Pakistan’s Most Exciting Flight - Flying Over “Roof of the World”

I flew to Skardu in the north of Pakistan. This is one of the most scenic and exciting flights in the country. Captain Majid from PIA gave a quick briefing on the ATR-42-500 flight. Soon after takeoff from Islamabad, the plane flew directly over the mountains in the north of Pakistan.
It was a clear winter day of flying. The passengers are treated to a ‘one of a kind’ experience - a sky dance of the Karakoram and Hindu Kush ranges which include some of the highest peaks in the world. You can see Nanga Parbat (8,125m), Rakaposhi (7,788m), and above all, the spectacular K-2 (the second highest peak in the world) towering above all others at 8,611 meters.
The approach into Skardu was very tricky and no turning back once past the “decision point”. Pilot need to perform a “Z” shaped bend called a Zulu Bend, flying between a few mountain peaks before the Skardu valley appears.
After landing, I was given a quick tour as far as the Shangrila resort in Skardu. Check out the scenery and environment of Skardu. It is a hidden gem and has huge potential for tourism. Skardu airport has recently been upgraded to an international airport status. They’re constructing a new 6km runway. I flew PIA A320 on my way back. We flew past all the tall mountains with a clear view from the cockpit. It is truly the Air Safari.

These must be the finest pilots of the world who fly into and out of this airport. Thanks Sam, much love from Uganda 🇺🇬

Indeed they are as a proud Pakistani American who was born there did u know Pakistan airlines was world Renowned for having some of the finest most skilled pilots in the world also do u know that emirates was started by Pakistan airlines . They had leased one aircraft and the whole initial pilot and engineering team was trained and launched by Pia professionals. Pakistan airlines is also known to train and provide technical training.

I was there in 1978. Flew in on a Fokker F27 Friendship. The mountains are magnificent. The contrast between the green growing areas and the desert and the rocks is dramatic. The people are marvelous. The polo match I watched was pretty fierce, though. :-) High altitude, low humidity, and low light pollution made the view of the stars at night astonishing and awe-inspiring. It was the first time I had ever seen the Milky Way. The weather over the mountains turned bad for a few days, and the flights out were cancelled. Once the weather cleared, the military sent in a couple of C-130s to clear the backlog. Crowded with people and freight and even some small livestock, that was not nearly so pleasant a flight, but it got the job done. This video brought back many fond memories. Thank you.

This is one of the best, if not the best flight videos I’ve seen. I’ve watched it twice imagining the skill of pilots especially going all VFR through the mountains. The hospitality was great as well and the beauty is breath taking.

@@muhammadadilkhan281 ---- Pakistan needs to relax its blasphemy laws. It is not polite to insult ANYONE'S religion or belief, whoever they are, but it is not right to attack or kill people if they do it, or are falsely accused of doing it, as happens sometimes in Pakistan. This is one reason why Western News-Media criticizes Pakistan. Any religion should be able to take some fair criticism, be it Christianity, Islam, Bhuddism, Hinduism, or Judaism. No religion is perfect, and all can improve in certain ways. Christianity treated Native / Indigenous People in my country of Canada very badly for 150 years, and now many people in Canada are unhappy and angry at the Christian Churches, even if they are Christians themselves. Some people believe in agnoticism or atheism, and they should be respected too.

[@muhammadadilkhan281]

There are 95% muslims living in Pakistan and Islam is a complete religion. Islam is a peaceful religion and yes I agree with you. There are some people who misrepresent Islam for their purposes and this makes the country and religion a bad thing, and Pakistan will make them a quick lesson

Sam this is one of your best videos so far. Rather than just giving a review on the service (which everyone is doing these days), you went right to where all the action is - the cockpit. Good on you!
