange rate is calculated according to the answer date, it is RMB: Pakistani rupee = 1: 18.11959
1. Visa fees
Visas in Pakistan can be handled at consulates in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Chengdu. Prepare the following materials: visa application form, ID card, passport and its photocopy, two 35mm*45mm photo certificates, employment certificate, guarantee letter or invitation letter issued by Pakistani travel agency. Submit the materials to the embassy for review and signing.
As for the processing fee, official website wrote: "The visa processing methods in Pakistan are different, and the tourist visa fee is also different. If the applicant personally goes to the Pakistani embassy or consulate in China to apply for a tourist visa in Pakistan, there is no need to pay the fee. Because Pakistan and China have signed a visa exemption agreement, private passport holders are exempt from visa fees for visas. "
if an intermediary is needed, the cost is not the other party's pricing. Taobao can be done in 3 yuan. Although it will cost more money, it will be much more convenient than handling it yourself. The subject can refer to it by himself.
2. Transportation
Arriving in Pakistan: At present, there are very few domestic flights to Pakistan. A more convenient plan is to take a direct flight to Urumqi to Lahore or Islamabad, and the price is about 2, yuan (including tax
). The difference between air tickets in light and peak seasons is not particularly great, so we can estimate that the round-trip air ticket price is about 4, yuan. If you arrive in Islamabad or Rajal and want to go to Karachi, this fee will need to be calculated separately.
in Pakistan: the traffic in Pakistani cities is rather crowded and chaotic. Taxis are of low grade and low price. People usually travel by bus, taxi and private car. Motorcycle tricycles, horse-drawn carriages and mule carts are locally called Tongas, which can be stopped on call and can take three to four people, making them suitable for driving around to see the city scenery. After 7 days, we can estimate the approximate price around 5 yuan.
3. Accommodation
The overall consumption level in Pakistan is not high, and the accommodation cost is relatively conscientious ~~
The average hotel in Islamabad, Lahore and Karachi will cost around 8-1 RMB, while the hotels such as B&B and youth tours will be cheaper, and the accommodation price in three-star hotels will be around 2 yuan (the accommodation cost in Karachi will be a little more expensive). The price fluctuation in off-peak season is about 2% on this basis. It is worth reminding that no matter where you live, you must pay attention to safety!
IV. Diet
Pakistan is an Islamic country, so it is unrealistic to eat pork. Pakistan's overall diet is spicy, generally there are more stews, and the staple food is a kind of wheat pancake called "Chabati".
If you just want to eat enough and don't have excessive demands on your diet, basically 5-8 yuan a day will do. It should be noted that there will still be a "tradition" of tipping in Batie's restaurants. There are also more economical schemes and more expensive schemes, and the topic owner can consider it for himself.
To sum up, Tiaoniu sets the price of food around 6 yuan.
5. Tickets for scenic spots and shopping
For sightseeing, Pakistan's famous scenic spots are: the boundary pillar at the Khirlafu Pass (the fare is 8 yuan), the Badshahi Mosque (free), the Faisal Mosque (free), the Lahore National Museum (4 rupees =23 yuan RMB, if you need to take photos, you will have to pay extra), Lahore Castle (5 rupees =28 yuan) and Xiahou.
PS: The fare may fluctuate, depending on the actual situation.
As for shopping, Pakistani carpets, cashmere woolen goods, plates made of silver or brass, vases, wood carvings, ivory, dolls with ethnic flavor, utensils made from camel viscera, etc. can all be counted as local products of Pakistan.
In the local area, you can go shopping in ZaiunnisaStreet, AHaloonRoad and MAZinnah
Road. Except for shops set up by the government, which don't bargain, other shops had better bargain so as not to be cheated. There is no consumption tax for purchasing local products, and 3% consumption tax is required for imported goods. In the scenic spot and shopping area, Tiaoniu is supposed to be 1 yuan.
VI. Final Summary
In summary, the approximate cost of going to Pakistan is 7,1 yuan in the off-season and 7,3 yuan in the peak season, which is still very low.
Pakistani rupees and US dollars can be used for payment in Pakistan. It is estimated that by the end of 218, Pakistan will be able to use Alipay for payment, and WeChat payment may have to wait for some time.

According to Tiaoniu, Pakistan's public security is not optimistic in recent years, so if you want to go there, you must put safety first. Karachi is a relatively safe big city in Pakistan, so it is better to suggest that the subject visit here.
However, the consumption level is higher than that of Islamabad and Lahore, and the flight fee will be higher, which is about RMB 3,5 per trip. In short, when traveling, remember to pay attention to personal and property safety, have fun and come back safely.
