For horde, this is a long trip. Starting from Arathi Highlands, take the road at the Southern point across the broken bridge through the Wetlands. When viewing the Wetlands map, youll see that the road splits in three. Continue down the road on a straight path and itll lead you to Dun Algaz, which takes you through the mountains into Loch Modan. Youll start to run into Alliance dwarves as your on the road. Head SE towards the lake and follow the shore south. Youll find a path as you continue south that is a series of tunnels that eventually leads you into the Badlands.
Youll pass through low level areas, just avoid the Alliance sentinels as you pass. Youll aggro a few but just run.

Though not an obvious landmark, there is a tribute to the movie "Conan" here in the Badlands. If you go southeast of the Hammertoe Digsite and follow an unmarked path up a hill there, you will soon arrive at the entrance of an underground crypt. There are no mobs to worry about within this place, but inside you can see an armored skeleton amongst several others sitting on a grand throne.
Other – a deep chasm runs between Badlands and Loch Modan – it is uncertain as of this time how players will proceed into the zone from Loch.
When you approach from Thelsamar/ Loch Modan as before you are faced with what seems an insurmountable chasm with Uldaman on the other side.However! do not despair. If you move up to the edge on the western side of the opening, at 47.2, 73.5, there is in fact a very narrow and steep path that leads you down and back up the other side into Badlands. It is not clear at all especially at night but I have passed this way and it is possible.
Just be aware that the sides are very steep and it is very easy to fall though hopefully not fatally. Saves a long, long detour otherwise.
Once over I suggest heading east toward the coast and grab the new flight path at neutral Fuselight, the new goblin settlement at 66,36 (there is a path up with bright way markers starting around 60.7,28.3). Or straight ahead to the flight path at Dustwind Dig for alliance at around 50,37 (hopefully coords are showing accurately)
