Pakistan generally experiences a hot and arid climate, with variations due to geographic conditions. Temperatures can reach around 46 degrees Celsius in the plains during June and drop to 4-5 degrees Celsius in January and February, especially in mountainous terrains. Therefore, the best times to travel are spring and autumn, despite regional climate differences.
Significant days in Pakistan include Republic Day, Ashura, March 23rd (Pakistan Day), August 14th (Independence Day), Eid al-Adha, Eid al-Fitr and Christmas.
Pakistan's cuisine, which shares commonalities with Indian cuisine, is rich and diverse. Meat, vegetables, legumes, bread, and rice are staples, and spices are heavily involved. Rice frequently accompanies meals. Notable dishes include chapati, paratha, puri, chicken korma, balti masala, and zarda pilaf.
