Hajj & Umrah Cost Calculator Pakistan
Estimate the total cost of Hajj or Umrah from Pakistan. Enter your package type (government or private), duration, and number of travellers to see the total expense in PKR.
Introduction
Hajj and Umrah are among the most significant spiritual journeys for Muslims in Pakistan. However, rising inflation and currency depreciation have made these pilgrimages increasingly expensive. In 2026, the government Hajj package costs between PKR 1,150,000 and 1,200,000 per person, while private packages range from PKR 2.0 million to 3.0 million [citation:5]. For Umrah, airline fares during Ramadan surged to PKR 180,000–200,000 for economy class [citation:6].
