Rest of the day we spent exploring Main Bazar of Gawadar, done some shopping of local as well as Iranian Products as we have to leave gawadar the next day early, but as usual we woke up late, had breakfast at around 12:00 noon and received an invitation to visit an under construction but near to completion Resort namely "Beach 99" on the way back - This Resort was situated at a distance of approx. 20 - 30 mins from Gawadar, so we spent an hour exploring this awesome & marvelous resort, Main feature or point of attraction of this resort is that it has the best part of Sea & beach is located at its behind. Here are some pix

At around 3:00 pm, we started our journey back to Lahore and there was a sand storm at the Coastal Highway but road was visible so we continued our journey, in between we stayed at Ormara Beach once again, so pictures of beautiful Coastal Highway and Ormara Beach

Thanx dear, you are right its without greenery but when you see this place on google maps you will observe that Hingol National Park at Coastal Highway is lush green, so you must see it with google eyes like we do

tourist (tourist) 2019-03-18 11:31:22 +0500 #47

yes sure

All places which are marked as National park or conservation land is shown as green on google maps. Hingol national park is not green in actual though.

Yes you are right @Aqeel1982, i also clarified this to @tourist, but instead of finding greenery, coastal highway have its own beauty till Gawadar - i said earlier this tour is for those who love driving or travelling - in one word its "Adventurous"

yes brother, I saw it with google earth even, there is no natural greenery, but you are right it has its own beauty.

your point is very much valid @tintin1, but when you are with other majority of friends who don't like to spend time in the way or are target oriented then you alone couldn't enjoy the serenity but to capture it in your camera memory for future imaginations
However, i also tried it ur way though

qasim_shah888 (Qasim Shah) 2019-03-26 13:17:46 +0500 #54

Enjoying like u described seems a good idea, but its our first travelling at coastal highway till Gawadar and friends who traveled before us guided us not to travel after Evening / Night till Gawadar as its risky, so we have to keep this point in mind, however, after our this journey i can say that its completely safe to travel at coastal highway anytime provided that your vehicle is dependable and you have plenty of food along - No local Dhabas / Hotels / Pakistani Petrol Pumps available from Hub till Gawadar only Irani Petrol n Balochi Brothers.

Nice trip brother, can you recommend some good family resorts / hotel for night stay in Gawder, beach 99 that you mentioned is operational. Thanx in advance

qasim_shah888 (Qasim Shah) 2019-03-27 13:21:11 +0500 #56

@maazasim - Beach 99 resort is almost completed and during our visit we observed 2 or 3 families staying there - its a lush resort with all required facilities and most scenic beach at its back side, only draw back is that it is located at 20 minutes drive from Gawadar City at an un-populated area, 2nd option is Sea View Hotel Gawadar (where we stayed), this hotel is located in heart of the city at main boulevard with a Shinwari Hotel at back side, but take their Executive Room only (for family) which are at 2nd floor (top floor) - with a view of Ocean from every window
