Spending Budget for Miscellaneous:
From past trips and traveler feedback, “Click Pakistan” recommends 25 USD as the daily budget for drinks, lunch, etc. Of course, everyone has different spending habits, so daily spending varies from person to person, but there’s not much you need to spend as most items are already covered in the package. But make sure your budget if you’re planning to buy some items, such as a carpet, antique or wear stones. Then you might need to increase more budget.
How to bring your currency?
It’s best to bring all of your money in a combination of debit/credit cards and cash. Some places may not accept any credit/debit cards in general, so it is better to bring some hard cash for the safe side. ATMs are may be hard to find in some areas and can be out of service, or the cards might not be accepted all the time, so having some US dollars in cash would be a useful backup, especially when you’re traveling. You can easily change the currency in Islamabad.
