I Went on a Road Trip in Northern Pakistan (Crossing the Shandur Pass)

Рет қаралды 100,831

Күн бұрын

In the second and final part of my ‘road to Chitral’ series, I navigate the lesser-known roads of Pakistan, challenging assumptions and showing the true beauty of this incredible country. From unexpected hurdles to breathtaking landscapes, this was so much more than just a road trip.
The video will take you through Phander, crossing the Shandur pass, onto Mastuj, and lastly, towards the final destination Chitral.
🛣️ Journey Highlights:
* Phander: a hidden gem between Gilgit and Chitral. Great for hiking, as it offers immense natural beauty.
* Shandur Pass: brace yourself for the raw, untamed beauty of the Shandur Pass as I traverse its winding roads.
* Chitral: experience the city marked as a 'red zone' by the Dutch government. Contrary to the warnings, this might be the most hospitable place I’ve visited in Pakistan!
* Unexpected Twists: from road blockages to tricky police checks, I share the unfiltered realities of road tripping in Pakistan.
* Pakistan is Not What you Think: I reveal the truths beyond the warnings.
Thank you, your support means the world.💛

Where the landscapes are so majestic, even the mountains might be getting altitude envy! But for real, Pakistan is one of those countries I am wishing my travel dart would land because it looks like a real-life adventure novel - from the stunning valleys of Hunza to the azure lakes of Skardu, every step feels like a chapter in the epic tale of Pakistan's breathtaking north.
