I am taking you with for a 6-day trip through one of the world's most beautiful yet underrated region, and it lies here in Northern Pakistan welcome to the beautiful part of Pakistan known as Skardu this is a longer video yet it covers so many exotic experiences interactions and moments I have with some of the pakistanis I meet along the way [__] from exploring some of the most exotic places on Earth to road tripping deep inside the region we will make new friends [__] try new foods we're translates to [__] an experience Skardu through The Eyes of locals from northern Pakistan this video will bring you closer to places that many Pakistanis have never seen before let's do this [__] we're just about 2 minutes outside of the airport and we're entering into the outskirts here of Skardu so where we are cruising to is uh the city center first and then yeah yeah what's the plan here Mr Posh we'll go the Main City Skardu Main City all right we'll go for their check in then we will go for the all right well that sounds awesome that sounds like a great start to the day we're a few hours behind cuz uh we took a flight at I guess 12:00 instead of 8:00 a.m. but that's all right we're still here by 1:45 and the sun set sets here probably what like 6:00 p.m. so we've got a couple hours yeah yeah we have oh perfect perfect and so here it goes yeah it's going to be a different experience than being in uh Hanza just because of the uh varying colors you know you can still see a lot of the greenery on the tree when I was in Hanza nearly two years ago uh most of the leaves had already fallen off the tree by then and it is a Sunday here so you can see what life is like on a Sunday but yeah it's really nice to be kind of outside of the populated areas being in Karachi it was like you know so many people everywhere being out here in the mountains you get a lot of space spread out and uh it gives a whole different feeling we got a little Skardu traffic Skardu traffic right there we

it's either that or I'm super hungry or both yeah this is really good we've got a lot more spices than I've had in Biryani before as you can see and the nice part is I personally love spice so this gives it such a strong kick that is the definition of Mazar my friends Mazar m and that chicken it just Falls right off the bone there delish as you can see we did not like that Biryani just kidding we loved it and the uh bellies are full that I don't know if I've just not had Biryani in like I don't know months probably since I was in India the Indian version or I don't even know maybe maybe it's been like besides that meal or two in India like a couple years since I've had biryani spice on there was a right amount to uh you know get the taste buds going not too hot where you need to drink water every second but it was fantastic sh brother all right and we are off think I need to grab myself another sweater from the uh from the room up there so we will see you guys in just one second I'm going to go from wearing my current perception sweater right now and then you guys are going to see me in the hoodie 3 2 1 and boom guys we have just teleported into now the hoodie so as you guys can see we've got the stitched perception hoodie and by the time this video has released I may or may not have launched my brand cuz I don't know if this video is going to be released in a week or two weeks so I just want to let you guys know that you can head to the link in the description below and you can check out my personal brand which is perception and find some incredible clothing so let's head on and continue these Adventures and we are on our way how long is it going to take us to get there gentlemen it's nearby like 10 15 minutes 10 15 minutes I it will be take like 10 10 10 to 20 minute hike to get us up to the incredible Viewpoint which is called I wrote this one down kpacho caroo caroo caroo so we'll be there pretty soon and just look at this this is not something you see every day when you have these towering mountains right here in the distance mixed with a blue sky and some clouds you know at the I'd say the last 5 six 7even hours we've been you know in process of flying to arriving here to driving through some of the parts as the clouds move you get a completely different feel of what this place is like and so I I have a feeling this afternoon time frame is going to be nice where you see you know some of the locals starting to finish up work here or you know taking a lunch break for some and and then you know the sun's starting to light this place up in a golden tint which is going to be incredible to witness a Salam brother all right so this is uh downtown scardo city right the main Bazaar here so it's starting to pick up in uh traffic and people we got some like clothing markets on the side get yourself some fresh backpacks over there I guess it is about that time of the year where uh school just started not too long ago backpacks are on sale these days so we got goats down here quite a bit of uh construction as well down in the city so that just goes to show you this place gets a lot of Tourism so they're buil up the uh place to uh be able to handle it oh and look at this the largest advertisement I've seen in all of scardo and that looks delish but after that biriyani we're going to have to save that meal for another day then I like that IH heart oh we got a goat goat out of the way aam brother you good and you all right B chaam all right well I can tell you the locals here in scardo are very welcoming and so I think we're going to have a lot of nice experiences first we got to get ourselves down this tight little road here looks like a oneway see some of the back Alleyways that's about as close oh we got plenty of space on this side look at that and oh yeah look at that could fit another car in between there maybe two or three motorbikes in between that was an easy one we got to go through a tighter spot next time Salam brother shukria shukria by very very good on you thank you thank you thank you all right and it looks like we have made it through oh we had another car a lot of traffic coming down this way hello brother hi all right now the fun begins are we going up yes all right s we're doing a little hike from right here all right look at this view right here that sun is breaking through the clouds and the hike begins I can already tell that I have I'm a little shorter of breath than I was down in uh Karachi and is lamad because we're higher up in elevation so it'll make the hike feel a little bit harder but it's a pretty short one so here we go all right you can see this I mean that's pretty wild to look up straight here cuz these mountains are almost like directly straight up so you can tell I'm out of breath a bit that's embarrassing that quickly I was out of breath it's only been like 10 steps and so what's this thing right here brother this my rest area oh rest area all right well that works out well for me cuz I'm ready to take a rest already W I am almost speechless look at this every way you look it gets better and better oh wow that is an incredible View I'm sure each step's going to get look even better and better and we're going to keep moving looks like we got ourselves a bit of a paved Pathway to get up the rest of the way all right 5 minutes into the hike yeah you don't seem like you're out of breath you're used to this for us it's like a 10 minutes for you maybe half hour yeah half hour cuz I'll be stopping everywhere getting photos videos so it looks like we've got some history the historic kpoo Royal Fort was established in the 14th century ad by mpon ruler bah Khan at a smaller scale it was changed into a huge complex of ninstory Palace and fort by Ali Sher Khan Anan between 1580 and 1590 the fort speaks volumes about the great conqueror it has been termed as the Gibralter of the East by some Western writers it remained unconquered till introduction of the modern arms and artillery oh that's a lot to read while also trying to breathe but look at this like hike we have right here just right on the cliff this is something else oh my gosh this is amazing come on Mr Po we're going to run up the rest of the way let's go gentlemen pull speed oh yeah we've got the white or the blue and uh yellow fence here I can see why they said it's going to take me 30 minutes keep stopping for photo ops all right now I feel like I didn't actually need that second sweater these uh perception clothing items will keep you warm I can tell you that wow each angle offers a completely different view this is the uh secret to not having a beer y belly is doing these hikes right all right going up I don't think they got my joke that that's how you get rid of a birani belly has by climbing after eating birani oh look at this that's an interesting way to hold up the fence looks kind of sturdy whoa yep I wouldn't touch that one now it makes sense why they built a fort up here not easy for the enemy to get up and there it is kucho we're coming for you after we burn a few more calories to get up I'm huffing and puffing look at that that is crazy all right this is the entrance up here asalam alaykum all right foreigners 200 local 30 oh that's quite the hike to get up Salam brother welcome welcome sh all right looks like we're going through this little hole let see what the key is maybe a foot first that worked huh I wonder if that's how the enemy got in before archers Bor Arrow up fire at will where's Harry when you need them for this one look at this window that is a fort right there this is something else incredible views here and you just keep climbing up to the top yes yeah F the vibe in hanza is incredible and the Landscapes there but so far this first landscape is given some competition to hanza that's for sure oh yeah oh we got a little cabin being built this is your guys' new house the post brothers are moving in yeah they love the place so much they're moving in up here I would definitely come stay up here for a month imagine every morning having some beani for lunch some uh eggs and some paraa bread looking at those uh Mountain views while sipping a hot cup of joe AKA coffee M good it doesn't get any better than that are these going to be guest houses up here no they're making their restrooms and all oh restaurants too so yeah these restaurants you'll have to work for your beer Yani 20 minute hike up out of breath and then you Chow Down and look at this just a whole another set of views once we get to this side a more natural look into scar do on this side wow this is so exotic cuz you have this like desert style landscape I mean look at this sand down there then leading Direction into you know similar to what we saw in hanza two years ago this almost turquoise color uh river flowing through while in hanza it was a bit brighter in terms of the color blue not sure if that changes year round I'm sure it does based on the amount of concentrated sand mixing into there but yeah this is truly something else does this whole area ever fill up with water uh no it's is like the levels up not to cover all the places oh okay the summer yeah it's go up not too much just a little bit more than this when what time of the year is it the highest August August okay the water level cuz it rains up here yeah it's the cles melting and all oh right the melting see you can't get this in America you'd have guard rails back there and you'd have to stand from this far here we get to look right over that's the cliff right down there so use your best judgment if you're walking where I am but uh this is this TR goes for the organic it goes where organic Village organic Village are we walking there if you're good to hike yeah we'll go there oh I can handle anything the post Brothers want me to I just stopped for a second and didn't move listen how quiet that is I can't even hear my own brain think right now because there's absolutely no wind resistance that's crazy wow Scaro and now we just Disturbed the piece all right I think this is an ancient writing here m al aiz uh you know what this translates to M like Ali and a subscribe okay oh perfect like And subscribe thank you guys very much shukria oh yeah that's really nice to them I didn't know they knew I was coming all right well look at this we can take a look inside what these places look like all right looks like someone's using this oh well that's not good there and we've got a beautiful view yeah these guest houses are going to be awesome just imagine when these things are done waking up and you can choose which side of the mountain you want to stay in Mr post you're going to have to let me know when these are done so I can come back for another trip that's how when did they expect to have these done like a year next somewh next summer just in time wow so these are 16th century were these homes or were these like part of the fort the for for protection that's pretty crazy though I mean this thing's still standing imagine the last time this thing was moved from its place was over 400 years ago and it's still standing here they built these things really well all right all right climbing up all right yeah we want to survive this one content's too good to be dying on this trip all right and here we go look at this just right there oh just kidding no you guys shouldn't actually joke when you're up here accidents do happen proceed with caution look at that hello oh I could hear myself on that other Mountain oh we're in communication playing Cricket oh playing Cricket down there now have you guys ever seen a better Cricket Stadium than this I think even the uh World Cup going on in India right now wish they had a backdrop like this I mean you can see I mean I don't know how far that is maybe 50 km away those snowcat bonds are so big your uh depth of horizon how far you can see it's just to another level I tell you these types of views just energize you when you're up top I mean I'm sure you guys are still energized coming up here even after coming up your whole life right you just feel alive so they used to 1600 years ago or sorry 400 years ago they used to have what cannons here yeah archers up these are the soldiers defense and then they'd be covered by this yeah so they you'd have to be if you're one of the uh enemies down there you'd have to be incredibly good at getting them because you only have about six 12 maybe 8 cmet to get an arrow through that's not easy soldiers like they watch from here they watch yeah was not like guns and all they use it no bow and arrows even yeah that but they use mostly the stones or oh the stones so he just starts stoning them Archer up ston is up fire at will just like that imagine years ago that's what it was like and look at how camouflaged the fort is you can see the structures from afar that structure looks identical to the rest of the rock I'm not talking about this one I'm talking about the one right up top there and so like from afar I didn't even see where they were pointing at when they said we're going up to the Fort here it's once you actually get close that you can see this thing come together but I mean it's really impressive like if you if you look at the this fort a little bit closer now that we're right here all these uh rocks and stones were just selected to create this and you can see like there's some areas with gaps but in general they filled in most of the gaps with rocks to have this support and hundreds of years later this thing still standing so that's quite impressive I feel like some of the structures we create in 2023 aren't even this strong so is that a local school down there one this area where it looks like kids are playing is that a cricket stadium it's Stadium yeah scarum yeah all right oh and then are those horses down there yes it's a polar ground Gora right that's a Gora yeah Gora yeah Gora you got some goras running around are we going to be riding them you can't oh we can't they are not too I wanted to see Aram hop on the horse and go cruising they are not too friendly oh really yeah you got to be a professional Rider to hop on one of those Polo horses asalam Alum brother nice to meet you asalam Alum brother all right photo thank you thank you sir all right and we have looped ourselves pretty much back around and that's the fort from a 360° view I love it I'm definitely coming back I'll tell you that so we're looking down there what are these crops down there those Farm Fields what type of food is that uh these are corns and other you know the dry grean yeah they potato so we got corn down there we've got potatoes right down in this area the wheat is lost the wheat's gone yeah that's the Brown plots because it's out of season okay so that's cool it's like some of some of the crops are in season right now you can see the vibrant greens and then some of them are out of season with with the Browns so you can really stare at this area for so long and I'm sure even acam would say every time he looks at this view he'll find something new because it's so vast and what you can see that if you stare in this part for like a long enough period of time you're going to see like the village there if you stare here you're going to see what's going on in the polo field this four season is Chang yeah so in the winter this is just all white then covered in snow you hear that we can hear the prayer call it just Echoes through the mountains all right I'd say that's a wrap we made it through the fort now time to go through this uh door again should we lock them out can I close this brother scared him thought I was locking him out I'm just joking brother all right and we have made it out yes brother I scared you there you thought I was locking you up uh I think world NOC yeah I think it's yeah thank you brother Shuka it's nice to meet you let me have a self you oh please yeah yeah let's do it brother uh you from maybe you do food Vlogs uh sometimes yeah yeah food blogs also May American hon yes sir thank you so much thank you brother it's a pleasure to meet you all right we're going to give you guys the fast tour down so when I snap my fingers I'm going to jump and we're going to land at the bottom here we go oh wow guys and we just jumped all the way from up top there that was quite the jump but uh we have made it safe and we still have our feet now we're heading towards the uh organic Trail this way so look at this just a different perspective here I mean up top you can see how far it stretches out here you're almost almost at the top of the tree line level so this will be really cool to see all right so we are going down the trail here what's the significance of this place acam about uh SC or specifically specifically the organic Trail we're on it's very like they do the all organic vegetables there organic vegetables oh very nice and all of the organic vegetables are grown here in scardo are just traded here it's very small town but very yeah it's hard for you no no this is easy guys we're going down the mountain right now this is how we do it oh no this is easy we shall see the viewers are watching closely I'm sure everyone's hearts are beating well so far if we're falling subscribers we're falling together yeah there we go we are going down Avalanche Avalanche we don't want to cause a landslide here do we no we don't and there we go we're getting pretty good we're getting good don't want to jinx it though and look at this oh yeah we're professionals call me perves call me PES wo woohoo success oh that was easy we got to go twice as hard next time no just kidding and here we are we were just way up there at the top now we're down here and you can see where the river or lake part of the river has lost some water over the last couple months month since August and that's why you see those like levels of dirt as it goes down this is a custom Bridge right there it's like half a bridge serves the purpose oh that thing feels a little rickety I think I'm going to stick to the stones wow we are on the edge of glory all right this is incredible AB absolutely incredible shout out to who came and brought the new bridge after this bridge gave out oh welcome to Scaro by no there we go there we go B CH now until next time Brothers we got the kids laughing theys they're from shower side oh they're from Pasa that's why they didn't understand me speaking yeah they're working here oh okay all right that's how locals do he's just running this is not his first rodeo and by Rodeo I mean running up the mountain reminds me of the uh guy that was running across the uh Bridge up over uh aoad River uhhuh all right as you can see we're crossing this bridge right there there would be no way across unless we had this bridge so that's good news all right and we're walking across the bridge looking through there that's just a drop right down makes your feet a little Jello if you're afraid of hike makes me want to sing I'm on the edge of glory you know that song yeah yeah right along the edge so you got to watch where you step but the views are unparalleled to anything I've seen yet in Pakistan oh we're almost to the uh cricket stadium we might have to get a match in charie Charlie charie charliie we got him going all right we're going down there for sure and now we're in the desert we have this fine grain sand right here leading into a forest you don't see this every day trees in the middle of the uh Sandy areas that feel almost like a beach spring water clean Spring Water I can drink it drink it really I don't know if I'm going to try it on the first day though just in case I will try it all right let's see nice little hand wash station oh and he's drinking it and we have made it down to the cricket Squad here they are well they really have to work for the match cuz they had to get all the way over here here to be able to play asalam alaykum charie Char how do I get signed up for a ball oh holy he's sending that one to the river look this this is going to be a running start this guy's going Full Speed Ahead here he goes all right here we go ch ch oh oh he sends that one to to the river someone's going swimming what do you think should I ask them if I can get a hit yeah yeah yeah yeah want you guys fil me can I do one hit brother yes yes I'm not good though oh there we go this one's gone that one is gone that's a six right there six all day baby you tell him to do a slow pitch for me cuz I've I've only ever played it like once yeah slow pitch brother I hold this the same way I hold the baseball bat right like yeah yeah same Sam we go we wouldn't call it a six but we'll call it a three sending him out of there number three number three all right as you guys can see this is why I'm a vlogger and I don't play sports but at least at least we hit a couple balls all right the walk continues kind of an interesting land formation to be walking right near the edge oh yeah slipped right off there oh this is such a peaceful spot and we're getting a break from doing the altitude now we just have a nice easy walk desert you will get the spring water Spring Water yeah and look at this guy right here guys I'm going to add a clip over it so this guy has a customade boat right here which looks like it consists of like a wire shelf and two tires and so he'll take the boat out to this little island set all the hooks along here and he'll leave for the day is what aram's telling me and then he'll come back later and check to see which ones have caught fish now the reason why he's doing it on that side not this side is because otherwise anyone could come and check grab his fish but he's keeping those for himself so that is a pretty beautiful way to uh do it right there so okay I stand corrected those aren't tires they look kind of like inner tubes that go on itum all right no response but we got a wave I'd say that's a good response oh yeah and we're getting into the serious trekking now oh yeah we're going down made it surviv this one first time the whole walk we've passed other people assalam alaykum all right and look at this all this is kind of a built up part of the trail here too stones are stacked and we've got like this exotic almost Rusty in color look to the stones here Orange mixed with like cream white and gray which is quite a contrast of colors when you look here and then you have the blues there the Grays on the other side and after about 25 minutes of walking probably was much shorter for you guys we have arrived to the first organic Village and we have a trail leading through all of these trees seems like another world right now and the Landscapes just keep changing the further we walk into here now these almost look like maybe birch trees oh the sound of a cow or a buffalo or something over there with a little creek going right through probably the fresh spring water and here is the organic Hut look at this you can hear all the cow's making so much noise so where are all the people do they like uh live somewhere else and they come here for the day I they inside oh they're inside right now yeah oh all right these are houses these are houses how many people live in this Village I don't know exactly the figure but it's not too big maybe like 30 40 50 wow and you can imagine how long one one of these fences takes to make first of all you need to find the right stick that's straight and long probably break off the sides of the branches and then wind each one in between each of the three layers of branches so yeah pretty effective though I'm sure animals can't get out and it makes it not impossible but a lot harder for a human to get in you'll be able to hear all the sticks cracking uh if someone's trying to break in and you got to do a long walk to get over here so yeah this is really cool left or right we got an option at the fork what do you think this way all right right it is is so after taking a ride on that fork we have arrived to the Government Primary School imagine this imagine after a 30 or 40 minute walk to this first organic Village your school is right here that is a cool site I like this fence too they've got like multicolors and they've got an interesting build it's almost like similar components of a log cabin yet in between it's infilled with cement so I'm sure that keeps it cool in the summer and yeah quite a high quality gate holding this place together so probably what 20 kids go to the school more than more wow so it's primary school so this is up to like age 12 all right and I'm able to to see the Whiteboard over there I don't think I can see what it says though so there's one room there oh this one's open hello hello nope nobody's home and this is kind of I don't even know how to say this maybe that's a bathroom over there oh it's a cafe wow I would have never expected to find a cafe over here and then a bunch of little like picnic areas all right looks like we're stopping at the local cafe so surprising we've got two cafes here oh it's kind of like a treehouse right up here and there's not too many tables right now place is fully uh fully packed we needed a reservation we'll find we'll find all right right all right we got tables up there brother how are you alhamdulillah alhamdulillah alhamdulillah Maad this is a this is a fish oh freshly caught by you yeah high five nice to

who hold on tght if this thing flips better be holding on to something holy moly we just ripping through Ching right through the desert whoa look at these Landscapes oh my gosh wow we were just ripping through Full Speed Ahead oh we're just drifting right down oh oh we're just drifting right oh I just got blasted in the face with sand really putting the test to what a Jeep can handle that's for sure ask him how often he rolls these things years once once in 3 years do like really years it's been three years I'm I'm shocked charliie we are in the desert look at this Pakistan zind that Echoes through the mountains this is this is something else I'm speechless right now oh that desert sand is such fine grain and with how cold it is I mean it's not super cold outside but because I've been in warm weather it feels cold but you actually feel the uh the sand here and the Sand's almost hot it's not hot warm huh I cold cold desert highest cold desert yeah really that's interesting it's pretty wild how silent it is out here obviously when the Jeep's coming by then you can hear some noise but aside from that sound when it was on the other side of the Hill you couldn't hear anything these sand dunes just capture all the sounds let's see Full Speed Ahead here oh there we go there we go ripping it right on the edge there see if we can make it down I I have a feeling we're going to get stuck here oh and the sand the shoes are filling up with sand moonwalk oh that sand feels good even though it's filling up my shoes all right let's see how much work it is to climb up it's definitely a lot more effort than climbing a typical Hill oh yeah that is a workout gets the legs going no more time yeah let's see how far you make it oh I'm literally like out of breath from that yeah much harder than it looks isn't it it's not that's that's like equivalent to the 20-minute hike yesterday all right we're loading back up in the Jeep chal brother that blows my mind he said that he's only rolled it one time in the it's been three years since the last time especially with how fast they cruise I mean Jeeps are top heading so just means see knows the Desert Sands quite well you have to carry about the stones oh the stones yeah all right so this five speed no no you can but you have to careful about from the stones all right chal boys chal chal all right on ourselves a nice

gentlemen all right well that was an epic adventure until next time desert activities all right and the cruise begins looks like we're going to be weaving in and outside of these mountains right here wow I just continue to be amazed at how beautiful these views are as we're cruising through scardo I mean the GoPro like probably flattens the mountains a bit but just imagine they feel like 20 times higher in real life oh and we're starting to see some Greenery right down here and look at that there's like those little like houses or Villages that I'm guessing you can rent right on the edge there those look awesome all right so we're entering inside the uh local Village what's the name of this Village over here sugar this is sugar Village oh I love the name sugar Village looks like it's school time we've got a bunch of kids with their green uniforms on oh the polo ground so Polo must be pretty popular up here Salam all right there's the fort Serena shigar Fort 1 km this way Salam asalam alaykum and it looks like we are crossing the newer bridge that must be the older Bridge right there across this Creek that is picturesque right there all this was just hen built by Stones just makes you realize how long it takes to build something like this and then this one actually has all like the pavement or the cement to hold it together too all right we have arrived and this is it the shigar fort yes residence so how do we get in we do a three knocks it worked Salam brother all right and here is the entrance Salam alayum brother all right we got to sign in so it looks like foreigners get the 1,000 ticket we don't get the 500 ticket that's the special one Loc if they're local yeah all right all right so we've got ourselves a shop right when we walk in and we're going to be touring this whole fort with a guide in just a few minutes but we're going to give ourselves a little self-guided tour first really cool looking place you can tell it has had some uh remodels over the years in terms of like that's probably a newer cement but they've preserved it quite nicely look at this you just walk out in all these vibrant colors when you get out here this is amazing and then right here we got a little creek we're going to be walking right through custommade irrigation system and it leads all the way over to this little garden with a moat surrounding it so that's really nice what a dreamy place this is such an interesting place to be because you just all of a sudden have this fort you walk out and you have this Garden that has so many types of flowers that just give it this unique feel just a beautifully designed bridge that leads right inside I mean this is incredible and I love be in here during fall time look at those changing colors so we are heading inside the fort now at this the massive Stone here maybe that's how they decided on this location because the stone was sitting right there and they built right off of it ooh this is cool it's got that smell of like an old castle mhm and coming right up here yeah this is really nice and we can walk on here with the shoes all right all right and all of this like old carving well it's interesting interesting to feel the wood I mean it's aged quite nicely just walking through here you can see different things that were part of it that's wood maybe some sort of like cooking pan or something to hold and here's the uh New Concept Lounge this place looks like it's a bit more developed from New Times yeah this is really interesting place there's so many like doorways we have a stair set up there we've got a doorway into the oh that's a mosque right there we've got oh guest room so I guess people are staying in there so people can stay inside the fort and sleep oh that's cool look at this this is the uh King's balcony up here isn't it wow I see why it's the king's balcony obviously you guys probably saw what I what I'm looking at now first mountains towering up there snow Peaks and I'm sure these mountains look almost exactly the same from a thousand years ago besides maybe a little bit of erosion changing the shape hello asalam alaykum brother are you understanding English U uh I know like 10 words in uish yeah pleas listen here if possible okay actually this was the boss Tower security Tower Royal security guard stand over here who look everyone

hens was still here de was used to security purpose approximately that is the 700 years old I can see why they decided to create a palace and Fort over here I mean this is heaven I'm sure it's not the uh the best to be uh in during the middle of the winter but during the summer and the fall time right now this is just one of a kind absolutely gorgeous oh we've got some local Army coming around too hear the sound of them waiting for that and see oh look at that thing flying this low big ass army helicopter right there oh yeah one is the black cherries one is the red cherries both is in this Garden oh okay are these uh new trees or these have been here for few thousand years not 400 years well did they still have uh fruit trees out here a thousand years ago no no one 400 years trees the other Garden that is the plain tree me tree and 400 years old tree I will show you this dat side okay oh perfect let's check it out the oldest and biggest tree of the region that is incredible and it even has a few like more trees growing out of it as well looks kind of like a uh maple tree ever seen a tree that big yeah that's huge Shuka brothera all right goes all the way around so that a nice tour get some history of this fort oh whoa someone was living in here I didn't expect the inside to be Hollow you just come around and uh it's literally Hollow and it's still clearly alive cuz there's uh leafes on it but I guess it it gets all of its water and nutrients through these roots 400 years this has seen many generations of people shukan Allah Allah all right and that was the trip to the Fort that was uh mesmerizing just such a beautiful place I'm almost speechless cuz there's just so much to look at it just has all your senses going from the sounds to the smells to the nature to the colors to the architecture I mean just the bit of all of it is uh there so much to take in in such a good way and it looks like this is where the local villagers do the uh rug cleaning probably clean it in the river and then leave it there to uh dry okay how often do they clean them once a month once a year once a year once a year all right so these things are going to be fresher than they have been for the past year byan we're seeing some interesting looking rocks over here they have like almost like a shiny smooth surface I don't know how well you can see them from here but they're I guess you wouldn't even call them rocks you call them like big boulders everywhere that's pretty wild and then in between that we have like little pockets of the lake and pond so this one's going to be blind Lake that we're arriving to yeah all right blind Lake why do they call it blind Lake I think it's middle of the desert yeah true you can't really see it unless you uh drive all the way in here a little off-roading to get here car under water all right and we're here at blind Lake and look at we've got some uh I'm guessing these are wild ducks but they're hanging out over here some interesting looking ducks right there hello there little ducklings can I pet them yes nope they don't want to be pet they're definitely probably domesticated then hey little guy this little guy's like I'm going in the water I know that human's not going in the water all right oh we got a secret passage way to get in too asalam Alum brother I Wildlife G okay Dy oh perfect nice to meet you yeah what is your name yeah good name by thank you you guys will have to cover this I have no more cash on me I'll get you back at the hotel shom all right the gates of Entry brother thank you so we're here at blind Lake this is a peaceful place to kind of be hanging out I'm surprised they even have boats if you want to jump on the boat we can hop on that boat M boats what a pesque place to be walking through I don't know any other place on Earth that I could even compare this to I mean you got the snow Capa mountains on the right side and here we've got a Crystal Clear Lake are there fish in here yeah there is I don't see a single thing moving over here all right we're looking for some wild B all right so let's ask him why they name this place blind Lake this is black that's why it's black yeah oh okay so from from like looking for most angles yeah that's true it does look black once you're close it kind of has a grain tint but you know from afar it does have this black tint probably from the reflection of the mountains right okay okay and of course like the Sand's like a darker black so that's going to give it a uh darker reflection as well looks like this is the photo op spot we' got the whole squad over here getting some family photos oh and we kind of got like this G uh Bridge like grassy Bridge right here oh almost went in yeah it's hard to imagine up here in Karachi are the same country you know it's just you know you you stand here and you're like this place is so much different than Karachi it's pure nature pure fresh air and there barely any people around whereas karachi's super busy fast-paced and a lot going on can see if we can skip a rock It's So flat ah oh yea
