- GUIDE BOOK
I did not find any recent guide book on Pakistan, no more lonely planet etc …

- USEFULL TRAVEL INFORMATION, INCLUDING LETTER OF INVITATION (LOI)
* See these links :
https://www.thebrokebackpacker.com/c...o-go/pakistan/
https://www.thebrokebackpacker.com/p...kpacker-guide/ - I think they have made or they are making a guidebook
https://www.thebrokebackpacker.com/m...our-adventure/
* A quite usefull facebook page : https://www.facebook.com/groups/1211980632227404/ … full of good people willing to help
* This website Pakistan Bikers Club can be very helpful, for the LOI (free of charge) for example
* https://www.facebook.com/motorcyclis...ionofpakistan/ can also help you, especially Ali

- TRAVEL AGENCIES
2 travel agencies specialized with motorbikes :
* https://www.karakorambikers.com/ in Gilgit
* Saiyah - a destination management company in Islamabad
They can arrange tours, find you a motorbike for rent

- GUESTHOUSES IN ISLAMABAD
Some guesthouses I’ve been recommended : it goes from 8-10 to 40-50 euros per night
* Islamabad Hostel - Youth Hostels Association : not only in ISB, good cheap options
* Tourist Guest House & Hostel : https://www.facebook.com/messages/t/touristhostel : good cheap option, clean & well situated. The young owner, Haris, is very nice and helpfull. He can arrange motorbike rent, different tours as he is experienced in the tourism business ... good choice
* CHEZ SOI - 6, Kohsar Road, F-7/3, Islamabad - Tel: 92-51-2651451 (05 lines) - Fax: 92-51-2651456 - E-mail : chezsoi@comsats.net.pk
* Best Regencies Guesthouse in F8-3
* Jacaranda blossoms hotel
and more …

- BIKE RENT
you can rent a small bike, like Suzuki GS 150 (made in Pakistan) or Honda 125 (made in Japan), the most popular bikes in Pakistan, for 10-15 euros per day. Easy to find, through hotels, travel agencies, individuals, …
It s more difficult to find bigger bikes and the rates can get pretty high, minimum 30-40 Euros and higher
Insurance : i don't know how it works when you rent as a forigner :-(

Enjoy Pakistan & have a good trip !
Thanks a lot for this detailed info

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.
