- Hello Pakistan! We've been looking forward to meeting you for quite some time now!
Entering via the Wagah border was a smooth process with friendly officials welcoming us into their country. To check in to Pakistan was just a matter of getting our passport stamped (we'd already applied for our visas via the embassy in Australia) and getting our Carnet de passage filled out, which all up took about 30 minutes.
Our first stop was Islambad, Pakistan's capital city. We'd been in contact with a local guy Sana for a couple of months and had organised to meet up with him. Arriving at Sana's place we also met Monica and Alec, a Polish couple who are riding their motorbike from New Zealand home to Poland.
We needed to have the Troopy's swivel hub checked out whilst we were in town as we'd noticed a grease leak just before leaving India; so first thing first we went to Auto Club (a highly recommended mechanic) to have the guys take a look. A full days work was required to get everything back the way it should be and thankfully the guys at Auto Club got us in straight away. We'd actually been hanging out for doing some car maintenance and buying some spares as Pakistan is home to a lot of Land Cruisers!
In the couple of days we had in Islamabad Sana took us to check out the city which included a visit to Faisal Mosque, the fourth largest mosque in the world which was a gift from the Saudi King Faisal, for which it was named after.
After a few days of getting the Troopy in tip-top shape and checking out Islamabad the weekend had come around and Sana had planned to take us exploring to Chitral then to Kalash (next episode). Note: I'd laughed with Mark about how the plans I'd made for Pakistan went completely out the window when we met Sana. He had different ideas for what we'd be getting upto and we definitely weren't complaining!
On the Friday afternoon Monica and Alec jumped in Sana's car (Land Cruiser), we both filled our tanks and hit the road heading first for the village Dir, about 300km from Islamabad. We spent the night at a friend of Sana's private guesthouse which looked over the village. We felt like royalty being up there!
The next morning we continued on to Chitral, 115km further up the valley. As it was mid-Spring the roads in some parts were quite muddy as all of the snow was melting which meant a bit of 4x4 was necessary. This combined with a few water crossings, the winding roads and beautiful scenery made for an amazing day of driving!
That's it for this episode! As always thanks for watching! In the next one we'll be venturing further into the mountains to the village of Kalash.

@Ronald Joseph O man ! Such TANGA BAANS need to learn it from the neighbors. They are blood thirsty of each other in national politics but they never show their sympathy with any political party on any international forum . On the other side we have such morons. May God help us.
@Ronald Joseph wo Indians ka Kam ha India aesy hi sab sy Bari Ovary ki Mandi to nahi ha.
Our current PM is against building motorways. NS is in jail because he built motorway and lowari tunnel.

Walikum as Salam jzak ALLAH thanks terimakasih
Thanks bro lots of love and respect to Malaysia ❤️🌹wassalam
Chitral my home. If you are still there try to visit two less documented excellent places: birmoglasht and karimabad valley up to the end of valley.
Best of luck
I am going to Hunza/Chitral with my family and few foreigners next week. Heard about Karimabad a lot but no idea about Birmoglasht. Hopefully it's near Karimabad, will definitely check it out. 👍
@@Murtaza010 birmoglasht is very close to chitral town. It's a hilltop area just above chitral town and little adventurous drive. Karimabad valley is very adventurous drive of nearly 3 hours+ from chital town but once you reached grass land at the end of the valley you will be very happy with your journey.
@@Murtaza010 there ars two karimabads one is in Hunza valley and another one is in Chitral.
Oh okay thanks man! Then, I think I have heard about Hunza's Karimabad. Absolutely no idea about one of them!
@@Murtaza010 yes Hunza's Karimabad is very famous.
So good work guys..waiting for more videos from Sweden 😘❤Pakistan

What great roads in the valley around Dir!! One question, why did the police escort you to Sana’a friend’s house? Just because the roads were so crazy and it was dark?
So cool hey! Just you wait till the next few episodes!
We'll go into it a bit further in a couple of episodes time though basically the Pakistan government offers complimentary security for foreign tourists in certain areas of Pakistan as a (extra?)precautionary measure. Since 9/11 the tourism here has suffered a great deal and is only now slowly making it's way back up again so they're just wanting to make sure that nothing bad happens to tourists.
It should be said though that we never felt unsafe here and the Pakistani people are extremely hospitable and probably the friendliest that we've met! 😃
@@TheWayOverland Awwww !!!!!! you've increased the amount of blood in our veins by recognizing our hospitality.Stay Blessed
John H. Moore yeah dir has nice roads and the clearings look so beautiful
Dir roads: they haven't adopted main roads. Secondly Pakistan is a poor country (it's economy suffered a lot due to post 9/11 scenario). Don't compare Pakistani roads with Europe or US.
2. Police man: although Pakistan has defeated terrorists and miscreants but still they are hiding in Afghanistan and we have a lengthy border with Afghanistan. So as a precautionary measure a policeman was escorting them. (Note that a single policeman can't protect anybody. It's just a formality)
Lok Virsa Museum was a good option to visit. It was near too.
The guy on the motorcycle at 7 :15 is my friend he would fell great if I show him this video
Really..?😅
Well come to Pakistan 🇵🇰❤️
I cant stop commenting
Oh my god really u are a great vlogger
🇵🇰❤❤❤
Ah thanks! Stayed tuned for the next few episodes on Pakistan!

پاکستان اک دنیا سے چھپی حویلی جنت ھے جو قابل دید ھے خوش قسمت ھیں جو پاکستان دیکھنے آتے ھیں اور پاکستانیو کی محمڈن نوازی سے اور جنت نظیر کو دیکھنے سے لطف اندوز بوتے ھیں یقین پاکستان دنیا میں اک جنت کا ٹکڑا ھے سیاحوں کو اگر سکون قلب مطلوب ھے تو پاکستان کو سب سے پھلے دیکھنا چاہیے یقینی کامیاب و کامرانی ھوگی اور نہ جانے کیا کیا شبانی یادوں کو سمیت گے پاکستان زندہ بار

Im from dir and Chitral is like 1 hour from us. Welcome to pakistan i hope the people treat ye well. Just watch out on the roads becuse people drive like crazy, for us its normal but you'll find it difficult
DEEP LOVE FROM PAKISTAN💖🌲🌷👌
Welcome to Pakistan. That discipline you witness of motorway is because of the strict implementation of law. On other highways that might not be as pleasant.
The other roads in Pakistan were also great for adventure!
Thanks to visit us...love u from Islamabad hope u will enjoy Pak journey
im from Dir beside chitral and haven't been there in a year and hopefully ill visit my family next year. this was fun to watch and see my place and great video
Welcome to my Beautiful country Pakistan. Also goto the Northern areas Of KPK .
That was really beautiful. Welcome to Pakistan.
Thanks! We've still got lots more content to share from our time in Pakistan! 😃
@@TheWayOverland Then im really much excited to watch all of it. I hope it changed your perception about Pakistan. Media is not telling the truth.
We've known that for a long time.. We're excited to show everyone what the media doesn't show about Pakistan!
@@TheWayOverland Appreciated 👍
Welcome to Pakistan
It is awesome. Thanks for showing this part of Pakistan. Awesome.
You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed watching!

Pakistan is land of pure people are very hospitable here friendly and warm welcoming Pakistan has all weathers and all kind of terrains natural beauty and full of love if we put politics aside and visit Pakistan by own experience then we may know what really Pakistan is i love Pakistan and i am living here I'm happy ❤️🇵🇰❤️
So nice of PakMil to chaperone you guys ! Sanaa sounds such a jolly person with all the right connections everywhere... becoming such a nice guide for ya'll, travelling those hundreds of Ks, abandoning his day-job and all...
Must say though, I miss the random camping you guys used to do before.
We were very fortunate to meet Sana and for him to change up our plans as without him we wouldn’t of had this amazing and unique experience ☺️
In the next episode we’ll be back to doing what we normally do! ⛺️
Love and respect from Kashmir Pakistan. Welcome to our beautiful country 😊 Hopefully you may enjoy our hospitality.
