Details of Travel Advice
- The UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) provides travel advice based on objective information to help British Nationals make better-informed decisions about foreign travel.
- The new travel advice for Pakistan reduces the section of the Karakoram Highway where the Foreign and Commonwealth Office(FCO) advises against all travel to the area between Mansehra and Chilas alone (previous travel advice covered the full route from Islamabad to Gilgit). Travelers may bypass this section by taking the alternative route through the Kaghan Valley and Babusar Pass.
- The Foreign and Commonwealth Office( FCO) no longer advises against all but essential travel to the Kalesh and Bamboret Valleys.
- The FCO advises against all travel to most of Balochistan including the city of Quetta. This is except for the southern coast of Balochistan, including the city of Gwadar, where the FCO advises against all but essential travel.
- Like all FCO travel advice, these changes are based on security assessments, which are kept under constant review
In 2018, there were an estimated 484,000 visits by British nationals to Pakistan. There are 22 weekly direct flights to the UK.
