How'd you like Balakot? Would you try that Chapli Kebab? This clip is from my travel film "My Journey into a Restricted Region." Watch it now at th-cam.com/video/cQB0_ZuD0M0/w-d-xo.html. The journey continues all the way to the China border, through Skardu, and back to India too!
Oh my God, Karl man, only if I knew you're gonna come to my town Balakot, I would have meet you there 😭. Be careful, there could be heavy rainfall and landslides in the north these days.
@@KarlRock I would rather eat the Kebli Paulio rather than the Chaplin kebab, because the Chaplin kebab is made in conventional oils that are usually sitting there for days.
I am from Malaysia, and I've only tasted chapli kebab once here at a tablighi jamaat area in Sri Petaling. It is out of this world, it is juicy, fatty, springy and seasoned with spice nicely. Its just a hamburger patty, but its not!!!! I cant imagine what the original chapli taste like in Pakistan.
@@TANOLI_. He is hardly crying. He is telling the truth. Pakistan is #2 in the most polluted countries in the world list. So the most polluted country can hardly be clean
Balakot is gateway to The Kaghan Valley! Sadly the town was badly hit by the October 2005 earthquake which resulted in great loss of life and property. If you could visit,as a mark of respect, the School there where a whole building collapsed with the school kids inside! BTW, majority of the people speak " Hindko " language!
@@iamthepostman6062umm no, that’s wrong, Abhinandan crashed just inside pok from Indian side after he shot down a paki F-16 during a face saving attempt by Pakistan, after IAF had destroyed one of their terrorist factories
I have spent my childhood in Balakot. In 2005, it was hit by a major earthquake and after that all what you see is built new. You should go to Naran, Batakundi and lake Dudipatsar. Cheers
Got to be said ..after years of doing this Karl you’re the man …Great insights into cultures and places that many of us will never visit ..thanks Karl ..tremendous work
Karl black shalwar kameez suited you very well, you had a good choice. It feels pathan is raoming on the streets. Well ppl come to know that you are not pathan but a respected person from New Zealand.
Karl, Thanx for introducing us to the amazing food of Pakistan…thoroughly enjoying your trip….I always wanted to visit Pakistan. Because of the strained relations it is not possible….but I am seeing it through your lens…lucky u…though I have family there but can’t visit…Love❤ from Bangalore ….your Urdu is impeccable and your attire is superb!!!!
Why are you recently making thumbnails for controversial places of some conflicts in Pakistan ? i dont appreciate it- When are you making a video on where Pakistani Airforce made airstrike in Indian Occupied Kashmir or where Abhinadan was captured in Pakistan? We are open minded people unlike Indians, thats why you can travel Pakistani side of Kashmir but not indian side. Only god knows the intentions in hearts i am not judging that but whats apparent from these thumbnails doesnot reflect good on you, or maybe you are intentionally looking for drama to be famous in india? dont appreciate these clickbaits thumbnail you can do better.
@@MortalXtacywhat is there to like about in Pakistan living hell? Creating compulsive people and sending to all over world to create havoc in the world.

Karl u must visit Chitral its one heck of a beautiful place amd full of its own traditions and also the land of Phakol (Chitrali cap) Waiting for your chitral video 💕 From a fan hamza from Rawalpindi
Hi Karl, the one thing few people know about this area is that, it produces sapphires, rubies, and aquamarine. The price will be 100 times cheaper than the market abroad. Try the trout fish. Good luck n take care
Always loved your channel, and being in finance myself I feel the need to speak my thoughts about what you've noticed in Pakistan. This is interesting because it is happening all over the world. With the USD being the world's reserve currency, when the US Federal Reserve raised interest rates so fast and so rapid while also performing quantitative tightening (pulling liquidity from the system), it has made USD much, much more difficult to obtain. In return it causes other currencies to completely collapse. We also just saw this in Japan last week.
I backpacked through Pakistan just over two years ago and also visited the North just after the devastating floods. Economically this is what happens after America intervenes when you don't agree with them and put in place corrupt politicians.
Livestock, goats are the livelihood of these people, not many opinions available. I've not been to Balakot. Back in 2005 a devastating earthquake had destroyed most of infrastructure, thousands of people died, a total of about 90000.This town has been rebuilt since then.
Hello Karl. In 2005, 7.6 earthquake hit Balakot, killing over 80,000 people. There was massive damages. I visited the place after the earthquake and visited people living in the tents. There were hardly any standing structures. I was suprised to see how much it grew today. Love to watch your vlogs from US.
Two cities were founded on opposite sides of a river by Alexander the Great after his victory over King Porus in now Pakistan. His beloved horse Bucephalus died there and named one of the cities after it. Could you investigate and show us what became of them. Strange that it is not a tourist destination.
Here in Europe you really feel the current situation in Pakistan as you can see young Pakiatanis arrive in 10s of thousands into Italy, France and the U.K.
In Pakistan the elections are stolen and corrupt Army install their puppets. Election are eye washer and the one who is voted by people can never come to power.@@1525boy
The whole city was swift away in the 2005 Earthquake. It was a disaster. That’s what it was known for and they built a new Balakot city. I got depressed when I travelled here and had tears.

What we call indian take aways in the UK (but are predominately Pakistani or Bengali owned and run) sell chapli kebabs as a starter. They look like burgers, taste just like the seekh kebabs (mince lamb) and are seeved with a little bit of salad and a dip. Quite different to what Karl's just had.
Btw Karl, you should upload these type of videos after leaving Pakistan. When you talk about problems in Pakistan. Pakistan army will pick you up and God knows what will happen to you. They recently kidnapped a singer who sang a song against inflation.

Please, never again call what's pakistani as Indian. It's derogatory to Indians and India. Yes, we do have real tasty food. But Pakistani food is made without any trace of hygiene 😂
Agreed…but I still want to visit India one day. I was due to travel to India in 2020 but the pandemic happened. I’m not brave enough to visit Pakistan but it does look incredible😂
