About Lahore

Lahore is the capital of Punjab province and Pakistan's second-largest city, regarded as the country's cultural heart. It is known for Mughal landmarks such as the Badshahi Mosque, Lahore Fort and the Shalimar Gardens, as well as its food streets, universities, textile industry and a growing technology sector serving international clients.

Lahore runs on Pakistan Standard Time, UTC+5, with no daylight saving. All of Pakistan, including Karachi and Islamabad, uses this single zone. Lahore sits half an hour behind India, which uses UTC+5:30, so the time changes by 30 minutes when crossing the nearby border at Wagah. Its offset to the UK is five hours in winter and four hours during British Summer Time.
