BACKPACKING AFGHANISTAN | The Wakhan Corridor

- Опубликовано: 29 апр 2017
- My backpacking journey through Afghanistan's rugged Wakhan Corridor (as an American). I spent a total of two weeks in the country, 10-days trekking over 100 miles through the Pamir Mountains. It was a wild trip!

I worked 2 times in Afghanistan and have travelled in quite a number of countries around the world, but Afghanstan is one of the most beautiful countries I have ever been. Great video.
thanks
No doubt
yes...i want visit this country...oneday
why do u thinko so ? what makes it special ?
@@casio007. One of the reasons, I find Afghanistan so special, is among others the great variety of nature, with steep mountain passes in the east and the south, deserts in e.g. Kandahar, the wide steppes of the north.
This place is better than Dubai for me
any place better then Dubai
mashaallah
Dubai is shit Country Extremely Hot
Dubai is expensive
thank you
it's like Morocco, Iceland, Switzerland and the Himalayas all mixed into one. Amazing.
Yesss!! Thats the 100% true
And like south Spain mostly 🤷♂️😅
It's actually not too far from the Himalayas
It reminded me a lot of Georgia(the country, not state) and the caucus region
Yes of course !
Afghanistan is one of the mountainous, historical and ancient country ...
I love these documentaries!!! Love Afghanistan 🇦🇫 from Mexico 🇲🇽 much love .
We love mexco from Afghanistan bro Really ♥️

@M H plz just shut up. Afghans and Indians have a long friendship.
Afghan ❤india
LOL! How was the weather when Soviet Union was occupying Afghanistan and had India's blessing for the occupation? Liars!
Nowhere around in bad days.
No cars, no smoke, no politics, fresh air, sound of the river, people with warm heart.. what else a man would ask for a living? i woulf live there for ever
Well... It is the second most dangerous country in the world, according to the 2018 GPI report. So i guess safety;)
The Wakhan corridor is quite safe though.t. The Taliban never made it that far. Neither did the Soviets.
Rasmus Kjellerup
Lol
I'm 26 year old and I live here we know how safe for us
Not dangers as media says
@@Brightmanshorts - It is facts...
@@Brightmanshorts you live in Afghanistan? What part? Kandahar is nothing but opium and violence
Wallah Afghanistan is so beautiful country
Allah safe this land for all bad things

We INDIANS love AFGHAN people's. The video is beautiful with breathtakingly beautiful shots and haunting music. Carry on. Best wishes.
Hhhhhhhh jock of the day
@Adam Adam no thanks we don't want boarders with you lots and we are grateful to God that we don't share it.
And our government doesn't represent the people of Afghanistan.
They're puppet's we hate them.
So not all of us like you Indians it's just the government and its supporters

Afghanistan is not a place I've ever thought about going to, but after watching this, I'll have to add it to my bucket list!
visit kabul and badakhshan
Excuse me?
I agree with that Afghanistan is not safe right now although there are some places in northern provinces that are safe but hopefully this country will be peaceful one day. and all people from around the world can visit Afghanistan safely:) love from Afghanistan 🇦🇫 ❤️
Will yes it's not safe there but look at the video nothing happened to that man so............idk

Seriously Afghanistan is the most beautiful country and I love how you guys are showing the side of Afghanistan we don't usually see
It's the media always show's the ugly sides war horror's all that stuffs.
But unfortunately because of the war it's not stable other than that really beautiful country.

I love Afghanistan fram Turkeya
we love turkey
@M G I am Afghan I not say I am Turk stupid
Love from Turkey 💖
May Afghanistan be stable and prosperous.... Greetings from India.... :)
I love how to push the limits with your travels. It's a place where I never would think to go. I'm glad you're showing the good side of Afghanistan!
actually even afghans like me can't visit those provinces . but I hope one day it would be safe for everyone
Luke's HomeTube Afghanistan is really beautiful country, but the people didn't respect it.
Johnny White whay do you mean by saying people didn't respect it??
My birth country so beautiful and scary in the same. Some day I would love to go back there. Thanks for sharing!
I hope one day come to visit my beautiful country.
I was brought up in Badakhshan, I love my beautiful Afghanistan💖
I fell in love with Afghanistan, I was there for over a year. I'll never forget the majestic mountains, beautiful people, and amazing food. I've never seen so many stars in my life, Iceland and the Grand Canyon come second. I will go back again.
Where was it in Afg that had the best dark skies for stargazing?
Love Afghanistan My home land 😍🇦🇫😔❤️
The landscape, the culture, the people.. Absolutely beautiful! Thanks for sharing this side of Afghanistan with the world. It’s so important considering how Afghanistan is portrayed on the news, when in reality it’s such a beautiful country with some of the kindest people I’ve ever met. I hope to see more content like this from RUclips’s creatives!
You have obviously never been there. Any blogger can make any area of the world look good. When you cherry pick the content you could make a sewer look good.
This comment made my day. Afghanistan's brighter side deserves more than the war torn part to be shown to the world.
@@strohdog242 every country has it's good sides and it's bad sides. I'm afghan and i've been in Afghanistan but it's not like in the western media. Afghanastan has very beautiful, honest and kind people, the nature is great and refreshing. I guess you've never visited Afghanistan, because you'd know that it has a warm aura and you automatically feel welcomed. Stop trying to bring Afghanistan down and stop telling other people lies.
@@strohdog242
*I'm also living in Afghanistan my whole life and I have to say Afghanistan is far away from what media says.*
*The media don't care about reality but they just wants attention and bad news get always more attention than good news. Even when many of those "bad news" are not true or much less bad as they say*
It's really wonderful and amazing you have true experience about Afghanistan loves🌹
This reminds me of when we packed our bags left our homes 35 years ago, passing Kuner province, from Kabul to Peshawar,, another must see places, where I like to revisit.. maybe this time don’t have to hide from Russian fighter jets up above, and their soldiers with our own communist collaborators, with heavy heart of not having our dad, who was taken from our home at the middle of the night with no return 😔.. at check points.. maybe at a peaceful time, with a camera, and my kids, who are so curious about my journey .. taking them to memory land,,,
Those orange trees, amazing gardens and valleys along high mountains.. unforgettable images💞
Thank you for sharing your journey. Best of luck!! Please don’t be a missionary, let people be.. because the call of prayers at those up high mountains are majestic ... those mountains are made to echo the Azon ( call to prayers).. please let it be🙏..
🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼 respect
Why was he taken?
Nadia R Oh my god I couldn’t relate more. Even my grandpa was also taken from the house and we don’t know what happened to him
This makes me so sad to read :( I hope you’re doing okay now. Much love from Pashtun in KPK ❤️
@@navjotesinghraja200 he was Muslim
Spectacular, wish to visit it someday.
Where are you from visiting?
You will not regret it. The Wakhan and people are beautiful
this hasn't aged well
When will you be visiting ?

Matt, as an Afghan man born in Afghanistan but raised in the states, I am so grateful that you posted this video. It honestly moves me to see the land where I was born and the mountains that have always been a part of my soul without understanding how until I watched your video. Thank you.
Don't come back...you got slang.

This is nothing less than backpackers heaven... And for Indian backpacker it's more since language won't be an issue and understanding each other...
Ankit tiwari you think they speak Hindi there? They don’t even speak pashto or Persian in those areas
Indians and we afghans speak different languages.... Who ever told you that is stupid we speak farsi... And there are 5 other languages in afghanistan

Simply amazing. It's such a delight to witness beautiful untouched nature. Matt, I am a big fan of your work. You truly are an expert vagabond. Please keep such videos coming. Cheers!
thanks Matt! I'm in Afghanistan right now for work. Thanks for showcasing the other side of the people and the country. Thanks for all the advice as well. I leave here every six months and travel. I thought maybe I'd document my adventures.
