Pakistan - No Carnet Required
Crossed the Iran - Pakistan border yesterday, with a Carnet, but I have a friend who works for customs, and they say it IS possible to enter without one.
You will get a (free) escort to the first town, where the car will be held in the customs yard. You are then free to explore the town. This process is repeated until you reach the exiting border.
No idea if a similar situation exists in India.
Not much fun, but if you're determined to get here without a carnet, it is possible. I saw an entry in the customs book which clearly showed someone entering last week without a carnet.
