Pakistan is a place that has piqued our interest for years. For one reason or another, we've not yet made it to there. Pakistan is one of the destinations under active consideration for us for a 2-3 week trip in late-November and early-December. What draws us to Pakistan are the Taxila, MOenjodaro, Mountains, the deserts, and other natural wonders.
1. For a 2-3 week trip, we would think about allocating 3-4 nights to Islamabad and Lahore. Should we think try to give more time to one or the other?
2. Both Swat and KKH look and sound appealing to us. We would love to enjoy some day hikes - is one better than the other for hikes of 2-6 hours? Given that we would be looking at the last week of November or the first week of December, are the trails typically covered in snow and / or ice at this time or could we expect it to be relatively clear?
3, we would be hiring a driver. If there are any agencies that you've used and know remain in operation, I would love suggestions.
Thank you.

I spent two months traveling all over Pakistan back in '97. I do not recommend going there nowadays.

It is safe now and spending 2 months is a bit too long also
