Islamabad to Karachi Road Trip?

[neoq]

@spectra
but what abt CNG ...is it available on the Jhang route...u guys did the trip on petrol right?
And how "lousy" is the road ...is it broken in different places or is it a single road with two way traffic or something else?

@ahmedbila
Thanks dude...surely will shoot all I can on my way to Khi and will post em soon inshaAllah.

Cng available throughout. Road is single and broken but i dont think 25kms matter in 1700 km journey considering average road conditions of pakistan. Cng is in any way a non issue. It is available throughout.

Hello all. How come you guys arent mentioning the single most crucial unknown on this journey? I am referring to the main danger while out on the road, the Sindh Police. Pls pls tell our young traveller friend about the dangers these organised thugs pose. I have already narrated my experiences on another thread, and its was NOT pleasant.
Beware, read the article, Spectra perhaps you can trace it pls?
I would rather take my chances with a genuine Daku any day; but these parasites in uniform are a clear and ever present danger to travellers.

@Spectra
Thanks man but are you sure its 25 km from Jhang to Kabir wala cus if you measure the road distance on wikimapia it amounts to 120km. Pls. confirm?

I was tracking thru wikimapia and this is the route that appeared if i go thru FSB-Jhang:

Jhang-Shorkot-Kabirwala-Quadirpur-Multan-BHW-Ahmedpur East-Khanpur-RYK

The confusion is at AhmedpurEast where the highway divides one going towards "Uch" and the other towards "Khanpur". I think the Khanpur one is correct but for some reason the color of the road is green which means its not the N5 so I am confused. Which road/route u took Spectra after Bahawalpur?

Thanks a lot.

Distance is around 100 but bad patch is only 20-25. From kabirwala you merge with N5 and go towards multan. I cant see map from mobile but khanpur is on the way to rahim yar khan

Any Car/vehicle is safe. Total distance is approx 1550km Karachi to Pindi. Calculate yourself the cng expense as per your milage/kg etc.

A distance chart is as given.

[ranasherdil]

Yes Jhang Kabirwala will be somewhat 120 Km.

Also you can take a short cut.

Leave motorway at Pindi Bhattian instead going Faisalabad.

From Pindi Bhatyan, go to Chiniot, Chiniot to Jhang.

Pindi Bhatyan to Chiniot = 37
Chiniot to Jhang = 84 km
Pindi Bhatyan (M2) to Jhang = 121 Km

2nd option
Pindi Bhatyan to Faisalabad = 70
Faisalabad to Jhang = 73

Total = 143

But don't try, Pindi Bhatyan-Chiniot route after sunset.

Yes go Khanpur, instead Uch Sharif.
