bike rental pakistan - july august 2018
hello everyone,
i used to be quite active here before when i was an administrator but i left it during a few years, sorry ... happy to see again this big world bikers community !
I was in pakistan in 2003, i spent like 9 months, touring a bit everywhere on my motorbike (during my world tour before iran, after india) AND I LOVED IT !!! I also worked there, beacuse i had an accident on the KKH and had to stay quiet for my broken collar bone to fix again in Islamabad.
Unfortunately, I have no more connection in Pakistan.
I plan to go to Pakistan this summer for one month (july, august) alone or with one friend. We are French, based in Paris. We are experienced bikers in France and abroad.
We want to rent small cheap reliable bikes, like Japanese 125 cc or more to go to KKH, Gilgit, Skardu, in the mountains, then go back. We drive slowly to enjoy the beauty of the country. we just need bike rental, no guide or organization.
I was at the Pakistan embassy in Paris this morning, no problem for tourist visa apparently. They require a kind of tourist official invitiation paper from a travel agency or hotel (called LOI i think).
QUESTIONS : i would greatly appreciate your help (ideas, recommandations, contacts, ...) :
1- For bike rental , small bikes : japanese 125 cc or more
2- Official invitation paper (LOI) : required for the visa
3- Guesthouse in Islamabad on arrival.
i am on a budget and looking for cheap options if possible :-)
Thanx, happy travels to everyone
NB : i read the posts here before and thanx for those who already shared information, like bike rental (karakorambikers, saiyah riders)
