Why people fly Oslo to Lahore

For many people in Oslo, a trip to Lahore is the highlight of the year. Children meet cousins, parents catch up with old friends, and families share long meals and celebrations. Others travel for business or to manage property and paperwork, and some visit for medical or professional reasons. Norway's long summer school holiday and the winter break both suit family travel. Visitors without family ties are drawn by Mughal heritage, the old city lanes and the food.

Best time to travel

Summer is the warm season, with monsoon rain adding greenery, and it coincides with Norwegian school holidays. Mornings and evenings are lovely for outings, and Ramadan and Eid give the city a warm, social atmosphere.
