Good morning guys, and welcome back to another video here in Pakistan
specifically in Hunza but it's actually the last video up here which is very sad.
The tours with the Posh brothers are going to be ending today. So we got them
both in there and then we got Harry Jaggard, the British legend in the back.
We’re actually just on the road trip back and we're about 45 minutes in as
you can see here, the viewpoints are surreal here. Welcome to Pasu and you can
see all of the mountains in here. You literally feel like you're in a postcard
at the moment like I swear this is like you look on, you're like is this even
real right now. You got Harry catching scenies fresh in
the morning. That's how you know it's good views. Oh
yeah, baby.
Alright, guys we just made it back into downtown Hunza and this is gonna be
one of our last meals we have in the northern part of Pakistan. I think we're
gonna have some chai, some paratha. As you can see, I think the guys over there are
making some of them fresh. So let's see where the boys which way are we going in
here. Alright, so this is where we're gonna be eating.
So this is chow central over here yeah. This is where we get the good stuff. We
have chai, paratha, and toast. What you want? Perfect, okay. Let’s do it.
Alright, guys we're getting some fresh paratha bread being made. Let's see if we
can get a little sneak peek. So, this is where the fresh paratha bread's made. Can
I get a sneak peek? Trying to see if we can see a sneak peek of the parathas
being made. Alright, that's gonna be delicious. Salaam Alaikum [Peace be upon you]
Alright, we're gonna be chowing on that mixed with some eggs here and that'll
get us going in this brisk cold morning here in the Hunza Valley area. Oh
we're cooking one on top of the other now too,
Got a full line. Everyone's getting their morning parathas today. Well. bit of a
line guys so as soon as the parathas are ready we'll give you a proper tasting
here soon. Oh yeah, little paratha.
This thing is fresh off the press guys I tell you, any hotter I would probably
lose my fingers. Alright, let's flip that thing over,
sandwich her and without further ado, let's see how this thing tastes.
Woah, she is a squirter.
All over.
Guys literally, I’m getting sad thinking about leaving Pakistan knowing I’m not
gonna be able to have paratha bread anymore. It's so freaking good. I can't
get over how good this is like the oils mixed in with the eggs, it just gives it
like this whole new level of breakfast taste.
We’ve got some fresh chai here. Oh there we go. Look at that pour on there.
Oh, not very good. Let's see if I can do this one. Oh thank you. It's a pleasure.
That’s an Akram pour right there. You see that.
You know why it's just not loading. I’ll- I’ll keep trying.
See that Akram pour right there bro.
Oh that one's got a little spray on it. Thank you, it's a pleasure.
Time for some chai. Is this karak [Strong] chai? Oh the strong stuff to get us going.
Oh much needed guys, I’ve been pretty tired this morning. We've actually already been
up for like two hours but we're probably only like three minutes into the video
because I was half asleep and now we'll be ready because we've got what 12
hours to get us back? Yes. if we don't get the protocol.
Oh yeah but we're taking a different route, so Insha-Allah [God willing] we won't have a
police escort, 19 separate cars for the next 15 hours. So it'll probably be 12
hours then. Muhammad, it's good to see you again. How
are you? So we're going on the adventures again today. Yeah. Yeah, Insha-Allah [God willing] not 19
police cars, yeah. I hope so, yeah. I hope so, yeah we're
going a different route though. Yeah. Yeah, yeah because we're not going back to the
Swat area. We're going, we will go around from Mansehra. Okay, so skipping
the dams. We'll try to skip it. Yeah perfect, perfect. Alright, guys you heard
it. You'll have to stay tuned to see what happens. How much is it?
560 sir. Alright, shobash [Thank you], keep the change. Allah hafiz [Goodbye].
Alright, guys that meal came out to about 500
and just a little bit after that so maybe three US dollars and of course
hooked our guy up with a little tip as well because he made those parathas
delicious. What'd you think of that meal bro?
Horrible, I’m joking. Very, very nice. Hit the spot. The lads got jokes today. It's
about there right now and yeah really nice and giving me some energy for a
very, very long car journey. Very long, yeah. At this point guys, we won't even make it if
we have no stops with the police until like almost midnight. So we shall
see what happens. Okay guys. Okay guys, let's go. Brother, it's been a great time.
Thank you for everything. Insha-Allah [God willing], we'll see you next, next summer yeah. Yeah, yeah
sure. Thank you very much for everything. Yeah thank you.
And yeah, see you soon. I’ll see you soon. Yes, thank you brother. Alright, take care.
Guys we're back with Muhammad and we're
cruising through the southern part of Hunza and actually the nice part is this
is all going to be almost like a brand new drive even though this exact portion
of the route we took on our way up because it was pitch black when we drove.
Geez, already like four, five, six days ago but as you can see here,
more villages, more valleys and more towering mountains in the distance here.
So guys, we just stopped downtown here in the Rakaposhi viewpoint which sounds
like a little bit like New Zealand type names. Oh yeah, the zip line would have
been fun, second longest zip line in Pakistan.
That’s too bad we don't have more time. Yeah.
And here is the official viewpoint guys.
We’ve got I love Pakistan there. We've got some non-snow-covered mountains here,
and then some snow covered further in the distance
very, very beautiful. As I’ve said a million times in the Hunza series but
for good reason as you can see. We've got locals coming in fast. Hello, good to see
you. Aap kaise hain? [How are you?].
Theek hai [Good]. Perfect, perfect. And on the other side here,
we've got some views down into the river, a little bridge running across and this
looks like it'd be a great place to also come in the summer. You know we already
mentioned the zipline activities, there's markets, shops, restaurants right there.
Obviously, we already had some chow this morning so we don't need any but yeah
quite a few things to do in this area. Definitely we'll have to add this to the
things I’ll be doing the next time I’m in the Hunza Valley, Insha-Allah [God willing] next
summer. Alright, and here we go guys. We’re gonna continue on our track.
See the board over there. Wow. So guys right there that zigzag up
on the mountain, that's the old silk road back in the day before there's- Oh you
have the sign for old silk road known as Kinu Kutto. Right.
Kinu Kutto. And
go wraps all the way into the mountains. How long is that road like hundreds of
kilometers? Yeah it starts from
down there. I will show you for-
because the Hunza people were traveling on the this road
before this KKH [Karakoram Highway]. Wow.
As we're entering through dog central, there's literally stray dogs everywhere.
I pulled my camera out a couple minutes late but like there was probably like 25
of them in the street.
As you guys can see, we just got out of the car here. We're over here at the
three junction points, a place that you can see
basically three different mountain ranges in this area, and we have the
river flowing through us, that same river you've probably been seeing. I’m pretty
sure, it's the same one at least. And yeah it's like this place is very well
organized in terms of multiple viewpoints. You can like take the pathway
all the way down, go from one viewpoint to the other viewpoint. I would assume
that one way down there probably gives you the best
river views there. And then way out in the distance you can see
the bridge connecting so really a beautiful spot here we got the Pakistan
flag waving there. Pakistan Zindabad [Long live Pakistan] baby Let’s go, let's go.
And this is the spot. So the nice part is along this
drive on the way back there are many places to stop off and honestly just
looking out the window the whole time is is quite an enjoyable experience because
the landscapes are just continuously changing and are so beautiful. So
let's head on back to the car and keep on going. I love the colorful trucks you
guys have seen in all the videos. They're all decorated so nicely every single one
of them, every single one but before we go back in the car guys, we
are gonna do one quick trip up to the top here which is apparently the best
viewpoint. Makes sense why they have a big statue here. Oh yeah,
now we can see more views of the river because we're a bit higher up. We've got
the Pakistan flag and now better view. We’ve got the boys down there hanging
out. How we doing? And here we go.
Stunning, stunning, stunning. The hair man. Hello sire.
Hello.
That’s a British in the wild right there guys. British in the wild.
Guys we're coming up on the most important phrase we've learned on this
entire trip. What is it boys? Pakistan Zindabad [Long live Pakistan].
And here we are.
I don't know if you guys can see it there but it's way in the distance on
this mountaintop, you can see that's probably gotta be like four or five
kilometers from here, maybe three roughly.
This right here guys is a free hot spring for the car wash. So
these guys just pulled up. We've got a nice hot spring. Come on. Assalamu Alaikum [Peace be upon you]
The car's looking good, very nice. Hey, you guys can see up there
it's steaming up top and you can smell a little bit of the sulfur
too. and this is the- the dangerous
passageway right? Yes. The bumpy road,
a lot of stray dogs over here I’ve noticed too quite a few.
Obviously like if you guys saw the earlier videos, we drove through this
area in the middle of the night. So it's a very beautiful area but you can now
see why it's known as a dangerous area, just
kinda the land formations and the complexities of how they're put together,
just seems like it's like dried up mud so a little bit of rain.
You can imagine how this wall just comes tumbling down here and there and
unexpectedly. And of course because there's the hot
springs, the geothermic activity happening down there
but definitely gives you a bit of a thrill riding through this area because
you never know when a boulder is coming down.
Although, it hasn't rained recently. So I don't think we should be too worried,
knock on wood.
You guys can see that one right up there, that big crack and I was just waiting
for the next rainfall to come tumbling down.
You can just see how loose it is at least from this angle looks quite loose.
If that thing fell there'd be nowhere to go, road gets a little tight over here.
Guys fast forward a couple hours here, and we don't have a police escort but
we do have a bit of a line here and it's unclear.
Landslide. Yeah, they are working on the roadside, you know. Oh so they probably
blew this one. Yeah. Yeah so, they've- today they're
got the dynamite out blowing some new areas up here to clear out the paths
which means take some time to clear off the roads. Seems like with the amount of
cars here and locals hanging out outside, they've been here for
quite a bit of time now. And guys, it's gonna be a late one
from where we're at right now excluding stops 9 hours and 15 minutes away.
Here’s the views we've got though. There’s definitely worse places to be
stuck. Well, we got quite the drop off right here,
one false step we're going swimming for the day. As you can see, we've got one, two,
three, four, five, six probably I’d say almost 20-something cars
built up in this area. Salaam Alaikum [Peace be upon you] Nice people out here. Salaam Alaikum [Peace be upon you].
And quite beautiful though guys. I will say if there's anywhere to be stuck
this is the place because you'll never get tired of these
views out here but it doesn't even seem like they're moving up there. I’m looking
at basically the buildup right over there and it just seems like the cranes
parked there. Oh that's probably because way down there, they must have the timber
on the road. I think I see like if you can see way in the back there. Well, we'll
update you guys with how long it actually took.
Aap ka naam kya hai? [What is your name?].
Muhammad zaid nice to meet you.
Perfect. Theek hai [Good] Salaam Alaikum [Peace be upon you]
Aap ka naam kya hai? [What's your name?]
Shams ur Rehman.
Shams ur Rehman, that's a good name.
Pic? Yeah, yeah. Let's do a pic.
The truck driver got in too.
There it is. Theek hai [Good] Shukriya [Thank you]
Shukriya [Thank you] Nice to meet you.
Meeting locals.
The hair man's missing out. We're meeting locals bro, you're missing out. We're out
here meeting locals. Yeah. Yeah, we're just doing a photo session. Oh now everyone's
running to their cars. That's a good sign. They just moved everything. That's how
you know it's clearing. Everyone's running in. So we gotta hop in
real quick because people are gonna start honking because
they've been waiting a while. So that's why you gotta run to your car. You don't
wanna be the one holding everyone up. And now it's gonna be a race. I bet these
cars are gonna be flooring it past each other.
This is part of the adventure though. I was wondering what it was gonna be like
to be stopped from whether it was a natural landslide or a man-made
landslide which it looks like today's the man-made landslide day based on what
the guys have been telling us. And now with the race to the finish line
guys, the 9 hours and 15 minutes clock starts now.
Looks like this bus has had some better days. I can't tell if it got hit by the
landslide or if it had a pop tire and the rocks were surrounding it.
This is definitely landslide area though. Oh there's a pretty fresh landslide
right here. It wouldn't be fun to fall on the car.
Yeah, you saw that. I was like whoa, he's moving some serious weight on the
back of that bike. Mines. Mines? They don't like video.
Who? Oh these people? Yes. Oh so they didn't like that we were filming.
Apparently, we're not supposed to film in this area bro. Oh really.
They don't like videos guys. That last village we were at, they didn't like us
filming so we just drove another 30 minutes or so and apparently this is one
of the best spots for photography over here, and it looks quite beautiful. Wow,
got running water down there. It's pretty luscious green in terms of the
landscapes over there, and up on the other side, we've got very steep
mountains over there. Stunning.
Time for a little chai break bro. What do you think, chai break?
I think Akram's getting a little tired. You know we wore them out
after seven days. I’m not doing as much filming on the way back guys because if
you missed the video on the way up here, we filmed a lot of the landscapes here.
And as you can see behind me, it's already gotten pretty dark. We still have
about seven hours roughly of driving so we'll probably arrive at this point
maybe like 1 a.m. It’s gonna be a late one. What do you
think bro? I’ve been getting like 10 minute naps in here and there so very
broken sleep. Oh so it's going by fast for you then. Well yeah, ish.
I thought we were more than halfway though and we're not. We’re not even close
bro. Actually we're close to halfway. Yeah? Yeah, yeah from like where we left this
morning which was like northern
which was like an hour north of like the Hunza Valley central area. So now
we're getting a quick little karhak [Strong] chai. Strong chai ready to drink,
and keep us going a bit longer. That is fresh karak [Strong] chai ready to be. I wonder
how many chais we drank on this trip probably
five per day times 20 days by now.
Probably over a hundred chais. That's a lot of chai.
Shukriya [Thank you]
And that's karak chai [Strong tea] number one hundred.
Or something like that plus or minus like 20. Delicious though, I will say
they’ve grown on me because the first time I had karhak [Strong] chai, I like thought it
was good but I didn't love it and now I can say that I really enjoy the karak
chai but still number one is the mountain chai we've had, if you saw
that in a previous video up in the Hunza Valley. It's like a green tea but in a
completely different way, and it's so delicious especially when it's cold out.
So let's hit the road guys.
And so guys, this is where the journey comes to an end. We've had such an
amazing last week with the Posh brothers and Muhammad. So I just want to
say thank you guys so much for everything.
Really, really appreciate it. Thank you brother.
Yeah, we started the trip as strangers and left as friends. So thanks again and
