Islamabad
Hi there,
We picked up our Indian visa in Islamabad, and the whole process isn't fun and took about a week. I think they even quoted us two weeks, so it's a pain in the ass from there.
You have to go to the diplomatic compound, which you can only enter via a special bus (we walked there and got turned away, but apparently if you have arranged it with your own embassy they will let you in). You also must have your form completed in advance and typed up. I think you can down load the form somewhere.
Frr me, Islamabad and Tehran would be equally unappealing cities to hang around in, but if I had to choose it would be Islamabad, as it is a lot less hectic (and it also has a big travellers campsite, but we only stayed one night bcause of the heat (42 degrees) and insects). Tehran probably has more to go and look at, but we never really checked it out.
Obviously we never did it at Lahore, so cannot help you with that.
