In September 2007, we had featured a video of the Jeep Safari by 4×4 Off-Roaders Club into Hingol National Park and Mud Volcanoes of Balochistan. Today we are bringing another spectacular video from the same club into the Thar desert of Pakistan. Take a Look.

KO i take your point and i think that your point of view is valid. But then the question should be asked from Owais as to what makes this video ’spectacular’ ‘into the thar desert’?
Wow! Brilliant video, I am very much impressed to see it, I wonder when will I start going with you people (lets wait, I earn a little) :D
Another amazing video……….. u guys should submit this to Doscovery Channel……… maybe they can send a camera crew to you when u guys go on your next trip!!
Hey KO, hope I didn’t offend you too much.. I actually like it, and to tell you the truth I really loved the Hingol National Park video and I think it was a much more relaxed affair and more like what you have described.
I think it was probably because the Thar thing just started on the wrong foot.. I mean starting with that tree on the road will throw any expedition off kilter from the git-go but then it was like one thing right after another… I kept repeatedly thinking what exactly is going to happen next… like who’s going to slide off the road or something :) hahaha
In any case it still is very informative. I have always wondered about thar and how it is.. I have a Hindu friend who is from that area and I guess subconsciously I was thinking the movie was going to hit some of the old temples etc.. but it was different from my expectation.. and that is just as well… can’t make everyone happy can you? ;-)
Good job btw! We need more of these vids and you do a great job of commenting! (not to mention technical direction of getting them across dangerous 60 degree drops ) .. So keep up the good work!
I must say I really liked all the characters in the Hingol video, especially “Pappu” Sahib … I remember exploring Hindu Kush and Balochistan in a cantankerous Willis jeep kinda like that.. I remember having to come back out to “civilization” on horseback because the dang thing just wouldn’t budge anymore. For me the best part was staying overnight with the locals along the way (having contacts helps too) and eating the local food (Nothing like authentic sijji oi hoi!)
Thanks for all the effort in bringing us thes wonderful visions of Pakistan!
