Pakistan
Hi Andrea Pakistan is dangerous but dooable. We did it 6 weeks ago. check situatin in news papers and cable TV in India before crossing. We crossed the border at Amritsar. Lahore stayed overnight in hotel, Lahore to Sukkur safe, stayed in PTDC hotel Sukkur. Sukkur to Quetta can be dangarous depends on the day, we asked for escort, Hotel will help. Stayed in Bloom Star hotel overnight in Quetta. Quetta can be dangerous once again depends on the day. Quetta to Taftan, the fallowing morning early start with escort for the first 200km or so, then you on your own. we did it in one day, if its not possible for you, stay overnight close to police check point half way or so to Taftan, check points every 100km or so. Try to make Taftan by 3 pm as the border closes at 4pm Try not to stay in Taftan overnight. PS smile and wave a lot if you dont get a wave or a smile back, 9 out of 10 it's a Talib! keep away!!! I have agood reason for saying so, good luck. Kenski
