Hi
Crossed two days ago currently in quetta and Bloomstar hotel all good.
Drove Taftan to Quttea in two days stayed over night at taftan at customs house with excellant reception from shami one of the officials there. Then stopped in delbandin in hotel as you go in onthe right. anly one there have court yard in back for camping 100 rupees per vehicle. The laternative was with your security in the prison yard, no thank you!
bloomstar is 400 per person but they have a lot more paper work to fill out so understand the fee.
You will have escort most of the way on the pakistan side, sometimes they leave you on your own between check points we had two vehicles so they gave us a one guard with ak 47, no english but friendly enough. Lots of check point stops and filling out same books with same details, just doing their job.
nice to do crossing with others but not essential.
Iran side pain in the bum always want to hold on to your passports get photocopies of passport and visa and give them this. Our friends just kept giving them copies of visa saying it s in farcie its easier! and it worked.
Beware road from dalbandin to queta not good so takes some time to cover ground.
all the best Mark
