Journey Through Pakistan - Travel Documentary

Few countries in the world offer so much diversity as Pakistan, a surprising and eye-opening travel destination. From spectacular mountain scenery and intriguing historic landmarks to vibrant cities and charming villages, full of welcoming people.

In this video, I take you all the way back to 2010, when I traveled through Pakistan, from North to South. This is, in a way, an historical journey, as many things have changed. But I still hope this video gives you some travel inspiration, or at least provides a glimpse into this incredible place.

From the challenging Karakoram Highway to the bustling streets of Lahore and Karachi. From the rugged mountain landscapes in the Indus Valley to the organized streets of capital Islamabad. And from the friendly villages in the Hunza Valley to the fun and entertaining Wagah border ceremony.

Here’s a brief overview of the content in this video:

In the first part of our journey we traverse the mighty Karakoram Highway, one of the most impressive engineering feats in human history. Starting in Kashgar, China, the highway makes its way South towards Islamabad, among challenging terrain and breathtaking mountain landscapes.

After passing Karakul lake, the Pakistan border, and Attabad lake, we reach the Hunza Vally, one of Pakistan’s most beautiful regions. Here we explore friendly villages and get a sense of rural life. After a day trip to the imposing Hoper glacier, we continue our way to Skardu, to enjoy more amazing natural scenery.

We take a plane to Islambad, with views of the Himalayan ranges, and arrive in the nation’s capital. While there are few specific points of interest here, it’s interesting to wander through the organized streets of this planned city. A highlight is the Shah Faisal Mosque, one of the largest mosques on the planet.

Not far from Islamabad is Rawalpindi, which perhaps provides a much better introduction into urban life in Pakistan. While the bustling streets and narrow alleys are a joy to explore, my favorite place to visit here was an area with truck workshops, where people decorate (and maintain) trucks and other vehicles.

Our next destination is Lahore, considered to be the cultural capital of the country. We visit some incredible landmarks, such as the Lahore fort and Badshahi mosque, and enjoy the vibrant streets, meet friendly people, and taste some of the delicious food.

A few kilometres from Lahore is Wagah, venue for a spectacular border ceremony with India, that is both theatrical and serious. We finish our journey in Karachi, the largest city and economic center of Pakistan.
