About the time in Islamabad
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Islamabad day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 04:00–12:00 UTC. Convert your own hours into UTC once and you can tell at a glance whether someone there is likely to be at their desk.
Around 2,363,863 people live in Islamabad, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Clocks in Islamabad stay put all year. There is no summer-time switch to remember, so UTC +5 is what you will get in January and in July alike — useful if you book recurring calls with people in Pakistan.
