You Won't Believe This is Pakistan!

This unbelievable 5-star mountain ski resort is in... Pakistan! It's the country's only ski resort, located in the once Taliban-occupied Swat Valley.
It has its own ski slope and many adventure sports like giant swing, slingshot, tubing, zip line, skiing, and snowboarding!
The Pearl Continental Hotel at Malam Jabba also has an interesting history, having been burnt down in 2008 during the Taliban's rule of this area. The Pakistan Army drove the Taliban out, and the hotel was rebuilt and opened in 2020.
The area is now considered safe, although there have been ongoing tensions between locals and the hotel. In January 2021, the owner of the Frontier Tower in Malam Jabba was arrested for hosting a dance party at the property. Some conservative locals consider dancing vulgar. Under Pakistan Penal Code Section 294, you can be charged for "annoying others by singing, dancing, or uttering obscene songs, ballads or words in a public place." So, if you go, remember that the Swat Valley is still very conservative.

During the blizzards this past winter in the passes at the base of the Himalayas people would comment that they had no clue that Northern India even got snow... I grew up in Northern India and I know better! Thank you for bringing awareness even in these little things to what Asia is. And btw, when I started my career I worked in medical conferencing and it was all five-star hotels and an all honesty I hated it. People came back from the conference they got in the elevator they went upstairs and the next morning if I asked him how their day has been they would tell me that they're HBO was out. I refused to travel that way in my personal life. 10 years ago I was a KZbinr and in my vlogs I showed what it's like to immerse yourself in culture. It was at the beginning of the hashtag era and hotel chains like Sheraton and Windham would send proposals to me of all that I could gain free nights yada yada yada if I would just hashtag their hotel. I would write them back that they obviously had never seen my channel! Yes, 4 and 5 Star hotels can be an all-inclusive blight... But especially in an area that doesn't previously have small guest houses the one good thing I can say about these resorts is usually, usually, they have an infrastructure set up to remove and properly discard of their refuse the plumbing waste etc. Unfortunately I have seen resorts go up especially in beach resorts and debris is not taking care of. Four and five star hotels don't need bad publicity and they tend to work towards sustainability.

EDIT I totally forgot to mention the Mumbai terrorist attacks. I had stayed at the Mumbai Taj multiple times before the attack and I cried watching it in the news the same that I cried being blocks away from the towers during the September the 11th attacks on New York city. Mumbai is a bustling crazy city but the people are genuine and wonderful and I cried because I wonder how many workers got trapped inside. The hotel did everything they could not to cover it up but to bring things back to normal and show the terrorist would not win. Everyone reading this, please explore Pakistan and India and any cultural area you have not traveled before. Not only do you receive quite the education but in bringing money to tourism you give the locals another way to make an honest living. Peace!

I guess the risky part is that it's just not so easy to find a place where shit doesn't go to an open ditch behind the building, you don't get sick from eating at a restaurant, and it takes some stomach to get used to garbage being everywhere (for example around 2 minute mark in this video, eggshells and other stuff thrown all around). On top of it the touristic enclaves are super expensive even for average foreigner. For example I couldn't pay 200+ a night just to make sure there's plumbing in a hotel, when you get that for 50-100 in Europe. Stars don't mean much hen hygiene standards are so different. India is on my list but there's too much to go wrong...

They like Jacinda Ardern for how she handled the Christchurch attack. She’s very famous in Pakistan. So they seem to quite like Kiwis too.

@@KarlRock that is true, but then cricket fans became sour towards NZ after the cricket team left Pakistan without any real explanation. We are a crazy cricket nation so there was a bit of bitterness there but then a few months later pak beat NZ in the t20 world cup and then the cricket fans were satisfied with that "payback" hahah...we haven't played NZ again since then but i hope thats laid to rest and we can go back to supporting our countries.
