Welcome to the TravelCo.pk travel blog. Our guides are written to help travellers from Pakistan plan better trips — whether you are heading to Hunza for the first time, planning a family weekend in Naran, preparing for Umrah or applying for your first international visa. We share practical information based on real trips: when to go, how long to stay, what to pack, how much time to allow for mountain roads and how to avoid common mistakes.
Northern Pakistan travel guides
Our northern guides cover Hunza, Skardu, Fairy Meadows, Naran Kaghan, Swat and other destinations in Gilgit-Baltistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. You will find month-by-month advice on the best time to visit, suggested itineraries for different trip lengths, tips for travelling with children and elderly family members, and information on road conditions, permits and altitude.
Umrah guides
Our Umrah articles help pilgrims prepare practically and spiritually, with checklists for documents, clothing, medicines and money, explanations of the rituals and advice on choosing the right package and hotels. Because Saudi rules change from time to time, we update our guides regularly and always recommend confirming the latest requirements with your agent.
International travel and visa guides
Planning to travel abroad? Our international guides cover destinations like Dubai and Turkey, while our visa guide for Pakistani passport holders explains entry requirements country by country — from visa-free destinations and visas on arrival to eVisas and embassy applications.
