Trip de RaniKot 11-03-2017

[ahmedamir]

Assalamoalaikum folks:
One of my friend acquired a 4x4 lately, so, we were getting excited to have a trip. It's been almost an year since we had a road trip together. The idea was to have some 4x4 fun too along the way I had RaniKot in my mind for quite some time, so, we all eventually agreed to visit the fort. We were four friends. We had 02 cameras but none with the skills to take some presentable photo, so, you guys gotta bear with us here
Here is our detailed itinerary:

Nice keep going bro put some more clicks. We are at Jamshoro road

[ahmedamir]

Near about San, which is the nearest settlement to Ranikot, if I am not wrong

Shortly after the toll plaza, we saw this accidental coach. Actually saw couple of them few KMs apart. We found out on our way back that most likely the coach drivers would have been wrong as they drive very very rough on this road. At one point, on our way back one coach driver, coming from front overtaking another vehicle, almost got head-on with us. I was thinking that he will get back into his lane but he never did. When few feet apart I had to take the car off the road to the dirt track. Allah saved us Alhamdulillah but that was very very reckless from the coach driver. He was driving like we never exist. It's the closest call we had on the way. Though, they usually overtake very recklessly. To add to the damage, they have installed big-arse projection lights on the coach's front to blind the oncoming traffic :@

Please don't mind the car. It's being restored

[asifcae]

is it the one at mohan gate???? i have been all over that place but i didnt know the exact name

[ahmedamir]

Not sure about the mohan gate. It's around 1 hour trek from Merikot fort. Though, 4x4s can go for around half of the distance after that trekking is the only option. There are many onion fields along the way.
