Crossing Broghil pass

[StephParis]

I've been on the river many times on the Tajik and I'm surprised by how quickly the border guards appear out of nowhere in the middle of nowhere.

I confirm : you think you're alone and suddenly border guards show up. In this part of the world don't do such stupid things as crossing borders illegally.

Hey!
I have crossed the Broghil in November last year. Well, I had no other option, I lied to the border rangers and they let me go. I travelled 1 entire month in Pakistan after that, without any problems (not mentionng the annoying police escort). Finally they arrested me when I wanted to exit to India. They suspected me as a spy. The FIA said, I should have registered myself to the border rangers and I wouldn't have ended up in jail.

Hi Viktor and all,
looks like very nice area i would like to visit the broghill valley, is it enough there just to have a Pakistan visa?
I will come from Europe on a motorbike with no rush and Pakistan is on my list to visit extensively.
All tips and info is welcome.

cheers Koen

Hey all,

so far everyone here said its "impossible" to cross Wakhan to Pakistan.

What happens if I just try to cross Broghil from Pakistan to Wakhan? I,d obviously need an afghan visa to not get into severe problems once i left Wakhan. Someone here in the forum said that he heard, for the afghan side Broghil is a proper border and you just have to register once you're back in Ischkaschim.

Will I get stopped by some lone pakistani border agent somewhere close to the border? Do they really patrol the border region there?

That sounds so legit, could please write about all the struggles and arrest when it happens.

Seems Viktor did cross (illegally) and ended up being arrested at the Pakistan/India border and detained for 1 month;

He was subsequently kept in an isolation ward in Bihar, India during the pandemic, refusing to go back home;

Interesting journey, not so sure about the attitude.
