Video Description:
Considered to be one of the most desperate slum areas in South Asia, Lyari is also the largest slum in Pakistan’s sprawling, unpredictable and edgy metropolis, Karachi.
In the last decade or so, Lyari has constantly been appearing in the news whenever Karachi erupts into ethnic or gang-related violence. This is not to suggest that this area was a bastion of peace before the 2000s; but it is true that the political and criminal violence emerging within and from Lyari in the last 10 years has had a bigger impact on Karachi than ever before.
Criminal gangs dealing in drugs, guns, kidnapping and land scams with some of them even enjoying patronage from assorted political outfits and groups are a common sight in the narrow, crooked and overpopulated streets of Lyari.
But all this was not a sudden phenomenon emerging in the last decade or so. Nor is this all what Lyari is about.
I have never been so overwhelmed with kindness from complete strangers. Based on the locals the I spoke with, a lot has changed in Lyari over the last 10 years, and I am happy that I got the opportunity to spend my afternoon there.
More Pakistan Vlogs coming this week!

[@ChrisMustList]

Pleasure to meet you sir. You're a smart young man with a bright future. Thanks for watching!

Crazy cockfighting 😂

[@irfankhatri2695]

Where do you stand by ping in this video It would be a pleasure to see you

[@Pokegemz]

Chris - because of your videos I also chose to visit Pakistan a few months ago. I also got a hold of your "guide" Swallay. We had the best time traveling all thru-out Pakistan together. Similar to you, I am a world traveler, visiting over 50 countries...NEVER, I repeat NEVER did I receive such hospitality as I did from the Pakistani people. And, never felt safer....I can't wait to go BACK this year again and also visit Afghanistan !! Chris - you rock brother.

[@ChrisMustList]

I appreciate your kind words, and glad to hear you had a great trip!

[@blastoff4042]

Just found your youtube channel and have to say Im glad i finally found a real traveler on youtube, every other vlogger aside from a few, rarely show what reality is like in the countries they visit, this is some eye opening content for sure

[@ChrisMustList]

I'm honoured and appreciate that. I promise to be authentic, no selling fake fear, and my adventure in Pakistan will continue. I will be uploading a video a day on my way to Afghanistan.

[@IMHS21]

excellent videos, and very positive. Thanks for spreading the kindness in your video's, they really need it and congratulations with 300k subs, onto the next target!

[@blususpect]

This Pakistan 🇵🇰 series is about to dope fr, safe travels ✈️ & I hope you end going to places people haven’t been before. Pakistan Zindabad 🇵🇰!

[@ChrisMustList]

I appreciate that, and that's the game plan. If you have any ideas for me, I'm all ears. I'll be posting a video a day from this day forth as I make my way to Afghanistan.

[@nickmusttravel]

Another excellent video Chris. I love seeing the places that most people will not go to. You kind of give me more inspiration and motivation to not be afraid of travelling the road less travelled. Safe travels as always.

[@ChrisMustList]

I appreciate that sir! I hope all is well.

[@nickmusttravel]

@@ChrisMustList All is well thanks! 🙏I'll be going to Canada for a visit soon now that all the tyrannical restrictions are over. Amen!

[@ChrisMustList]

@@nickmusttravel Yes the madness has subsided for the time being.

[@sid-pakistan8234]

Thank you for showing positive side of Lyari Karachi, More power to you man. Hope you will visit Pakistan again.

[@ChrisMustList]

The reason I showed the positive side of Lyari, is because that is what I witnessed. I'm all about showing the authenticity of any city/country. I'll have a minimum of 10 Pakistan videos on my channel in the next 10 days, so stay tuned... and thanks for watching !

[@MAamirNagori]

You might be first you-tuber who visited Lyari. Welcome to Pakistan 🇵🇰 Looking forward to your daily uploads for Pakistan series.

[@ChrisMustList]

[@ChowdahHead]

Thanks Chris for bringing this window of culture to us North Americans. I’ve commented on this before but I can’t help but notice mostly boys and men on the streets. I need to add, the looks you get from the locals, you can read their minds what they must be thinking about you.

[@uncle1670]

As someone who lived there when it was a “no-go area” I’m glad this place got better, I still remember hearing about a new crime every other day in my street.

[@KashifMisidia]

Fantastic 😍 Welcome to Karachi , Love to see my friend Swalay with you

[@ChrisMustList]

He's a great man, and thank you for watching.

[@smh6234]

When Pakistan became a country, many of the educated and wealthy Indian Muslims moved to Lyari, my family was one of them. As time went on, these people moved to more elite areas, around the same time, refugees from across the region moved in. Come early to mid 2000's brought out gang wars, drug dealing, and all types of ignorant behavior.

[@ChrisMustList]

Thanks for sharing!
