Only PIA and British Airways have direct flights from London to Islamabad, though the journey involves changing planes. More information on this adventurous route to Pakistan will be available on this page as it becomes available. More information on this way of entry will be available later on. Shorter journeys are subsidized by the government, so a flight to Gilgit or Skardu is not that much more expansive than taking the bus. Pakistan International Airways has many routes within Pakistan.
More information is to follow.
Many of the railways are feats of engineering, rising through hilly, difficult terrain and crossing mighty rivers and long bridges. Steam engines are very common. The trains can get very crowded, so it is best to make reservations several days in advance. Passengers on First class provide their own bedding. A sleeper has to be booked separately from the First Class ticket.
