Pakistan Azad Kashmir and the Karakoram
 

Has anyone who does not carry any Pakistani ID motorbiked to AJK and Gilgit Baltistan?

In couple of weeks I will be solo touring in these areas and I am trying to figure out what permits or documents I would require as an American National to ride on a motorbike in AJK and Gilgit Baltistan.


Any advice will be much much appreciated!

Thank you

I did that as a British Citizen but have pakistan ID Card holder its one of the best ride i ever had people are so nice and helpful they have so many Police check post all they ask you to enter your details just in case anything happen so they know where are you in case of help basically you have to enter your ID card number or passport number and name, iam already planning to go next year for 2 months

Hi Rider5,

I'm just catching up after a few months of traveling. I spent a month motorbiking in northern Pakistan and was in AJK in late May. Without Pakistani identification, it's not easy for foreigners to access that area. Since I don't have any Pakistani background or a proper NOC, it was a bit risky to travel without the necessary documentation.

Despite that, I met some fantastic locals, experienced incredible hospitality, and had a one-of-a-kind travel experience that I'll remember for a long time.

You're lucky to be able to visit that part of the world so easily :-)

I've motorbiked across all three sides of Kashmir, and each one offers unparalleled natural beauty, hidden trails, majestic mountains, and diverse cultures and languages.

Thanks for the insight in these posts. Planning to be there July/August next year, and all information is very helpful.
