Pakistan | Pir Chattal, Camels & Jhal Magsi Rally Race in Balochistan

The idea to explore Balochistan's Jhal Magsi region was quite literally inspired by a mystical oasis I saw in a "best of Balochistan" article a few months ago and fell in love with. Pir Chattal Noorani Gandhawa is like a cross between something out of an ancient Roman fantasy and a magical place from Avatar. It is a MUST VISIT spot for anyone travelling not only Balochistan, but I would say for anyone travelling Pakistan because it's now on my Top 5 List of things to see in the country. In addition to the magical oasis of Pir Chattal, I'll also show you the famous annual event that takes place there: the Jhal Magsi Desert Challenge rally race. We'll spend time with hundreds of camels. And I have a couple of "this would seriously only happen in Jhal Magsi" stories to share. Given that this region is tribal-led and not governed in the same traditional ways we all expect districts and provinces to be run, it makes for some crazy stories from my days spent as a solo female traveller in Jhal Magsi!
I had a wonderful time exploring Jhal Magsi. They aren't quite setup for tourism yet but you can camp, which I would 100% recommend. Just please respect the environment and always remove everything you bring with you to keep this pretty land as lovely as it is today.
If you missed my first video where I explored mosques, tombs, shrines, and the pretty Moola River, watch it here: • Balochistan, Pakistan ...

I am so happy that you beautifully cover Baluchistan. When everyone talking and promoting beauty of Northern Areas sometime feels that there is no beauty in Southern Areas but actually diverse beauty of Southern part is unmatched but it is not rightly promoted. Thank you to cover this region so that people know that beauty is spread from North to South. Excellent vlog. Thank you

[@ateebali7371]

Dear Angela you are doing excellent job in presenting Pakistan to us and to the world I request you to please cover whole northern areas of Pakistan too because so far Eva zu beck has covered it very nicely but still not fully i would love to see it through your way as you are not just a great vloger but an excellent teacher too !!

[@AngelaCarson]

I appreciate the recommendation but it's so cold up there and I'm just not as happy travelling just to see pretty landscapes as I am to explore historic sites or review hotels. The only way I see myself doing it is to review the 5 star hotels.... (sorry :-(

[@AngelaCarson]

@@frehatipu9187 That's very kind. Just ... it's still really cold up there! haha I"m from the desert. I only go to the mountains to go snow skiing, not for pleasure to travel. My whole life I've sought out warm places for travel ... I know it's pretty but until it's warmer, it still has no draw for me :-(

Pir Chattal is now in my TOP 5 places to visit in Pakistan, just wait 'til you see it ❤️ UPDATE: I am going back to Balochistan next week and can't wait to show my support following the tragic terrorist attack at the Quetta Serena Hotel. That incident broke my heart for the families of the victims. It is also gutwrenching to imagine the negative impact this has on the forward progress of tourism for Balochistan :-( If you'd like to follow my day-to-day moments, please check out Instagram Story: instagram.com/angelacarson.xo

[@DTreagust]

Hi Angela - love watching your videos - Iam planning a year long trip to India next year. As an older solo gay traveller I was not sure about Pakistan, but your videos have convinced me to go for a month, planning to travel from Islamabad down to Karachi . Not too sure about Balochistan as yet due to the security issues - but your videos have shown such friendly people and I love the historic sites - watching with interest. - please stay safe - Daniel from Australia.

[@AngelaCarson]

Hey Daniel, feel free to message me on IG or FB with any questions you might have. I lived 3 years in India and had gay friends there that had to be very careful so please do be careful in India as well. As far as Pakistan, that initial trip I did from Islamabad down to Karachi by bus and train and road was such fun. There were a couple of forts I missed in Sindh (the south) so make sure you hit them all, truly special. You'll love it!

Visit upper balochistan like Zhob district and koh-e-suleman mountain ranges. Those are also incredible areas.

[@AngelaCarson]

Zhob was on my list and approved in my last NOC but it's such a long distance from Quetta I just couldn't get myself up for the long day. Need to sort somewhere to stay next time (that's approved for NOC) so I can stay 1 night. But yeah, those places are on my radar :-)
