East to Harnai

Pakistan is a tribal nation and a history full of internal conflict. Certainly since 2001, the mountain region of the Pakistani/Afganistan border has become the focus of the global fight against the Taliban. This region, maybe more than any other needs careful management.

Every guide book tells me to avoid this region.

For this reason alone I have plotted a route more east of Quetta than Google maps offers me. I first expected the roads to be worse than the Highway I came in on, but actually, and probably because of less overall traffic, I find that the Harnai road is in better shape. I have been using Tripmondo for some of my information on this route. I expected the three and a half hour drive to take much more than that, but decided to carry on through to Loralai along the Sinjawi road.

It might be a little cold out, but the sun is shining.

It's green on the mountains. (and a bit wet.)
