India is the opposite enemy of Pakistan, that's why most of the Indians are criticizing you. Of course, Pakistan is more beautiful and hospitable than India. You are brave. Because you are Indian son-in-law,
@@KarlRock I am from Gilgitbaltistan Thanks alot for visiting our region but I feel your wife should also accompany you but I can understand about her absence and I wish Pakistan India should allow its citizen for tourism.
You have a stomach infection because you eat too much street crap💩. If you go to vegetarian food stalls or try to stick to vegetarian food, you are much less likely to get sick.
Man, I could watch hours of these types of videos, just driving through the mountains and valleys, eating at random food corners in these remote areas, and showing the beauty of nature from all parts of the World. Plus, Karl's commentary also makes it more interesting.
As an American/Puerto Rican foreigner. I am married to a Pakistani woman and live in PK on and off. I did this trip about a month ago myself drove from Karachi to Skardu with the family. Good times. Watching your video reminds me of many the spots I seen on the way to and from. Great content and love your commentary while driving. I made the same mistake following google maps for Glamps. We just called the place and they guided us properly.
your intent to show all these disputed areas to fellow indians is commendable . stunning views and beautifull geography . hope to see this all some day either in this life or next one
I feel like I'm also traveling with you. Your videos are too good. I'm from Bangladesh and I'm amazed to know the real Pakistan. Such a beautiful country.
Nice to see that even in the most outermost reaches of Pakistan-India, there are English speaking officials on hand and who follow passport-border formalities, human politeness and hospitality. Thank You again for showing us your trip..!
I have a big smile on my face throughout the video- I love the high deserts of the Himalayas! I just came back from Ladakh and I loved it so much I’m going back in February for the Losa festival and also to trek with a guide in search of snow leopard. I have a five year unlimited entry visa to India and I am an American citizen- so far Pakistan has refused to give me a visa. One day, I hope! I really want to see K2.
A Hyderabad Adventure for [ @KarlRock Hey KR I'm a huge fan of your channel and I've been following your adventures for [2+]. I was wondering if you'd ever considered visiting Hyderabad, India? The city is rich in history and culture, with stunning monuments and a vibrant food scene. I think your viewers would love to see you explore places like the Charminar, Golconda Fort, and the Qutub Shahi Tombs. And of course, no trip to Hyderabad l
Best yet! The amount of deaths building the roads throughout the Himalayas are uncountable. My turf and 3 decade experience is in Bhutan which is exactly the story. More books, and certainly more films, should be done on this subject to memorialize these workers. Amazing sacrifice.
Man, Karl Rock, I don't know when I or my family will see travel to all these places...it may not happen in our life time and it's very unfortunate. But, thank you so much for what you are doing. I am getting thrilled for sure while watching these videos but it's very emotional as well. To see you literally riding along the Indus river, is a tear jerker for me. That's where our story began, that's where all of our ancestors lived. India lost this sacred place because of partition. Our temples, our entire civilization, everything starts from there and today we can't even go and see all them. From the depth of my heart, genuinely, Thank you so much.
loving this new motovlogs Karl! Keep it up.. One suggestion: Pls keep narrating more of your stories while driving the bike. Just like talking to yourself. Wish your channel more growth!
Karl I have been watching your channel for many years now and just realized I was not subscribed. I was getting your video notifications from my TV. So that is why I never noticed. I am now officially subscribed and always have loved you and your channel.
1:31- This is such a great resource for us gora trying to learn Hindi/Urdu. Knowing the words is one thing, but seeing how they flow in a convo is another. Thank you Karl!
Heyyy i just thought about you now during lunch (12:00 RN in Brazil) and thought about making some samosas later - or try to - and i just open TH-cam and there's a full hour video of yours... Loved it ❤
Gorgeous area. My heart was in my mouth while you were trying to get to the glamping site. Road tyres and deep sand, yuck. What a view from there though! Thank you for the awesome video ♥️
Totally agree about motorcycle travel and it being the best way to travel. Love that you are on a small but perfect bike for the journey. Light, slow and safe, easy to repair and get parts for. I travelled the same for 8 years around the world on various cheap local 125s. 250 is probably the biggest bike I would ever travel anywhere on. Filming, and in my case blogging; sharing with others what you have seen and learned it gives you a real sense of purpose doesn’t it? Blue skies brother.
That memorial you see was a memorial for those who lost their lives building that road, just like China Yadgar. That memorial was in honour of the 7th Engineering Battalion of Pakistani Army engineers and sappers who died in accidents along the carving of the road. Just like China Yadgar where Chinese workers and engineers who died building the KKH were memorialized. I saw many road memorials too in my travels too. A token of their sacrifices.
Hot bothered and dehydrated. 😅The amount of self-awareness 😊 Man glad to see your day turned around. Looks like one of the most beautiful places on earth
Hats off to you for exploring the Indian Subcontinent the way most people in subcontinent desired. However, due to various issues unable to do so.. wish you you good health to explore the globe and peace of mind in everg walks of life and be blessed and loved by all..way to Karl:)
I bet there is no Street View there! :P Thank you for showing us that part of the world Karl! It’s awesome traveling with you vicariously, sitting here in my living room in Australia!
There's not many TH-camrs making this awesome content as what you do Karl, Props I can't get enough of your video's especially when relaxing on a long day of hard working and traveling this is one of the best things to sit down to. 🙏 P.s. 26:22, nicely half on your lane haha also this video reminds me sometimes how frustrating traveling can be even when your mind is having a completely different tour and idea about the day.
Another full film already? What did we do to deserve this 😂 glad to read you're feeling better mate. These are absolute masterpieces. The cinematography is excellent, and somehow you manage to caption these giant videos too. 3m well deserved 🫡
It took me almost 9 hours to watch this complete video... I did not skip a single bit. @Karlrock, I love the way you travel hope to meet you sometime when you come to Kerala
Just follow what locals say about the road condition when traveling here. Usually rock slides happen when it rains so avoid travelling when it rains in this region. Also in these areas refuel as soon as your tank is half empty, because of rock slides sometimes the supplies do not get through.
The story is there right in front of you. This road was built 50 years ago in these conditions and killer mountains surroundig it. So the Engineers probably lost their lives in accidents/land slides. There's a graveyard of Chinese workers/engineers in Pakistan on KKH highway as well. Many lost their lives to build that route too
Great video, beautiful country! Funniest moment was the" oh man" 46:09 because I can relate to it so much as I experienced such moments many times during one of my many trips to India. Thanks this was amazing. I am watching this on my day off with a cup of home mode masala chai.
Just recently traveled to Turtuk village on the Indian side of the Skardu region. Always wondered how it will be on the other side. Thank you for showing this side of the world through your lens @Rock.
eh thanks for showing this place around, I'm from skardu pakistan and my family is too, left a while ago but still love to see videos of back home. and I get why you're using words that favor your indian audience, wish you didn't but guess it is what it is, you live in india so
I'm trying to be neutral. But whatever I do, I'll be criticised. It's one of those impossible situations. That's life. I hope people can instead enjoy all the positivity they'll find in these videos.
Gilgit Baltistan welcomes all our guest with open heart given that they respect our ecology, culture and unique traditions that’s intact for centuries due its remoteness and isolation from the outside world.
Whenever you go to the mountainous regions in Pakistan, ask the people for directions-as many times as you need, every mile if you must. The people will never disappoint you. Google maps are not always good enough. And if possible, meet people as often as you can-it will make your trips easier, informative and more enjoyable. We welcome you, your wife, or anyone-Indian or otherwise-to come “visit this beautiful and diverse region, our people and landscapes”. My best regards to you and your family!
And yeah, the northern areas of Pakistan, particularly the Swat valley, Dir, Kalam and beyond are truly amazing, beautiful and exceptional. You will find the people most hospitable and the region relaxing, dreamy and pensive. Good travels!!!
Don't miss my epic ride through the unforgettable Hunza Valley th-cam.com/video/LNgp16FXtcc/w-d-xo.html

People of Hunza and Skardu have almost no competition. Both get their good share of tourism. BTW thanks a million for visiting my hometown of Gilgit.
Yes gilgit baltistan people are best in pakistan very decent educated people
Hey Karl, You rock buddy. Love your travels. Lots of love from Vancouver Canada
It's a shame I will never visit skardu in my lifetime, what you did Karl is you opened the doors of our imagination for us,thabk you Karl
👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 exactly.
Why not? Youre welcome to visit anytime. Any one in Pakistan would love to host you.
Best yet! The amount of deaths building the roads throughout the Himalayas are uncountable. My turf and 3 decade experience is in Bhutan which is exactly the story. More books, and certainly more films, should be done on this subject to memorialize these workers. Amazing sacrifice.

100 years is small blip in 5000 year history. So it wont be long.
Some of the landscapes are somewhat similar to the one's on the road from Queentown to Glenorchy. Amazing video. Great Work.
I am a first timer ... really enjoyed the ride ... and your ... soulful banter ... :)
We felt your frustration trying to get to the glamping spot. Not sure how any tourist could find it, but what a view! Thanks for taking us with you!
One of your best videos karl.
Love your videos and they are unbiased which is the best thing. Keep up the good work. Thank you
Good luck 🎉
I try, but whatever I do, I'll be criticised. It's one of those impossible situations to be in. Thanks for your positivity.
What a beautiful place!!
What a beautiful video! Thank you for taking us along with you. That road looked really scary!❤
Congratulations on 3M subscribers. I’m loving every video. I’m looking forward to seeing what you’ve got coming next
I like the way he's not too frightened about talking to his community.
TH-cam,ers are very reticent about replying to comments.
Karl is a decent man.
Thanks Karl. I am just back from Pakistan for my first time and I am heading to India in February for the first time 🇮🇪🇵🇰🇮🇳

He does't know that Karl's life is a vacation.

you are in Most Peaceful Region of Pak where majority of Forign Guests visit regularly for Trekking Karakoram. Enjoy your travel.

Loved some of your dialogue today about being more introverted and how travelling brings out your extroversion.

Appreciate you sharing info about you like te computer bit in school lol. It’s nice to hear and relatable

Incredible!!
Just recently traveled to Turtuk village on the Indian side of the Skardu region.
Always wondered how it will be on the other side.
Thank you for showing this side of the world through your lens @Rock.
Turtuk village was in Pakistan. Indian army captured it in 1971 war.
A bit reminiscent of the Kawarau gorge between Queenstown and Cromwell, but magnified 1000 times in scale
Yes. Parts of Otago province in NZ remind me of G/B in Northern Pakistan.

If you just keep your big mouth shut and enjoy the views and local hospitality, isnt simple 😅@KarlRock
Sure are a lot of mountains there. Great scenery. I hope you get better.
Mountain nature view... 🤩
