Heduš accompanied by police escorts arrived in India

Hey, the voice Heduš. Last time we hear from you from Quetta in Pakistan, we’re in a mountain village in India Auli.
In the Queta We have spent two days and I can say that very pleasant days. We changed the oil in Hedušce local Toyota service center, where we spent directly above standard, being cleaned and washed Hedušku. It was very dirty after passing through the dusty deserts of Iran and even the Quetta-Zahedan route is not exactly dálniceJ.

Then we bought rations on their journey. Our new friend from Germany needed to buy a lock on the car, so we took Tuktuk and went to the local bazaar. It was a very powerful experience! On every street corner is a bunker of sandbags
and there the soldiers with a machine gun.

In the bazaar, we spent the evening in part because it is really great, but I must admit that with the coming of darkness I did not feel too good! Everything went well and Tuktuk driving us crazy shipped to our Hedušce, which we had parked in the hotel car park Bloom star hotel where we slept in the car and had all the amenities.

In the morning we woke up low-flying military aircraft, that there are around the airport, so we started and went on. Our road facing south to the fertile plains around the river Indus. Again, with a police escort, we left the beautiful mountains of Pakistan and arrived in town Jacobabad. The police wanted us to sleep at their station, we had no choice, because these places are either the hotel or allow us to sleep in the police parking lot.

The city that was really dirty, full of dust and smogu.V night of gunfire rang out and police were alert all night. In the morning they would not let us back on the road itself and accompanied by escorts, we went on.

Started taking antimalarial drugs, and we are quite wrong, I’m glad that at the end of me behind the wheel rotates Eve. I, I was tired and I’m pretty bad. We sleep in the hotel parking lot in Rahimyar Khan.

The next day I feel better already, and continues towards Lahore.Už the accompanying escort me really annoy them, going slowly through the city and lead us to what the government delegation, claiming that we must not become, because there’s high crime rate. We say it does not seem so, but stuck with it. He goes with us everywhere, into restaurants, the bazaar, night patrol either on us or the hotel accommodated us with him in the barracks.

On the way to Lahore stopping in the city of Multan, where we were staying in police barracks. We feel like monkeys in the circus come to us gradually watch all the barracks and it’s pretty annoying. In the morning we we roll direction of Lahore, where the border into India.

Lahore is Pakistan’s situation a beautiful city, but unfortunately, there’s an awful lot of smog spoils. We are in the parking lot, which is part of the city park and is guarded around the clock. Seconds away from the car park is Mc Donald’s, where they eat and use toilets.

In Lahore we spent two days searching the historic fort and old town.

21st 11th morning, leaving the direction of the Indian border and buys drinking water. At the border we spend about 2 hours with the handling of customs formalities. And this is an interim period in Pakistan. When we come back, I would like to ride a different route.

The path along the river Indus is boring, towns and villages are full of dust and smog – not what the state. Way NW Pakistan from Lahore to Quetta would definitely have been more beautiful and interesting, but according to recent information to tourists for security reasons obstruction. India welcomed us better roads, and finally began to turn green surroundings. That does not mean they have disappeared trash, dirt and smog. Eva has a large stomach problems, so you park at the Roadhouse, which has nonstop service to us and provides toilets and water for free.

In the morning I wake up next to the beautiful green gardens, which proudly shows us the owner of Roadhouse and the adjacent building in which the family held a huge party. The Indian operation is probably the worst we’ve ever experienced. All day we ride, we quickly left the valley, which is again a lot of smog and smoke from burning garbage. The air is removed, it wanted the wind to scare off the smog is something terrible. In the evening we drive through one of the Indian cities of Milan and is nerves with local drivers, who any minute push us out of our lane and try to squeeze our car before. We are constantly blowing here and we lose an overview of why? I refuse to leave and push a car, we lightly brushed on the front frame.

Finally we come to the mountains and foothills of the Himalayas, which is wonderful. All around is a lot of monkeys and the air is finally clear. While trash disappear, but that we have become accustomed. Finally we come to the sacred River Ganges. The sacred river impressed us by its ferocity and magnificent scenery. ‘re Setting the car on its sandy shore, where he spend nights in open.

Early awakening is beautiful all around us, a sun-drenched mountains and just next to us she is a mother of a sacred river Ganges. We continue our journey upriver to one of its two strands. Both springs high in the Himalayas. We spend nights in the beautiful countryside and through the day slowly closer to the source of Alaknanda river from which the connection with the river Ganges River Baghirathi arises.

One of the evening, already dark when we are in the limelight appears leopard. We do not believe their eyes, but it really was a leopard. What a pity that the meeting lasted only a few seconds, because before we jumped on the camera, he was gone. According to our printed guide to the leopards really exist. Spend nights in open time at a gas station because the toilet in the night we fear nature.

Now take it back with humor and camping in nature. Along the way, represents a small memorial for the village of Chamoli, where he tragically died in 1977 two members of the Czechoslovak canoeing expedition Ganga 77 and leave at the memorial of our little state flag, which we have attached all the way to our car. Today we reached the mountain village of Auli, where we parked in front of the hotel and set out on a small trek to the mountains. Our next steps will take the direction of Delhi, Agra, Madras port. This is to say goodbye to you in 14 days and hello again.
