I came through from Iran with a bunch of other guys last October. We hoped to get to Multan from Quetta. We thought it would take a day to Quetta and another day to Multan.

But we were wrong ... see the happened

I have been made aware that foreigners now require a No Objection Certificate (NOC) before crossing Balochistan. My visa in Pakistan expires on 6th October, 2011 and Inshallah expected to arrive in Quetta on 3rd October, 2011.

As for hotels -

For your Visa - just book it through Lonely Planet website. I think I had to pay a $5 deposit to make a booking and included it in application. I never actually stayed there.

Along the road -
The police escort will take you to the places to stay! I didnt like Bloomstar guy and requested another hotel (There is a cheaper one down the main road behind the theatre)

Another hint - Do not pay the escorts! On both sides!!
