Thank you Mahera and Doc Mansoor for putting a spotlight on lives of the local population living in such a harsh environment. Your vlog is so unique, others have briefly touched this most northern part of Pakistan and returned. Only in your vlog the audience gets to enjoy life in this beautiful corner of Pakistan. Doc’s book seems to be getting along, the cover of the book should have his picture amongst the mountains of Chapursan valley. Where is Hamid sb, didn’t see him in the vlog? I bet you those home grown wheat bread and eggs are just delicious. Architecture of homes in the area is different from normal Pakistani villages homes with skylights in the sitting area. It is great to see the new generation in this area so keen to get an education. Government should provide more educational scholarships and employment opportunities to the youth in the area. It was eye opening to see that people in Chapursan had to travel to the southern most city of Pakistan to seek medical attention. There need to be medical facilities in the area to alleviate people’s medical needs. If there is electricity supplied to each home, the government could also supply internet using electricity wires to each home. The young people instead of wasting their time sitting at home could use remote learning via internet to keep studying during COVID and find employment via the internet. Mahera your attempts to cut wheat was really brave. Harvesting like that puts intense pressure on the knees and lower back. I am amazed how sometimes they harvest the sharp wheat stalks without gloves. Wheat grown in this area have very shallow roots and can be easily plucked out like flowers. Wheat grown in Punjab needs a tractor to get the roots out of the ground. Hope you get to see the traders coming from Afghanistan and the barter trade. You can pluck the three different tea flowers, press them in a book and frame them on your wall. Have you guys tried Yak meat and butter yet or any of the local dishes? Pictures taken from Doc’s camera were really great. Looking forward to another cinematic treat. 👍

Thankyou for your kind words the people of our northern areas are unique their quest for knowledge has no boundaries their hospitality is unmatched. The way they live as a community is remarkable looking after each other and working hard in that environment, respecting nature and keeping their century old traditions alive is beyond words. For me this adventure was an eye opening experience made friends for life.. love you guys ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Ive been watching ur vlogs n loving it seriously...i like these places alot n went to battagram allai last yr. Its kinda away from tourists n everything there is so natural...we stayed there at our house helps home n love every bit of it...but the only problem is ive spiders phobia n these places have insects like anything.....i cant sleep the whole night just thinking about them if i saw them roaming around even once ...thats the only issue i face even though i literally cherish every memory while watching ur vlogs.... Jazakallah for uploading such a beautiful n natural content. Love u n doctor sahab.

Greetings from Toronto, Canada. Great to see organic life of Chupersan valley. Thanks for sharing !!!

[@nishantdeshpande3233]

Hello from southern tip of India. I’ve been following your travelogues from some time now. Thank you for sharing glimpses of northern areas, very beautiful place. Contrary to popular beliefs, it is heartening to see penetration of higher education in such remote areas. Keep these videos coming. Regards to Dr. Mansoor :)

[@Drmansurahmad1]

Thankyou for your kind comments 👍

[@johnPl100]

This entire series has been outstanding. Nowhere near a professional myself, but must I say that everything including the videography, the storytelling, and the adventure itself is raw, pure, and back to the basics: unlike anything presented by the homesick millenial iPhone hobbyists who come without ever wanting to leave their comforts and the main highway behind, passively seeking the same old urban indulgences, getting fascinated only by the ordered architecture rather than the chaotic nature. Can't get enough 💙💙

[@MaheraOmar]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the series. We are missing the mountains. Went on a hike around Hushe valley in the late summer.. video coming soon.

@@Drmansurahmad1 You are welcome anytime to be my guest. There are some places in Kargil similar to Chapursan. I have taught school kids there. So it brings back memories. Would love to see a another series with new adventure and new place but all the same characters (😆). Especially you Doctor, your perception of life inspires me a lot. Allah bless you all.

[@handsomeinocent2476]

Another very nice & healthy episode regarding chapursan culture . very informative and healthy discussion with locals , specially the way of talking by Dr Mansoor Sahab is really owesome and impressive engaged every member during his discussion . I think spent your money & time with lovely people & beautiful places is far better than spent in 5 star hotel bedroom . I am very much like that Dr Sahab purchase hand made hand beg from that girl ,I remembered her smile that is really positive moment for her . well overall we must appreciate the work of mahera Omar who really captured an unforgettable moments of life . we are not only a viewers . apki videos dekhny k bad aisa lagta hai ham b apky sath travel rahy hain . lastly I am a big fan of great Dr Sahab thankyou Dr mansoor for deeply reply on my last comment on your previous episode . thanks a lot sir ALLAH bless you .

The way you film is amazing. The other people don't get conscious about it. Seems like you're invisible. That's great talent!

[@MaheraOmar]

Well, that’s because we have been travelling together for decades and know each other well. If you mean the folks besides our own group, then maybe because I use a phone to film mostly so it doesn’t seem like such a big deal.

[@valeedimam3831]

Nice travel vlogs mahera. Please keep them coming! You should try travelling to every corner of Pakistan and shoot organic vlogs like these. So that the majority can see and experience the country side!

[@MaheraOmar]

Thank you! I’m not really interested in travel vlogging. This trip happened to be a holiday that I filmed a bit, and now sharing here for our group. Travelling to every corner of Pakistan would be a very difficult and time consuming endeavour for me just for the reason of bringing the countryside to the majority. There are already many KZbin channels bringing great content for consumption. But thanks anyways for your suggestion.

simplest way of life. andaa, phool ki chaye, bicycle kid, gandoom katayi, details beautifully captured.well done sister. on the other hand life is very harsh. it is very much sure those kids wud never stay in those areas after completing education. they wud rather prefer city life which can give them better life with jobs and money. all u need to read their faces to predict future. may allah help them in achieving goals and living standard.

[@Drmansurahmad1]

Thank you for your comment .. you will be surprised how their younger generation is motivated to keep their culture alive.. they are highly educated and love their land working fields and fruit trees their perception of wealth and happiness is different from the city folk.. we think that money good jobs cars houses lead to a fulfilling life … well if you have slept under the stars in the wild and experienced the wild like they have .. you would have a different perception of life .. i hope you have the privilege if experiencing that someday God bless 💙❤️

[@shehlasiddiqi3410]

Chapursan people have Turkish roots and culture mixed with Alexander and Mongols. Plz correct if your observation and on ground research differs.

[@Drmansurahmad1]

They are Wakhi and have a distinct separate language not spoken elsewhere only in that part of the area, they have relatives in bordering afghanistan and Tajikistan and china too the wakhan corridor is an amazing place. The wakhi still come in october to baba ghundi in yak caravans bringing goods to barter no money is exchanged .. what a way to live in this twenty-first century. I am sure they have alexander mongol and turk blood in them … amazing people .. great respect for them ❤️❤️❤️❤️
