I’ve been in a similar driver situation and we decided to go to the local police. Where we got to know that the police is especially for the tourists and at last the driver had to give us money from his pocket. So mate in a situation like this always go for the local police.
You might never see this, but you're just a LEGEND. I think I'm going to come up with a list of all-star Ben phrases. I laugh out loud so many times. You really cheer me up. Thanks, Ben. ❤

Ah, the good old days when the Benny lad thought it was more interesting to show hotel rooms than epic journeys across Pakistani mountains! On a more serious note: Great video as always lad. Glad I'll never have to get a ride from that fella at the end there.
Mate, travelling in Pakistan is all about the ups and downs. Somethings will incredibly frustrate you but then you'll see something amazing. It's a constant see saw
@@BackpackerBen I DONT KNOW WHY YOU DIDNT TAKE FLIGHT ISLAMABAD TO SKARDU. MANY VLOGERS DID SAME THEY TOOK FLIGHTS AND EASILY REACHED WITH LESS MONEY. OBVIOUSLY THIS ROAD WAY IS NOT EASY TO GOING. SO FIRST PREPARE YOURSELF THEN BLAME BROTHER. YOUR PLAN IS NOT GOOD FIRST RESERACH THEN PLAN YOUR VISIT. YOU NEED TO WATCH OTHERS FOREIGNER VLOGS WHAT THEY DID AND HOW THEY REACHED SKARDU EASILY AND HAPPILY. WE LOCALS HERE ALSO VISIT SKARDU ON PLANE NOT ROAD WAY.
Word of advise if you are traveling to northern areas... Jeeps are only good for rough roads. On good roads you will be just fine with a normal car. And always get a professional company driver as they are used to driving up north all the time and they take good care of their car and also keep it clean for the customers. These random ones in the middle of the road are not experienced and they just want to make quick buck so if you want peace of mind and no hassle, always hire a professional company driver. You can find many in the northern areas. You are there to enjoy the views and local experience, unprofessional drivers and car issues are the last things you want
Ben, a simple question mate. If you can drive and if you have a licence, or if any one of you has a driving licence. Then all you guys have to do is rent a decent vehicle that can travel up mountains and drive it there. I would never have chosen to ride in this jeep, which said "discomfort" all over it from a mile away. Don't just pick random guys where they happen to be. Pick a decent car or a car with driver from a decent rental or a guide, and you guys would do just fine. Do not just pick random guys with random vehicles in the middle of the road. They are not professionals and all they care about is money.
Haha, what an adventure. I watched the first 10 mins and I though, what's the complaining about, he's just delayed a few hours, that's standard Pakistani time keeping - by the end i was all "omg, i'd have punched the guy".
This should be honored as 'The Most Mental Trip Ever'. The wait, the vehicle's issue, the u-turn trip, then vehicle's issue again, the lack of safety, everything. Your patience is out of the world mate 😅
My man Ali wearing a Bass Pro Shops hat. The main headquarters is a tourist destination in itself. Just remember your worst day is better than most people's regular day. You also found out why that top wasn't going to come off. Lol
This is a "desi" thing, keep everything looking as new as possible. I was born and raised in Canada, parents from Pakistan. Growing up, our couch and TV remote were always covered in plastic.
They do in alot of places - Singapore in particular I remember. It's obviously to keep the wear and tear to a minumum from all those different bottoms getting in and out of the vehicle. Quite sensible really.
One question though, why did you look for another guide? what happened to the person that you went to Hunza with previously? I dont think you had much trouble back then to be compare with this one lol
I think your friend ali is not even a pakistani , he doesn't even know how to deal with locals , he can't even bargin and doesn't even know the routes , the disaster is partially his fault
Hahaha, that bucket bath reminded me of visiting my relatives in India on holiday. Great video mate, safe travels from Canada. And was very surprised that a Toyota kept breaking down.
Seems like you’re not having a good time bud, nothings comes easy in Pakistan I’ll tell you that much. Weather , food and accommodations might not be up to par to your standards but that how it is and you gotta make the best of it.
@@-k5703 agree On budget Pakistan is a tough place,with moderate money it is very easy Why using cheap taxis,cheap hotels,and cheap restaurant and expecting A1 results
You have been smiling the whole day. How can you say the worst day in Pakistan. I lived 5 years in London and these 5 years were the worst years of my life unless and until I moved to Austria. Have a good trip mate.
I would have preferred a fist-fight over paying that driver. It cost you what 50 grand to almost get killed and still not make your destination. Yeah, I'm throwing down with the driver.
Wth I could literally regret my whole life if I had paid even 10 extra rs. to such guy and you literally paid him 10000. You really thought he could do anything? Instead you could have told him to bring his boys quick coz your boys are just 10 mins away
Strange how even the poorest of locals seem to speak a second language while those from " developed" countries cant.Wearing shorts in a Muslim country is taboo and may attract some Male " " admirers"".
12:46 - i know you are joking but that thing goes on A LOT daily up there where they are not allowed to touch women unless they are married

The difference of the india videos to these ones are like night and day - so much more peaceful and serene
Why do all the taxis have plastic wrappers around the seats?
no idea

Unreal. Seriously though, love it.
I like your honesty . you are giving an honest review .
Appreciate that 👍
One question though, why did you look for another guide? what happened to the person that you went to Hunza with previously? I dont think you had much trouble back then to be compare with this one lol
I wanted him
My friends didn’t
@@BackpackerBen ah.
I think your friend ali is not even a pakistani , he doesn't even know how to deal with locals , he can't even bargin and doesn't even know the routes , the disaster is partially his fault
I'm a local and i don't know any of that too because I'm an introvert. doesn't change the fact that I'm not a pakistani
Ben you’ve said this is the worst day ever so many times!
Great vlog. I fully support new youtubers. Best wishes for new youtubers
Him and Bald are my two favourite travel youtubers now.
I thought your lad benjamin was a local pathan guy until you told his name..wow
Haha 😂
Ahh why did you cave and pay him,. That just promotes this behaviour for future trips

Agree with low money ,pakistan is a difficult place
First time was way better
If you spend decent money then there are really nice hotels in many northern areas
@@-k5703 agree
On budget Pakistan is a tough place,with moderate money it is very easy
Why using cheap taxis,cheap hotels,and cheap restaurant and expecting A1 results
On suite…..hole of death 😂😂😂
What a wild day! Can't wait to watch the next one haha
love it mate
You might not see this comment but I’m catching up (new to the channel) why not use the original guide from before he was a legend
Is the tea safe to drink?
Tea is fantastic! ❤️ You’ll love it for sure
Nah honestly would avoid it
Amazing video, Ben! Just a question: where are the women in Pakistan? I only see men everywhere!
loooooooooooool that intro
Wow ... My ex husband is from Islamabad ... I've never been there, but I'm guess I'm lucky ..
hunza is a very beautiful place to visit did you liked it, i also want to go to hunza one day
You're a backpacker doing cheap travel. Stop complaining.
Yup, acting like a spoiled kid.

Yep smiling in pain 😂

How 😆
You pick wrong route Wrong Vhicles and wrong Guide or translator you should come back to Islamabad and catch Bus for Hunza.
I had a "cars broke down" driver in south africa ffs
amazing
I dn't understand ,what kind of worst day you spent in pakistan .
I think pakistan is amazing country
Did you see the video ?!
