Pakistan India border crossing
 

I crossed the Pakistan ? India border in the early April and with no problems. In general Pakistan seems back to normal and I didn?t feel any particular tension at all. The border is only open to foreigners and there are not that many of them at the moment, so be aware with the customs officers they are hungry. When asked about cash money tell them that you are only carrying travel checks and credit cards, otherwise they are going to ask you money to pass.

Here's an update on the Pakistan-India border crossing : we crossed yesterday, June 23rd without the slightest problem.
As there's simply no-one crossing, we had all the custom officers to ourselves. Tea on the Pakistani side, aircoolers on the Indian side.
And the very first annoying guy on any border : an assistent of the officer checking the Carnets on the Paki side. He plainly asked for money "so things would go faster". We talked our way around the issue. We never ever handed over money for crossing borders and did not intend to change this basic idea now.
Indian side was a little 'cooler' then the Paki side, but without the slightest problem. We prepared for solid luggage searching, but they just checked the framenumber and did not even glance at the luggage.

So, all open and well for the time being :-)
