The place was worth it.

It may sound repetitive but I would still say "Awesome scenery and lovely photos!"

Ghazab nazare hain aur aap to chhaa gaye!

Let me share story of refueling

We found only one proper filling station in gawadar that was caltex if I remember correctly but they were selling Diesel only. There were other filling stations which were more look like abandoned dispensing machines. We asked a few of them for petrol but no way, all were dealing in Diesel only.
Later we discovered that petrol is being sold in Jerry cans which are brought from Iran and is available at only a few locations in whole city.

Earlier in the morning ustaad je discussed availability of petrol with some local driver and he told that he himself brings from border and also gave a price idea.

Finally we found a place selling Petrol. We asked the price and seller told Rs 70/lit whereas normal rate was 84 I guess at that time.
We thought we should bargain. We offered him Rs 65 but he said price is fix. Than meere-e-karwaan used the well know trick "meenu note vikha, mera mood banay" and it literally worked. We got 35 lit @ Rs 67.5/lit.

In pic u can see ali bhai showing "note", ustaad je helping seller and nawab asim bugti supervising the whole activity.

Ustad jee @mountainier ll u please shed some light on quality of fuel?

Yup it was a unique experience to bargain for fuel......nothing like that has ever happened before...anyhow after fuel stop we moved back to KHI at a fast pace.....Passni came and went and then Ormara...we didnt wanted to refill at 90 per litre from Ormara so we moved ahead nearly half of the tank was still un used.......

then it happened all of a sudden in the Buzi pass area just before kund malir... the car started to behave differently because of abundance of the the Irani fuel....the engine missing started to get very evident and we were in a catch 22 situation....I had to use no brakes during decent as the car refused to climb during while going uphill it was an adventure of the highest degree and anybody who has driven on those curves will know what I am talking about......

the situation got better as we entered the plains......

stopped at the Hingol river at 4 pm for much needed lunch and prayer break.....the shop there was selling the fuel @ 115 / lit which was a total rip off... the team didnt wanted to refuel because of insane price of Irani fuel and I for one didnt wanted to harm my ride with more disgusting Irani fuel so we moved on......

we started crusing and I tried my best to keep the revs down to save fuel as KHI was more than 200 kms away.....we checked out various outlets on the way but no one was selling petrol.....just before maghrib the engine refused to go any further on the Irani fuel and we had to use last bits of CNG left in the tank....

It was dusk and the situation inside the car was tense the road was empty and darkness was coming thick and fast we were laughing like hell in order to prepare for the worst just then we stopped at an outlet just before zero point thanks to Allah these guys were selling clean PAKI petrol @ 100 / Lit....we prayed and thanked Allah for the blessing and poured 15 litres to keep the tank level high and the engine happy....
