CRAZIEST Driver in Pakistan?! 🇵🇰

Peshawar 🇵🇰 I left Islamabad to the crazy city of Peshawar which is on the border of Afghanistan. It was actually a place I was told to avoid in Pakistan due to safety reasons but I went anyway and my first contact was this taxi driver. Would you take this journey? Welcome to Peshawar!

I think the driver was asking you for some small change from England, maybe he was collecting coins or notes...Peshawar looks like a complete mayhem😁👍

Yes that’s what he wanted .

[@fromthemountains5635]

"Naswar" is tobacco snuff that you "dip". It is basically made of tobacco leaves and ash. The bazar that the nice taxi driver is mentioning is "Hasht Nagri" bazar. Pearl Continental is an old hotel but nice. I wouldn't call it five star. The taxi driver for some reason wanted you to give him 5 pounds so that he could have some foreign currency. The passerby was telling you that he was ?Mohmand Agency" which is a locality outside Peshawar.

very good blog mate.

[@BackpackerBen]

Thanks bro 😎

[@sethwikle7840]

i really appreciate these videos, and they really do fascinate me. it gives a completely different perspective on countries we only hear negative things about in the news. its showing what the country is ACTUALLY like on a normal day, and insight into what the everyday citizen is like as well. I personally would still be very nervous in a country like this, especially with a language barrier. But most of the people u encounter seem extremely nice and even welcoming of outsiders. Dare i say, even more friendly and open then people i encounter daily.

[@BackpackerBen]

Thanks Seth 😎

the food at nisar charsi is lovely.. i always go there when i visit peshawar.. you have to order your food at the counter.. it's quite expensive. and they have a minimum weight of meat you can order, so its best to go if there are a coupleof you going.it takes like 45 mins to cook on the bbq.. and while its cooking you can go and check out the gem market around the corner..

Ah this brilliant brother. I'd so like to do this. The closest I came to doing similar was staying in Lima Peru with my friends relatives who live there. You get to experience the full chaotic experience. We took a train to Aguas Calientes, my friends wanted to take the luxury train, but I suggested taking the locals train. They cried "what, with the hens and chickens??" Having convinced them, they found it hard to forgive me because it was slow, hot, and it broke down in the middle of the night, in the middle of nowhere! But it became a tremendous adventure, that you don't realise is occurring as it happens. Incredible footage, very enjoyable content. Cheers, Simon

Most people go around march or October

[@samarzaidi4792]

Between April and October weather is hot in most of Pakistan except some places in North. May, June and July are extremely hot. In August weather becomes a little bearable because of monsoon rains. September and October are hot during day and pleasant at nights. Winters are pleasant in plains but harsh on mountains. November to March are best to visit Pakistan.
