No words to say thank you for showing the brighter and positive sides of Pakistan. Even we Pakistanis were not aware of the places you guys have explored and uploaded on you tube.

[@BackpackerBen]

My pleasure bro 😎 glad you enjoyed

@@BackpackerBen I know most westerners have a Negative view about Pakistan,I would like to convey that all the terrorism/violence was the result of the War in Afghanistan...Now that war is Over,hence Pakistan is Safe to visit!!!!!

[@factspov6301]

Cameras cannot do justice to Pakistan's beauty. You have to be there with your 576 megapixels eyes to see and believe it. Also the people of Pakistan are unbelievably kind, generous and loving. I accepted Islam after I became friends with some amazing & caring Muslims but gotta say Pakistani Muslims are another level of sweetness and love. Dil Dil Pakistan ♥♥

The place is admittedly pretty addicting but if you have time and resources I would recommend you to do a K2 Basecamp trek while you're there. Words and cameras just can't do justice to how breathtaking a place can be.

Everything aside, the best thing about this Vlog is how much humanity you have as an individual. I love humans like you who don't create false boundaries and appreciate things as they are.

[@stonew1927]

First time to your channel. Done my fair bit of traveling and backpacking around the world. But haven't been to Pakistan. Was thinking what a stunning mountain scenery! And how I'd love to see it in person. Then I saw the road, and I was like, "No thank you!" Haha!! Thought I'd rather hike it than ride it, so I was encouraged to see that crazy dude hiking it. Maybe he's more sane than the rest of you!! I once rode what was deemed then to be "the world's most dangerous road" from La Paz to Coroico in Bolivia. That was before they built a safer highway across on the opposite side of the valley. Not sure if the old road is still in service. That was back in 1997. Enjoyed your video and look forward to checking out more on your channel. Aloha from Hawaii . . ..

[@iqtadarali884]

Agreed, the walking person is definitely more saner then the jeep folks.

Great place 👍

[@adventureleopards]

I grew up in Fairy Meadows but I live in Washington right now. Fairy Meadows is one of the most beautiful tourist destination I have ever seen;however, the infrastructure is dramatically changed because of the domestic tourism follow in summer. Thanks for sharing the video.

Really does look amazing, with all those hotels being built maybe the road will be better soon. Great video ..

Fingers crossed!

[@-k5703]

That road is an adventure in itself. Somethings should be left as is for experience, although Pakistan is quickly developing many highways in the northern region to up the trade with China and tourism

[@artistdigital]

I hope that road is never built well. Humans are parasites and they destroy natural beauty and those who really admire and take care of it will definitely find their way to it.

[@Muhammad_Waleed]

There is a high chance it won't be Because these roads are a source of Income for the locals (Jeep drivers) and they are experts in driving there.... So I don't see it happening soon

Fun fact about Nanga Parbat is that it's used in DC comics as the base for league of assassins lead by Ra's Al Ghul. Batman gets his training here at nanga parbat in the DC comics and its referenced in the 2006 batman triology (Christian Bale version).

When you said "where you are you guys from", the dude didn't understand and says "from?" and you say "Lahore", he gets confused and asks "Lahore?", he thought you were from Lahore. Then the selfie dude's selfie stick is broken and you can hear the shutter going off many times, I think it's taking many photos lmfao.

This place had a huge impact on Pakistan’s international tourism after the 2013 taliban terror invaded this paradise. Hopefully it stays safe in the future. Definetly a place worth all the effort and treacherous bumpy roads.

[@rosebibis631]

Actually northern areas of gilgit ,skardu ,fairy meadows, and all the areas around them were not affected by this internationally funded terror , Peshawar and Swat were affected mainly ...later locals realised it was an outfit funded from outside with millions of dollars ...give it a talib name and called it "religious ", all fake but it took over a yr or two for people to realise what it really was .

Just a suggestion, but take note of the soft service boots your police officer was wearing. Those are boots you need for travel. The lo-cut Converse gave me a laugh! LOL! I thought of them when I saw you mincing around in a previous vid in the mucky city streets in flip-flops. A couple pair of those soft combat/service boots would do you a world of good. One light, dry conditions pair and a Thinsulate, waterproof pair. Half the price of 'hiking boots' and much better build and quality. 👍👍👍👍
