Mixed feelings about tar seal!
Indeed it was kind of nice to be on seal but at the same time not really befitting its off the beaten track adventure status. So we had mixed feelings as really we prefer the rough challenging conditions of the Pamir Highway.

It's way safer that you'd think
Hi Samuel, no one will care if you're on a US passport, Americans are travelling in Pakistan as much as any other nationality. An Indian passport might be different but I doubt anyone in the Northern Regions would care too much. There are a few travel bloggers with good guides to travelling Pakistan, but one of the best resources out there is a Facebook Group "Backpacking Pakistan" members include some of the most experience PAK travellers you could meet and also trusted locals. There you'll be able to ask if anyone has travelled on an Indian passport and how that might be recieved (no doubt getting a visa would be far more difficult). I can guarantee it's a trip you'll never regret

Sadly not
but then I'm not sure how the driver can actually see so maybe it wasn't actually a missed opportunity!
