The Huts of Hawksbay beach.

A Bar BQ restaurant built at the beach.

From Hawksbay road there is a road turning in the opposite direction of the sea. This road leads to Hub power plant and Mubarak village.
The newly built road leads you towards hills.

Hills started.

Surroundings of the road.

Hub power plant at some distance. Balochistan starts from here.

Typical landscape of Balochistan.

Following the bus of IBA to the hill selected for the job.

Sprite (Sprite) 2013-05-17 07:56:38 +0500 #28

Now some off roading. These were the hills selected.

You are going for your first jump with a parachute. People get nervous. And what will you feel when the 1st one to welcome you is an army ambulance.

Following the convoy.

Finally, this was the venue.

Relieved to see some sand dunes around. (Legs will get speared ).

A group of IBA students were there to participate in this 1st event.
Students start pouring out.

Surroundings.

At first it will be a ground training and then move upward for jump.

@asifcae.
nice adventure.......

Thanks Asif bhai.

Thanks for liking Farooq bhai !
Indeed it was a life time experience but too dangerous too.
I don't recommend anyone to fly in Karachi in this season. (Very strong winds).
But this is the adventure.

As this road leads to Hub power plant and is in commercial use nowadays so there's no security issue now. You will also find a couple of police and army check posts on this road. Local people are friendly and simple.
Its a 27km. road stretch from Hawksbay to Mubarak village. Road is surprisingly in "Pappu" condition.
Tip is that you have to take meals and drinking water along with you. You won't find anything here. Only cold drinks will be available there. Nor even huts or any other facility is there. Cuz its only a local fishermen village.
You can also hire a boat to go Charna island and surrounding but 1st check the quality and rates. (Negotiation is must).

Enjoy your trip.
