Best Time to Visit Swat Kalam

High Season (June-August & November-December): Vacationing families and Pakistani travelers on extended holiday make the summer months one of the most popular times to visit Swat Valley. Many locals leave the city during this time, however, which means that it can feel less crowded even while tourism is high. The Thanksgiving-summer holiday season is a huge draw for tourists, festivity is high and the city is at its most packed. During both of these busy tourism periods, expect airfare and hotel rates to be at their peak and availability to be low. Book well in advance.

Shoulder Season (March-May & September-October): Though tourism isn’t quite peaking during these months, they are still incredibly popular times to visit Swat Valley. Mild weather makes the spring and fall seasons ideal for exploring the Swat on foot, whether to a backdrop of blooms and open air markets in the springtime, or the changing colors of Central Park trees in the fall. High prices and low availability for both transport and hotels is to be expected.

Low Season (January-Early March): New York City is at its quietest during these cold mid-winter months, when snow is common and temperatures hover between 1 and 4°C. Hotel occupancy rates dip below 90%, and restaurant reservations and theater tickets are easier to come by. The drop in temperature means a drop in both airfare and hotel rates, which makes this a great time to visit the city if you’re looking for a bargain and are not bothered by a little cold.
