Follow a conservative dress code and try to dress as locals. It is better to have someone from the city as a guide. In the case of an emergency, call police by 15 from any landline phone.

• Ambulance Access To get an ambulance in case of an emergency, dial 115 from any landline or cellphone.

If you found yourself in serious trouble and need any type of emergency rescue or help then feel free to dial 1122 . The name of the emergency service is "Rescue 1122".

• Cholistan Desert of Bahawalpur - You can make an interesting excursions from Bahawalpur, a half day trip (no four-wheel drive vehicle required) to Derawar Fort (Qila Derawar), through the semi-desert of Cholistan.

Best to take a guide for Derawar fort - although with a GPS and a pre-planned route you could self drive. You also need permission from the present Amir of Bahawalpur to get inside the fort. The drive takes two hours on a sealed road through fascinating barren landscape. The Cholistan Desert covers 26,000 km 2 (10,000 sq miles) and extends into the Thar desert to India. The whole area was once well watered by the river Ghaggar, now called the Hakara in Pakistan, and known in vedic times as the Sarasvati. All along the 500 km (300 miles) of the dried-up river are over 400 archaeological sites. Most of these date from the Indus civilisation, 45,00 years ago, and are clustered round Derawar Fort, the only perennial water hole in the desert.

There is very little to make out today. The desert has an average rainfall of 12 cm (5 inches) a year, and there is very little civilisation. The underground water is brackish. The few people of the desert dig artificial wells in the troughs between the sand hills and use camels to draw the water up.

• Fort Darawar - Derawar Fort (Qila Derawar) is in good condition, its walls are intact and still guarded by soldiers in fezes. Its age is unknown. The tombs of the Amirs of Bahawalpur are also at Derawar, decorated with attractive blue glazed tiles contrasting with the ochre landscape. Some of the cannons which were used times ago by the Army of Bahawalpur are also kept in this fort.

They say it’s better to travel than to arrive, but it is easier said than done! To travel well one needs to plan the subtle elements knowingly ahead of time. For the majority of us, the planning stage is generally the dull piece before the fun begins – yet by putting a touch of time and energy into travel planning before taking off, you can relax and enjoy your travel a great deal more.

Undoubtedly, the level of planning required will depend generally on where you are going, for what purpose, for example, a vacation with family or a business trip, to what extent, a suitable accommodation and what you plan to do once there. Some of the imperative things to consider, for example, selection of the best airlines, purchase of tickets, getting the visa and hotel bookings, rent a car, tour guides and places to see or visit.

So WHY DO I NEED A TRAVEL AGENCY at all? I’ll just hop on to the worldwide web and Google whatever is required. Hold on is it as simple as that? Not really! Although with some effort you will be able to find most of the required information on the internet but the role of a Travel Agency comes in when you are looking for real value for your money. So let’s tackle this one by one..... more

So WHY DO I NEED A TRAVEL AGENCY at all? I’ll just hop on to the worldwide web and Google whatever is required. Hold on is it as simple as that? Not really! Although with some effort you will be able to find most of the required information on the internet but the role of a Travel Agency comes in when you are looking for real value for your money. So let’s tackle this one by one;

Finding the best airlines?

Most airlines in Pakistan have their own offices in all major cities of the country and information for the same is available on the internet – see Airline Offices in Pakistan . So once you have decided upon your destination you could start calling each one of these airlines to find the fares, check availability, check transit duration if any and then visit the best one to buy the ticket. Or you can talk to a Travel Agency and let them do all of this work and come up with the best possible option. Your ticket shall then be delivered at your doorstep!

Applying for the visa?

Information about visa requirements is also available on the websites of embassies and consulates of foreign countries – see Embassies in Pakistan . But when you contact these embassies you find out that most of the countries have outsourced their visa application collection process to various large groups of Travel Agencies in Pakistan.

For example Schengen Visa Applications for France is being processed by AEG Travel Services along with visas for US, Dubai, Malaysia, Vietnam and Thailand. Similarly visa applications for UK, Argentina, India, Oman, Thailand, UAE, Kenya, Brazil and Turkey are being processed through Gerry’s International.

Note that visa application and fulfilling its requirements is a complicated process and a Travel Agency can provide guidance and assistance for the same, especially for first time travellers.

Hotel selection and reservations?

In this age of search engines and online payments, hotel selection and reservation is one of the easiest things to do on the internet. You can log in to thousands of hotel booking sites offering global discounts and special deals for example www.tripadvisor.com, www.booking.com and www.hotels.com.

So all is done on this count, at least I do not need a Travel Agency for booking a hotel! Not so fast. Bookings are easier done than cancelations and refunds. Even rescheduling on hotel bookings made on the internet can be difficult. A well planned smooth sailing vacation is all anyone could want, but there is always a chance for a last minute change of plans. Here a Travel Agency can play a big role and can be like an insurance policy. A good travel agency can assist you in finding another suitable accommodation plus handle the cancelation and refund issues, hence saving you a big hassle.   

Rent a car, tour guides and places to visit?

If you are visiting a destination for the first time it is unlikely that you know the area and are aware of all the exciting tourism spots to visit. Here also a Travel Agency can help in arranging transportation and tour guide services which can make your holiday all the more fun.

So if you choose to work with a good Travel Agency all of the above-mentioned planning tasks can be outsourced to them, leaving you with enough time on your hands to fully enjoy your trip. Not only can it provide you services the internet cannot but the best part is they don’t charge you the additional fees they pay to vendors.

Lookup.pk offers hundreds of directory listings of Travel Agencies in all major cities of Pakistan such as Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Gujranwala, Sialkot, Hyderabad, Peshawar, Quetta and should be a good starting point for travellers to find a good travel and tours company.

What is Labour’s plan for rail travel and will it make tickets cheaper?

Party wants to fully nationalise train network within five years of coming to power, in ‘biggest rail reform for a generation’

Labour has made one of its most radical proposals yet in the run-up to an election campaign: to fully nationalise the train network within five years of coming to power.

The party has pledged to guarantee the cheapest fares as part of “the biggest reform of our railways for a generation”, bringing all passenger rail into national ownership under the Great British Railways (GBR) body.

So, how difficult would the plan be to enact and what does it mean for passengers?

How would Labour’s plan for Great British Railways change the way the trains are run?

The headline change is nationalisation: the ambition that all passenger train operations, at least, should return to public ownership. But the wider aim is that control of trains and tracks – “wheels and steel”, as some put it – is brought back under one unified structure, at arm’s length from the government.

The actual railway infrastructure is already managed by the state-owned Network Rail, since the disastrous tenure of Railtrack in the early days of privatisation, and train operations in Scotland, Wales and a large chunk of England are in public ownership. So a fully renationalised railway (bar the rolling stock and freight) is not as big a step as it may once have sounded – and arguably the pragmatic extension of the plans drawn up by the Conservatives in 2021, to end the fragmentation and waste in the system.

How long will the changes take?

Labour said it would get the ball rolling on day one. Given the years it has taken for the Conservatives’ GBR plans to crystallise into a draft bill that has scant chance of passing before an election, supporters of the changes would be forgiven for not holding their breath for legislation. But some of the spadework has been done by the GBR transition team, and Labour will be hoping for a more stable tenancy in Downing Street to see the policy through. It is, it stresses, a long-term plan.

As far as nationalisation of the train operators goes, most of the contracts of remaining operators will expire naturally within the next term, while the government can exercise break clauses in others, such as Avanti West Coast and Cross Country.

What would the trains look like?

Eventually, they would all be GBR-branded trains rather than the individual liveries and logos of different operators. Labour hopes that this will make things simpler for passengers, avoiding confusion over ticketing, as well as cutting costs.

Would it make train travel cheaper?

Possibly, but not for a while yet. Labour says it wants to make the railway more affordable but has definitively avoided any pledges to cut or even freeze the overall level of fares.

However, it believes that its plans will eventually save £2.2bn a year by avoiding the duplication and bureaucracy brought on by the current system, where the Department for Transport tightly controls and specifies contracts for the private firms, and reams of staff are employed in back-end roles. That could give ministers some scope to use more of the billions in annual taxpayer subsidy to bring fares down long-term.

What about this best-price guarantee?

Make that an “ambition”, according to the policy document . It’s testament to the complexity, or occasional absurdity, of UK rail fares that even after years of industry focus on improving the system, renationalising looks an easier promise than telling a passenger they’ve paid the right amount.

Things can be improved, Labour says, as contactless tap-in and tap-out payments extend through more and more of the country, opening up the possibility of a Transport for London-style system, where fares are streamlined and automatically capped or refunded.

The shadow transport secretary, Louise Haigh, pointedly chose the headquarters of Trainline in central London to launch her plans on Thursday, paying tribute to the travel app firm’s “relentless focus on passengers [and] improving their experience”. Trainline shares fell 10%, even though Labour says it has no plans to replace the private firm with a single state retailer.

But given that the app’s business depends on people paying extra to cut through the railway’s confusing fares, fragmentation and lack of a decent central ticketing site, Trainline shareholder nerves might be taken as a vote of confidence that GBR will improve the industry’s own offering.

How else might passengers benefit?

Labour says it would leave the running of the railway to the experts – but the transport secretary would set strategy and take on the role of passenger-in-chief, and the industry would not be “marking its own homework”.

The plan aims to strengthen the voice of passengers by rolling together the various bodies currently meant to be standing up for them – the watchdog Transport Focus and the little-known Rail Ombudsman, as well as a few divisions of the Office of Rail and Road.

What will happen to the private operators?

Their representatives at Rail Partners warn that it will be “messy” and the railway will lose their expertise. But the people actually running train operators, right up to the managing directors, have typically stayed in post with a different coloured badge when the owning groups moved on, and passengers at say, Southeastern or LNER may not feel life is very different. Firms once regarded as pillars of privatised rail such as Stagecoach, National Express (now Mobico) and Virgin have long exited UK rail already, pursuing business elsewhere.
