Is Driving to Toli Peer Safe?

Exercise a high degree of caution in Pakistan due to the unpredictable security situation and the high threat of terrorism, civil unrest, sectarian violence, and kidnapping. Several terrorist groups operate across the country, with attacks often attributed to extremism, ethnic tensions, and political disputes. Common incidents include bombings, shootings, and other forms of violence.

Driving can also be hazardous due to aggressive and reckless drivers who often ignore traffic laws, resulting in frequent accidents. If you’re involved in an accident and feel your safety is threatened, leave the area immediately and report it to the nearest police station.

If you choose to drive in Pakistan:

  • Avoid driving after dark
  • Keep doors locked and windows up
  • Leave your travel itinerary with a third party
  • Carry photo ID for police checkpoints
  • Be well-prepared with gasoline, water, food, and a cell phone
  • Call the police if involved in an accident
