    Cameras cannot do justice to Pakistan's beauty. You have to be there with your 576 megapixels eyes to see and believe it. Also the people of Pakistan are unbelievably kind, generous and loving. I accepted Islam after I became friends with some amazing & caring Muslims but gotta say Pakistani Muslims are another level of sweetness and love. Dil Dil Pakistan ♥♥

    First time to your channel. Done my fair bit of traveling and backpacking around the world. But haven't been to Pakistan. Was thinking what a stunning mountain scenery! And how I'd love to see it in person. Then I saw the road, and I was like, "No thank you!" Haha!! Thought I'd rather hike it than ride it, so I was encouraged to see that crazy dude hiking it. Maybe he's more sane than the rest of you!! I once rode what was deemed then to be "the world's most dangerous road" from La Paz to Coroico in Bolivia. That was before they built a safer highway across on the opposite side of the valley. Not sure if the old road is still in service. That was back in 1997. Enjoyed your video and look forward to checking out more on your channel. Aloha from Hawaii . . ..

    Just a suggestion, but take note of the soft service boots your police officer was wearing. Those are boots you need for travel. The lo-cut Converse gave me a laugh! LOL! I thought of them when I saw you mincing around in a previous vid in the mucky city streets in flip-flops. A couple pair of those soft combat/service boots would do you a world of good. One light, dry conditions pair and a Thinsulate, waterproof pair. Half the price of 'hiking boots' and much better build and quality. 👍👍👍👍
