15-Jul-2007 -- After successful visit of 26N 70E yesterday we stayed overnight in Umerkot. We started our journey at 7am in the morning. From Umerkot we drove to Kantio and from there we came to Chailar. Here we requested a local man to join us and guide us in the desert. We came to village Khobri and from here we arranged another local resident to join us and take our vehicles at the nearest point to confluence. Now Ahmed was experienced enough to drive in the desert area so we reached about 350 meters from confluence at 9.30 am. We had to walk about 550 meters as the point was on other side of small sand hill. We all were tired by climbing the hill and walk to the point. We reached the point at 9.50 am. The point was in agricultural land. After taking necessary pics we walked back to our vehicles. We celebrated the occasion by having soft drinks. From here we drove to the border town of Nagar Parkar where the lunch was arranged by Afaq's friend who was a road engineer there. In Nagar Parkar we went to see an old Hindu temple where on the way we saw many peacocks. In temple we also enjoyed the songs of a blind singer. From here we drove to Mithi for over night stay. |
