Pakistan
Pakistan is a country in Southern Asia.
To cross Pakistan from west to east, you need to go through "Baloutchistan, a region which spreads between Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran. A region which is fighting for their independance since many years, a region which brings up terror and violence, because the Pakistani police, the Taliban and the Balochis fight each other. As a tourist you get an police escort" from weitumdiewelt.de (Going through an exciting country). See also the video about crossing Pakistan from Iran to India : vimeo.com/84466726.

Safety for female travellers
The general safety concerns about kidnappings are exactly the same for men and for women. In general in Pakistan I (user:Nina ) try to interact as much as possible with women, and (unfortunately) try to ignore local men as much as possible. I reserve my friendly smile only for women, and treat men with coldness.
Borders
Pakistan has borders with Iran, Afghanistan, China and India.
