DRIVING the KARAKORAM! - PAKISTAN 🇵🇰 - Australia to Scotland by road - Episode 60
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 авг 2024
- We've already completed the first half of the Karakoram Highway and in this episode we'll be (almost) finishing it off!
From our last stop at the ski resort in Naltar Valley we head back down the dramatic 16km track to the KKH to then continue on for another 63kms to Alliabad. I couldn't help repeating how beautiful this drive was as we wound our way around each bend, it honestly felt like the scenery kept getting better and better!
Arriving in Alliabad we went to a hotel called "Mountain Story" which was a recommendation from our friend Sana. One of his friends owns a beautiful mountain lodge style hotel and restaurant and was kind enough to let us camp out the front and use his facilities including a nice hot shower (always the most appreciated thing to have)! We ended up staying for two nights and made the most of having power and wifi to catch up on making the videos as well as taking in the beautiful view. Thanks for having us Atif!
On the way to our next camp spot at Borith Lake we stopped in at Hussaini Bridge; a pretty scary suspension bridge (if you ask me yes, though I'm terrified of suspension bridges! Ha!).
Just a few kilometres from Hussaini is Borith Lake. Here we found a nice little spot to camp up for a couple of days as we celebrated Mark's birthday with some pancakes.
Up the track from Borith Lake is the majestic Passu Glacier. A short walk from the end of the road takes you up a surprisingly well built track along the edge of the mountain to a great lookout point over this very white glacier.
Our next stop was just down the road to check out the Passu Cones, an iconic and dramatically beautiful mountain range. It was really cloudy when we first arrived at our camp spot though thankfully the following morning the clouds cleared and the sun came out briefly giving us just enough time to capture some epic footage.
From here we continue driving to the border town Sost through these beautiful mountains.
That's it for this episode, thanks for watching! Join us in the next one as we finish off our time in Pakistan and also for our new country wrap up segment!

@@user-zl9ww2md9n welcome and that's awesome
@Atlantean You are SO WRONG
@Atlantean No. You're wrong. Very wrong. I won't argue with someone who is enforcing their opinion from their living room sitting on their ass.
You have not been here. So you feel like that.
@Atlantean no brother. You are so wrong. Please come visit, we welcome you. It's not your fault. Your media teaches you stuff that's far from ground reality
yay! glad to see more exposure to Pakistan, we've always wanted to visit!
You are most welcome bro

WOW, just WOW!!! Your cinematography and drone footage has gone to another level. I'm about to watch this video again on the big screen so I can really appreciate it. Bravo, great job!!!
Thanks! Glad you liked it so much to watch it again! 😄
@@TheWayOverland
1. I’ve now watched the video three times on three different devices.
2. I’ve watched the last minute and a half more than a dozen times because it gives me goosebumps...
3. This is my favorite video of yours, pure magic…
4. I love the driving montages it really shows the rugged beauty and massive scale of Pakistan.
5. The colour palette of this video was stunning.
I could go on and on… but WOW, just WOW!!!
Wow thanks so much! So happy to hear how much you’ve enjoyed it! 😄😄😄
The Way Overland fair play to you guys you’ve seen more of my country than me! 😂 but you’ve inspired me to go travelling there... epic drone footage btw! You guys are smashing it. Keep it up
@@super.zdravko now you need to come to Pakistan!! You are most welcome anytime 🧡🧡
Amazing passu cones, you guys tried your best.. but I tell you audiences. These things can’t be described through a camera lenses.
Epic..!! Love you from sydney
Absolutely Right u r carrot.
Thank you guys for giving me a whole different and wonderful perspective of Pakistan 🇵🇰. Promising Pakistan! Happy Belated birthday to Mark!
Thanks Travice 😄 along with SL it's one of the countries we definitely need to go back to!
Just fantastic. When you started out I thought you'd be pootling around Oz - incredible to see now where you're going. The episodes are getting better and better, thank you.
We're a little far from home now 😜 Thanks, glad you think so! We'll be back in Aus next year and looking forward to filming more of it!
Oz got nothing on this place.
I spent whole last week in north eastern italy (south Tyrol). It’s beautiful But these places in Pakistan are just too majestic
Naveed syed I’ll keep to Italy thank you very much.
@@peterkelly8357 nobody is inviting you 🖕
Love from India.. I wish I could visit those mountains
Your warm welcome anytime anywhere in Pakistan ..
Bro visit any time you want there is no restrictions on anyone...
u r warmly welcome bro
You are always welcome lots of love from Pakistan 🇵🇰
You are welcome bro..
Thank you for Visiting my country, Love to see you guys are enjoying here...
Wow, What fascinating adventure. I guess in the early & mid 80’s there was no road yet in this part of northern Pakistan. What a beautiful northern Pakistan territories. Snow peak mountains, clean running rivers from snow melting, cherry blossoms. I envy this couple traveling in this remote places...
Wow and Wow!! I had no idea Pakistan was so stunning!! Thank you for these beautiful videos!
come here and explore by yourself
You guys are amazing!!! My hat's off to you for your sense of adventure. I still can't believe that this is Pakistan. Btw, some of those off road drives look pretty scary. Take care and safe travels and thanks for taking us along. Great drone footage!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pretty beautiful country hey! 🏔 Yeah some of the roads had huge drop offs and overhanging rock. It certainly made for an epic drive! Glad you enjoyed it! 😄
The B this is why smarter adventurers are Veterans or Ex Army that read rules of each nation they go to. These hipsters aren’t adventurers, they are tourists, hipsters, and ideological leftist idiots, they bring shame to the word “adventurers” for being so careless and retarded, but I expect nothing less from hipsters
All that I can say is to Click Share and tell the world. 60 Episodes Later. The world needs to know what this young couple are doing. What an adventure. The one that we all wished we were brave enough to take when we were young enough.
Share it out. Let's make this world a safe one just as they are.
Are they safe Mike because they haven't commented on any of the social medias for over a month?
Is this an ironic post? From all the reports they are the opposite of safe. So yes, share it out. The world is a dangerous place.
much love & respect for you guys! much love & respect for Pakistan & people of Pakistan! (Edwin Ali, Australia) cheers!
Awesome scenery! I really enjoy watching your journey and look forward to your next video!
Great to hear that Paul, cheers!
Ha ha ha ! Nice one !
Congratulations on being released from Iran. :)
where is this publicized?
@@trrpettus Search for this title: Australian travel bloggers released in Iran were freed in apparent prisoner swap
That’s great news, Alhamdulillah.
View of our country is breathtaking 😍😍😍
When youre living in Pakistan you dont need world to explore!!!
Piece of heaven!!
Probably your best work so far.

Thank you for visiting Pakistan and providing a positive review. The footage towards the end was beyond epic. If it wasn't for such dedicated and generous explorers like you, who are willing to share, us commoners would have no idea what we would have missed. I am sure being physically there must be many times more thrilling.
Great stuff, you guys are nailing it. Really appreciate the effort you are making with this vlog. Beautiful place.
Cheers Jack!

Pakistan is sure, if not the most, one of the top most beautiful countries of the world. It is a country that experiences all four seasons and has climates ranging from hot desert ones to the coldest ones. From sea to the river to land to lakes, Pakistan is just full of natural landscapes, something that tourists desire the most..#Gilgit-Baltistan
Passu cones mountains always stunned me...there is some kinna magic to these mountains..which u cant feelin video or pic...u have to see for urself n feel in heaven
Happy Birthday Mark!❤️

Usama bhai aap ke comments toh har Pakistan ke travel ki videos main hotey hian, kya aap ko eis ke koi peysey deyta hai ha ha ha
Loved it... I drove all the way to china border last year... It was an unforgettable experience!
Jolie King and Mark Firkin quit their jobs two years ago to travel full time to start The Way Overland, documenting their extended journey through 36 countries from Australia to the UK. They had just published Episode 60 on their RUclips channel, sharing some beautiful footage of Pakistan, when all of their accounts suddenly went silent. The Australian's who disappeared suddenly from the Internet in June have been located in a notorious Iranian prison, where they are being detained indefinitely. The couple was apparently arrested by Iranian authorities in July after flying a camera drone without the proper permits.
Happy birthday Mark..🎉🎉
And WELCOME to PASSU..❤🤗🤗
What an amazing adventure.
One Life, One Search,
Shane

Borith Lake is close to Passu Glacier (26Km) , in between Passu and Ghulkin Glacier (22Km).
From Borith Lake, If you hike a bit towards Passu Glacier .. you will get more than your money worth
Straight in front of you wil be
Batura Sar (7795m)
Batura ll (7762m)
Batura lll (7729m)
Shispare Sar (7611m)
Batura lV (7594m)
Passu Sar (7476m)
Mucho Chish (7453m) {Highest un-climbed peak in the world}
Ultar sar (7388m) {The peak just behind Baltit Fort, Hunza}
Dunasir (7329m} {The peak just behind Baltit Fort, Hunza}
Most of these are part of Batura wall.
batura wall, is a 10km long wall continuously higher than 7,000 meters
How fascinating is this?
There is no peak higher than 7000 m in the whole world except this region , or cluster of mountain ranges, that includes Karakoram, Himalayas and Hindu Kush.
And all of these three emanate from Pakistan
Near Gilgit is a village, Jaglot, where all these mountain ranges converge at the confluence of River Indus and Gilgit River
Welcome to Pakistan
So beautiful my country
Best of luck for tour 😘
My beautiful country 🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰
Welcome to Pakistan and enjoy natural beauty, culture, food and amazing hospitality of this beautiful country

Okay I am concerned now since last location was of Iran almost two months ago and last message was on Jun 30th.. Something bad may have happened and if so, may you rest in peace.
Just seen on BBC news that they have been arrested in IRAN ten weeks ago that’s why no blogs Hope think are ok for best wishes and hope you are free soon to continue you journey
Any update?
