Pakistan

Places I have visited in Pakistan

• Taftan City

  Iran - Pakistan border crossing. Waited at the levis office half the day before they drove me to Dalbandin

• Dalbandin City

  First night during the Taftan - Quetta police escort. Police officer tried to scam me by asking for gasoline money

• Quetta City

  Met Zachary and two other motorcyclists at the hotel. Was not allowed to leave the hotel without a police escort. They were outside the hotel watching us all the time

• Lahore City

  One of my favorite cities. Lovely place. The entire city is a market

• Wagah City

  Did not cross the border, just went to see the border ceremony where there had been a suicide bomging two weeks earlier

• Islamabad City

  Only spent a few hours, too expensive, and boring to be worth stopping. Went north instead.

• Rawalpindi City

  Only spent a few hours on the way north

• Mansehra City

  Mandatory stopover on the way north and back. Slept in a triple room by the bus station for $3. Really creepy boy working there.

• Naran City

  Only stayed for a day to see the lake

• Saif-ul-Malok Trek

  Hitchhiked halfway before the there was too much snow to drive. Me and the Pakistanis on tour, hiked up where I got altitude sickness (or something).

• Chilas City

  Road from Naran - Chilas was closes, so I had to backtrack and go around. Slept here for a night.

• Gilgit City

  Spent half a day sightseeing while waiting for a bus.

• Karimabad City

  Finally met some other travelers. Gorgeous place

• Passu City

  Hiked to the glacier and the suspension bridge. As far north as I went
