Nonetheless, in the areas that are safe it's amazing to hitchhike in Pakistan. Pakistani [[hitchhiking a truck|trucks]] are beautiful (even though they sometimes go as slowly as 10 km/h) and the truck drivers are very hospitable.
EDIT 2020: All locals say that Punjab, Gilgit and most parts of Sindh are relatively safe for traveling. Only in Baluchistan and some parts of KPK (especially close to the border with Afghanistan) there seems to be some trouble. It is not possible to travel Baluchistan without being escorted by the police who will force you on a bus or train. Also, when you travel through Baluchistan, you need to obtain a so-called NOC (no-objection certificate) once you get to Quetta. This process requires a couple of days while you are not allowed to leave the hotel that you are forced to stay at. That being said, Punjab is great for hitchhiking as there are perfectly modern highways with toll stations and people are incredibly hospitable. Sometimes, the road police will even help you find rides. The magic word for hitchhiking is "lift/lifting/lifter".
