Top Pakistan hotels
Helpfulness
Luggage and bags: Almost every thing is available in cities like Lahore, Islamabad, Karachi and Peshawar.
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Light and comfortable cloth (try to wear shalwar kameez - the local dress). Warm cloths are needed for mountain areas. Avoid wearing shorts in public places. Strong shoes for trekking in the mountains.
Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Do'nt forget to bring essential medical drugs as you will hardly find any good medical store in tourist resorts or mountain areas.
Photo Equipment: All brands of camera films are available everywhere and at much cheaper rates as compared to Europe.
Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: There are very few camping sites and it is not safe to stay outside during nights. However you can bring sleeping bags.

Helpfulness
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: sandals are a must, since you take off shoes every time you enter a home or a religious place, also it is very hot in Pakistan take cool clothing and if you are a woman it is advisable to take head covering, especially importan to wear during prayer times
Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Antibiotics, are a must since our immune system is not as strong in Pakistan, the water is not very sanitary and some of the prepared food can cause bacterial infections, take aspirin, and vitamins with you
Photo Equipment: all electrical outlets are 220 so be sure to bring an adapter for any electrical products you take with you and take plenty of extra batteries and film with you
