Has anyone done this route or the reverse in the last month or so or are you currently doing it? Any current reports as to attitudes toward foreigners would be welcome. Thanks.

I have left Pakistan about a year ago so my news is not vcery up to date. But I have several Pakistani friends and can not believe that this is or would be a problem for you.

They are wonderful and hospitable people, do not worry, you'll love it!

Hi caravancafe,
Its safe as houses.We were there 2 weeks ago(isamabad) and kkh before.Bit cold up north and too much snow for the last 80k to the chinese boarder.The road(track) to shimshal is amazing but only if you dont mind heights.
Happy trails

Hi ;

I have been trying to get in touch with you guys for a week or two now and its interesting to meet you here.

My info is about 6 months old but will do i guess.

lovely area, besides being dangerous for foreigners, its even safer then Quetta-Karachi road.. only a little higher.

Have fun,

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
