Overview
Lahore and Karachi are Pakistan’s two great poles, one ancient, inland and Mughal; the other a sprawling, cosmopolitan port on the Arabian Sea. Pairing them shows the country’s full range: Karachi’s colonial-era architecture (Empress Market, Frere Hall), the Quaid’s Mausoleum, teeming bazaars, superb seafood and the sea itself at Clifton.
Because they’re ~1,200 km apart, we link them by a short domestic flight rather than an epic drive, giving you time in each. Overland heritage routing via Multan and the Indus is also possible, see our heritage-route tour. Priced on request.
