Pakistan - how safe is Wagah border (Lahore)?
Hi to everybody,
I posted this thread also in the Route Planning Forum but maybe it suits more in here?
Due to the suicide attacks in november 2014 I am wondering how safe the border crossing from Pakistan to India is and how safe the KKH in the northern regions is, coming from the Khunjerab Pass down to Islamabad and Lahore.
As I am planning a trip from Germany to Southeast Asia (Start in April 2015), the KKH was always our favorite and first option instead of crossing China. But due to the bombings at the border and also in Peshawar China becomes more interesting, still very expensive though. We're thinking of working out both options, get the pakistani visa also, while preparing for China. Might be good, when tibetan borders will be closed for some reasons and we can change the route.
Did someone recently this trip from Kashgar to Lahore respectively crossed the Wagah border after the bombings? How safe did you felt? Have you done it in a convoy or alone?
Thanks a lot for more infos!!!
