      @rashidaq actually everyone is waiting for the corona to go in hell and the curfew to be removed to just experience the beauty of the kashmir. But one fact that nobody can't deny is that there are militants who is harming the country only because of that curfew is being applied. I'm saying that because I was in kashmir in july 2019 and rested with a well known muslim family. They only told me......there are militants all over here..and you are safe until you are within the boundary of a kashmiri's home and it was 11PM when he offered us a free stay and food with great assurance of being safe.

    Maybe it's just me: I was touched by the different level of respect that these guys paid to the culture and the people while being abroad. Making the effort to learn a bit of the language, appreciating everything including the hardships with a positive mindset. Thomas respecting the risk, nature and his own limits while giving up on a dream of his was impressive.
    This was a bunch of guys enjoying the experience to the fullest, not a bunch of Westerners hunting for records and instagram posts first and foremost while missing the bigger picture. Respect and I wish you guys safe travels and adventures!

      Totally agree. Having travelled to many remote places the best thing is being with the people there. On my last trip to Kazakstan last year I had the most amazing guide. He couldn't speak English, I couldn't speak Russian or Kazak, but we just striked up a proper friendship. That was last summer and we're still in contact with each other now. Difficult travel is the most rewarding, seeing the most amazing of places.

      The most famous highest peaks are not the best or nicest or most technical. That goes for mt blanc, Everest, Kilimanjaro and many others. HOWEVER it’s nice to tick the popular famous ones off and good beer banter. No benefit down the pub/bar in bragging about summiting a peak no ones heard of so it’s nice to name drop some that they recognize 😆

    Heart it my throat, sweating palms, fear and excitement for the adventure, I hoped you all would come back from and the aching feeling of something I'd never experience myself. My son has been here, walked frozen rivers up passes, climbed, stayed within tiny villages, drank yak tea, snowboarded unknown places and now travels the world guiding. As a mom it is an anxiety riddled feeling to see so intimately through this film what he actually experiences, as a human who longs to be so addicted to something that I'd risk so much I rejoice in his life. Taking deep breaths myself to relax now after watching this amazing adventure. What a film, thank you for sharing this epic experience.

At many points while watching this documentary, my eyes were filled and I kept getting goosebumps. If only I had the resources to explore my own country like this, I would've never left. Every day I watch these documentaries, look at the beauty and unique nature Pakistan has to offer and my heart keeps drowning more and more realizing the fact how far I am from my heavenly home. I THANK YOU guys for producing such a wonderful documentary, full of emotions, full of joy and full of adventure. Pakistan has been through a lot, she really deserves to be seen and perceived like this. Love you guys for this, you guys are amazing. ZABARDAST

Biggest manufacturer of footballs, soccer balls in the world. 2nd biggest producer of dates. 4th biggest producer of rice. Largest water irrigation network in the world Alhamdulillah.

    What an amazing, picturesque, stunning, breathtaking film/documentary! If only Game of Thrones producers could have shot some beyond The Wall scenes. I am pretty sure the night walkers would have frozen their ass off here. I had no idea Pakistan was so amazingly beautiful. I did some googling and was amazed to find out that 5/14 eight-thousanders peaks are in Pakistan. They have 108 peaks above 7,000m and 4,555 peaks above 6,000m and infinite peaks above 5,000m. The whole of N. America has 1 peak around 6,000m and not a single peak in Europe above 5,000m. Unbelievable!!

    • @hassanaftab1270

      The terrorism starter in 2007. Why? Because pakistan is partnering with usa against war on terror. When American bombed Afghanistan, some of its government came to Pakistan. As there was no concept of border between 2 countries. Both have shared cities and towns and villages on zero line.
      When we side we usa. There is a resentment but when usa started bombing us, to hunt those Afghans who have hidden in pakistan and many pakistanis too die in those attacks. That created hate and the attacks started against Pakistani government for siding with usa.
      This was not our war. We sided with usa and that why we are punished.
      But we have done huge operations in 2013 to clear our areas. Border with Afghanistan is fenced.
      Its just 30 to 40 lakh Afghans refugees who create problems. But things are much better now. This area shown in documentary never seen any terrorism or even crime. The police stations are just empty.

      True 👍💯. Those slopes were risky and on top of that deep ice. And elevation above 5000 meters. unless you are 100% sure and in the element.

    WOW! That is one of the best videos I've ever watched on TH-cam. I wish there were more skiing and adventures stories out there that grabbed my attention and drew me in as well as this one. The storytelling was sincere and the respect to the mountains and the people of Pakistan was obvious. Kudos to everyone who put this together and made such a memorable film.
