Hi Fearless,
March/April is excellent weather wise for Pakistan but the high passes open around end of May or June.
Trucks routinely get transported across the lake on boats and government managed big crafts. Those are expensive and ply at fixed times. If you want I can get you contact numbers of the locals and you can get latest info.
Camping site in Islamabad is a very famous landmark situated near the main road entering Islamabad from Lahore. Any policeman or taxi driver will guide you. I don't have but can get the coordinates if you need.
Wagah is the only road border crossing between India and Pakistan for all practical purposes. There are 3 in Kashmir region which is NW but only locals or UN is using them.
Khyber pass is fabulous but risky due to its proximity with Afghanistan and war. Even Ambassadors were kidnapped so please stay away from this area.
Maybe one day the stupid and cruel Afghan wars that started in the 70s will finish and we will be able to visit this beautiful country as I did in 1977.
Cheers
