Hey guys, thanks so much for watching! I hope you enjoyed this recent journey along the Karakoram Highway - such a beautiful corner of the world. I'd love to get your feedback: *What is your best memory from the Karakoram Highway?* Don't forget to give this video a thumbs up and subscribe to FarWestChina: czcams.com/users/farwestchina
wow, Josh, that is an amazing scenery and the life time ride of bike on Karakoram highway road. Some video scenery you took using drone? very professionally done on the aerial video shots.
Thank you, Lawrence! Yes, I was gifted a drone and I've been training myself to use it as best I can. I think it really adds a lot to the overall quality of the videos.
This is a place I've never heard of before but you're right when you say the scenery is so beautiful. Almost surreal, at times, and it wasn't crowded, which is a huge bonus!
Exactly. I think that's a huge benefit to traveling to this part of China...you avoid the crowds that make this country such a difficult place to enjoy :)
This is one place in the world where I won't be allowed to travel mainly because I am an Indian. So this indeed was one of the best travel experiences I've seen through a video! Beautiful drone shots. Hope all countries gel along so that travellers like us can visit all corners of the world without worrying! :)
Wow...I didn't know that. So even thought we're not technically in the Kashmir disputed area, an Indian person wouldn't be able to travel around Xinjiang? Either way, I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for the comment.
It'll be very difficult for Indians to get Pakistani visa to visit border areas. Chinese visas might not be a problem, still some restrictions are expected! :)
This vlog brought back so many memories. I was in Kashigar back in ‘98. We were planning to do the kaokaram hwy on a passenger bus (all they had back then) but a mud slide prevented us from going.
Josh, this video gave me goosebumps! I have bought your Kashgar travel guide last week and thinking of traveling to Karakoram Highway specifically since I am very much into road trip. However, I couldn't find any specific section on that in your e-book. Nonetheless, thanks so much for this video. I live in Yinchuan, although still in the northwest of China, it's still far from Kashgar but I am sure I will make it soon as it seems to be a trip of a lifetime!
Hey Syifa is here too... Seems like I encounter you everywhere I go on social media... Would love to see your travel videos about this area too. Stay Blessed.
Thank you, Collin. Been watching some of your stuff as well now that I've seen you in the WeChat groups. Definitely stay in touch and let me know if you're ever in the Xinjiang region.
Hi Josh, you made a wonderful video, which I really enjoyed. I have been to the Khunjrab top (Border between Pakistan and China) from Pakistani side . The road is newly built and paved one, which is extremely fit for cycle riding. I suggest that you also enjoy the views of this part of the border, which I hope you will really enjoy. Great work keep posting such beautiful travel videos.
I really love this video! It's amazing that you're riding all that way while putting in a great deal of effort to make a high quality video. Great footage to go with the story. Well done 👍
This is pak china friendship road from Gawader port 'to Kashghar .There are plenty of breath taking views.This is going to be world's most bussiest route.
Thanks Josh! This part, Kashgar to Karakul Lake, was the icing on the cake of my travels in FarWest China. My traveling companion for the day was a professional guide for expeditions on the fantastic Mustagata mountain and made my day unforgettable with miriad stories! Keep posting these beautiful videos, Josh!
You’re doing a great job showing off the beauty of this little known part of the world! U really should have your own travel show on TV or Netflix or something. Keep up the great job bud!
So awesome’ I am from Pakistan but watching this breathtaking video from Washington USA. One day I hope to see this border Pakistan China. Thanks josh.
HOW FREAKING COOL!!! We love to cycle and never thought to do it around the world, that sounds amazing. And Karakul Lake is incredible. AND finally- a yurt! Ok living the dream man.
one of my dream journey...karakoram. went to lhasa-xigatse-everest base camp before, and i think everything is similar. from the view, the people, especially those rocks selling business
While watching this incredible documentary about Karakuram Highway, I am missing my hometown, Hunza, even more. The serenity, calmness and natural beauty of this region is full of life.
thanks for this video... I admired the footage taken by drone-cam. You can make much better thousands of videos about central and south Asia, all "stan" countries, since it's marvels are endless.
Well made spectacular documentary. Wish you had also given the name of the magnificent peaks that you passed. Nevertheless it was jaw dropping most of the way.
Absolutely beautifully filmed, I couldn't stop watching! What a way to learn about a place I never knew of. Is it alright with you if I use this in a blog post I'm writing? I'd credit and link to this video of course!
Not a problem at all, Gabby! As long as its for your personal PacksLight website and not a corporate blog, I'd love for you to make use of it :) Are you making your way out to western China anytime soon?
Yep it'll be my personal blog! And I don't have plans to, but including this video I've been seeing more and more of China and Pakistan coming up on my feed lately, and I think it's a sign to start planning!
Words don’t do justice what you done for us is beautiful I’m Pakistani, live in Scotland Uk is peace and love from us to you beautiful video great Adventure sup tequila views beautiful nature all in Pakistan 🇵🇰😊
Was there last year and your video brought back all the beautiful memories. It was worth the trip even though we have to bear with the "natural" toilet facilities. My best memory was wild camels and horses crossing the highway 😍
I love the rainbow and the views of Muztagh Ata. I was supposed to visit Xinjiang in September for a trek to K2 but was forced to cancel because of work commitments. After viewing this video, I'm sure I should have just quit my job and gone ;).
@@willkim4798 no its totally different region its Gilgit Baltistan totally different from Kashmir and it was liberated from Indian occupation in 1947! LONG LIVE PAKISTAN 🇵🇰⚔️
WHAT YOU SHOULD KONW about Cycling the Karakorum Highway. Hi josh, i love your enthusiasm and positivity, you definitively inspired me to go there and cycle it. I just came back. There are a few thing to be said about Xinijang and cycling the Karakorum Highway i feel people need to know: - Your only allowed to ride on the Highway. if you try to wander around the countryside or the villages they will stop you and make you leave. - Since for foreigners there are no permitted hostels between Tashkurgan and Kashgar - > you need to do camping… which again is not allowed. if the police sees you they will stop you & bring you to one of the two cities. - many locals call the police when they see foreigners. - I was chased down by Police and Military like some criminal just for biking along the highway. Definitely an adventure … not always positive though. the landscapes are really amazing :) cheers Ed
Thanks for the extra info Ed! In my opinion, there's no much to see off the main road, so I'm not sure why people would wander the countryside unless you're in Opal or getting near Kashgar. You're right about camping, though. I discuss all this and more in the FarWestChina Xinjiang travel guide: www.xjtravelguide.com
Going there this summer was like a dream came true although we only made it to Kara Kule lake. Hope next time I get to see the other half of the Karakoram highway. Great video!
You didn't got enough views as you deserve. It's super cool! BTW, those people are not selling rocks, that's jade! Those region produce the best quality jade.

One of my dreams is to drive to Xinjiang with my family. But the whole province is so big that the journey might take quite a long time.
This is by far the best and pretty detailed vlog i’ve seen about north of my country. Kudos! 👍

Travel Xinjiang: Far West China but why they call it karakoram thats mean black grave.
Was there last year and your video brought back all the beautiful memories. It was worth the trip even though we have to bear with the "natural" toilet facilities. My best memory was wild camels and horses crossing the highway 😍
So true! I completely forgot to highlight that *wonderful* part of traveling in a very remote area...those toilets are AWEFUL :-)
Really like your travelog, breathtaking landscape shots. I thought alot places in China are off-limits. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful video and Awesome music. Fully enjoy.
Thank you!!
It's nice to see real cloud's!
You should have a disclaimer: "This video contains amazing scenery!"
Ha! Thanks :)
Beautiful scenery. The dune covered hills next to the lake look like they are computer generated, incredible!
Ha! I never thought of it that way. It definitely doesn't look "right" to have dunes next to a lake, though :)
First visit to the channel, you've got a new sub..! Absolutely gorgeous images mate. What stabiliser do you use?
Awesome...thanks! I use a DJI Osmo for many of my stabilized shots. Excellent camera.
I love the rainbow and the views of Muztagh Ata. I was supposed to visit Xinjiang in September for a trek to K2 but was forced to cancel because of work commitments. After viewing this video, I'm sure I should have just quit my job and gone ;).

WHAT YOU SHOULD KONW about Cycling the Karakorum Highway.
Hi josh,
i love your enthusiasm and positivity, you definitively inspired me to go there and cycle it. I just came back.
There are a few thing to be said about Xinijang and cycling the Karakorum Highway i feel people need to know:
- Your only allowed to ride on the Highway. if you try to wander around the countryside or the villages they will stop you and make you leave.
- Since for foreigners there are no permitted hostels between Tashkurgan and Kashgar - > you need to do camping… which again is not allowed. if the police sees you they will stop you & bring you to one of the two cities.
- many locals call the police when they see foreigners.
- I was chased down by Police and Military like some criminal just for biking along the highway.
Definitely an adventure … not always positive though.
the landscapes are really amazing :)
