Traveller notes on Islamabad in September
Other months in Islamabad
The forum's April advice for Islamabad is specific about which half of the month: early April suits a walking trip, while late April is already turning hot across the plains — Lahore, Peshawar and Islamabad alike. The record puts the month at about 28°C by day cooling to 15 at night, with rain on roughly eight days. Two days is what regulars allocate to Islamabad and Rawalpindi together. April's other argument is what it opens up north: spring reaches Chitral and the Kalash valleys this month, so it is the natural month to pair the capital with the mountains rather than linger in the heat.
