besal Says: Gwadar is famous for 3-things: fishing village, 5-star hotel on the hammerhead, and the famous Gwadar port, which was opened in 2007 by General President Chief Executive Pervez Musharraf. .Gwadar port was “finally” built by the assistance of China. It is situated on a 3 very...
besal Says: Hammerhead is a projection protruding out on the ocean, and looks like front of a hammerhead shark. This rocky mass was created by ancient mud volcanoes which covered this region. Majority of the mountains carved on the coastal highways are results of mud volcanoes. The...
besal Says: Ormara is approx 240 km from Karachi. This city is also at a mid-point between Karachi and Gwadar. The city belongs to Pakistan Navy as several of their vessels, are stationed here. A large hammerhead formation protects Ormara from the sea. It is also a small fishing...
besal Says: The landscape on the MCH is really spaced-out. The dry-diverse landscape, built by ages of erosion and eruptions, have made this drive on the coastal highway once (or twice) in a life time trip. Some of the sceneries, especially in driving through the Buzzi pass is...
besal Says: From a distance it looked like the replica of the Sphinx in Egypt. A naturally carved object on top of a range, the formation resembles the famous man-made structure.This is situated well before Princess of Hope. I mistakenly thought this was Princess of Hope. The formation...
besal Says: Buzzi pass is the main reason why I am going to recommend this journey – the most spectacular scenery one can imagine. Starting from Kund Malir where the MCH starts to climb and going all the way till you reach Ormara (approx. 100 km from Kund Malir), one is treated to an...
besal Says: Right after you pass Hingol River bridge, the scenery suddenly changes. On your right are mountains, and on your left a desert. Beyond the desert is the ocean. If you have a 4x4, you can enjoy a short desert safari sunning up and down the sand dunes.
besal Says: Hinglaj is an important Hindu community’s pilgrimage site. Situated almost 250 km from Karachi on the Makran Coastal Highway, once can easily traverse this journey in approx 3-4 hours. From the coastal highway at Aghore, a dirt track leads towards Nani Mandir, a Hindu temple...
Mud Volcano also called Baba Chandrakup
besal Says: The geographical terrain of Hingol National Park was created millions of years ago by various mud volcanoes which existed in this area. Very few (some say 18) active volcanoes are left, and one of them is called Baba Chandrakup (apprx 200-300 feet high). It is also claimed...

Last week, I went by bus to Gwadar, Baluchistan, Pakistan. It is 995 km away and the bus took about 12 hours.
The road, Mekran Coastal Highway is an asphalt road with two lanes. The traffic was thin and the bus could easily gain a speed of 110 km per hour. Some time was consumed in police-checks and stoppages for lunch and prayers.
I stayed at a hotel right on the beach, Gwadar Tourist Motel, Governor Rest House Road, Gwadar Telephone Nos 92-086-4210899, 0300-2857883, http://www.gwadartouristmotel.com/
I paid Rs.1,200 (US$ 15) per night. The breakfast and meals were Rs.80 (one dollar) and about Rs.160 (two dollars) respectively. For moving within the city, motor rickshaws were available for Rupees 40 to 50 per trip (around half dollar to 0.625).
Worth seeing places were a long beach with light green water, Hotel Pearl Continental at a hilltop, Ports and markets brimming with cheap Iranian & Chinese goods.
After stay for two days, I returned by a van leaving Gwadar at 9 am (the earliest public transport). I got down at Aghor and had a side trip of Hinglaj, about 15 km away in about five hours.
I have since uploaded my travel as http://hubpages.com/hub/Hinglaj-Yatra
At about 9pm I boarded a van and reached Karachi around midnight.
One can go by air to Gwadar (return fare Rs.11,200 or US$132) or by bus (fare ranging from Rs.700 (ordinary bus) to Rs.1,200(Luxury Bus, only 28 seats, fully air-conditioned and fast). All buses leave from Inter-City Bus Terminal, Yusuf Goth, Baldia Town, Karachi (9221-5413837-8, 0322-2319855, 0313-2266992). Departure time from the terminal is 8 pm. The return would also be at the same time. This means one would not be able to see the terrain especially of Hingol National Park http://www.hingol.com/
(For a day trip, one can have seat on a van for Rs.1,000 per head leaving at 9 am from various well-known places Kalari, Lee Market or Chakiwara of Karachi. )

One can rent the various boats/trawlers and head out to the sea to catch fish. For those who do not have that much time can arrange jet skies and speed boats. You will have to arrange this at Pearl Continental, however the cost is steep. So better have more people who can share.
And if you are staying at PC, at night you can play cricket in their parking lot.
