DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIMEThere don’t seem to be any.
Recommend contacting them or their consulate to avoid problems entering the country or using the drone/photographing illegally.Drone Laws in Pakistan | UAV Coach (2023)

For upcoming Tanzania and Kenya trip (September), I am thinking of buying the Mini 2 and just carrying it along, just in case. I can afford to have it confiscated. I will not buy the fly more package and I already have a $200 credit on Amazon for returned merchandise. So $499-$200 credit= $300.00 loss if confiscated.
And oh by the way, I did a 2 week guided driving trip in Northern Pakistan (Karakoram Highway) all the way up to the Chinese border and 50 miles from Afghanistan; It was the wildest place my wife and I have ever been. Crude, unsanitary hotels, rough roads, and the soldiers and police take no crap. You are likely to be jailed, if not kidnapped and ransomed.
The country is wild and open and vast in the north of Pakistan.
I spent about 30 minutes after writing to you looking for my old pictures of our Pakistan trip. Unfortunately, that was in the days of regular slide film (1990) and not digital and my only record is a DVD that I made. If you are going up north, near Gilgit (where we started from- e.g.: Karachi>Islamabad>Gilgit) the country is very wild. There are millions of miles of open spaces. The Karakorams and the Baltoro Glacier and Mt. Rakaposhi (spectacular) are great vistas for the drone. Once you get the little Mavic Mini 2 past the customs guy, I think you would have it made. We drove from Gilgit northwards on treacherous roads, only enough for one vehicle. Now the Chinese Belt and Road program has constructed a gorgeous highway. We drove up from Gilgit-Hunza, Karimabad, through Sost- Mt. Rakaposhi- Khungerab Pass. You can find all of this on Google maps. Just Google the term, Gilgit.First of all, thank you all for your replies.
I've seen a lot of videos on YouTube where people used a drone in the places I want to go to as well.
Obviously you don't know if these flights have been illegal or not.
I will be on a trekking trip and far away from the Indian border and the border to Chines lies on huge mountains.
My thinking is the same. If they confiscate the Mini 2, I would obviously not be pleased, but it wouldn't be a huge deal as the trip is already quite expensive. As long as you aren't getting bigger troubles. Also the Mini 2 looks more like a toy, which could be a benefit.
I know that some places should be avoided in Pakistan. But it seems that Pakistan is safer than what most people think. I just heard a podcast about two people travelling all over the country and they did not have any issue and the friendliness of the locals seems to be outstanding compared to what they experienced in other countries.
