Entertainment in Punjab

  1. A

    Lahore Polo Club

    Flanked by well-tended green grounds, this calm and genteel club (which is almost 120 years old) is a world away from the traffic snarls of downtown Lahore. Most matches seem to be free of charge for tourists, making this an economical way of hobnobbing with the local elite either during a match or over a pot of tea at the country-clubesque polo lounge, open for both lunch and dinner. The polo season runs from around late October to late April - telephone for match details.

Tickets for a drama performance usually cost between Rs120 and Rs300. The Centre also has short courses (around three months; advance bookings essential) in painting, tabla (drums), sitar, harmonium, guitar, violin and singing. Telephone for fee details.
