This could be anywhere in the world, but where in Pakistan is this picture from?
The picture itself is by one of my favorite photographers, but let me not tell you now who that is (since that may give a clue to the answer). I will write more about him when we reveal the answer.
The quiz here is to let us know where is this place. While the exact location is pretty desolate, if you can guess (or know for sure) the two major towns between which this place is located, you’ll get full marks :-)
Dear Readers,
While All Things Pakistan has remained alive and online, it has been dormant since June 11, 2011 - when, on the blog's 5th anniversary, we decided that it was time to move on. We have been heartened by your messages and the fact that a steady traffic has continued to enjoy the archived content on ATP. While the blog itself will remain dormant, we are now beginning to add occasional (but infrequent) new material by the original authors of the blog, mostly to archive what they may now publish elsewhere. We will also be updating older posts to make sure that new readers who stumble onto this site still find it useful.
We hope you will continue to find ATP a useful venue to reflect upon and express your Pakistaniat. - Editors
It seems Khujrab Pass (Pak China Border)
@ Momin Ansari:
Asia’s highest? The Qingzang railway (Tibet) was inaugurated few years ago and Tanggula Pass, at 5,072 m above sea level, is the world’s highest rail track. As it is all in Asia, the track in Pakistan is no longer the highest in Asia.
Its so beautiful.A perfect setting for a novel.
It must be somewhere in Baluchistan.
Long live Pakistan
Some comments from the ATP Facebook Page:
– “i think this is the trac of peshawar landikotal railway line”
– “Its beautiful mashAllah ..”
– “landikotal has only one pat….this is some where Quetta”
– “balochistan i guess”
– “balochistan”
– “May be Landi Kotal”
– “koyataa”
– “by the looks of the tracks it looks some part of baluchistan, as the tracks in landi kotal side are all torn out by the blasts nowadays or/and stolen by the herion addicts.”
I think in Balochistan.
