Overland from UK to India by car
Posted by steadyfriend on August 05, 2009
My friend and I am planning to drive all the way to India in a car. I did this journey some 30 years ago and realise things have changed a lot of late. My route will be from London to Istanbul, thereafter to Iran, then Pakistan and finally India, avoiding Afghanistan altogether. From Iran, I intend to cross over into Pakistan either through Zahedan to Quetta, or else further down south in Iran, following the costal road via Gwadur to Karachi.
Has anyone travelled on this route recently ? I would be grateful for practical hints from those who've passed either of these entry points into Pakistan recently. Please contact me on hbose@rediffmail.com. Many thanks.

Yes nischainh, I am aware of the situation in Pak, therefore my friend and I have delayed our overland journey somewhat. We are waiting for things to settle down considerably before proceeding.
