- Up the Khyber Pass (2000) - Tourists and smugglers alike are now following in the footsteps of Alexander the Great, Genghis Khan, and the British Raj.

Surrounded by the mountain shadows, the railway cuts through amazing rocky inclines. The pass still looks like and indeed is a wild frontier, existing largely beyond the laws of Pakistan. When the train is not running, an army of smugglers can be seen marching down the track carrying TVs, stereos, drugs and guns to trade in Peshawar. The Khyber Pass Steam Safari rides under the protection of local militias, out to spot passing Pashtun tribesman and smugglers taking potshots at the train. The Khyber Rifles are still stationed in the Pass, although today they concern themselves with dancing for tourists. Beyond the guards of the Khyber Rifles lies Afghanistan, and the end of the line. A sumptious report offering spectacular scenery and rich history.

Every time I watch one of these old travel videos I can’t help but wonder what it’s like there today.
Well you can type Khyber pass or Peshawar on TH-cam you can see how it is today, plenty of tourist visiting Peshawar and doing vlogs there, im planning to visit there but im more intrested in the far north of pakistan, the famous hunza valley probably the best valley in the world
not that different
I visited it in 2018 and the floods had destroyed the train track. I think it was later restored and the safari trains are on the move again. I still have about two weeks left in Pak, so a good idea to visit it again
Politically I believe the tribal areas have been abolished and are now under the control of the federal government
@@kayzeazano it's still the tribal areas of Pashtun tribe. Government has no actual rule over Pashtun tribes
My great grandmother's family migrated first to Bombay and then to Peshawar from Iraq under the British Raj. I suspect ours was one of the very few Jewish families in NWFP. My great grandmother ended up marrying a local Hindu man and thus subsequently the family moved back to present day India again upon the partition of the country. I don't know much about my family's history in Peshawar but do know that they lived there for around 10 years in the 1920s. Watching this video opens up a world that I would dearly want to explore but haven't yet. One day, maybe I'd be able to see my great grandmother and great grandfather's house in Peshawar.
jewish hindu couple so rare
@@gweher43 Not really. I know many Jewish Hindu couples in the UK and the US.
+@Devyan Utsav
Why only 2 options? May be Fed_Express is neither a hindu nor a jew.
What a fascinating comment and tale. What was the reason for the migration to Peshawar ? I can only imagine there were very very few Jewish people in that area at that time (although perhaps more than today). At that time, it would not have, ethnically and tribally, been very different from today - primarily Pashtun tribes. And when your great grandmother fled from Iraq under the British Raj, had she fled from a Jewish community there ? Do you still have, perhaps, extended family in Iraq ?
Wow your story seems very interesting, my family also moved during partition. How was your life in India
I am still living here. It changed alot. Specialy in last 20 years. As government continues did search operation, so there is no more drug and guns. The railway tracks is badly effected by floods. Because of it i never seen train on this tracks nearly for 20 years.
I am not good in english but i hope everyone understood. In the last of video train is passing through 2 tunnels. At the end of the video, the train is passing through 2 tunnels, our house is just across these tunnels.
So it's in Pakistan?
Our family was from Lahore before Partition. My Maternal grandfather ( Nanaji) servd as assistant station master at Landi kotal. He used to tell us real life experiences at Railway Station. Whatever I see in this video corroborates his life and daily routine at Landi Kotal. We , as a child used to listen interesting facts about life at remote places. He also remained at Pasrur, Daska, Mandi Bahudin, Sialkot. After partition he was posted at Ferozpur City in India. The lifestyle of people seems same today. very well made video. Thanks and Congratulations to makers. Old memories rekindled.
Hary singh your nostalgic memories must have been stirred to the bottom.may your grandfather rest in peace amim
My mom was an Afghan lady... I wish if I could visit Afghanistan 💖
Are you Hindu?
You seem to be a hybrid 😂
I visited Landikotal nearly 50 years ago by road. Then there was no rail link to Landikotal or Afghan border. Enjoyed your video, Thanks.
can't you make more of a comment on this video besides the fact that you visited and added no rail link? how about more info about the video content?
Railway has been there since 1920s
Wow really wonderful! I'm from Khyber the railway line is still here but no 🚆...trains 😥.
Pakistan has no money bro. I bet Afghanistan will do much better in 10 years than Pakistan.
Yeah apparently it was because of some incidents with the natural environment
need to open it again.
How long the whole Khyber Pass Road is?
I and my husband, just after our wedding visited Landi Kotal, we were young and filled with a sense of adventure, we roamed around the bazaar and had the most delecious chapli kebobs, the people were so loving and friendly, I still remember that visit!
Wish I could be with you
@@yfhello me too
Where are u from?
that's because you are white, they love white people.
You visited Shaheen Shah Afridi's homeplace!
That's so awesome to see a steam engine still up and running, I gotta visit that place sooner than later
It’s no longer there

@@ashutoshyadav7385Pashtun conquered India
In the Past and bought many progressions and true justice under form of Islam to India.
Before the Mughals. Pashtun ruled what is now Most of Northen India up to Bangladesh. The Rupee system and Grand Trunk as well as Postal system were introduced by Sher khan Suri - Pashtun King of India
Sadly today it was taken over by the Mughal because the legendary king Sher khan Suri of Bihar passed away
I would love to ride it one day.
Proud to feel. Once upon time it is India. Jai Hind

Sorry Khyber pass was never a part of India
@aditya_sharma1 khyber pass was the part of Afghanistan and then tribal belt you surrounded to British and we were independent we pashton fought 15 wars against brits and you remained loyal to them stay away from us
Great documentary portraying a slice of history. Thank you..
From Bangladesh and thank you very much for this presentation
If british didn't ring train these people would have never seen how train looks like...
Obviously British brought trains to entire Asia africa
Before Soviet invasion, these people had seen the world crossing this pass.
Just like india?
Thank you, lovely mountains and people.

Stations:
1) Peshawar city
2) Peshawar cantonment
3) Jamrud

11) Landi Kotal
12) Torra Tigga ( 3rd Reversing station)
13) Landi Khana ( 4th reversing station)
Victor Bailey was the engineer who supervise the constraction of Railway line.
There are 32 Tunnels and 92 Bridges & Culverts in 58km railway Track
Track passes through mountains terrain, reaching height of 1200m (3,900ft).
On 3rd April, 1926, the railway track was extended to Landi Khana, just 3km from the Torkham Border crossing with Afghanistan.
In 1932, the Landi Kotal to Khana section was Closed as the insistence of Afghan government
Regularly Scheduled Rail services continued between Peshawar and Landi Kotal until they ended in 1982, due to lack of commercial value.
In 2008, mansoon rains in the Khaber Pass washed away significant Section of the Railway lineand the track was closed to all rail traffic.
In 2010, Pakistan Railway began a FESIBILTY STUDY, to rebuild the khaber pass railway track and to possibly extend it further to jalabad. Afghanistan.However, work is slow due to security reason.
In 1916, the Afghan Ministery of Public Works began a survey of the Railway track from Pakistan boarder to Jalalabad.
Afghanistan has put also proposal and requests to further extended the railway to Kabul City.
The Afghanistan Chamber of commerce & Industries (ACCI), said that the new Railway line would facilitate trade with Pakistan.
I love old train videos 👍👍
Carrying gun in America too is a birthright!
brothers in arms
Conflict scene is never far from khyber
Admires to British, how they Disperarately fought... And many more..
Great Video, as others have said here I wonder if this train is still running today. If you could even visit and take this same journey today. This was before 911 so things have surely changed. But still cool to see
Don't think the tourist train runs anymore and it's out of bounds now for foreigners, but they do have regular train service to Peshawar nowadays. Just search for 'Peshawar train', there are a few videos available....
it dose not run any more.. but people including foreigners can drive all the way to the border crossings i recorded it on my channel
TRULY MAGNIFICENT.
Love from kashmir ❤️

Wow what an incredible akhand bharat was before partition.
This land was not a part of “Akhand Bharat”
Amazing. 20+ years ago Tourists from western countries visit Pakistan and bring along their family. How times changed
Love this❤️. A history with train.
Intruders came to India through this pass 😢
North india. South through sea.
Very nice.. Thanks .Fantastic coverage,

Remarkable railway. I wonder if it still runs, and who ran it, if it no longer runs ? I would love to learn the history of this railroad in depth
Please don't go Alone over there ,,, Railway is Made by British Rulers in some how 1900 ,,

Enjoyed ur video. I red in History books about Hindu Kush thru this passage several invaders invaded on India.
The land of hashish opium and guns, pure heaven for me.
There's no rule there. One of the tribesmen from here founded the entire concept of Heroin trade
He lives freely here but passed away few years ago. Here no government rules. Truly a land of the free

The British garrison agreed a peace treaty and were attacked and massacred including women and children while retreating down the Kyber pass, they later returned and levelled Kabul. Hardly a big defeat.
Fantastic 😊
Read” Caravans “ by Michner
hindu kush means hindu mountains..the range connects to the himalayas
Hindu Kush means exactly what the narrator said in this video. It can further be explained as a killer mountain for ones coming from India to Afghanistan. It probably means ruggedness of the terrain and ferocity of Pashtuns of this area.
@@AnnManMS lol... Ur ancestors were hindus upto 10 century.

Afridis please reply to this comment ❤❤❤
I doubt "Hindu Kush" means Hindu killer, . Google translates Killer to Pashto as قاتل "Katil"
Which is nowhere near the word "Kush"
Please Donot make your own translation
It's in Farsi. Kush means killer. kushi is killing. Katl is Arabic.
Hindukush does mean Hindu killer. Back in the days when Afghani and Kazak rulers after plundering India used to take a lot of slaves from India (Mostly Hindus) who couldn't survive the journey back to Samarkand or Bukhara and thus the mountains came to be knows as the Hindu killer mountain or Hindu Kush. It's ironical though because the Hindu Shahis did not get expelled from Afghanistan till 11th ~ 12th centuries. When it refers to Hindus it's mainly talking about current day people of Punjab.
Google translates Killer as
قاتل
In Persian
Still it is not "Kush"
I can read, write Arabic, Urdu , Farsi letters.. I may not know all the meaning. But Google is there to help. Sorry "Kush" did NOT translate to "Killer" in Persian
@@FerdausAlAmin
Qatal is the Arabic word for murder or killing. Qatil is the murderer. Kushi is murder in Farsi. Kush is the word for murderer.
@@hawkingdawking4572 I looked up in Farsi/Persian. There also Google Translater gives "Katil" as "killer"; not "Kush". Only conclusion, Google may be " incorrect "!
Wonder if they use that train still
