Will the December 31, 2028 lunar eclipse be visible in Pakistan?

Yes. The total lunar eclipse reaches maximum at 9:53 p.m. Pakistan Standard Time, with the Moon well above the horizon in Karachi, Islamabad, and Lahore. Weather, buildings, and local terrain can still affect the view.

What you’ll see.

During totality, the entire Moon enters Earth’s umbra. Sunlight filtered through Earth’s atmosphere can color it copper, orange, or deep red.

An eclipse is only observable when the Moon is above your local horizon. The exact date may differ by one day from UTC depending on your time zone.
