  • It was a dream come true to have done everything necessary to enter Afghanistan and then to finally make it to the last village in the Wakhan to start this trek. Unfortunately, the sour yoghurt and the chai with unknown floating objects in it I consumed the day before from some friendly locals in the village of Ptukh caught up to me. Luckily, I met a tourist from Belgium who had just finished trekking and was able to give me some Amoxicillin. Going up and over Deliz Pass was a mission, and I thought I was going to throw up right on the trail. But, to be honest, I felt like pushing myself to this limit was also pushing out all of the toxins, even if it wasn't. I usually do treks like these alone, but I was so happy to have Daduk out there with me for the 9 days I spent trekking in the Wakhan. I learned a lot about his life, his aspirations, and the culture and lifestyle of people living in the Wakhan Corridor. I've said it before and I will say it again: Nothing is better than exploring the landscapes of a foreign country while simultaneously receiving a significant cultural exchange. My love for Afghanistan can not be put into words. Enjoy this video of the two hottest days of the trek, where me and Daduk traverse the Wakhan River east towards Lake Chaqmaqtin.

    I love how people from other cultures say "I can't speak English" and then communicate whole ideas and sentences...meanwhile most americans can't go beyond a "Hello" "Where is the bathroom" at most, haha! Daduk looked like an awesome traveling companion.

      Yes he is much better than he thinks, a huge inspiration. He learned that much English in only two winters! I took Spanish for 4 years and don't even know that much

    The music is great and the video production is excellent. You'll have to drop an Afghan OG Mix Tap on us one of these days. Also, how's the language barrier? Would a translator help?

      Thanks for all your support and kind words Joe! You’re the man. Not too many people spoke English. But as you could tell my trekking guide did alright! He helped me communicate with the Kyrgyz and Wakhi people out on the trek. I was very grateful to have him!

    Hey bro! That's a really nice trip! Tomorrow i'll cross the Afghan border and go to Wakhan. Could you tell me how much did you pay for that gyide with a donkey? Can I buy a donkey and go alone or that's a bad idea?
