Lahore to Karachi Heritage Route

Overview

For travellers with time, this is one of the great journeys of South Asia: an overland heritage route from Lahore to Karachi, tracing the Indus through the length of Pakistan. It threads Mughal Punjab, the Sufi shrines of Multan, the Indus Valley sites, the living heritage of Sindh (Sukkur, the shrines of Sehwan and beyond) and, ultimately, the coastal megacity of Karachi and the Arabian Sea.

It’s a demanding but deeply rewarding trip that reveals Pakistan’s full historical sweep. We structure it with a mix of private driving and strategic flights, comfortable hotels and expert guiding throughout. Priced on request around duration, comfort level and included sites.
