While planning my Makran Coastal Highway trips, I could not find much information about exact distances between cities and other attractions along the highway, so I thought to mark them myself during my trips in August and September (2010), and here it goes:
(All distances are calculated from Hub Toll, for the sake of uniformity, which is 40-50 km from Karachi depending on the route and point of departure)
km Milestone
km Milestone
000 Hub Toll
002 RCD CNG (adjacent to PSO pump) - Last chance
006 Hub Check Post (Motor Registration Certificate + CNIC)
035 Gadani Check Post (Motor Registration Certificate)
035 Gadani Check Post (Motor Registration Certificate)
053 Petrol Pump at Windar (last chance for Pakistani petrol)
088 Makran Coastal Highway Starts
099 Lasbella Levies Check Post (Motor Registration Certificate + License)
164 Bad Patch (bridge under construction - stay on the road)
190 Tyre Shop (second one after MCH zero point)
216 Nani Mandir (Hinglaj) Sign - further 15 km off-highway
216 Hingol River Bridge
216 Roadside Hotel - reasonable for tea and meals
225 Kund Malir
243 Princess of Hope
256 Buzi Pass area
335 Ormara Chowk
374 Road Bump - just before a bridge
502 Pasni Junction
513 PNS Makran cut
610 Surbandar cut
618 Gwadar Junction
667 Iran Border/Jiwani Junction - Jiwani is 32 km from this point
698 Pak Iran Border
This is with due credits to my companions who helped me in recording these milestones. Numbers are mostly curtailed down (instead of rounding them off) and are subject to recording and editing errors.
Feedback and queries are welcome.
I am interested to go for hajj by road from Makran Coastal Highway, Pakistan thorough tourism in Iran , UAE and Behrain. Any one who is interested can join me or let me know. Plz also apprise us about the security situation in Pak-Iran border now. Thanks
