Makran Coastal Highway

There are some amazing sphinx like natural rock formations off Makran Coastal Highway; a treat to watch along with a pleasurable long drive along the crystal clear coastal line. A rare sight, indeed, in Pakistan. This includes a naturally carved statute “Princess of Hope” as named by Angelina Julie and other mind-boggling formations. We were caught in a sheer surprise on our way to Ormara when watched these formations and kept on debating that whether they are natural or man-made.This is an easy day trip from Karachi and can be clubbed with Malir Khand beach and Mud Volcanoes.Click this for some out-of-the-world views.

The newest trend in enjoying Karachi is a Mad Max style dash to Gawadar from Karachi (800 km+). You only stop to relieve yourself or eat. Takes you approx. 8 hours to reach Gawadar, spend one day in Gawadar, and than dash back to Karachi.A convey of cars comprising of family members, friends, and other acquaintances, take trips to Gawadar from Karachi. This is done on the Makran Coastal Highway, following the coastline of Baluchistan. Objective is to see the beautiful terrain on this highway, get out of Karachi, and experience a the newly constructed road. This is becoming a great get-away destination. The beauty is that there is no traffic or any establishment. This also brings the dangerous element. You will be passing through inhabital, desolate locations, no petrol stations for miles, approx 400 km to be exact, mid-point at Omara. And the petrol/diesel you will get is smuggled from Iran. You will need to make sure the car is in good condition, and you are stocked up for all eventuality. Do not do this trip solo. Make sure atleast 2-3 or more cars go along.VIEWS ARE BREATHTAKING!!!! Especially in Buzzi pass, a stretch between Kund Malir and Ormara.
