Yeah I managed to get my letter of approval in Tehran but I would check up on whether or not your country is handing them out there, if I remember correctly I bumped into a woman from Belguim in Yazd who said that her embassy in Tehran wasn't willing to give her a letter of introduction and I also know that the French and Finnish embassies are no longer handing them out so probably best to check before hand or even get a six month visa from Belgium if at all possible. I have also met people that have travelled to Istanbul, then flown home to apply for their visas in their home countries as it made it easier for them!!
Didn't make it to the KKH as it was a bit cold for us and we were told that it was impassible in places so not really sure of the situation there. As an aside, we were not the only people that were escorted through the majority of Pakistan, another motorcyclist traveller that went through that way a few weeks before us was also escorted all the way to Lahore.
Hope thats has helped you a little bit, finally I have been able to actually put something up on the hubb other than a question!! :-D
