World Tour Leg 34 - Karachi to Jaipur

Once arrived to Karachi, I don't find any passenger or cargo to be taken towards the Himalaya, but I hear that some work is available from Jaipur to Nepal, so I don't doubt a second and decide to fly towards Jaipur. The weather was not expected to be good in a while, so I decided to make a full IFR long flight. It is actually the longest leg I have flown until now, covering 560 nm. The previous longest one was from Misrata to El Beida (500 nm), in VFR. Let's see how the Baron behaves now.

 

There is not much to say about this trip, besides the fact that we crossed the border towards India, finding a combination of stunning desert formations in Pakistan and huge green fields in India. Many mouths to feed.

 

The Baron did a great job, technically a great flight, without any incidence. And finally I meet the passengers that I will take to Nepal. Things might get more interesting from now on.
