The Cholistan Rally, also known as the Cholistan Desert Rally, is an annual off-road rally race that takes place in the Cholistan Desert of Pakistan. The Cholistan Desert is a vast, arid expanse of sand dunes and rocky terrain that covers an area of approximately 26,000 km² (10,000 mi²) in the southern part of the country.
The Cholistan Rally is organized by the TDCP and is open to a variety of vehicles, including cars and motorcycles. The rally covers a distance of approximately 500 km (311 miles) and is known for its challenging terrain, which includes everything from sand dunes to silt to high speed sections.
The Cholistan Rally is a test of both the driving skills of the competitors and the reliability and durability of their vehicles. Competitors must navigate their way through the harsh and unforgiving terrain of the Cholistan Desert, while also managing fuel and tire wear, and coping with the harsh weather conditions.
One of the unique aspects of the Cholistan Rally is its cultural significance, as it takes place in one of the most remote and rural regions of Pakistan. The rally is an opportunity for competitors to experience the rich cultural heritage of the area, as well as to meet and interact with the local communities.
