Where on the horizon?

Sunrise and sunset compass bearings for Lahore — face these degrees, not “due east” or “due west.”

N E S W
Sunrise Sunset
Sunrise azimuth 78° ENE Face ENE at dawn

Azimuth is degrees clockwise from true north (0°). Today the disk clears the horizon at 78° ENE and drops at 281° WNW. Use that heading to pick a rail, pier, or hill that actually sees the Sun — then jump to where to stand.

Solar facts

  • 1Badshahi Mosque minarets frame golden hour sunsets over Greater Iqbal Park.
  • 2Lahore daylight reaches 14 hours and 8 minutes on the June solstice.
  • 3Greater Iqbal Park and Gulberg provide popular evening golden hour parks.

Daylight Saving Time

Lahore stays on Asia/Karachi year-round with no daylight-saving jump. Sunrise and sunset drift only because of Earth’s orbit, not because the clock shifts.

East–west spread

Across Pakistan on this site, the Sun rises first in Sialkot (05:35 AM, 74.5229°) and last in Quetta (06:07 AM, 66.975°). That east–west spread is about 32m. Both cities share the same clock, so this gap shows up directly on the wall clock. Lahore sits at 74.3587°.

Lahore, the cultural heart of Pakistan, features Mughal architecture such as the Badshahi Mosque and Lahore Fort bathed in warm golden twilight.
