Irem, if you want to have the experience of your life do it, not alone though, travel in a group, have atleast 2 vehicles and at least 3 males in the group. I have done it probably more than 50 times from 93 to 97, no I am not a lorry driver but I did ride a mercedeze tractor with a trailer from goThki to badin. The best I ever did was 18 hours (2 drivers continous driving with stops for food and nature calls). If you are really serious, I can give you the whole route with good road side restaurants as I am sure I still have the diary in which I made notes. The best desi food you will ever eat will be found at these truck stop chappaR hotels.

If that is not possile try the train or a bus. Train journey is more fun and there are female bogies in the trains and it is completely safe. A lot of women travel alone on trains, you wont be the only one. Khawateen digestoN wali adhi ishquia kahaniaN train kay safer maiN hi banti hain, shayed aap ki bhi chaandi ho jaaye :p .

If you are more inclined to travel by bus, I know a completely dependable person, who drives his own bus on Karachi/pindi route (used to work for me and I gave him the qarza to buy his bus, so he treats me like a brother, I get a bori of moong phali from him every season and kamalia ki khaddar time and again for my eid shalwar qameeze suits). Very nice person, he will give you the front seat and call you baji, baji all the way to pindi :D .

Let me know in advance.
