About Islamabad
Islamabad is the capital of Pakistan, a planned city at the foot of the Margalla Hills, home to the national government, embassies and the Faisal Mosque. It sits next to the older city of Rawalpindi, and diplomats, aid workers and families abroad frequently need its local time.
Pakistan Standard Time is UTC+5, with no daylight saving, and the whole country uses it, so Islamabad shows the same time as Karachi and Lahore. Across the border, India is half an hour ahead on UTC+5:30, an easy detail to miss. Islamabad is five hours ahead of London in winter and four in summer.
