What to pack for Lahore

When traveling to Lahore, it's important to pack clothing suitable for the climate, which is generally hot and humid.

Lightweight and breathable fabrics such as cotton and linen are essential, as they will help keep you cool and comfortable. Be sure to bring plenty of loose-fitting clothes to allow for air circulation. During the warmer months, lightweight tops, skirts, dresses, and shorts are ideal for staying comfortable in the heat.

It's also important to pack sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat to protect yourself from the strong sun. In the cooler months, a light sweater or jacket may be necessary for the evenings when the temperature drops. Given the conservative nature of Pakistani society, it's best to avoid overly revealing clothing.

Additionally, when visiting mosques or other religious sites, both men and women should dress modestly out of respect.
