HIMALAYAN WEDDING! The Wakhi Tribe (My Story)

[@abidajehan4805]

I am deeply grateful for your kind words, Asra. Everything you’ve created is absolutely beautiful and beyond my expectations. You've captured every detail of Wakhi culture so authentically and thoughtfully. Thank you so much for mentioning my company as well! On behalf of the entire Wakhi community, I would like to express our heartfelt appreciation for showcasing our culture to the world. Your work truly honors our heritage, and we are grateful for the care you have taken to represent us.😍🥰 (I had the pleasure of meeting her during her visit to Pakistan in 2021. Her dedication, attention to detail, and thorough research are evident throughout the video. In about 35 minutes, Asra provides a deep and insightful look into a culture that spans over 10 centuries and stretches across more than four countries) Thank you, Asra, for this exceptional video, for the thoughtful presentation, and for showcasing our culture so positively. We hope you’ll visit again to experience even more aspects of our heritage. Wishing you all the best in your future endeavors!🙏

I had no idea the Wakhi people even existed before watching this, and now I feel like I’ve had a glimpse into their world - like we were right there with you, soaking up their traditions, their way of life, and that incredible mountain scenery. Their everyday views better than most holiday spots! 😂 Your videos have this way of making peoiple feel like they're discovering a whole new country for the first time, seeing it through your lens. I’ve never been to Pakistan, but this makes me want to pack my bags and just explore. From the hats and dance moves to the apricot kernels and rukhun tubaq (I mean, who knew?), every little detail was so fascinating to learn about. It’s amazing how rich their culture is and how much history and meaning is tied to their traditions - The way the community comes together for the wedding, the kids looking after you, and the family sleeping all in one room - it’s just so different from what most of us know, but it feels so warm and welcoming! P.S. Is it just me, or is anyone else suddenly craving apricots and ghee? 😂

As a guy from Gilgit , I thanks alot for you to visit our north 🇵🇰. Gilgit Baltistan is a very small area by population but believe me it is very diverse as there are 6 different ethnicities and local languages. ❤️

[@asrahussainn]

@@AliSher-c8u my friend are you from Gilgit city? The next couple of documentaries to come will be about other ethnic groups within Hunza. I hope you’ll watch 😍 And please do give me some detailed feedback on this documentary. I’d love to know if there were any highlights for you, key learnings, anything you disliked? Please do share away! ♥️ It was a huge project to make this documentary. The research alone took one month 😫

[@AliSher-c8u]

@ You know there is a also a tribe/people who extract “gold” from river indus bank in gilgit . The process by which they do is unique and ancient one maybe you have noticed tents on river banks in KKH , they are those people . I hope you do a video about them . There are gemstone extraction spots in KKH or skardu road . It is also done by local people plz do a video on that also , it will be interesting. Also there is a unique concept of centuries old himalayan ritual of “shamanism” to control evil spirits in hunza /nagar/gilgit . I wished you have witnessed that as it is terrifying and unique experience but it is rare nowadays . Lastly once again I would recommend you to visit Astore district as it is unexplored one . Go to minimarg, domail , kala pani , rama lake , ratu villages of this district . And thanks alot for your incredible work on GB and 🇵🇰❤️❤️❤️

Yup you are right same

[@asrahussainn]

My friend this stuff is INSANE!! Can you please keep in touch with me ? Email me on [e-mail] And once you have emailed me let me know & I will check. A lot of new emails go into junk. Or message me on Instagram: @asrahussain The stories that you have shared is INSANE! I would LOVE to make a documentary on those 😍 yes I did notice the tents at KKH. I thought those people were there to work on the highway!! 😨😨 And where in Gilgit are you from? Where do you live ?

Assalam-o-Alaikum Little Friend... I had to watch this episode in 2 parts, first on 10th and second today (19th) as I myself was busy in a wedding ceremony. I have always admired your focus on highlighting even small details and facts about whatever you are presenting in each episode. Above all, your mingling with local people, becoming a part of the family and enjoying the cultural traditions is truly lovable. Your efforts and hard work is speaking through the comments of your viewers. May Allah keep you and your loved ones blessed always and fulfil all your righteous desires. Ameen.

[@asrahussainn]

@@aamirsyed3474 Wsalaam. Thank you for such lovely words. I’m so glad that you managed to watch despite being busy. I appreciate it 🥰 I really enjoyed this experience and so glad that I get to share with you all as well. It was a lot of work. The research alone took over a month 😭 I hope the wedding went well and you had a great time ! ♥️

[@aamirsyed3474]

@@asrahussainn Hi Little Friend.. Actually that was my son's wedding and we were all busy for months preparing for that. For sure, weddings in urban areas are not like the ones you portrayed. I would say that many of the so called professionals who make such documentaries for mainstream media should watch your Vlogs to learn doing it right way... It is not about the efforts or research work, but your heart that create such outcomes. Stay blessed always.

[@mmmapn777]

This is a truly uplifting documentary. What a beautiful backdrop for a wonderful wedding. The Wakhi are a beautiful, gentle people. The children are delightful, and they seem to adore your presence. Words like Putuk, Shuparzuan, Lumberdar, and Ala Lumberdar are as evocative as the surrounding mountains. The traditions are rich, and one hopes they survive the ravages of modernity, as I do for the unique language as well. Much of humanity might suffer under severe poverty, but abundant kindness and generosity, as you have shown us among the Wakhi, more than compensate for the lack of material comfort. At least the Wakhi have been spared the violence and destruction that has affected the region in recent years. Thank you so much, Asra, for giving us a window into this unique part of the world.

[@asrahussainn]

Mawannnn my friend! So lovely to see a message from you! Thank you for watching & for such beautifully written & descriptive feedback.

[@UrbanDuniya]

Life in the north is very different. I visited outside of tourist high season, and it’s just so different. So dark at night, so cold… so harsh… but the natural environment is just perfection ❤️ it must be so challenging to live there, though. And it’s true what you say about the literacy and society in Hunza… it’s like a different mindset. Love the music choices! So interesting to know that they begin with prayers in Farsi! And the wedding traditions are so different to those of “mainland” Pakistan 😍 love the couple on the tractor! Best wishes Karim and Nahida for a long, happy, healthy and peaceful life together ❤️

[@asrahussainn]

@@UrbanDuniya My DEAR friend! THANK YOUUUU for such a beautifully written description of what this doc made you feel. I really appreciate you watching and leaving feedback.

I really appreciate having it as support when I was doing the research 😍♥️ I’m so glad you liked the music! My goodness selecting, hunting and editing soundtracks is one of the HARDEST parts!

[@abdullahazzam3244]

After the long wait of two months, finally it's here and I finally got the chance to see it in big screen as it's meant to be watched and experienced. This docu-series is something else because it's exciting, entertaining and educational at the same time. Exploring the unexplored places is kind of a norm but exploring culture in such depth with a deep personal touch and experience is rare. Thank you Asra, for taking us through the cultural experience of Wakhi people. Even as a Pakistani, I was mostly unaware of their simple yet elegant life style. Your storytelling technique feels like it's at its peak here while you take us through their homes, their streets, their surroundings and their overall way of life. Wakhi are indeed a beautiful people inside and out and you've successfully achieved showing us just that. Happy Marriage to the beautiful couple and may they have a happy blessed life together. Well done for this episode. You definitely outdid yourself here and may you keep doing that. Eagerly Waiting for the next episode. Regards Abdullah Azzam From Islamabad, Pakistan 🇵🇰

[@lizmattock5937]

Wow. Just watched Episode 2. Captivating! How did you get the night sky footage? What did you honestly think of the ghee and apricot kernel oil and milk dish? You can definitely see the Persian influence on the community, the groom was dressed more like a sultan. Apologies if I don't use the right language but when they say prayers, they caress their face with their hands, what does this signify? Everything about these people is so colourful. They have a real zest for life and celebration which came over in the documentary. My Dad used to be a farmer. I was impressed to see all the way out there in the valley they have a Massey Furgusson 🤣 When do we see Episode 3??? xx

This is truly exceptional. I remember meeting you at Karim's place during the wedding. You told me that you're from the U.K. and I told you I lived in London. It was a short conversations but I was not aware you're there to film the wedding. You did everything so discretely yet your story telling and filming is so grand in terms of visual and narrative. Thank you for teaching me many things about Wakhi culture that I myself was not aware despite being Wakhi myself. There were some misinformation but that's very marginal and of course you're not an ethnographer but tried to remain true and honest to the culture. I will definitely invite you for my marriage :)

[@asrahussainn]

Helloooo my friend how lovely to see a message from somebody that I met! I really enjoyed reading your message you put a smile on my face. Thank you for watching and for such kind words. Omg you live in London?! Are you still here? I am in London ALL the time I was just there last week! We MUST meet! I am from the Midlands but I am down south often. All of my family are there as well. The reason why you didn’t know that I was there to shoot Karim’s wedding is because… I WASN’T there to shoot Karim’s wedding! Hahaha 😜 I was simply a tourist in Pakistan. Abida and & became friends and she very kindly invited me to the wedding. I had NO IDEA just how unique and different you people are so my experience at Karim’s wedding and in Hunza in general was just absolutely BEWILDERING! But because I wasn’t in Pakistan to shoot I don’t have any good footage ☹️ the only photos/videos that I have are those that a typical tourist would take. So basically a load of rubbish!! Which is why you’ll notice that in this documentary a lot of the footage isn’t mine! People VERY kindly gave me footage for the making of this documentary. As I travelled around Pakistan I was absolutely bewildered by what I was seeing. I had no idea that the country had so much to offer. So it was In Pakistan that I discovered what I want to do with the rest of my life which is to make documentaries on cultures around the world. So after returning to England I didn’t go back to my job, I started a new career on KZbin! So I have to say a big Thank You to people like YOU for helping me discover what my real calling in life is! I am absolutely GUTTED that I didn’t film Karim’s wedding properly & did such a terrible job. I was complaining to Abida yesterday that I wish I had documented his wedding properly, had a proper camera etc etc But now that I know what I did wrong and now that I am taking this seriously, I PROMISE for your wedding I shall do a much BETTER job! It will be 10 times better! Very professional and very high quality. You’ll be showing your grandchildren! 😉😜 Thank you again for watching and please keep in touch.

Wow, truly impressive work! You have put in so much passion and diligence, and it shows. Just one note-"Chapati" is an Urdu word, while in Wakhi, it's called "Nigan." Bravo!

[@asrahussainn]

Hello hello! So lovely to wake up and see your comment from a Wakhi individual 😍 Thank you for such kind words you made me smile. Where are you from? Even though I stayed in Ghulkin I was all over Gojal! Maybe I had met your family? Regarding “chapati” it’s not actually an Urdu word! It’s an English word. The Urdu word is “roti”. Although the word “chapati” derives from Sanskrit it is used both in Hindi and English but predominantly English and in Hindi/urdu we say roti 😋 which is why in all of the supermarkets here in the UK it will be sold as ‘chapati’ to the English market. If you just google ‘what is roti in English?’ You’ll be able to read further 🙂 I find these things very interesting I’m very fascinated by languages. Thank you for teaching me the wakhi word ‘Nigan’. I hope you can teach me some more Wakhi when we meet in person! I am inviting myself to your home in Gojal! Hahahaha 😜😂 Thank you again for watching please do keep in touch!

[@sanjaymandal797]

​@asrahussainn it was fascinating to see the Wakhi people tucked in a small corner. What was interesting to note in your coverage was the location of the tribe as that was also close to the route that connected the sub continent with central Asia. The dance for example had steps and hand actions similar to some dances in himachal and ladakh. The bridal dress was similar to one region of Turkey and women were not wearing the hijab. Then the use of urdu as a bridge being used. I was also wondering if they had pashto in their original wakhi dialect but since I don't know pashto could not figure out. Then the wedding ceremony customs are so similar to the mountain regions in the himalayas. It was also interesting to note the word 'chapati' as mostly hill people have bread influences of roti rather than chapati. The method of use of clarified butter in preparing of the dishes seemed unique as was its preservation though some areas in Nepal use rancid butter for tea. And lastly my fascination for the region and Pakistan in general as my grandfather studied in lahore at aitcheson and I look forward to a trip to lahore and peshawar some day. So the travel agency me tion in the Video was helpful. Nice to see a young girl do these adventures as I was a avid trekker in the himalayas during the 80's and 90's particularly in the snow leopard areas of the Indian side of the himalayas. All the best in your adventures

What fantastic feedback you gave thank you! And you are incredibly well travelled you must write a book! Where are you from? Your points were so fantastic I’ll refer to them individually 1. Yes you’re absolutely right about the location being close to Central Asia! It was part of the “Silk Road” (an ancient trade route) which connected China to Rome to trade silk, spices & wool. I’m sure you already know about this- I’m preaching to the choir here 😂😂 2. Since I’ve posted my Wakhi documentary, other people’s videos have been popping up in my recommended of Tajiks in China, Tajikistan, etc etc. the culture is practically the same as the Wakhis and the comments are filled with Wakhi people! So I’m trying to understand if Wakhi people are originally Tajik but then again their origin is unclear so it’s a hard one to figure out 🤷🏽‍♀️😩 3. I would assume that the people in Himachel & Ladakh would have overlapping culture with the Wakhis (& other mountain tribes I will show you in future) because they’re Himalayan? I know that the Balti people of Skardu (Pakistan Himalayas) are also found in India. But I have noticed overlapping cultures with mountain people in general. 4. Sorry I wasn’t clear with the chapati part! I used the word ‘chapati’ when describing the roti, because that is the English word for it. It is also sold to the English market as ‘chapati’ here in the UK. The Wakhis don’t say chapatti or roti they have their own word in the wakhi language which I completely forgot 😂🙈 How lovely to hear about your grandfather studying in Lahore! 😍 where is he now? I really hope you get your travel Lahore & Peshawar you’ll have the best time. I would absolutely love for you to watch my introduction documentary. I explain why I ended up in Pakistan & it links to my grandfather. It’s a very emotional story - many have wept tears. I’m sure you’ll enjoy 🙂 and you’ll relate because of your grandfather. It would be great to get your feedback 😍 kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpLVqHeXgdSmm7c

@@asrahussainn I think it was the area south of where you were, south of where that huge lake that was caused by massive landslide in 2010. I have forgotten the name of the village we stayed in. Actually, there were no hotels and we stayed at a local Police stations in one of the jail cells. Since the crime rate is negligible there, the rooms were empty and they offered us to stay there (LOL). The events you documented spells excellence. I love the opening shot of the mountains looking north. Those jagged peaks in the background are simply beautiful.

[@asrahussainn]

That is HILARIOUS that you stayed in empty prison cells 😂 I laughed out loud 😂😂 my goodness you are full of stories you will have to tell me more over a cup of tea! Remind me, you’re based in the USA right? Where about? The lake that was formed by the landslide is attabad. The village with it is called Attabad and the village next to it is hussaini. I think you may have stayed in Attabad village. I’ll be covering these places in the next episode! 🥳

Asra, thank you for remembering me, I was indeed waiting for your next episode, video is a unique one, exploring Wakki tribe, how clearly you explained their history & showed a complete & detailed wedding 💒 function. Showing elders & younger taking part in events of marriage ceremony. You look awesome, your videos are always different from others, next time you visit Pakistan, do spare a little time for Lahore.

[@asrahussainn]

Hoorayyy finally your name came up!! I was wondering where you were?! Was hoping that everything was ok it was strange and very sad to not see your name! ☹️ but glad that you are still around 😍 Qaiser I was in Lahore for 2 weeks. I did enjoy the sites but at the time it was just too hot for me so I think next time I come to Lahore I will have to time my trip properly. And you must take some time out for me and take me to local spots that tourists don’t know about! You’ve seen episode 1 right? I do cover Lahore very briefly, I just didn’t shoot any documentaries there and I didn’t come across any stories that were very unique. Maybe because my time there was limited. But please do pray for me inshallah in future I can have a team and be sponsored so I can shoot an absolutely bewildering documentary on a story I found in Lahore! I don’t want to do anything typical like “the history of Lahore” or “the sites of Lahore”. There are hundreds of documentaries already on those topics! I want to find a unique story that hasn’t been shared! So please keep me in your prayers. Thank you for watching and always supporting me. I appreciate you ♥️

(this is your effort that you involve your audience in such a way that I can hardly take off my eyes from the Video) Next time you make video make it at higher resolution (above 720 p) Although you are an Urban Girl but your heart is in mountains (like me) but I am inviting you to Lahore just to meet you. (You are such a nice girl that sparing some time for you is worthwhile) I know there are 1000 s of videos on Lahore. Yes, you will perform much better with your team & I am fully confident that you will get a lot of Spencers for your next tour. It took me a bit late to be here because after I got some time from my Business I volunteer my self in helping humanity & this time I was busy there.

[@asrahussainn]

Awww you always are very kind with your words. Thank you for watching on a bigger screen. Unfortunately my videos have been shot in 1080p only 😭😭 so that’s the highest quality I can do! When I went to Pakistan it wasn’t with the intention of filming. I was simply a tourist. Which is why nothing that I have has been professionally done. It’s all very tacky. It’s a great shame but when I next go I will go organised & prepared with very good equipment and shoot properly! The reason why this one was 720 is because I made a very silly mistake during exporting! It should have been 1080p. So very sorry about that ☹️ But please do keep me in your prayers.
