Who's been to north Pakistan? Is Skardu your favorite?

What a beautiful country😍😍 love from Iraq to great Pakistan 🇮🇶❤

The Upper Kachura Lake inside of those mountains looks like a beautiful gemstone inside of rough setting. Very beautiful place made by Mother Nature.

Pakistan land of ❤️ ❤️ love from🇹🇷

I’m going to Pakistan next month. Either thinking Skardu or swat Edit : I’m going to Skardu because I don’t have to take a 6-7 hour bus ride & can fly right into Skardu. All the hotels and major sights are close to the airport too. Inshallah next time I’ll go to swat & Hunza

Just insane amounts of Beauty...!!! Probably, the heaven on Earth...!!!Love and support from Bangladesh 🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩..Inn Sha Allah one day the beauty will be revealed by the whole world as Pakistan Deserve... Inn Sha Allah I will visit Pakistan... Hope for good...!!!Drakness cannot drive Out darkness only light can do that... Hate cannot drive Out hate only love can do that..We just should accept the truth not the false media propaganda... 😊😊😊🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩

WELCOME to the land of hospitality, Pakistan🇵🇰

What a beautiful place.Litrally heaven on earth.Beauty of Sakardu is unique, thanks for showing us.

I am a big fan of your videos but you're a bit wrong about why it's called ShangriLa 3:30. It has nothing to do with China as it was constructed in 1983 back when China's own economy was nowhere near where it is now. It was named Shangrila after the fictional place having the same name in James Hilton's book Lost Horizon which was published in 1933, also the Shangrila mentioned in the book was inspired by Hunza Valley and Skardu, it is solely owned by Pakistanis and has nothing to do with China. Thanks for the content, keep it coming.

Wow this took my took my breath away the most beautiful place on earth 💖 Pakistan 🇵🇰 im in love 😋🤩 I love nature, and I love being in nature. Mountains, greenery and some form of water is to me often a slice of paradise.Love your honest review about the hotel that's horrible I don't understand how people let their kids out if I was I would have speak to the family. 😞 God bless Pakistan 🇵🇰 God you all.pakistan zindabad❤

Thank you Bro Alex for the info in videos. Terimakasih. Skardu looks so amazing and peaceful. The unique airport and wonderful views. Take care always with sis Kintania. High five from Indonesia. 🇮🇩🤗

Wow, it's an eye opener. Didn't know Pakistan can be so beautiful. Thanks Alex, really enjoy this one, of cos the others as well 😉

I like and love camera man 💚 Beautiful pakistan🇵🇰 from 🇮🇳

This region has one of the highest mountains in the World!

Beautiful mountain ranges and stunning clear lakes. I could live there. Oh and Pakistani hospitality is unparalleled. Part of our culture and faith. One treats guests like family. I live in the UK and really want to visit one day

PAKISTAN IS ONE OF THOSE PLACES THAT IM INTERESTED TO VISIT. IM SURE THERE'S MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE,

Pakistani people are loving, caring & hospitable.

Sendin love to my Pakistani brother from Algeria I came from an insta video about prayers in skardu 🇵🇰🇩🇿✨😍

Fashion is temporary, but nature never goes out of style.💯 Stay Safe And Stay Blessed Alexander ❤️ Pakistan Zindabad 🇵🇰💚. Pak Army Zindabad 🇵🇰💚...

i really like the way you honestly say every truth about the hotel in the end, we Pakistanis should realize our bad things too. its not good to always expect good reviews about our country.

Enjoy the day ❤️ With our beautiful country 🇵🇰

Really liked your hotel review. So many bloggers always just smile and say "this is the best day ever" over and over. I like your real honesty. I started watching you from the Turkey trip (will go there when allowed from South Korea). I liked your brutal review of that salt-pool area!

3:26 actually back in 60s or 70s an airplane crashed landed here and onboard there was a Pakistani military officer who was so mesmerized by the beauty of area that he compared it with Shangri-la. Well when he retired he gathered some investors and established Shangri-la resorts. And this was done when China was still a very poor country. But yes, Pakistan and China shares a very close relationship. Edit : 4:07 this is the same plane.

I agree on the hotel part , whenever we go to the north we usually take half day from hotel to hotel to decide which one would be comfortable enough

Shangrila name is based on the novel, lost horizon, by james hilton. The everlasring tranquility found in hunza valley. It has nothing to do with chinese investment I was watching a documentary on youtube " pakistans himalayas mysteries of shangri_la utopia" by david adams. The shangrilla was ultimately considered as hunza valley. Anyways, on his trip he went to gilgit, the shandur top, which is the highest polo ground in the world. In his video, he noted that the name "polo" was given by the locals as it means " ball" in local language and it was from here, the british took the game to the west... Thus the iconic jlc reverso watch history originated from gligit of british india, present day pakistan A quirky bit of info for the watch enthusiasts.

Amazing mountains, flying over those peaks and close would likely scare me a bit. Lol Too bad the hotel was a bit noisy but your drone view was wicked cool.

Reminds me of my visit to the northern areas came in 2015 .pakistan is a beautiful place well under rated. Take a visit to islamabad its a beautiful city

The beautiful scenery of the land of Skardu, the snow-capped mountains, the swaying fields, the flowing streams like milk, and the locals are always ready to welcome and welcome their tourists. Thank you for Explore Skardu Baltistan 🇵🇰

Ok so I can understand your concern about the kids running through the halls and the parents staying up late and talking. It’s a very common thing for families to enjoy the late night views of the city because if I’m being honest the views are absolutely breathtaking in the middle of the night. I kid you not you can see a billion Stars in the sky and sometimes even the northern lights. So in local Pakistani tourists actually know about this and stay up late to watch those views. Other than that, families like to take grandparents and sometimes aunts and uncles with them on trips which can explain the huge family and 3 cars. In these situations, I can tell you that this is again super normal for locals of the country. When families unite, we talk for hours on politics, sports, religion and so much more and yes it gets very loud. the kids talk about their own stuff or either play with each other. Unless your family lives fairly close to you, busy lives make it hard for families to see each other quite often and when they do the dinner which was supposed to end at 10 ends at either 3 or 5 in the morning. I guess foreigners are not used to this but Pakistanis have adapted to this lifestyle. And a tip: if it really bothers you, don’t go to the staff, they already have long shifts and really won’t bother THAT much but will do their best. Instead go the the family that’s making the noise directly and talk to them and tell them to keep their voice down politely. They won’t mind instead they will keep the noise down as much as possible. Hope this helps. From a Pakistani

This is my beautiful hometown ❤. I am in America and missing my darling Skardu soo very much. Thank you for visiting us!

You did a great job adding Urdu subtitles to the video

Thanks for your great clip's, can't wait to return to Pakistan again, I need to visit more northern parts of Pakistan, I love the beauty, the kindness of the people, wonderful

I love the smile on his face .......thanks for showing our country in a good way ...we are not bad but the media has made us

Someone wisely said "beauty is in the eye of the beholder". Your vlogs are perfect example of that. This is real Pakistan.

Thank You brother for showing the real face of my beloved country ..

For someone who loves mountains, this place was incredible for me. Had such an amazing grip here.

Watching from Skardu😊

Amazing Pakistan Love from Ireland🇮🇪🍀.

Welcome to the land of peace I love my hometown Skardu

Nice gesture by young man who paid for you fish... hospitality at its best.

No, it's not owned by China. Loved the vlog!

Most underrated country. It's amazing 🥀

Actually there is no concept of quite hours in Pakistan. When people are staying in hotels, they are in vacation & party mode, so don't expect any quite nights 😉

it is heaven on earth wow thank you so much bro for showing us . from Singapore

Very beautiful great country pakistan 🇵🇰♥️

Soon they going to built airport and fve star hotel there....maybe come back then 🤩 thankyou for the video

Pakistan is a Land of Hospitality and beauty of nature

Hey. I'm from Pakistan and I literally watched your entire visiting Pakistan series. I've been to Skardu and it's honestly a GREAT place.

You couldn't sleep for two nights because of the unnecessary noise of the children. As a Pakistani, I feel very ashamed of this. Why didn't you complain to the hotel management during the day?

Finally

Thts so Coool😍. The locals, views, culture, scenery, hospitality.. Everythingz great❤️ Just need of a bit more facilities... N Pakistan will be up for proper Tourism... Looking Forward to More Pakistani Vlogs frm ur side🤩🤩

Pakisatn is a beautiful country with beautiful people. Alot of love from south korea.

I am from Pakistan this is very pleasure for us that foreigners visiting to Pakistan thank you so much

Wowww!! This is wholesome, I wish I could visit this place someday♥️

Wooooow incredible drone shots and beautiful skardu 🤞

I've stayed at this Shangri La hotel with friends! Such great times and memories. Hopefully will come back again to Skardu

thank you for showing the world how beautiful our country is, idk why many people dont think it is ;=;

Keep being humble Alex. People love u bcs you have good attitude. You are down to earth and not entitled.

❤ from skardu

wow very insightful tour, definitely a bucket list

Skardu is a beautiful place!! Half of my family lives there! I visited only 2 times but.... the last time I went there was literally amazing! !! Deosai, shangrila and a lot more are the beautiful places of skardu

China partnered in developing the incredible KKH and investing a lot under CPEC but this resort developed much before Chinese by a private entrepreneur from Rawalpindi and adjacent areas by local people. .

Due to unknown reasons I love 💘 Pakistan 🇵🇰 ♥ ❤ 😍 from Afghanistan

Oh i love Skardu!!! Infact the entire Northern Pakistan. Neelum river in kashmir has unbelievable emerald blue colors!!!!! And its so crystal clear! No video can do justice to the reality !! We had a road trip from Skardu to Gilgit and oh my God what a journey that was!! The mighty Indus along , steeep below and the roar of water !!!! Shangrila and sadpara lakes and little streams of crystal clear water!!! And what i remem the most is moonlight shining on glacier top from our window which was pretty scaryyyy but y3ah magical!!

Nice to see your blog...i had asked you to boating at upper kachura lake but u didn't....you are exploring the mesmerizing dioramas of upper kachura lake..well appreciated👏

The standards of these hotels were impeccable when tourism was high. After 9/11 and the war on terror, Pakistan had no tourists whatsoever and it not only effected the locals income, but the standards of hotels and the staff went down the drain. There was no money being put into updating them as there no point and also no one picked it as a career since there were no tourists. Not even local Pakistani tourists came as pakistan became a very dangerous place with terrorist groups attacking the state. Only in the past few years has tourism slowly returned, I'm hoping that once it is established they use the money generated into updating the hotels and more trained professionals enter the travel and tourism sector.

Wow incredible views

Thank you for visiting & exploring our beautiful country Pakistan. Love & Respect for you.

Thanks for this wonderful video n thanks for showing Skardu, Pakistan, what a beautiful place, lovely n mesmerizing.

Such a lovely and peaceful place

Skardu is very beautiful sweet dreams place in pakistan and your video of very nice and ViP style.💟

Hey Alex, welcome to Pakistan Brother. this is the country where I was born. you really are doing justice with your videos showing the hospitality of my people. enjoy your stay and if you need any sort of recommendation or advice. please let me while you are there. welcome to your girl as well. cheers mate!

Wow heaven on earth. Miss you Pakistan. Inshallah will travel next year and visit this place ❤️👌

Very warm welcome to Pakistan 🇵🇰 ❣💗🥰💯

If you're visiting Pakistan northern areas then you should must visit Fairy meadows, Naltar valley, Mahodand Lake, Katora lake, Shazore lake, shahi Bagh, ushu forest, kumrat valley, Kund Banda, babusar top, Khunjrab pass, & Dojanga ♥️ I can bet you! You've never seen such beautiful places before this! Pakistan is the country of natural beauty!.

The resort Shangri-La is named after a fictional place described in the 1933 novel Lost Horizon by British author James Hilton. It was build in 1960 well before start of Pakistan China friendship.

Thanks buddy for exploring my beautiful country ❤

Love from Adeel Karachi Pakistan.God bless you and your family

absolutely correct about all the hotel issues that you mentioned at the end of the video, but beggars can't be choosers. You pay a cheap price for a cheap hotel and you get what you pay for. I have been to skardu couple of times and have stayed in a couple of really nice hotels. that's actually one of my favorite things when im traveling is to stay in a good and nice hotel. So you can't really complain much about the hotel being bad in general when you paid little to no money for the rooms. like I said, you get what you pay for

I’m Glad i found such a decent blogger on KZfaq Love you Bro Love from Pakistan. Stay Safe And blessed ♥️

Thank you for visiting my country and will welcome you again and again with immense hospitality:)

Will you visit Pakistan again? I request you to come again and explore some more because I saw you explored "Karachi" and the cities very little!!

mesti sejuk kawasan ni

Belle experience et surtout tres beaux endroits a visiter , chaque region est differente et belle et le peuple accueillant J ai la nostalgie pour mon beau pays Continuez vos découvertes et vous ne serez pas déçu Bravo

Skardu, along with Gilgit, is a major tourism, trekking and expedition hub in Gilgit-Baltistan. The mountainous terrain of the region, which includes four of the world's 14 Eight-thousander peaks, attracts tourists, trekkers and mountaineers from around the world.
