Hi there... great video, at 15:06, why were they standing and taking photo then another guys says go...

[@deepakshirali]

Sorry mate, took my eyes off the road for a few days...and you got into all kinds of trouble! But what an experience - eh? Its a relief to see you are still chirpy. Saw some of the comments "justifying" and "explaining" the situation. It indicates an acceptance of the situation. Change only happens when you have a dream and cannot accept the situation. When instability is normalised, bringing stability means change - and everyone resists change. The best part of adventure riding is it proves that boundaries are only in the head. I wish more people stepped out of their comfort zone.

[@ZeroHighWays]

hi man, I couldn't agree more with your reasoning. things can always be done better, no matter what's the situation on the background. excuses never helped anybody, regardless how serious they are. and my role here is not to judge, but just to show how things are, in the hope that this could help to improve. Tourism is a resource for any country, but you must tempt people, not discourage. Not surprisingly India and Nepal are packed of tourists, while in pakistan i barely found a few foreigners.

[@deepakshirali]

@@ZeroHighWays So true. No judgements. Old proverb: walk a mile in the other person's shoes to know how it feels. Oh, BTW..I love getting your replies. However I won't feel ignored if you have more important things to do, afterall your days are totally full-on and exhausting when you are on the road.

[@peterallison8902]

That looks like very hard work on so many levels. Congratulations on completing it and showing us the reality of that section. I think I'm going off the idea of doing it myself. Maybe Iran is as far as I need to go.

[@ZeroHighWays]

It has been hard, no need for hiding that. I think that if you want to experience true adventure, it might worth to try to close your nose and accept that shit. On the North of Pakistan you will be able to experience the toughest adventure possible in the North emisphere.

[@aldomazzarini6505]

Grande Federico le tue avventure fanno parte della storia 👍 e la Benellona come va spero tutto bene un saluto 👋

[@ZeroHighWays]

Ciao Aldo, grazie 💚 La Benellona sta bene, se l'è vista brutta sulle strade che inizierai a vedere tra un paio di video, ma ancora tiene botta. Adesso ho qualche anomalia all'ammortizzatore posteriore che devo capire da cosa dipende, ma niente di grave.

[@vito21cent84]

Ciao Federico, cavolo un video veramente assurdo, non avete avuto respiro dalle scorte di polizia anche se sembravano pure ospitali ahahahahaha, ma poi non riesco a capire se vi scortano per un bene vostro o loro, alla fine cosa dovreste fare di così pericoloso essendo dei turisti? Cmq alla fine qualcosa di bello si è visto , speriamo nell'arrivo sull'himalaya, buona strada Fede.

[@ZeroHighWays]

giornate complicate, diciamo :D in teoria sono per la nostra sicurezza, ma in realtà sono più pericolosi loro dei pericoli da cui ti dovrebbero proteggere.

[@alessandromanzini1079]

Dopo quello che avevi raccontato nei vari post su FB ero davvero impaziente di vedere queste "puntate". Sei meglio di Pechino Express! 👍✌️

[@ZeroHighWays]

Diciamo che tutti i prossimi video saranno piuttosto "intensi" 😅 💚

[@lucadorazio8578]

Giornate difficili Fede, ma per fortuna sei riuscito a superarle. Fanno parte del viaggio, di un lungo viaggio come quello che stai facendo tu, ed alla fine sarà solamente una parentesi spiacevole. Non farti rovinare il viaggio…tieni duro 🤙🏼 Aspettiamo nuovi video e nuove piacevoli avventure. Good luck 🍀

[@ZeroHighWays]

Ciao Luca, grazie. Ho pubblicato proprio stamattina un nuovo video. Un saluto

[@yeppevanni6899]

Grande Fede ci fai vivere la vita reale di paesi molto lontani 👍 in Pakistan ti scortano obbligatoriamente ? senza costi ?

[@ZeroHighWays]

Grazie 💚 Si, scorta obbligatoria e gratuita, dall'ingresso fino alla fine del Beluchistan (circa 1500km facendo la rotta che ho scelto io, altrimenti un po' meno uscendo più a sud)

[@t0m0tech]

Che avventura, la parte finale era meravigliosa e conquistata metro per metro sia fisicamente che mentalmente con quel servizio di scorta

[@ZeroHighWays]

Già, un'avventura nell'avventura 🙂

[@martinstone904]

Environment Looks like scene from Mad Max Fury road

[@ZeroHighWays]

Yes! Especially due to those trucks 😁 I even said that at minute 13:00

[@Im.rider3]

Really crazy.. I don’t get why you were extorted. Is it mandatory?

[@ZeroHighWays]

Yes it is, at least within Baluchistan. Is for safety reasons, you are along the border with Afghanistan, in an area where some local tribes fight each other or against the government. I mean, it's not a war zone, but it's not 100% safe and a foreigner might be seen as a target

[@WindsofPakistan]

part of adventure man. I A with the passage of time and improvement in security this escort restrictions will be removed .

[@ZeroHighWays]

It would be enough a better organisation and taking care at 360 degrees of the security, because many dangers come also from the way these escorts are done. And I guess most of the overlanders would be more than happy to contribute paying something to help to improve.

[@WindsofPakistan]

@@ZeroHighWays This country have been in War of someone else for the last 20 years or so. This country has given 75000 lives for safeguarding people and guests like you from these militants. So please give us some time to come back towards normalization. IA things will improve. I hope you have got my point

[@ZeroHighWays]

@@WindsofPakistan man I know what you mean, but talking with other overlanders, few years ago it was much easier this escorting stuff, so it can be done better. Nobody ask that the security issues must disappear by magic. Sometimes things can just be done better with a better organisation and with the will to do it better coming from the "higher floors". And as I said, instead of a bad escort provided for free it would be much better a paid escort done with a little bit more care. If the levies save us from external dangers but then they put us in danger with their own behaviour, it's simply worthless doing all this.

[@WindsofPakistan]

@@ZeroHighWays man the situation is same for the last 20 years. Yes offcourse experiences are different . There are lots of things behind the scenes which you can't imagine. The people of Balochistan are fighting war with declare enemy and the other hidden enemies. I have been in touch with travellers whose experience is ok. Yes I agree with you that it all starts with the higher formations incharges but the delema is there is no political stability. The stability in Balochistan highly depends on the political situation in Afghanistan. IA as now the things are improving in Afghanistan we as a neighbor, will give more focus on the organization reforms. IA within few years things will be more streamline

@@ZeroHighWays voglio vede. perché, pensavi di cavartela con così poco? 😂😂😂

[@Mongoose118]

That is totally nuts!!! Paying for an escort!!! For what? To get cooked in the heat. To have photos taken with Police as a novelty for them. Hot water to drink. Very little rest? You must be exhausted Frederico. How many klms from the border until you get free of the guards?. Surely not from border to border!!! I am surprised you are managing? Bravo sir.

[@ZeroHighWays]

Wait wait, escort is 100% for free, included the slept the first night at the border and the second night at the police station in Quetta. I want to be clear about that. Photos as far as I know are to prove that you reached that check point alive and safe, in case something happens after. Km from the border with Iran till the exit from Baluchistan are around 1.500

[@Mongoose118]

Still nuts. Not good for the holiday trade!!!

[@robertocollicelli6734]

Ma ad ogni cambio di scorta, le credenziali? In un paese così..... Sei bravo a fidarti.

[@ZeroHighWays]

Credenziali e foto con la scorta per dimostrare che hai raggiunto vivo quel check point 😅 In che senso fidarti? Sono militari e passi di scorta in scorta, non c'è l'opzione fidarsi o non fidarsi 🙂

Comment: I’m not sure that I want to go to Pakistan! And what’s wrong with those crazy trucks?!

[@ZeroHighWays]

What do you mean? The way they are "dressed"?

[@vininio]

Yes

[@ZeroHighWays]

@@vininio is the way the use to "dress" their trucks, all of them. It's considered a form of art. I don't discuss the style, is a matter of personal taste and culture, even if I cannot say I like them very much. I just wonder if it wouldn't be much better to spend that money on some constant maintenance to the engine, considering that every and each of those truck emits huge clouds of a thick black smoke and the quantity of trucks on Pakistani roads is incredible. But in general they really should pay way much more attention to the environment. What I've seen there in terms of pollution an garbage on the ground and in the rivers is heart breaking

[@vininio]

So Pakistan is Pakistan...

[@arainmk]

They have to escort you out of Balochistan and they have limited locations where they are allowed to stay. It is a necessary experience unfortunately

[@ZeroHighWays]

limited doesn't mean zero, and in any case i spoke with other overlanders which just few years ago had a completely differente experience. Apart from that, since i have to pay almost 60€ for a visa and around 50€ for a letter completely meaningless letter of invitation, i'd be more than happy not to pay for that letter of invitation and use that amount of money to help pakistani government to offer a better service. if my safety is the purpose of the escort, at least let's make it actually safe

[@MaHirOV]

You Should Have Applied For Visa Earlier To Avoid Paying Extra 50 Euros

[@ZeroHighWays]

@@MaHirOV what is the correlation between the need for a Letter of Invitation and the time I applied for the visa?

[@MaHirOV]

@@ZeroHighWays People From Balochistan (Pakistanian and Iranian Province) Travel Frequently. Its Mandatory To Have An Invitation Letter On Both Sides As They Apply For Visa On Border. If You Apply Via Consulate Or Embassy Earlier They Dont Want Invitation Letter or Fees For That.

Fede sei acciaio temperato

Forgiato nel deserto del Beluchistan 😁

[@marcomessina7570]

Ciao Fede. E meno male che vi scortavano, ma lo facevano per tutelare la vostra incolumità o perchè avevano paura che eravate voi a creare casino? Quei sorrisi falsi e ipocriti.... Ho avuto l'ansia io in 10 minuti di video e di racconto posso immaginare, essendo il riassunto di tre giorni, come potevate stare voi... Poi, per l'acqua non potresti usare una cannuccia tipo quelle da trekking, da corsa o della motogp? non sarebbe più comoda? poi, perchè viaggiano sulla corsia di sinistra? Dai, pure queste tappe se le semo levate dalle palle... Buona strada e buon tutto 💪🤙👍

[@ZeroHighWays]

Ciao Marco, beh si una camel bag sarebbe stata comoda, ma a saperlo prima 😅 Guidano a sinistra come in India e Nepal perché sono ex colonie inglesi. Infatti ad esempio lo sport nazionale è il Polo. La scorta è per la nostra sicurezza, essendo il beluchistan una regione in cui ci sono tribù separatiste e la vicinanza all'afghanistan
