Update: Talk about timing, just today I’m seeing news of a possible Taliban resurgence in Swat. So please keep that in mind. I filmed this earlier in the year. *Don’t miss me at Swat Valley’s luxury ski resort **ruclips.net/video/XqgjkjJu3O8/видео.html* or *see inside an old Pakistani smugglers' market **ruclips.net/video/Huawbs0JUWE/видео.html*
Thanks for including me in your vlog sir! This is Siddiq, the guy in your vlog. Please be my guest next time if you visit Swat again and I'll serve you the traditional food. It would always be my pleasure to respond back and be safe. Nice to meet you! 💟
Nice to see you in the vlog bro. Will be glad to have him as our guest next time he visits Swat. I bet he hasn’t tried our traditional dishes like “Warjaley”, “Gungrii”, and many more stuff.
Hello Bhaijaan! I was waiting for you to come to the comments. It was so lovely to meet with. I wish I could’ve stayed with you. I really wanted to try the traditional food. Email me via my website karlrock dot com and we’ll keep in touch
@@natureXartificial Hi is it safe around your area? I heard in the video that Taliban have gone but still live in area. Would they hurt people from countries they don't like? Thanks.
Karl is the only person I have seen on RUclips, That captures the essence of the people in what most would say are dangerous areas for western folk. It highlights the fact that almost all of these folks are very friendly and accommodating to anyone that visits them. Whether it be walking down a dark alley in some large or small city/village in Pakistan or visiting a 5-star resort in the mountains, The local people are always front and centre, and good or bad, you always get the truth and a sense of what these people are really like.
There are anti-state people in that region like Taliban and ISIS etc groups. Pakistani army is fighting an insurgency just south of this area Waziristan. They do kidnap foreigners for ransom and there is local tribal conflict. So these places are not safe for any one.
Thanks! I'm just showing my experiences and my love for this region of the world. I think truth is important and sharing all sides is real and trustworthy. That's also one of the main reasons why I never do sponsorships too... gotta keep it all real.
World Mac is an American who with British, Australian and an Iraqi vlogger traveled Pakistan and also made friends with the locals who invited them to their homes and wouldn't let them pay in the cafes. Mac was taken on a tour of the Harry Potter University by a group of students who also bought him tea in the cafe. Also a Scots man called Dale had YT videos of his travels though Pakistan. I love them all.
Absolutely ironic to see the warmhearted people there whilst back in basic every 'Western country' you will not find anything close to this. Isn't it time to take an honest look at ourselves ? God bless you all.
Both areas have mountains and guns... Queen Elizabeth 2 is also the same monarch that refuses to apologize for the Jalianwala Bagh massacre of 1919, where thousands were killed, and general Dyer was rewarded with £25,000 and numerous other gifts... Is she racist, or is she retarded, or is she some kind of saddist or sociopath?
All thoughs who smile at you do not mean you well. In his other videos many Pakistanians told him this, and told him to be grateful for the secret police assigned to keep him safe. Now why would a rare tourist be assigned secret police to keep him safe? (You should not visit most of the world)
They wish you would disbelieve as they disbelieved so you would be alike. So do not take from among them allies until they emigrate for the cause of Allah. But if they turn away, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them and take not from among them any ally or helper. Quran 4:89
@@moholah3745 I love insecure Hindus like you suffering from inferiority complex, because money worshipper Hindus can't match the hospitality of Pakistanis. You Hindus are envy of the fact that Hinduism *Atithi Devo Bhav* (Guest is God) is practiced only in Pakistan and not in India.

I had the privilege to live and work in Pakistan from 1997 to 2002. I was based in Lahore but my work took me all over Punjab and NWFP as it was then. And where my work didn't take me, I travelled in my free time - places like Swat and the Northern Territories. I am so happy to see you appreciate this amazing country and the truly wonderful people as much as I do. I have never been back since our enforced evacuation in 2002 but having watched your Pakistan videos I am determined to return one day. A big hello to any of my friends who may read this and to all the good people of Pakistan. Thank you for making my stay in your country the best years of my life
Thank you so much Karl for sharing this with us. I love your videos because you show us the most beautiful parts of Pakistan India etc. Most people think it’s all about the slums and scammers but you show us the beauty in these countries and I thank you so very much for all that you do. You are simply amazing 🤩 I am so glad I had the chance to speak with you in Pierogi discord. You are the kindest person in the world and I love you for that. Safe travels back home to your beautiful wife 🙏🏽💕💜
Hi Stephanie just to confirm there are a few to none scam call centres in Pakistan where in India there are thousands please no one use this comment to have India vs Pakistan war in comment section I did not say it to cause that 😒

@@KarlRock There is always good and bad anywhere you go. Can't just look at one side, right? Hope to see a Dharavi video from you some time! Glad to be here 😌
I remember Malala's Nobel Peace Price acceptance speech as it were yesterday. It's probably the best acceptance speech I've ever heard. There have been some recipients of the peace prize that I as a Norwegian have been embarrassed by over the years, but when Malala was awarded the prize I was both incredibly proud and happy. Proud that she was awarded the price, and proud that came to my home town to accept the prize. What a wonderful person.
Amazing Hospitality in Pakistan, peoples meeting with smiling and offer you tea even didn’t take money for food. Keep exploring Karl. we enjoy your every vlogs
@U nis This is more of a tribal and mountainous region of the country. Theh have their own culture etc. You can go to the big Pakistani cities and can see women and children out and about more than men. You can even see other Karls videos and see plenty of that
Oh my goodness. RUclips keeps doing this to me, serendipity. I visited Swat in 1989 as a young man, the people and the food and the environment and the air and the water and the........

Why do the Carolinas make so many movies about cannibal hillbillies, where innocent tourists who often get lost have to contend with cannibals? Movies like "dead end" or "wrong turn" to name two of countless movies that I have watched. I am now scared to visit the Carolinas 😊
Malala Yousafzai is one of my idols. I read her and her father's books, and they're so beautiful. I really love them and thank you Karl for taking us to her home Village (online ofcourse!)
When I worked for Brit Telecom in 1972 we used to speak to the operator in Lahore to be connected to Mingora and Azad Kashmir ... I don't remember much of it but when I was in my 20s .. I didn't have much patience and I could be sitting there for about an hour waiting to be connected. I guess there's Direct Dial these days. Thanks for uploading Karl very interesting as always
@@keithrichardson3942 Wow, that is long time ago. things have moved on in Mingora since then. We have kids with mobiles, motorways and even a airport in the district. With opening of the Swat Motorway things have began to change every month.
@@keithrichardson3942 Wow, that is long time ago. things have moved on in Mingora since then. We have kids with mobiles, motorways and even a airport in the district. With opening of the Swat Motorway things have began to change every month. Imran Khan's provincial government led by Mehmood Khan has done wonders since 2014.
Karl, like you I'm a mountain person..I pick my holiday destinations where mountains form the backdrop. Never into beaches. Enjoying all your videos of places I'd have loved to travel but my knees are acting up daily. Keep your videos going and love to your wife and both your families.
Karl, I think you missed a place worth visiting in Marghuzaar(literal meaning of the place is Garden)or you haven't filmed it. You should have visited the abode of Wali -e Swat(ruler of the princely of Swat before it became a Part of Pakistan in 1969). That is why most people visit Marghuzaar in the first place. It is place of beauty and history. Also you should have gone to Islampura, that is a famous place for handicrafts like the shawls, Pakol and Saadar(Chadar worn by Pasthuns). Islampur(locally called Salampura) is 10 mins from Marghuzzar.
Karl I’m a huge fan from the uk. I am currently visiting tourist places in pakistan and I visited swat 2 weeks ago. I’m from murree and I highly recommend u visit it(both parts) old murree and murree
How nice was Muhammad Siddiq (if I spelt his name right)? Like 'Come and be my guest' and when you explained you couldn't 'my loss'! Best wishes from the UK.
Karl I can see your visiting a good place, but just as important I can see your in a good place, love the Pakistan 🇵🇰 vids my friend, I’m in England and I’m hoping to visit Pakistan one day, a place I’ve never been, but have dreamed off many times….
Oh my! What a beautiful man that said he watched your RUclips videos and asked you to be his guest,that is great! What a kind man and he is very cute😍.whomever marries him will be a blessed woman because I can see that he has a good heart!
Karl, I’ve been traveling for a while and I’m back watching your channel again. I’m missed your videos my friend, what type of camera are you using now, hope the family’s fine. Be well, be safe, peace. George.
Yahoo a new video I love all your videos so much you are truly amazing..thanks for all you do been watching lots of your videos..thanks Karl Love from London Ontario...
For that he has to enter 14 kilometers inside Afghanistan because in-between Pakistan and Tajikistan there is a 14 kilometers area belonging to Afghanistan.
It is so heart wrenching to see how political games want to divide peple, but how the people themselves just long to be one and peacefull.... same happens in my country right now
Even as a neutral person, I don't think I find Malala's work to be that worthy for a Noble Peace Prize. Especially as compared to Mr Satyarthi who shared that prize with her. He spent all his lifetime to work for children's rights. Hope Karl will visit him and show his work to the world too.
When everyone was quite against Taliban tyranny and only malala spoke against them and advocated for education. She was even ready to gave her life for that cause. This is the story of all young girls who wanted to be educated but Taliban didn't let them educated. She deserved Noble prize more than anyone else.
@@younasmarwat5205 I would suggest you to give a read about the peace work many laureates have done over the years. Malala still has a lot to do on ground. Greta Thunberg is another example.
@@_pr0mZ No I don't agree with you. What malala spoke for, was a game of death and life. She got through real life experience and stood firm against those who didn't let her be educated. Doing something like this in conservative pashtun society is not easy with talibs have gun pointed on you head. Taliban at that time issued a decree that prevented all pashtuns girls from attending school in tribal areas of Khyber pakhtunkhwa. She is a role model for all those girls who wanted to be educated in such situations. The world has recognized her courage and bravery against evil and ultimately given noble prize...
@@younasmarwat5205 Based on just one incident I disagree to be termed it as achievement of lifetime for peace. She has long way to go and prove herself in peace work. Her on field work experience is very limited. By living in a safe heaven of U.K., it is very easy to write big words about anything and keep yourself safe.
As a youtuber documenting around the world,, do you carry some form of business cards with your RUclips info/channel info on it in case people ask? I believe in some countries business cards are still used a lot and just curious. Especially with potential language barriers or difficulty hearing words/letters for them to later look you up, it's probably must easier if they have a card to look it up later. For example I would have given the people at the place you ate at since they where so friendly and accommodating and even declined for you to pay so they could later look you up and see the video on RUclips if they want.
I like your videos! I like your walk abouts, talking to people etc.., that's cool 👍 How did you learn to speak so many different languages? That's very admirable.
When you start a new series on India, why don't you cover the Himalayas on your motorcycle? It would be nice to see the small towns and Hamlets in Himalayas.
Sir if you are in Pakistan, plz meet star anonymous. He is RUclipsr (Gamer n a vlogger) I have a message for both of you 🙂. Love from Indian Occupied Kashmir 🙂💕
BeautifulCity for sure Karl Ji, and yes I'm also a mountain man like you, its cooler up here, and I imagine on the coasts in Pakistan and India, the heat is so sweltering HOT, its unbearable, well for us Mountain folks,so in this region of Pakistan the major language is Pashto? Loving the beautiful Mountain majesties and the pine trees, yes those peopleare living a pure and simpler life, to us in the West it may seem a hard life, but nah, you get used to it and becomes you.Thanks for sharing Karl Ji, 👍and greetings👋from Mexico. 🤠
@@pickling34 Who said were proud lol. a lot of people protested however a lot of people were Happy Place is neutral in it opinion of TTP. Ttp didnt arrive to swat. They were always in swat. They are us. However its better than the situation of Pakistan today. Inflation and so much thing are happening
Karl, have enjoyed all your videos but to call a Chapli Kebab a burger patty is about the same as saying Niagra Falls is just like your cistern at home in NZ. "tt tastes just like a burger patty, and the naan is just like a bun" Goodness! Please, it tastes totally different. And I know it is made of beef. But there is more. :Combine scrambled egg, beef, chopped tomato, onion, cilantro, mint, ginger-garlic paste, coriander seeds, salt, cumin, and cayenne pepper in a bowl. Mix by hand until well combined. Shape mixture into patties. Press a tomato slice into the center of each patty. Next Step: Heat oil in a deep skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Cook patties in the hot oil in batches until charred, 4 to 6 minutes per side. "
@@KarlRock You didn't show White palace in this video or you kept it for another video? Because in Marghuzar that is main attraction with some history from our Wali Swat (our ruler before joining Pakistan).
Taliban ttp wont attaco foreigners. rare incase where they will kidnaply just to hold the government hostage but other than that they dont harm forigners
As an Indian I can say Pakistanis are very well behaved. It's just the religion which they are adamant about and that's what makes majority of them extremists. Otherwise really beautiful people. Two faces of same religion. I could see same manners in all middle East.
Thanks brother Taliban aren't religious , they're just doing opposite of what Islam teaches. Islam gives us the message of peace. I guess it's the politicians they spread hatred among innocent public using it for their benefit.
@@AsifKhan-tw7ye extremism in India is very recent. It's politically motivated and it's started because of many years of oppression from governments who would appease muslims and most of the times muslims disturbing us with their hate speech and praying on roads. Hindus are normally tolerant. See what happened with Syria and Iraq. That's your religion for you
Karl man you went to marghuzar but didnt went in the white palace 😫 its the most famous spot in all of marghuzar because former king of swat used to live there and now it is a museum and very famous
Dear Karl There are many ambiguities in this whole operation of attack and her rescue. There are many social workers in Pakistan, even younger than her who are in the field but why Malala was given so importance on Western Media. It was all pre-planned.

Malala Yousafzai is one of my idols. I read her and her father's books, and they're so beautiful. I really love them and thank you Karl for taking us to her home Village (online ofcourse!)
I love your videos Karl brother you're such a kind hearted human being. 💕 🇵🇰
Thank you Karl for a taking us on a lovely tour once again.
Such friendly people, God Bless
Thanks for showing us around with the locals, food & culture! The contents of your channel is worth the applauds. 👏👏👏
When I worked for Brit Telecom in 1972 we used to speak to the operator in Lahore to be connected to Mingora and Azad Kashmir ... I don't remember much of it but when I was in my 20s .. I didn't have much patience and I could be sitting there for about an hour waiting to be connected. I guess there's Direct Dial these days. Thanks for uploading Karl very interesting as always
Great! When was this by the way? And yeah these areas now have mobile phone coverage. Land lines are no longer in fashion.
Interesting. Which year was this in?

@@keithrichardson3942 Wow, that is long time ago. things have moved on in Mingora since then. We have kids with mobiles, motorways and even a airport in the district. With opening of the Swat Motorway things have began to change every month.

With opening of the Swat Motorway things have began to change every month. Imran Khan's provincial government led by Mehmood Khan has done wonders since 2014.
Dude I might sound like a broken record but I love your Travel explorations and Vlogs
I like your record ☺️
@@KarlRock Haha thanks, keep up the great work
Pakistani peoples r very kind. I had seen lots of vedios they All r same very kind to tourists 👍❤️
Loved those 2 interactions at the end, so wholesome and absolute beauties!
Thanks for another upload! Greetings from Canada :)
Hey Feli- Karl i think its quite cool to have a subscriber just randomly like that.
especially somewhere that seems somewhat remote as well
Bro fist 👊 that’s the magic of RUclips
Virgin Felix: goes to Japan.
Chad Karl: comes to Pakistan and India.
Naran kaghan, hunza, skardu most beautiful places of Pakistan
Those guys seemed really nice. I was waiting for them to ask you to be their guest, too bad you didn’t have time.
I wish I had have! Man that would've been amazing. But I had to go to Malam Jabba and then fly back to India (finally!)
Love Pakistani people from India 🇮🇳❤️🇵🇰
Wonderful adventure. Beautiful scenery there. Namaste.
Karl, like you I'm a mountain person..I pick my holiday destinations where mountains form the backdrop. Never into beaches. Enjoying all your videos of places I'd have loved to travel but my knees are acting up daily. Keep your videos going and love to your wife and both your families.
Nice to travel the world and see different cultures.
Finally a video without sneak dissing local culture and its informative too! 👏👏👏
It's the local past time in Pakistan to talk crap about pakistan.
That subscriber you met at the end, what a nice fella.
He really was. I wish I could’ve taken him up on his offer!
Thanks, I have just come to Swat as a visitor, your video is riveting to watch since I am trying to discover the city.
excellent quality cotent Karl as always. Hugs from Auckland!
Thank you ❤️
thanks for showing real beauty of Pakistan 💓 hope you enjoy hospitality of Pakistan 💓
Karl, I think you missed a place worth visiting in Marghuzaar(literal meaning of the place is Garden)or you haven't filmed it. You should have visited the abode of Wali -e Swat(ruler of the princely of Swat before it became a Part of Pakistan in 1969). That is why most people visit Marghuzaar in the first place. It is place of beauty and history. Also you should have gone to Islampura, that is a famous place for handicrafts like the shawls, Pakol and Saadar(Chadar worn by Pasthuns). Islampur(locally called Salampura) is 10 mins from Marghuzzar.
Really he missed Islampur, and somebody most told him the importance of White Palace there in the Marghuzar
@@pdkhan545 exactly, its like you eat the pulao leave the meat out of it.
@@esapzai9844 😂😂😂😂 true but next time he will enjoy all the meal, because he is the only Vloger how enjyed the natural beauty of Swat Valley.
This should be viral! Amazing content
Karl I’m a huge fan from the uk. I am currently visiting tourist places in pakistan and I visited swat 2 weeks ago. I’m from murree and I highly recommend u visit it(both parts) old murree and murree
Beautiful people, beautiful world 🙏 Thank you Karl for sharing truth news. We here in the west need this experience through you!
Not having the ability to travel I love what you show us. It’s interesting to see how other parts of the world live.
Thank you
How nice was Muhammad Siddiq (if I spelt his name right)? Like 'Come and be my guest' and when you explained you couldn't 'my loss'! Best wishes from the UK.
I just got an email from him ☺️ Hope I can take him up in his offer.
Karl I can see your visiting a good place, but just as important I can see your in a good place, love the Pakistan 🇵🇰 vids my friend, I’m in England and I’m hoping to visit Pakistan one day, a place I’ve never been, but have dreamed off many times….
Oh my! What a beautiful man that said he watched your RUclips videos and asked you to be his guest,that is great! What a kind man and he is very cute😍.whomever marries him will be a blessed woman because I can see that he has a good heart!
Karl, I’ve been traveling for a while and I’m back watching your channel again. I’m missed your videos my friend, what type of camera are you using now, hope the family’s fine. Be well, be safe, peace. George.
Yahoo a new video I love all your videos so much you are truly amazing..thanks for all you do been watching lots of your videos..thanks Karl Love from London Ontario...
You should go to Tajikistan next. And get a video of what its like crossing the Pakistan-Tajikistan land border.
For that he has to enter 14 kilometers inside Afghanistan because in-between Pakistan and Tajikistan there is a 14 kilometers area belonging to Afghanistan.
Pakistan and Tajikistan have 14km of Afghanistan's Wakhan corridor between them, so they don't have a land border.
Karl, you rock! So glad you are providing this channel and discovering Pakistan and sharing your experiences with us.
Karl I love your vids, always places so beautiful thank you 🙏
Pakistan is so beautiful and very neat and clean
It is so heart wrenching to see how political games want to divide peple, but how the people themselves just long to be one and peacefull.... same happens in my country right now
Always stunning videos with so much insight , Karl , keep on educating the world on places media has given too little perspective on!
Nice video
Pls show more biddhist sites and related to buddhism if u find anywhere else in pakistan
Beautiful malala, beautiful SWAT, BEAUTIFUL PAKISTAN.
Karl love you sir. You're are some one who I look up and get motivated. Karl just remain how you are. # Never change Karl. We all love you man
aww that man was so nice, he noticed you, people seem so kind there....WOW not like that any more here.
Even as a neutral person, I don't think I find Malala's work to be that worthy for a Noble Peace Prize. Especially as compared to Mr Satyarthi who shared that prize with her. He spent all his lifetime to work for children's rights. Hope Karl will visit him and show his work to the world too.
When everyone was quite against Taliban tyranny and only malala spoke against them and advocated for education. She was even ready to gave her life for that cause. This is the story of all young girls who wanted to be educated but Taliban didn't let them educated.
She deserved Noble prize more than anyone else.
@@younasmarwat5205 I would suggest you to give a read about the peace work many laureates have done over the years. Malala still has a lot to do on ground. Greta Thunberg is another example.
@@_pr0mZ No I don't agree with you. What malala spoke for, was a game of death and life.
She got through real life experience and stood firm against those who didn't let her be educated.
Doing something like this in conservative pashtun society is not easy with talibs have gun pointed on you head.
Taliban at that time issued a decree that prevented all pashtuns girls from attending school in tribal areas of Khyber pakhtunkhwa. She is a role model for all those girls who wanted to be educated in such situations. The world has recognized her courage and bravery against evil and ultimately given noble prize...
@@younasmarwat5205 Based on just one incident I disagree to be termed it as achievement of lifetime for peace. She has long way to go and prove herself in peace work. Her on field work experience is very limited. By living in a safe heaven of U.K., it is very easy to write big words about anything and keep yourself safe.
love all the vids i think its great you are showing what its actually like
is it cold now? thought it would be hot during summer
Filmed earlier in year
What a beautiful place Swat, hope you enjoyed yourself there in the mountains Karl 😊
As a youtuber documenting around the world,, do you carry some form of business cards with your RUclips info/channel info on it in case people ask? I believe in some countries business cards are still used a lot and just curious. Especially with potential language barriers or difficulty hearing words/letters for them to later look you up, it's probably must easier if they have a card to look it up later. For example I would have given the people at the place you ate at since they where so friendly and accommodating and even declined for you to pay so they could later look you up and see the video on RUclips if they want.
I should do that and in multiple languages
This is such a great travel vlog. Thanks for posting this. Love your videos.
Unbelievable what Malala went through.
Trust me nobody from swat likes her
I like your videos! I like your walk abouts, talking to people etc.., that's cool 👍 How did you learn to speak so many different languages? That's very admirable.
When you start a new series on India, why don't you cover the Himalayas on your motorcycle? It would be nice to see the small towns and Hamlets in Himalayas.
I really want to get back on my bike!
Pakistan people are so amazing, what a hospitality.
Sir if you are in Pakistan, plz meet star anonymous. He is RUclipsr (Gamer n a vlogger) I have a message for both of you 🙂. Love from Indian Occupied Kashmir 🙂💕
BeautifulCity for sure Karl Ji, and yes I'm also a mountain man like you, its cooler up here, and I imagine on the coasts in Pakistan and India, the heat is so sweltering HOT, its unbearable, well for us Mountain folks,so in this region of Pakistan the major language is Pashto? Loving the beautiful Mountain majesties and the pine trees, yes those peopleare living a pure and simpler life, to us in the West it may seem a hard life, but nah, you get used to it and becomes you.Thanks for sharing Karl Ji, 👍and greetings👋from Mexico. 🤠
They are conservative because they are pashtuns...most religious people in Pakistan
And taliban are also pashtuns
Yes taliban have recently taken over Swat 😂 as well..They just out up checkpoints
@@SherKhan-rd9uw ...well it's not something to be proud of💀
@@pickling34 Who said were proud lol. a lot of people protested however a lot of people were Happy Place is neutral in it opinion of TTP. Ttp didnt arrive to swat. They were always in swat. They are us.
However its better than the situation of Pakistan today. Inflation and so much thing are happening
craving Indian food now... tomorrow in Albuquerque Yummy
Karl, have enjoyed all your videos but to call a Chapli Kebab a burger patty is about the same as saying Niagra Falls is just like your cistern at home in NZ.
"tt tastes just like a burger patty, and the naan is just like a bun"
Goodness!
Please, it tastes totally different. And I know it is made of beef.
But there is more.
:Combine scrambled egg, beef, chopped tomato, onion, cilantro, mint, ginger-garlic paste, coriander seeds, salt, cumin, and cayenne pepper in a bowl. Mix by hand until well combined. Shape mixture into patties. Press a tomato slice into the center of each patty.
Next Step:
Heat oil in a deep skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Cook patties in the hot oil in batches until charred, 4 to 6 minutes per side.

Trihard
I must admit, this casts an entirely different picture of Pakistan for me, thanks so much!
Alhamdulillah now everything is fine in Pakistan ❤️
LOL
It realy isnt. check what has happened in swat recentlu
My hometown, not visited for over 4 years now. I think, I should go back soon after this video.
Haan Ji. Visit Malam Jabba for a weekend too
@@KarlRock Yes, for sure planning too. Kalam, Mahodand and Malam Jaba are common go to place whenever I go back.
@@KarlRock You didn't show White palace in this video or you kept it for another video? Because in Marghuzar that is main attraction with some history from our Wali Swat (our ruler before joining Pakistan).
You were lucky to visit when you did because the Taliban are back @Karl Rock
They do nothing with foreigners but with those who want to harm them
Taliban ttp wont attaco foreigners. rare incase where they will kidnaply just to hold the government hostage but other than that they dont harm forigners
Aww 🥰 we all love you! You’re an amazing person Karl!!
The irony that while you were filming this, about 200 Taliban fighters were setting camp in the Matta mountains. Please stay safe.
👍🏽👌🏽👏🏽😍
Beautiful North Pakistan
😁👊🏻🇦🇺🇳🇿☕️🍺
Malala is the Daughter of Pakistanis Like me🇵🇰
As an Indian I can say Pakistanis are very well behaved. It's just the religion which they are adamant about and that's what makes majority of them extremists. Otherwise really beautiful people. Two faces of same religion. I could see same manners in all middle East.
Thanks brother
Taliban aren't religious , they're just doing opposite of what Islam teaches.
Islam gives us the message of peace.
I guess it's the politicians they spread hatred among innocent public using it for their benefit.
Lol Dont you see the Extremists in India? We always meet 2 types of person. One who understand well and One who Dosent. Cheers.
Apni bakwas bnd kro..our religion teaches us humanity..
No religion no humanity
@@zeebee3545 ap Pyar say baat krain kindly
@@AsifKhan-tw7ye extremism in India is very recent. It's politically motivated and it's started because of many years of oppression from governments who would appease muslims and most of the times muslims disturbing us with their hate speech and praying on roads. Hindus are normally tolerant. See what happened with Syria and Iraq. That's your religion for you
Karl man you went to marghuzar but didnt went in the white palace 😫 its the most famous spot in all of marghuzar because former king of swat used to live there and now it is a museum and very famous

Kashmir is India.
@@tubro541 If you say salt, they are all dishonorable brothers
oh man that would be an awesome adventure and very nice locals. wow.
Dear Karl
There are many ambiguities in this whole operation of attack and her rescue. There are many social workers in Pakistan, even younger than her who are in the field but why Malala was given so importance on Western Media. It was all pre-planned.
Beautiful scenery.
Plz don't make it dirty your video with the name of Malala
Your absolutely right 👍
Wow
Very educational
Thanks so much ‼️❤️👏🏿
Thanks for showing Swat Karl. I hope that one day you can visit Pakistan with your wife inshAllah😃
I like both the mountains and the coast
Good call!
