Hi Mara

(Sorry allilr, I don't have information on the security situation in Balochistan at the moment, and we came from China to Pakistan)

1. Is possible to buy SIM card with internet for mobile in Iran and Pakistan? If yes, where is sell it? What do i need for this?

We bought a SIM card in Iran with the company IranCell (They have a yellow-blue logo). We needed a passport and they took one or two finger prints. Including the SIM card, some 30 minutes for calling and 5GB of data, we paid something like the equivalent of USD 12.50. It paid off to get a SIM card in Iran because the internet connection was usually more reliable and faster than the WiFi we found in guest houses, let alone wild camping ;-)

We never got a SIM card in Pakistan, but we were told that is is a bit more difficult. With the help of a trustworty local you should be able to get one. Ask around.

2. Where i can change USD to local money? I mean for both Iran and Pakistan...

In Iran, the best places are money exchange offices because they have the best rates. If you don't know where to go because it's all written in Farsi, just ask a local shop keeper in a busy part of town. I'm not sure whether we needed identification, but you'll have that on you anyway. We did manage to exchange money at an actual bank (Bank Melli) but the rate was about 5 to 10 percent worse than the rate we got at the exchange offices. Bring enough cash for Iran. There is no other way to get it once you're in.

In Pakistan we got our money mostly from ATMs. Only credit cards were accepted (no debit cards, but this may differ for your situation). The problem was that not all ATMs accept your credit card either. Sometimes it would wait for minutes before spitting our card out again (and no money). I remember that we were most successful at the HBL/Habib bank (dark green logo this time).

3. What situation with petrol in Iran and Pakistan? Can i fuel everywhere?

We found good fuel on every transit route that we rode in Iran and Pakistan. We never had to worry about the distance between petrol stations (we had a 500km range but could have done with less). The octane ratings were not advertised in Iran, but the bikes ran well. In Pakistan we mostly got 93 octane petrol. Never a problem with that either.

Perhaps someone can elaborate on the petrol situation in more remote places like the Skardu Valley or Balochistan in Pakistan or the less populated areas in central Iran?

Good luck, and enjoy! We had a great time in Iran and in Pakistan!

Cheers,
Mark
