Indo-Pak Border Crossing Open?
I'm going to be spending 4 months in India and Pakistan over the summer. Does anyone know if it is still possible to cross overland between Amritsar and Lahore at Wagha, or do I have to take a >$1000 flight through Thailand? I'm a US citizen if that impacts it at all.
Thanks! |

Ok, I just talked to the Indian Embassy, and they said no.
Is it possible to travel by boat to Karachi? |

Opposite to Indian Embassy I would say yes for Wagah (and no for boat). It was possible to cross last summer (during indo-pak tensions) and nothing much has changed since then. There is no public traffic between Amritsar and Lahore, but it is easy to get there by taxi.
You should come to India with your pakistani visa probably. Surely indian embassy would like to keep you away from Pakistan. Try checking it with Malik from Regal Inn in Lahore at regale_internet@hotmail.com. |
