Where to stay in Bahria Town
The practical side of choosing where to sleep.
Bahria Town sits apart from the older core of Lahore, so its beds skew toward the residential rather than the touristic. Rooms are sparse here. Most guests who choose this district book inside the planned blocks and gated sectors of the development itself, then drive back toward central Lahore when the older sights of the city call, much as they would from the neighbouring schemes of Lda City.
What you get is a quiet, master-planned base on the city's fringe, well away from the crowds that fill the Walled City of Lahore.

About Bahria Town
What are the main landmarks in Bahria Town?
Bahria Town is itself the landmark on this edge of Lahore. Rather than an old quarter grown over centuries, the district is a single privately developed scheme, owned and managed by the real-estate company whose name it carries, and laid out as gated sectors, wide avenues and planned amenities on ground that once lay beyond the built city. The plan is the draw.
Against the older fabric of Gulberg and the Walled City of Lahore, its ordered blocks give visitors a marker they use to place Bahria Town on the map of greater Lahore.
What is the history of Bahria Town?
Bahria Town grew not from a village but from a plan. The district takes its name and its form from the privately owned real-estate developer that owns, builds and manages properties across Pakistan, and it was raised as a gated residential scheme on land beyond the older wards of Lahore rather than absorbed from an existing settlement. The developer drew the streets.
Where farmland once ran past the edge of the city, planned sectors now spread outward, giving Lahore a district that reads more like a designed suburb than an inherited quarter.
Where is Bahria Town?
Bahria Town spreads across the outer fringe of Lahore, a broad belt of master-planned sectors laid out on former farmland where the built city gives way to open ground beyond Gulberg, Valancia and the older wards.
