Pakistan | Cholistan Jeep Rally at Nadir Magsi Camp

Come experience the beauty and excitement of the 2021 Cholistan Desert Jeep Rally. I spent five nights sleeping in a wonderful glamping-style tent village hosted by Amir and Nadir Magsi. There was hot running water, western toilets, heaters in our tents, chefs who prepared delightful meals, and a nightly bonfire chat. In this vlog, catch Sunday's races, including the pro and women's class. Take a heart-pounding ride with me and Nadir Magsi in his race vehicle. And listen to a few mini-interviews with some of Pakistan's top rally drivers and navigators. During the prize ceremony, I was also given the honour of passing out the trophies and cash prizes to the women. As you'll guess by the fact I was wearing trainers with my dress, this wasn't something I knew in advance haha

Watch a 22-minute behind-the-scenes video of the official Driver's Meeting from the 2021 Cholistan Desert Rally: / 253225792981350
This annual race is the country's largest motorsports event and a tremendously good time! It's free of charge, making it accessible for everyone. And it leaves the body and soul recharged from much-needed time spent connected to nature, deep in the pretty Cholistan desert.
I'd like to give special thanks to the Pakistan Tourism Development Corporation (PTDC), Bahalwapur DC Muzaffar Sial, and the team at Tourism Development Corporation of Punjab (TDCP) for approving my request to attend. I loved every minute of it!

This is the one more unique Attraction you’ve seen in Pakistan. You met top racing drivers in the world. Nadir Magsi and Sulatan are the best so far but every year new participants are joining this sport. None the less brave female drivers are also picking up trophies. Thanks for showing positive image of my country to the world.

[@AngelaCarson]

Yes, being in the camp with all of them felt like hanging out with my brothers each day, which made this personally a very unique experience as well as the event itself. And the women are why I chose to come in the first place, to see them. It was very inspiring.

Hi Angela, Great vlog, I feel like you are unfairly assuming that the North has been well documented. We don’t know about what’s not been documented there is so much to see in the North and the KPK province which is yet to be seen. Just go there and see how the adventure unfolds, maybe you will give us a deeper look into the area. Go even if it’s been documented sometimes when you see it from a different perspective you see new things. Stay blessed, love from Canada

[@AngelaCarson]

The North is beautiful, it's just that quite literally every single visitor to Pakistan goes there. And there is so much more to Pakistan's tourism offering than that ... If I can make it up for the hotel reviews I will go because documenting luxury travel is my purpose here above all else. But I love my current focus of sharing lesser known destinations and landmarks :-)
