How much does it cost to travel to Pakistan? Can Pakistan use RMB?

Pakistan is a typical South Asian country, located at the northern end of the Indian subcontinent. This is an ancient country with a long history. The folk customs here are very rich, and all kinds of food are waiting for you to discover and explore. Here, I want to share with you the consumption situation and strategies of Pakistan tourism.

The tourist season in Pakistan is from 10 to February of the following year, and other periods are off-season. According to the exchange rate, it is RMB: Pakistani rupee =1:18.11959.

I. Visa fees

Visas for Pakistan can be processed at consulates in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Chengdu. Prepare the following materials: visa application form, ID card, passport and its copy, two 35mm*45mm photos, employment certificate, letter of guarantee or invitation letter issued by Pakistan travel agency. Submit the materials to the embassy for review and collection.

As for the handling fee, official website said: "The handling fee for Pakistani tourist visas is different. If the applicant applies for a tourist visa to Pakistan in person at the China Embassy or Consulate in Pakistan, there is no need to pay the fee. Because Pakistan and China signed an agreement on mutual visa exemption fees, holders of private passports are exempt from visa fees when applying for visas. "

If an intermediary is needed, the fee is not set by the other party. Taobao can be done for 300 yuan. Although it will cost more money, it will be much more convenient than handling it yourself. Masters can refer to it for themselves.

Second, the flow.

Arriving in Pakistan: At present, there are few domestic flights to Pakistan. A more convenient plan is to go directly from Urumqi to Lahore or Islamabad. The price is around 2,000 yuan (including tax), and the price difference of off-season air tickets is not particularly large, so we can estimate that the round-trip air ticket price is around 4,000 yuan. If you arrive in Islamabad or Rajal and want to go to Karachi, this fee needs to be calculated separately.

Inside Pakistan: The traffic in Pakistani cities is quite crowded and chaotic. Taxis are of low grade and low price. People usually travel by bus, taxi and private car. Motorcycles, horse-drawn carriages and mule carts are called Tongas locally and can stop at any time. They can take three or four people, which is suitable for sightseeing in the city. After 7 days, the approximate price can be estimated around 500 yuan.

Three. live

Pakistan's overall consumption level is not high, and the accommodation cost is still conscience ~ ~

The prices of ordinary hotels in Islamabad, Lahore and Karachi are around RMB 80- 100, while the prices of BB and CYTS are cheaper. The accommodation price of a three-star hotel is around 200 yuan (Karachi will be more expensive). On this basis, the off-season price fluctuates by about 20%. It is worth reminding that no matter where you live, you must pay attention to safety!

Four. prescribe a diet

Pakistan is an Islamic country, so it is unrealistic to eat pork. Pakistan's overall diet is spicy, and there are usually more stews. The staple food is a kind of wheat pancake called Chabati.

If you just want to eat enough and don't make excessive demands on your diet, basically 50-80 yuan a day is enough. It should be noted that Batie Restaurant still has a "tradition" of tipping. There are many schemes to save money and many schemes to spend money. The subject can think independently.

In terms of sightseeing, Pakistan has some famous scenic spots, such as the boundary pillar of the Red Flag Royal Air Force Pass (ticket 80 yuan), Badshahi Mosque (free of charge), Faisal Mosque (free of charge), Lahore National Museum (400 rupees =23 yuan RMB, if you take pictures, you need to pay extra), Lahore Castle (500 rupees =28 yuan) and Shalimar Park (500 rupees =28 yuan).

In the local area, you can go shopping on Zaiunnisa Street, AHaloon Road and MAZinnah Road. Except for shops set up by the government, which don't bargain, other shops had better bargain to avoid being cheated. There is no consumption tax for local products, and 30% is added for imported goods. In scenic spots and shopping areas, girls should be 1000 yuan.

Cash withdrawals in Pakistan will be collected by domestic card-issuing banks, and local ATM acceptance agencies in Pakistan may charge extra fees. Please pay attention to the screen prompt of ATM machine.

Whether it is cash payment or credit card payment, girls should remind everyone to pay attention to the safety of using cards. The girl who jumped off a building once had a friend who returned home after traveling in Bali and found her credit card stolen. Fortunately, she bought Alipay insurance and bank card insurance, and finally got full payment.

According to the girl who jumped off the building, the public security in Pakistan is not optimistic in recent years. If you want to go, you must put safety first. Karachi is a relatively safe big city in Pakistan, so it is better for you to travel here.

However, the consumption level is higher than that of Islamabad and Lahore, and the flight cost will be higher, about 3,500 yuan for one way. In short, pay attention to personal and property safety when traveling, have fun and come back safely.
