What’s Life Really Like Across the LoC? Inside a Remote Village

[@KarlRock]

What'd you notice about this village? Also, see how I got here in the previous vlog kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHS5qaSJeLOZbdk.

[@salatee1]

Please say Assalam-o-alaikum when you are in India.

[@ILikeBirds80]

Just started and thought, why can't they horse ride there😂... but I do see the river, I wonder if you could kayak/boat?

[@KarlRock]

@@ILikeBirds80 Kayak or boat would work. Although they only have very basic boats, so it's just safer to walk I guess.

[@ezrahelvetica988]

i searched for organic village, skardu on Google maps, and found a review by you with some pictures. and it was about a year ago? omg.

[@jimbob-robob]

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. I’m loving the Pakistan series.

[@KarlRock]

Thank you for watching 🙏 Lots more to come.

​@@KarlRock Ask them what they think about hindus , off-camera and they'll show you their true nature....even hitler and osama were charming on camera . Totally in love with the hunza valley series though , not to mention the ancient caves in Madhya Pradesh 👏👏👏

[@AbrarHussain-ot9oy]

@@user-jt5jz6mq9l I’m really sorry but you are an idiot man! The thing is you are getting education from Bollywood movies. The ground reality is different. My best friend is an Indian Hindu, we became friends on WhatsApp and from that day we have been like brothers. An educated Pakistani would never hate a Hindu or an Indian or anyone else. I am a Muslim but deep down my heart I know one way or the other there is a huge possibility that our ancestors might have been Hindus. I strongly believe we Pakistanis should preserve our Hindu Heritage, and our history. I strongly admire Chankya, I have read about Morya Empire, and I as a Muslim believe that Raja Dahir was a Hero who fought to protect his homeland. Let’s stop hating each other, we know who have been the biggest enemy of Peace between both India and Pakistan and it was never India! We could have been the best neighbours and unfortunately we turned out to be enemies. I believe one day situation will be better.

[@samuel9747]

Gilgit Baltistan was India's land for thousands of years. on October 1947 Pakistan invaded GB and Azad Kashmir and forcefully annexed them to Pakistan. for 1.5 billion Indians they will be always called Pakistan occupied Kashmir till they again officially be part of India.

Stunning landscape and beautiful people. Thank you for sharing this amazing journey with us Karl. You are bringing back warm memories of a part of the world that, as a young man, formed my perspective on what is important in life and that I have carried with me ever since. Even the pancake and jam brought back flashbacks. Safe Travels.

[@TwoMadExplorers]

A real adventure! Love this series

[@barbarachambers7974]

The best part of Karl Rock's series is he shows how dynamic and interesting it is. Some of the pathways are insane.

[@AbhishekSingh-vy3oj]

thank you bro by dropping these videos and showing the normal pakistani people you are decreasing gap between pakistani and indian people.

5:55 scary man, what an adventure...tough life of poor locals... Don't know how would they manage their emergencies and daily needs for that matter... Wish politicians be more sensitive towards needs of all. ❤ Good work Karl, Cheers to your Spirits!! 👍👏

[@asimjabbar8445]

Don't you worry. There isn't any lack of space for those people. They are living there in a remote secluded place by their choice/ancestral homes. The literacy rate of GB and Kashmir is very high, many of them have Govt jobs and their 2nd home in other cities of Pakistan like Islamabad for example. These 80 people are living in this remote mountainous area and it's very hard to provide them with modern infrastructure due to non existent population density, and the local topography also doesn't allow that too. I have lived for more than a month in Kashmir and have seen broken water supply lines due to soft mountainous land underneath the pipelines keep shifting/moving. There's already plenty of water through constant rains and countless natural springs. Where I lived there was electricity, road connections but roads required constant repairs due to soft soil and land sliding issues. It all depends upon the number of people. Few families living away from the rest of the world is entirely another issue.

[@beanbrew]

Thanks for sharing your adventures!

[@rabisahoo7681]

Happy to see you healthy and back in beautiful Baltistan. People allover are same human, only the situation makes them different.

[@ILikeBirds80]

Another fabulous video Karl. One of those unplanned events that leaves a lasting impression. I do wonder how they cope in wet season with all the water running thru like that.

[@alone-bb3hm]

Village is very beautiful

[@shantanu83]

Another amazing video Karl :) I think the sangam of the rivers that you talk about is actually the Shigar and the Indus rivers, which is near the organic village. The Shykok joining the Indus should probably be near a place called Keris.

[@moodwithfood5]

I wud say Karl has done very amazing job to share the beauty of Pakistan to the world❤

[@sourpotpie2000]

I could nap there all day long what a paradise...

[@khurramrasheed292]

[@riyasyed5583]

Thank you for introducing us to this beautiful location and amazing landscape the village looks so lovely i will visit this place one day inshaAllah ❤

[@juvenalsdad4175]

I really liked the music. The people from both sides of the LoC might have their similarities, and also differences, but I think they would both get on well with the folk from Appalachia.

[@omerthaika]

This place is incredible. So unique. Tks

[@the_game]

When you travel to isolated places like this Karl I can imagine that it's also important you bring new knowledge as you might be their only source of "news" for a long period of time. Do you get lots of questions about what's happening in the world nowadays?

[@aahan1]

I just came back from the last village on the Pakistani side called Frano. The next village on the Indian side is called Turtuk which less than 10 KM far from the LoC. The fort that you are climbing in the beginning of the video is called Kharphocho Fort. Khar means fort in the Balti language, like Phong Khar in Shigar valley, Thoksi Khar in Khaplu valley and so on. Shyok and Indus rivers' confluence is 40 KM outside the main Skardu city. The organic village was developed by the Aga Khan Development Network. Thanks a million for visiting our region of gilgit Baltistan. Lots of love from Gilgit to you and our Bhabhi.

[@bhadwamodi8294]

Turtuk was a Pakistani village and Indian army captured it in 1971 war.

[@hp8029]

@@bhadwamodi8294 yep my dad comes from that place, they all left to come to pakistan, a lot still stayed there though, now they have to put up with the indians

You are welcome.If you don't mind can i give you a suggestion postpone your trip for six months because you are coming in winters so its very cold here and zero greenery.if you want more info ask from Rosie Gabrielle a Canadian youtuber..

[@Supremeleaderkimjongun0]

Visit India when you can as well if ur in Pakistan near the subcontinent, anywhere from Himachal Pradesh and the snowy Himalayas in the north to Goa and Keralas beaches in the south is safe and sound for tourists .

[@charmaine8512]

I hope the people there realie they would be foolish to give up this pure life for the mad world we live in, in developed countries. Their way of life is in tune with how nature intended to be. Please folks enjoy your life in your piece of paradise. Hope smart phones and machinery never get there.

Thank you Karl. Loving your travels - always want something to eat after watching them 😀. Not sure about the Country and Western style music towards the end. Perhaps a bit of local music though.

[@Juanita-gf4te]

And cheese from the cows. My Indian inlaws made their own cheese and ghee from their own cows, and they kept a bull in a separate paddock was was brought to do his duty once a year, I liked the way the calves got to stay with their mothers until they were quite big and it was the mother cow who decided when to wean her babies. Unlike here in NZ where the calves are lucky to spend even one day with their mums. Poor babies and their distressed mothers.

So amazing. Thanks for sharing, Karl. Insane these stupid ‘lines of control’ governments invent. We are all one and the same.

[@nixtallas]

Indeed. It's something that not many people remember anymore but in 1948, Indian PM Nehru visited Pakistan for a meeting of the boundary commission and both sides , India and Pakistan, came very close to agreeing to make the Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh region as a 'condominium' , to be administered jointly as a free/autonomous zone. I wonder if they'd finally agreed to such an idea, how things might've turned out? All the citizens of India and Pakistan and the rest of South Asia, sitting together along the Indus river, sipping "chai" ❤

[@hp8029]

"Although Karl is trying hard to appease his Indian audience by (understandably so) by showing how this region is same as the other side, and military is everywhere, I am finding it quite opposite. This region seems to be as normal as it gets. Dare I say a bit to normal." just wanted to quote this comment because it really comes off like this, in previous comments I've already mentioned that my family is from skardu, and our country is pakistan. The area of gilgit baltistan and kashmir in pakistan are nothing like in india, there's barely any military presence let alone anything that affects the lives of the locals, it's true freedom as compared to the indian side. what we see their is active indian colonization and oppression on the lands of people, indians from central to south india come to kashmir to enroll into universities in kashmir because of scenery, they litter, they get drunk in their lands, and they attack kashmiris, it's awful, that's not even mentioning the military, governmental and police brutality in the region. I PRAY that they can have peace.

[@hp8029]

And I hope karl if you're reading this, you should ask the locals about what they think about being apart of the pakistani national state..just so your indian audience can get a little glimpse and light out of their delusional thinking
