Local Tips

Carry cash as many places don't accept cards; local rickshaws are a cheap, convenient way to get around; stay hydrated during hot months.

Cultural Etiquette

Dress modestly; women should cover arms and legs in public. Tipping (5-10%) is appreciated in restaurants. Always remove shoes before entering shrines or homes.

Safety Warnings

Avoid poorly lit areas in the Inner City at night and keep valuables secure, as pickpocketing can occur in crowded bazaars. Use official taxis or ride-sharing apps rather than unlicensed vehicles.

Hidden Gems

Explore the Hussain Agahi Bazaar for authentic handicrafts, the Sawi Mosque (one of the oldest in the region), and the serene Shah Shams Park for sunset views over the Chenab River.
