| Travelling by Road to Moutains: Jeeps to get around in the mountains | | |
| | ||
 |  on July 21, 2003 |
The Jeeps were the real workhorses when the roads got tough. In my travels in the Northern Areas, Jeeps and trucks were the only vehicles that seemed to cope with the rough roads. Most Jeeps will officially seat about 5 people, but there is quite a bit of latitude with numbers! In all the towns in Baltistan (Skardu, Khapalu, Kande etc...) there was no problem finding a jeep and driver and there are some fantastic trips to do such as visits to the Deosai Plains or the stunning mountains. The jeeps I travelled with were hired by our trekking company so I can't actually tell you the process but from looking at the number of jeeps hanging around the motels it didn't look to hard to organise! Some of them were pretty cute - I travelled on a beaut red one that must have been an old Russian relic that was driven South but it still roared along so it did the job quite nicely. The pic is of the stunning Northern Pakistan views that you get framed by the jeep windows... |

| Driving in Pakistan: Travelling within Pakistan | | |

 |  on December 21, 2006 |
1] Selfdriving by tourist NOT recommended . (a) Traffic on the left side of road. (b) Traffic rules are not strictly followed.(c) It would be difficult to find the destination bydriving tourist. 2]There are four excellent airlines PIA,Aeroasia,Airblue and Shaheen.Check them. 3] Excellent train service.Sometimes congested but enjoyable with fellow passengers. 4]Road transport widespread but not so organised. 5]Try a three wheeler "Auto-Rickshaw" within a city. Noisy ,bumpy but recommneded as joy ride for one or two trips. 6]Should negotiate taxi fares beforehand by bargaining. There are vintage taxis as well as very good new radio cabs. 7] There is a fast vanishing breed of horse carts.Good for leiserly exploring a city. |

Jeeps are the best choice if you have to go to the mountain areas with no metallic roads. The local drivers are very expert and you can enjoy a life time journey. |

Pakistan has an extensive network of roads and highways, linking every big and small town. There are several highways like Grand Trunk Road between Lahore and Peshawar, Super Highway and National Highway linking Karachi with interior of Sindh and Punjab, Indus Highway linking Peshawar with the Southern Punjab, RCD Highway linking Karachi with Quetta and on to Taftan (Pak-Iran border) and the Karakoram Highway joining Islamabad with Kashgar (China) through Abbottabad, Gilgit Hunza and Khunjrab Pass. A land mark has been achieved with the completion of Lahore-Islamabad motorway (M2) and Faisalabad-Pindi Bhatian Motorway (M3), which have opened some of the remote areas of Pakistan for visitors. Another project of Motorway i.e. Islamabad-Peshawar (M1) will be completed in near future. You will find all types of public transport in Pakistan. Taxis, auto rickshaws, vans, tongas (horse & carriage) and mini-buses are used for traveling within the city/town/village limits, whereas air-conditioned, non air-conditioned and deluxe type of buses, vans and coaches regularly ply between major cities and tourists destinations. |

Recognizing the need for high quality road net work in the country, the Prime Minister of Pakistan inaugurated Pakistan Motorway Project covering the whole of country: from Peshawar to Karachi and Karachi to Gawadar and Karachi to Quetta and Quetta to Iran including covering area from Lahore to Islamabad as well. M2 Lahore-Islamabad motorway was the first project to be accomplished & now fully operative. It is very scenic experience travelling on this Motorway. You can stop at "kalarkahar" the place got more famous since the project has completed. There is a beautiful lake there. The place is very famous for media functions as well... |
