All of Pakistan's hiking paths are located in its northern mountain ranges. The Karakoram's mountain towns are far more liberal than others. Girls frequently wear jeans and tight shirts in modern, cosmopolitan places like Islamabad, Karachi, and Lahore, for instance. During your vacation in Pakistan, you are permitted to wear a t-shirt and jeans or pants.
As a woman, will I be allowed to wear shorts during trekking?
Yes, you can wear your shorts during the trek without any concerns. A picture of commonly used shorts is given below.
Will I need to cover my head in Pakistan?
In no way! Except when touring a house of worship, there is no requirement that you cover your head. Usually, your hosts (the tour guide, family, etc.) will let you know if and when it's necessary.
However, a few advice for women is provided below.
Clothing Tips for Women Trekking in Pakistan
In Pakistan, exposing one's cleavage is not particularly frequent.
It is not advisable to wear shorts in cities and towns. To avoid curious looks, it is preferable if clothing could cover both the shoulders and the knees.
In cities and towns, it is advised to wear a cotton shirt or t-shirt with cotton trousers or even an ankle-length skirt.
Women must wear long skirts or long pants and have their shoulders covered when going to places of worship (mosques, temples, gurudwaras, or mausoleums). Additionally, remember to take off your shoes before entering any place of worship.
Carrying a scarf or light to protect your head in case it gets too hot is advised. It might be useful in areas where wearing a head covering is required, such as churches.
Please view the photos that were captured below. You can get a notion of what is appropriate in a holy location from two of them. All of them were captured in Pakistan.
