Well, I've just got back from riding the KKH, full loop,over the Shandur pass to Chitral and back down through Dir to Peshawar on a Bullet 2 up. They were still taking cars across Sost lake when we got there end of May, they did ask for NOC entering Kohistan, but let us through without one, escorted through Besham to chilas, and given police guard for our stay in Chitral and down to the Lowrie tunnel, got stopped at a big army checkpoint between Dir and Peshawar and asked for NOC, but again we were eventually allowed through without one, however, I don't think we would have been allowed the other way ( Peshawar-Chitral ) as that is supposed to be the dodgy bit, I think they just decided that as we had come that far they might as well let us continue. What a beautiful trip !
