pls also tell abt wht things to carry with u in car like water etc things like that. thank u

Depending on how many and who the occupants are (adults only or children as well);

Keep water, coke / juices, sandwiches, biscuits, etc. Things should be easy to eat, while driving. We decided not to stop at any hotel on the way, just to save time, because we had a baby with us as well so that way the drive would have had been very long, so instead took stuff like sandwiches which I had while driving.

VERY IMPORTANT: keep a pair of sunglasses with you, if you will be driving. At times, you are driving in a direction where the sun is shining directly in your eyes, which makes it very difficult to focus on driving.

aap ko police nay tints pay nai roka? aur suna hai ubauro mein police bohot tang karti hai rishwat kay liyay. pls uss ka experience bhi share krein

Get a permit for your tints from the Ministry of Interior. No one will bother you then.

Ubauro I have heard from a lot of people that the police stop to harass. No issues there.

Traffic police in Punjab is generally very strict, so try not to break any traffic lights there!

@rz bilkul aap kay trip ki tarhan hai

pls highway pay safe driving tips bhi share krein. shukirya

Yes, I have also seen @rz 's thread. It is very interesting. Saw it a couple of months ago and thoroughly enjoyed it

Safe driving tips:

• generally on the highway truck drivers follow the rules and drive well, unlike bus/coach drivers who are very rough drivers. Truck's generally follow all rules, they will stay on the left lane and only switch to the fast lane to overtake another truck, and then move quickly back into the slow lane. However, be careful as truck drivers quite often switch to the fast lane without indicating, at times, and any car could be approaching from the rear. So best to either flash your lights or give a quick honk before overtaking, even if you are in your own lane.

• normally, trucks travelling from Karachi to up country drive very slow, since they carry goods from the port to the rest of the country and are loaded. Trucks travelling from up country towards Karachi are often empty, and thus drive faster and switch lanes quickly, so you need to be careful of that.

I'm not in the military. I'm from a military family, but not in the army myself!

You should have stayed in Armour Hut Khanspur instead of Kalabagh. In Kalabagh you remain connected with our current world and happenings but in Khanspur you embrace pure nature. It is lil ahead of Ayubia. I call it a a place of mental overhauling.

A lot of people mentioned Khanuspur. I believe a lot of universities, including PU have their hut's there too. It's meant to be a really beautiful place, also seeing the pic you have attached below. Pure heaven!

Inshahallah next time! Jazakallah for the tip!
