In this video we take a taxi from Faizal Mosque to the Monal restaurant in Islamabad Pakistan 🇵🇰
I try some of the delicious food, meat some friendly Pakistani people, and then unfortunately I struggled to get a taxi back down the hill for a reasonable price. Luckily I met some kind Pakistanis who offered me a lift and helped me get home.

Hey 👋 if you haven’t already please subscribe to my Facebook page at facebook.com/unplannedphilbland FYI I changed the title of this video so some of the comments below re the word scam are referring to the previous title which was ‘Avoid This Taxi Scam in Pakistan 🇵🇰’ because of my struggle to get a taxi at the end of the night. Changed it now so all is well. the name of this video from previous video

People need to calm down! I have been visiting Pakistan for years and my sister lives there! She went shopping and inside a supermarket she asked for the price of an item and because they thought she was a ‘foreigner’ the woman said the price was 300 rupees but charge her 500! They didn’t realise she spoke the language! So it is a FACT you do sometimes get scammed! So leave Phil alone as he has done nothing but promote Pakistan in a positive light! There is good and bad in every country! Keep the videos coming ​😊🌟

@@philbland You can't really blame them fuel is almost rs300 / 1$ here & everything is expensive asf maintenance, eatery & everything. Worth mentioning car consumes more fuel when going up the mountains. Even if you'd have taken Uber/Careem they' wouldn't of have had taken you on a ride to Monal they make private deals because we don't get a ride back from there nor does internet work up there.

Kotli Kalan is a village in Pabbi Tehsil of Nowshera District of Khyber Pukhtunkhwa. Go there and you will be looked after well.
