Why people fly Manchester to Islamabad
Islamabad is a green, calm city at the foot of the Margalla Hills, and a gateway to Murree, Naran and the Kaghan Valley. British Pakistani families visit for summer reunions and Eid, while others come for hiking, mountain scenery and cooler hill stations. The airport is a convenient start for family journeys by road.
Best time to travel
Spring and autumn offer clear skies and mild weather. Summer is lively with family gatherings and a short drive to cooler hill stations. Winter evenings are crisp, ideal for tea and warm food. Eid and the summer holidays are the busiest, so compare options early.
