It was hilarious when local tried giving them ride on the bike, Ben said mate is that your camera poking me from behind and Simon was like "No"😂😂. Pressed up very closely behind me 😅. If I can summarize, youtube audience love to get drawn to this type of content, so here he is giving them that. At 4:15 ben said" I don't feel any danger at all, I actually feel quite safe as the people are super friendly" Security forces were just making sure you stay safe from foreign elements in that region due to one of world's largest deposit of rare metals, minerals, oil and gold reserves in this area other then that whole pakistan is wide open. Peace and good luck ben.
@@sparthacuster Its border areas of Afghanistan so obviously its not 100% safe to travel and for tourism right now as a Pakistani living in Lahore i will never go to that place
He was not selling you Weed. He asked you to help him by giving him 1000 rupees so he can get "WHEAT" called "Atta" in Urdu, for making Chapattis and eat.
Ben! I apologize for the uncomfortable experience in this city. Yes, this city is crazy and also risky for tourist and very few tourists visit here because it's unpopular and secondly, it's dangerous. You guys should have contacted a local tourist guide here, before visiting Quetta. This is where I live, and I also avoid going to the main city as much as I can because it really is crazy and risky city. But the people here are mostly friendly. I am very glad that you took the risk and visited my city, but I do apologize for the bad experience you and Mr. Bald had to go through here. Quetta city has a lot of history related with British government. This city was first built by the British army. Those who don't know about that history should check it out on google or wiki. I think the areas in northern Pakistan are closed for tourist in this season because of the snowfalls, land-sliding risks or road-blockages. But I am not 100% sure about that.
As a Pakistani (Balochistan Quetta) sorry for the inconvenience that you guys faced in Quetta Balochistan. I know that Quetta is not a very safe city but there is so much amazing stuffs to do. Only Quetta is like that the other cities of Pakistan are fine. Again I'm really sorry that you guys faced that much difficulties.
Don't worry, the good thing is reasonable people understand that every country has its unsavory bits, and won't pass judgement based on that alone. They do their research before traveling and keep an open mind.
Wow thank’s to you Ben and to Bald for showing us my hometown to the world, I don’t live there anymore, but I totally understand the difficulty u guys had to face and I apologise for that! The “Security” was just looking out for themselves by controlling and restricting your movement.
Ben, handles it like real man. No fear! He is well travelled and knows how to deal in any sticky situation. Let me tell ya I felt more intimidated walking around in some parts of Bradford and Yorkshire.
@@memes2.o.0 vlogs like these are goldmines for content creators. Draw audience and lots of views. They knew what they signed up for and trust me there is nothing for tourist there. At the end its business and sometime you got to create hype to sell it.
Ben misheard, I guess, because [t] and [d] are similar sounds. The manner and place of articulation is the same (plosive, and (post-)alveolar or dental depending on accent); but [d] is voiced (vibrating vocal cords), whereas [t] is not - that's the only difference.
I've been to Pakistan and enjoyed it. As your video showed the people are among the friendliest and most hospitable you'll encounter anywhere. The food is fantastic. I definitely wouldn't have even considered heading to the part of it you went to at the present time though!
Pro Travel tip:Speaking in Urdu to the Police /Army in the border areas of Pakistan isnt the brightest idea for a White man,it only strengthens their suspicion that u are a trained Western/Jewish spy. Speak to them in English only and pretend that u don’t understand a word they are saying and they will likely let u go 😅
Yes on the paper it looks good however country's intelligence work differently as they have data on them before you step into that country and if there is suspicion they don't even let you enter. Hope it make sense. Peace
I laughed out loud when you said: "one of the craziest places I've ever been". Quetta is my hometown. I now live in UK. You and Bald, honestly like fish out of water if i may say so (The "2.0" man was saying "Toughi Road", offering you a ride to one of the main streets in town).
@@BackpackerBennext time you better arrange invitation from a local tribal leader then you don't need a Police escord and you would be safe everywhere you go.

Security forces were not like Russia who would harras and put you in jail or banned you like Russians did to bald, tell me a single country name where security forces would be so concern about your safety and made sure to give you non stop escort out of danger zone. You didn't get treated badly or out of the ordinary it just anytime any foreigner come visit quetta you become their responsibility due to cross border targeting. I remember you have been told even by locals on train and when you say danger it's not danger like yorkshire or bradford in uk where you will be mugged or stabbed for few pounds. Security forces dealing with whole other beast from cross borders. This whole region is super rich with rare minerals, oil and gold reserves and had been the target of foreign entities. So don't lose hope as you got so much love from pakistanis all around and big boost to your channel since you first visited pakistan.

Damn I do not believe I have ever seen Mr. Bald & Ben swear in unison on a trip. Wishing you guys lots of luck where ever you next go to. Consider Canada, we a desert in the Yukon, polar bears are spotted as far south in Manitoba and gargantuan trees in British Columbia. In my hometown we got four or five golf courses on of them been knocking around since the 1800s too. Love you guys!
When army told you two to leave Quetta, you could have requested them and taken a flight from Quetta to Karachi or Islamabad, instead of back breaking bus journey
Two good things from this video: 1. Man wanting to say Wheat, and saying it like Weed. (Haven't laughed so hard in months.) 2. Those kids may remember it as the day they played Cricket with Joe Root and Andrew Flintoff. Bald's cameo at the end was the only saving grace from this disastrous trip.
My love for my brother and sisters of Pakistan.Also for my beloved leader Imran khan.Inshallah Pak will come out all of problem soon.The man when he told I love Imran khan That felt so amazing, sincerity despite knowing that he is notbable to see his leader again.
Thats my home town , 15 years in Australia still miss that city . The streets you guys were hovering around were nothing less then slums Mexico city few years back , you guys should have gone to Allamdar road side of Quetta, totally different vibes there . Heaps of dual citizens from Europe and Australia.
With all due respect @BackpackerBen and @baldandbankrupt you guyz keep being negative at the end of the video. You both were warned and were told that there are certain security issues and still you want to visit those places and after being denied you say negative things? Such as never again visit to Pakistan? Thats fine mate dont come if you dont want to.. HOWEVER Pakistan IS a peace loving country and there are A LOT of nice places you can visit very easily.. however you specifically wanted to visit the danger areas? 😂 You guyz have to understand some place you CAN NOT visit. Thats like me going to the UK and standing in front of Buckingham Palace and being denied and making negative videos 🤦🏻
Recommend heading to Skardu area if you want to see Northern Pakistan (and the big mountains) this was our start point before we trekked to K2 BC and Gondogoro La.
🎉🎉🎉 Once again I just have to tell you how much I enjoy and appreciate your travels and sharing them with us. Keep safe and healthy. Blessings,Carlos ✝️🙏❤️😊🇺🇸

Apologies for the problems you're facing dear ❤️ hope you're doing well. Foreigners should avoid visiting balochistan due to rising tension w Iran. As situation gets better, you are welcome
Glad you got out safe!! Bring Simon and Mr. Bald to the Philippines one day 🏝️ The best clubs are XYLO and Revel at the Palace, both in Uptown BGC. See you here! 🎉
You and Bald’s content opened the different part of world for me. While these rich or peaceful countries are commonly advertised, it brings me to reality and knowing that there are people living in less perfect life
Amazing video/ film. First time hearing about bolachistan and the *oppressing Savage Pakistani army* towards the poor bolachistan folks. Keep sharing. Stay happy ( everyone)
This place looks like great fun Ben 😄 You are practically a stones through away from Afghanistan so no wonder it seems to similar haha. 5:05 - You've been hanging around with Simon too much apparently 😂 6:43 - That's figs mate haha
interacting with locals on the streets of Pakistan is great. We know so little about Pakistan. Ben showed us that these are good, friendly, simple people who will never be offended by you if you treat them with respect .I've been watching Bold for years now I'm addicted to Ben's videos but still watching Bold videos as well . Cool stuff 😎
bro this is just balochistan, which is in the border of iran...go Hunza, Islamabad, Gilgit. search these places up bro. its only this region due to war with iran. just like you you avoid the favelas in brazil
Cmmon guys , that guy was asking for wheat flour (not weed) , i m from India still i can't see u people just making look Pakistan a war country or something, grow up people 😢
Bhai aapke gurde me kyu dard ho Raha hai, Asliat hi to bata rahe hai. Pakistan is terrorist country and Quetta is near to nuclear facility so it's heavily guarded. So koi bhi Darr jae..aap kyu paki ke humdard ho rhe ho
Sorry for all the trouble which was caused, Quetta is a safe place but sometimes gets a little hostile sometimes. So the government has to make sure that the tourists are safe. you should visit the north of Pakistan, Hunza and Skardu. It is one of the most beautiful places on planet earth and is really tourist friendly, don’t lose hope on Pakistan on 1 bad incident.
Far out Ben. Little wonder Bald had the shits. You quoted good fun earlier in the video. I would call it terrifying. Stinky bus to top it off. Fab video once again.🎉
Many other travelers to Pakistan with van or motorcycle had the same nightmare with police escorts. It's not just about tension with Iran, military of Pakistan wants to have an eye on all travelers all the time and it's so annoying.
For most of them. Pakistan was their transit country and didn't want to stay longer in pakistan. As soon as they get neighboring country visa they left. They know it was too dangerous to visit pakistan.
@@jimbocho660 marc travel and big friendly truck mentioned in their videos. That pakistan was their transit country. Indian visa wasn't issued on time so they travel north Pakistan until their visa was issued. Check their videos. He maintained that in videos.
Interesting Travel. You guys are doing it on purpose. There are much scarier places in US, and Europe which are controlled by Drug Lords, Gangsters and no go areas for anyone. I live near Detroit, Michigan, and most local Americans avoid Detroit. Philly and parts of L.A., South side Chicago, and parts of few boroughs of New York City, same thing, I have lived there. So, many countries including UK have no go areas for certain ethnicities. Pakistan, is no exception. Big Cities and Northern Tourist Areas, are safe, as are many safe tourist attraction areas in UK and US.
Truth is, the military did go above their dury to keep you guys safe, end of the day you arrived at a time when Iran fired missles within the Balochistan area. I completely understand that both you and Bald, enjoy going to danger zones, experiencing stuff not many travellers adventure into and kudos for having the set of balls to do that, we all give credit to that 🤟🏾 But, ultimately, they had to intervene, otherwise at a certain point they couldn't garantee the safety of both you and bald, but, also their own military personal to escort you to those areas, it was simply not worth the risk. I'm happy they stopped you guys, it shows they care about your well-being 👍🏽 Quetta people are nice, I mean almost all Pakistanis are nice folks, just like the rest of the World. If you believe halve dibwits in the comment section saying majority of Pakistan is bad than the state would be in complete anarchy, it's not Gotham Asylum. But, you can't help Sheeps, they just like to follow their crowd or in this generarion they are slaves to their own algorithm, it is what it is 😌 Looking forward to your next content. Hope you and Bald would someday visit Islamabad and get to do more 'typical touristy' stuff within Pakistan until then stay safe and keep up the good work 😁
Mate you should not have opted for the southern north side of Pakistan as it has been dangerous for the last couple of years. You guys should have planned for Punjab instead of Sindh and Balochistan as that would have been a lot better for y'all. Plan for cities like Multan, Lahore, Islamabad or go for the northern side of Pakistan which is Kashmir. Visit Giligit, Hunza, Skardu. As foreigners you would be way more comfortable. Try to link up with someone to have a bit of guidance along. I hope you do visit Pakistan again soon !
A great video and another amazing adventure. One thing I did notice was I didn't see any women at all. I am glad you didn't get into the vehicle when the two young men asked you to go with them. I am sure (well, almost) that they were just excited to spend some time with you, but you just never know. Everyone was so kind to you and I know you had to leave Quetta, but they were obviously very worried about your safety. Bald looked like a giant at the bus station! Very wearing, I can see, but I am glad you and Bald are safe.
Meanwhile India is growing day by day and climbing development ladder like anything while Pakistan is going down like anything....feeling bad for the guy, who was asking money to buy wheat....
Sorry your trip in Balochistan was cut short. There's a TON of tension between everyday Baloch and security forces. Many Baloch have been abused (to say the least) so security may think you have other motives with your cameras.
Out of vengeance, britishers created pakistan hoping to be a great country as per their wish while india rots.. now see brits come to pakistan for adventure tourism
The honking culture is relatively better here compared to India
I would say yes it’s definitely not as bad as India. Also the people seem more laid back.

Simon knows when to make a Run...good timing
The neckless thing that the man was selling in the market is dried Anjir or dried Figs on a string! it is not an intestint. 😊
1:38 😂😂😂
He has already done his job as you said there was a blast yesterday 😅😂😂😂
When army told you two to leave Quetta, you could have requested them and taken a flight from Quetta to Karachi or Islamabad, instead of back breaking bus journey
Love these guys ,very entertaining to watch and informative.
Legendary Ben is back again great content when you come back home from work to watch 👍🏻🔥😎
Cheers mate!
Two good things from this video:
1. Man wanting to say Wheat, and saying it like Weed. (Haven't laughed so hard in months.)
2. Those kids may remember it as the day they played Cricket with Joe Root and Andrew Flintoff.
Bald's cameo at the end was the only saving grace from this disastrous trip.
3:44 he is not selling you weed 😂 it's wheat flour the one that they use to make bread 😂
even if he is, he should look at his own dirty country.
Pakistanis think that there is a shortage of wheat all over the world😂😂

Thats my home town , 15 years in Australia still miss that city . The streets you guys were hovering around were nothing less then slums Mexico city few years back , you guys should have gone to Allamdar road side of Quetta, totally different vibes there . Heaps of dual citizens from Europe and Australia.
With all due respect @BackpackerBen and @baldandbankrupt you guyz keep being negative at the end of the video. You both were warned and were told that there are certain security issues and still you want to visit those places and after being denied you say negative things? Such as never again visit to Pakistan? Thats fine mate dont come if you dont want to.. HOWEVER Pakistan IS a peace loving country and there are A LOT of nice places you can visit very easily.. however you specifically wanted to visit the danger areas? 😂 You guyz have to understand some place you CAN NOT visit. Thats like me going to the UK and standing in front of Buckingham Palace and being denied and making negative videos 🤦🏻
Recommend heading to Skardu area if you want to see Northern Pakistan (and the big mountains) this was our start point before we trekked to K2 BC and Gondogoro La.
🎉🎉🎉 Once again I just have to tell you how much I enjoy and appreciate your travels and sharing them with us. Keep safe and healthy. Blessings,Carlos ✝️🙏❤️😊🇺🇸
I love y America. From Pakistan 😊❤
I'm glad you are doubling up with your friend. Only make sense regarding safety.
Where are all the women? Are women not allowed in Quetta?
the temperature is hot during the day
I love backpassage ben ❤
Fighting is still going on in mach, since last 48 hrs just 64 kms from Quetta. So it would be safe to return to Islamabad, Karachi or Lahore etc
He visited week ago.
They don't travel and waste money to visit urban areas.
Nice one Ben, Stay Safe .
Looks cleaner than India even though GDP per capita and Litteracy rate is very less from India how is it possible maybe less population anyway love to people of Pakistan
Thanks dear.
For your information Asia's cleanest river and Asia's cleanest village both are in India

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉Baluchistan is occupied by Pakistan.It was a independent country in 1947.
People of Baluchistan are fighting for freedom.
Good your still alive big Ben & little Ben
Apologies for the problems you're facing dear ❤️ hope you're doing well. Foreigners should avoid visiting balochistan due to rising tension w Iran. As situation gets better, you are welcome
At 10:30 the rickshaw driver wasn't say two zero he was telling you the name of the road (TOGHI ROAD)
Hurray, another wild adventure, keep them coming. Yeah the siruatiin there in the middleeast is volatile, best to play it safe n leave. Stay safe.
Should've visited Lahore, Rawalpindi & Islamabad. And the Murree Brewery!
Glad you got out safe!! Bring Simon and Mr. Bald to the Philippines one day 🏝️ The best clubs are XYLO and Revel at the Palace, both in Uptown BGC. See you here! 🎉
" So sad to see u Ben u couldn't be able to explore good places of Pakistan, anyway ben keep updating stay safe 🙏🙏❤️
Imagine if we said Pakistanis couldn’t come to parts of our city. Time to treat them with the respect they give us.
Absolutely wild. Thanks for showing us this part of the world.
Cheers for watching!
You and Bald’s content opened the different part of world for me. While these rich or peaceful countries are commonly advertised, it brings me to reality and knowing that there are people living in less perfect life
Thanks!
Cheers bro! 🤝
You guys are so lucky to get out of there alive. Count your blessings.
The adventure continues woohoo 👍💪🔥🔥🔥
Amazing video/ film.
First time hearing about bolachistan and the *oppressing Savage Pakistani army* towards the poor bolachistan folks.
Keep sharing.
Stay happy ( everyone)
This place looks like great fun Ben 😄 You are practically a stones through away from Afghanistan so no wonder it seems to similar haha. 5:05 - You've been hanging around with Simon too much apparently 😂 6:43 - That's figs mate haha
it is full of adventure,every part of the city you have been filming thats great , i like your this part
interacting with locals on the streets of Pakistan is great. We know so little about Pakistan. Ben showed us that these are good, friendly, simple people who will never be offended by you if you treat them with respect
.I've been watching Bold for years now I'm addicted to Ben's videos but still watching Bold videos as well . Cool stuff 😎
Thanks mate!
I can honestly say, I will never ever go to Pakistan, kudos from Brasil.
U must be from a paradise. Thanks for running your mouth concerning most hospitable people on planet.
Simply dont go to no go areas or red areas....................
We dont need you
😊
bro this is just balochistan, which is in the border of iran...go Hunza, Islamabad, Gilgit. search these places up bro. its only this region due to war with iran. just like you you avoid the favelas in brazil
Cmmon guys , that guy was asking for wheat flour (not weed) , i m from India still i can't see u people just making look Pakistan a war country or something, grow up people 😢
Bhai aapke gurde me kyu dard ho Raha hai, Asliat hi to bata rahe hai. Pakistan is terrorist country and Quetta is near to nuclear facility so it's heavily guarded. So koi bhi Darr jae..aap kyu paki ke humdard ho rhe ho
At 14.00 the police guy saying "these guys are mad, have no brains". SO TRUE.
Really? 😅
@@BackpackerBen Lol he said taliban don't have any brain, when you said are they in Zhob 😂😂
Sorry for all the trouble which was caused, Quetta is a safe place but sometimes gets a little hostile sometimes. So the government has to make sure that the tourists are safe. you should visit the north of Pakistan, Hunza and Skardu. It is one of the most beautiful places on planet earth and is really tourist friendly, don’t lose hope on Pakistan on 1 bad incident.
Kicked out before the David Quetta concert 😢
Whos that?
Army
Far out Ben. Little wonder Bald had the shits. You quoted good fun earlier in the video. I would call it terrifying. Stinky bus to top it off. Fab video once again.🎉
Glad it's them and not me ,the world is getting worse with wars
I'm from Quetta the situation is not that worse
And why because of politics everywhere
This is a forcefully occupied land, this region balochistan never belonged to united india or newly created pakistan.
@@AliKhan-lb6ib Then who does it belong to then?
At 3:38 he said wheat, not weed 😂 so he can buy wheat for himself.😂
why does everywhere you go turn into a warzone, you are like the three horsemen of the apocolypse
No thanks i had anxiety just watching you wslk them streets and talk to people INSANE an eye opener for sure
Many other travelers to Pakistan with van or motorcycle had the same nightmare with police escorts. It's not just about tension with Iran, military of Pakistan wants to have an eye on all travelers all the time and it's so annoying.
I get why they do it but it’s to much and to extremely slow. Takes way to much time and they don’t seem to get it.
For most of them.
Pakistan was their transit country and didn't want to stay longer in pakistan. As soon as they get neighboring country visa they left.
They know it was too dangerous to visit pakistan.
@@harshitneema7862 In fact most of them travelled the length and breadth of Pakistan.
@@jimbocho660 marc travel and big friendly truck mentioned in their videos. That pakistan was their transit country. Indian visa wasn't issued on time so they travel north Pakistan until their visa was issued.
Check their videos. He maintained that in videos.
you'll start to get it when you're held for ransom til then follow the rules little man@@BackpackerBen
Stay safe out there Ben!
Interesting Travel. You guys are doing it on purpose. There are much scarier places in US, and Europe which are controlled by Drug Lords, Gangsters and no go areas for anyone. I live near Detroit, Michigan, and most local Americans avoid Detroit. Philly and parts of L.A., South side Chicago, and parts of few boroughs of New York City, same thing, I have lived there. So, many countries including UK have no go areas for certain ethnicities. Pakistan, is no exception. Big Cities and Northern Tourist Areas, are safe, as are many safe tourist attraction areas in UK and US.
Great episode by the way!😍🪇
Truth is, the military did go above their dury to keep you guys safe, end of the day you arrived at a time when Iran fired missles within the Balochistan area.
I completely understand that both you and Bald, enjoy going to danger zones, experiencing stuff not many travellers adventure into and kudos for having the set of balls to do that, we all give credit to that 🤟🏾 But, ultimately, they had to intervene, otherwise at a certain point they couldn't garantee the safety of both you and bald, but, also their own military personal to escort you to those areas, it was simply not worth the risk. I'm happy they stopped you guys, it shows they care about your well-being 👍🏽
Quetta people are nice, I mean almost all Pakistanis are nice folks, just like the rest of the World. If you believe halve dibwits in the comment section saying majority of Pakistan is bad than the state would be in complete anarchy, it's not Gotham Asylum. But, you can't help Sheeps, they just like to follow their crowd or in this generarion they are slaves to their own algorithm, it is what it is 😌
Looking forward to your next content. Hope you and Bald would someday visit Islamabad and get to do more 'typical touristy' stuff within Pakistan until then stay safe and keep up the good work 😁
Quetta is literally the best and clean cities of Pakistan ❤️ it's my hometown
Mate you should not have opted for the southern north side of Pakistan as it has been dangerous for the last couple of years. You guys should have planned for Punjab instead of Sindh and Balochistan as that would have been a lot better for y'all. Plan for cities like Multan, Lahore, Islamabad or go for the northern side of Pakistan which is Kashmir. Visit Giligit, Hunza, Skardu. As foreigners you would be way more comfortable. Try to link up with someone to have a bit of guidance along. I hope you do visit Pakistan again soon !
A great video and another amazing adventure. One thing I did notice was I didn't see any women at all. I am glad you didn't get into the vehicle when the two young men asked you to go with them. I am sure (well, almost) that they were just excited to spend some time with you, but you just never know. Everyone was so kind to you and I know you had to leave Quetta, but they were obviously very worried about your safety. Bald looked like a giant at the bus station! Very wearing, I can see, but I am glad you and Bald are safe.
theyre not mean or kidnappers to tourists dont worry
Meanwhile India is growing day by day and climbing development ladder like anything while Pakistan is going down like anything....feeling bad for the guy, who was asking money to buy wheat....
Almost no women at all.
Noticeable!
Great job guys well done!!!☝🏻💚
looks like Cricklewood north London, love it
Sorry your trip in Balochistan was cut short. There's a TON of tension between everyday Baloch and security forces. Many Baloch have been abused (to say the least) so security may think you have other motives with your cameras.
Intersting simon saved himself leaving from Quetta already
Don’t blame him 😂 wish I left earlier
Out of vengeance, britishers created pakistan hoping to be a great country as per their wish while india rots.. now see brits come to pakistan for adventure tourism
Where are the women in the streets? Not a single one is out.
Pakistan seems beautiful clean educated but why it is below than India in rankings i don't understand
Maybe because you've never been to Pakistan..And judging a whole ass country just by seeing a RUclips video is laughable 🤡
