Pakistan LOI, please help.

Hello I'm Turkish and a couple of days later I'll start my overland trip from Istanbul to Nepal - Kathmandu. I sent emails to Hunza Explorers and Lost Horizon Treks for letter of invitation, but after three days noone replied my mails. Can someone help me about that letter? another tour company or person that can send me a invitation. Thanks a lot!

Hi Man,

I wrote to them in May, noboy replied at all...
In the end I'v egot LOI made by Omar Khan from the "Pakistan biker club", what I highly appreciated, but it didn't help. PAK-embassy refused me three times...

Good luck for you!!!

Alex

Hi there,

A friend of mine is browsing through this subject. He got two quotations: one of 150 USD from hunzaexplorers@gmail.com and another one of 75USD from info@losthorizontreks.com
Quick reply from both.

Good luck.

Hi there, nowadays I had lots of things to do,

I bought it from Lost Horizon Treks and paid 60USD by paypal,
but they didn't replied my emails for about three days,
then I called them by telephone, after the day I called the LOI sent me..

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
