Long weekends are on the horizon, people! Now, it’s up to you whether to sleep through them or use them effectively.
As the holiday season nears, many of you may be planning trips to make the best use of your vacations.
Whether you’ve already planned or are entirely in the dark about the upcoming long weekend, we have compiled trip ideas for you to enjoy.
Thank God for the Long Weekend!
The long weekend will come courtesy of Quaid Day, 25th December. This public holiday is on Friday, which gives you a 3-day weekend from Friday 25th December to Sunday 27th December. Taking Thursday 24th December off will provide you with a 4-day weekend.
With international travelling in a bit of a mess due to COVID, we suggest a local adventure. Let’s go over some of the top places, one-by-one:
First and foremost are the northern areas, if you haven’t been there already. Skardu and Gilgit are prime locations to visit right now. The temperature is hovering around the freezing point, but that is manageable with the right clothes. Plus, you can’t say no to the snow!
Four days is not a lot of time, so you better get moving as soon as you get there. In Skardu, you can visit the upper and lower kachura lakes and the Shangrila Resort. On the other hand, Hunza is the top place to tour in Gilgit. Once there, make sure to visit Baltit Fort and Attabad Lake.
What’s more, PIA is offering a deal where you can fly to Gilgit and Skardu each for only Rs. 6915. Book your tickets before the offer runs out!
Apart from these, you can plan for Ziarat and Quetta. A trip to Quaid’s house on 25th December? Sign us up. Moreover, you can find some fantastic scenery to feast your eyes on in these locations.
To sweeten the deal, there’s a 10% discount on a complete trip package to Ziarat and Quetta, including food and accommodation. Don’t miss out!
If you can’t be bothered with an adventure, then visiting the major cities of Pakistan can work for you. Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad have a lot to offer in terms of sightseeing and food. Visit Karachi for the beach, Lahore for it’s culture, and Islamabad for peace. Moreover, these cities never get old so you can revisit them and still have a good time!
In addition to that, you can find some cool discounts for Serene Air and PIA flights to these cities on Sastaticket.pk.
Looking For a Shorter Adventure?
If you want to seriously explore the beauty of Pakistan but don’t want to spend the whole weekend on it, then we recommend a one-day trip to Gorakh Hills or Chaaro Machi Waterfall.
The Gorakh Hill Station is a popular spot in Dadu district of Balochistan, where you can find the most amazing view of the stars at night from the top of the hill. On the other hand, Chaaro Machi Waterfall is a crazy offroad trip to one of the hidden gems of Khuzdar, Balochistan. Make sure you are prepared for adventure and fun when you go on these trips.
All in all, this long weekend is probably the only one we’ll get for a long time, so it’s better to enjoy it to the fullest. If you need more information about airlines and tourism services, visit Peekaboo Guru today!
