Tajikistan's Black Lake On The Roof Of The World
ฝัง

- Do not miss this incredible chance to catch a glimpse of one the most isolated parts of mountainous Central Asia; the astonishing area around lake Karakul that has not been filmed for television prior to this documentary.
This remarkable journey will take us to Tajikistan; the Autonomous Province of Gorno-Badakhshan, to be more precise.
Environmental expert, Jamshed, is travelling via the twisted and uncertain "Pamir Highway" to investigate a possible threat to the natural water supplies of the area; glaciers shrinking.
The final point for the expedition is the exceptional Karakul lake, placed high in the Ak- Baikal pass, 4655 meters above sea level, where Jamshed is to meet with geologist Nasser Kundur Al- Fakhry.
Along the long and somewhat neglected "Pamir Highway," the crew makes stops to the famous hot springs of Garam Chashma; the 3000 year old, pre-historic petroglyphs of Langar, and the Yamchun Fortress from 12th century overlooking the entire Wakhan valley in Afghanistan.

Praise for all Iranian peoples
Such an unspoit surrounding, serene and beautifully majestic. Thanks to the crew who made this documentary available to the world. To the people and their lifestyle in Tajikistan love 💘and peace.
I agree and wonder why the West is not bombing and poisoning the charming and healthy inhabitants
That annoying , ever present music spoilt the otherwise splendid program, to the point, that , I had to switch to something else
Nice looking people.
Unspoiled except perhaps for the landmines which make it very dangerous to walk away from the road.
I grew up in Tajikistan but never have been in outside of my hometown. I feel regret that I missed so much beauty. Hopefully I’ll go to see those places one day
Whats your region language we gilgit baltistan from pakistan have same culture n way of living dressing style and others pls tell me iam from gilgit baltistan
tell your government to develop these area.
@@abdinooribrahimderiye641 I wish my government would listen to the people
Why the Government of Tajikistan does not finance the forestation of those mountains ?
@@nickcohen7127 because government full of people with no basic education since all of them put their families, relatives and friends in every structure, also Russia supports current government and keeps in power because it’s easier to have a puppet and suck up the natural resources and to be close to Afghanistan. And Russia had a plan to invade Afghanistan in 90s but Chechnya’s invasion took a lot of time and money so they could do that, they were planning to be ahead of the US
This is by far the most awesome documentary i have ever seen. Thumbs up to the whole team who endeavoured to make this beautiful film. I almost got lost into the movie and felt myself there in the middle of those epic mountains.
Much love from Pakistan
Have you check the channel Slice? They have good documentary too
You’re being just a little dramatic
@@Jimbo0341usmc why
For these beautiful people living on the roof of the earth a lot of love flows from India.
Thanks for showing such an amazing documentary.
14:08 is about the coolest hat I've ever seen! Perhaps the most beautiful music I've heard in a documentary too. That scenery is just achingly beautiful.
Didnt expect to watch the whole documentary but I was surprised when it was over. Im an American, my sister and her husband has been to Tajikistan and love it, the people are so nice. I hope to travel with them some day.
Thanks for such excellent documentary showing simple and good people living in such natural but hard conditions Stunning!
Your documentaries are of highest quality!!! Well done! And very interesting.
thank girl...beatiful girl...tq
A most wonderful documentary about a place of heart stopping beauty and equally heartbreaking harshness. Yet the life of the nomads has a Primeval pull a tug a strange sort of invitation that mocks modernity. The music was of another level. All in all just perfect! Well done DW!!
Modernity does not mean negation of tradition dude. It's also a fuzzy word. Ancient world like India etc was in some sense more modernistic than even today. It's a relative term not an absolute in itself. Even Nokia phones see considered outdated today which were once considered modern.
Amazing have no words, such peaceful environment with lovely people and natural harmony. There are no shopping malls roads eateries offices luxury cars hotels etc but peace and peace everywhere.
Fresh non toxic fish which are sold very expensive in supermarkets,organic grass fed animals,fresh organic vegetables and fruits high in minerals and vitamins
I could be mistaken, but the way of life of these people is at risk and it's not just global warming!
A beautiful video.
They don't deserve to be exposed to any risk.
So true
true.
some years ago i visited armenia, and the feeling is similar outside the capital.
and caucasian food is delicious.
and no trump or american or grits.
A great and true documentary. My salutes to the makers of this amazing documentary.
the most visually stunning documentary I`ve seen, the choice of music background made it almost fairytalish, excellent work
God bless those hard working people. I am humbled by their courage and endurance.
I'm humbled by your beauty
Thank you, madame. I live in there and welcome to Mein Land !

What an incredibly beautiful place. Great documentary.

What an astonishing documentary! Very grateful of what I watched. The complexion of life was almost nothing compared to how people there living with harmony and peaceful communities as well as surrounded majestic nature. Thanks a lot for the team who did the video! Keep up the good work!! Stay healthy and happy for you and all!
PS: glad to know that the people have their own natural medicine from the lake!
A very interesting documentary of an area on this planet that very few of us know anything about.
What stunning beauty! There is no country like high, mountain country. This is probably the closest I’ll ever get to visiting “The Stans” in Central Asia, so I’m happy to learn a tiny bit more than I did before, thanks.
You could visit carjackistan within Chicago.
Great documentary! Tajikistan is beautiful. The people have found creative solutions and have adapted well to the limited resources around them. Wish I can visit the country one day.
Also, thanks for being respectful to the people there even though they have a different lifestyle than most of us.
It's beautiful.. I'm speechless..
Amazing documentary...very scenic and with facts.
Fascinating film. I love the way these people live with nature and use nature in their daily lives. Building, weaving, making felt, which if you have ever seen photos of people similar to these who live in high mountains such as the Himalayas, thick felt is used in clothing and shoes for protection from bitter cold winter weather. Beautiful people. I’m surprised they are so happy to accommodate visitors and tourists. I see much kindness there which would be nice to see in other places. I hope that no one will ever take advantage of their kind and welcoming nature.
Great documentary. Shows well the power of nature and extreme hardship of everyday life.
And the Brit narrator fits right in to ruin it.
@@edgarhelbling6525 Oh come on he has a lovely clear voice. Did you want the commentary in the local language - that wouldn't be much use to anyone.
Your documentary exposes the world to what other cultures are like and the truth about the changes
in our atmosphere.
Good documentary. The video / quality and close up view of this place is really top notch.
Beautiful place. Thanks for this beautiful and well made documentary.
These are awesome documentaries from TRACKS,,,,THANKS.
Very nice documentry on Pamir highway ( unseen Tajakistan) So beautiful is your country & it's people. So natural life away from the materialistic world. So pure so Natural, like a true soul. 🙏
Watching this from Florida. These people are incredible. Things like this really make you appreciate what you have. I would love to go one day and stay in that Yurt. The food looks amazing; it must be an incredible amount of work. I would so appreciate it.
5:55 ..Fresh water is the "most precious recource" of _any_ nation ......You can have all the gold in the world , without fresh water you've got a desert. Thanks for this beautiful HD upload .
Extremely gorgeous landscape. Wow. I love it.
Have you all noticed how clean and neat these people live.
Only modern day Society creates unnesery material clutter Da
plastic is the evil. community who use less plastic always cleaner.
we only got to see the Show yurt..obvi it's tidy..everyone is different, might have one or two messy ones
this is beautiful.....scientific, cultural and natural....u cover all the aspects of life!
Scientific ??
These people may not even know basic science. They live in primitive society.

I love Tajikistan and Tajikistan nations.very nice documentary film.
Now I know where the song "Dokhtore Badakhshea" (Badakhshan Maiden)was talking about..thank you,Ajmal Omid! I began my fascination with Central Asia 40 years ago when studying their music. All the "Stan" countries are possessors of cultural,historical and archaeological riches that too many Westerners know nothing about. Being literally on the other side of the world from me (USA) adds to their mystique. Love the music score! Great film! As delicious as a good meal!
Absolutely fascinating, great people and such a majestic landscape! Praise be to God. Wow. I am deeply impressed by the images and stories. Thank you for making and sharing this.
One of the best documentary films I have ever watched!

Great glimpse of such an enigmatic body of water in an equally mysterious land. Fascinating journey, superbly produced. Thanks for the ride.

Thanks for showing us the pristine culture, people and beauty of this place. Hope, I will visit there someday to see it from my own eyes and feel the pleasure.
It's a tranquil life, a simple life, and a hard life.
Beautiful the mountains and glaciers it looks like, it must be cold.
Hope those people can live a peaceful life as it should live as there ancestors
no electricity or phones since the Russians left! no fish in the that lake. very hard to grow veggies. No motorized pump for the water, hand starting the truck. Indeed it would be hard.
Lot love from India 🇮🇳 🇮🇳
Long live live Tajikistan 🇹🇯
we also have a Bollywood star with tajik roots if I'm not mistaken, Jackie shroff
I have recently found your channel and I am very positively surprised with it. I like that you center the documentary around a subject, but than explore related subjects, particularly people and culture.
I have a small film photography channel and my photography is often related to people and culture as well.
thank you for this and continue the good work.
What a beautiful people and beautiful land. I'm from Colorado--the highest place in America--so I love mountain people.
What an astonishingly beautiful place - and warm, wonderful people. And what an adventure it would be to visit.
This is a beautiful documentary worth seeing, understanding and imagining.....
Brilliant documentary !! Great work 👍
Shukran Ya Allah for this beautiful place❤️❤️❤️
Beautifully made documentary Tajikistan is a fascinating place ❤😊

Thanks for the documentary mother nature in deed its beautiful
FASCINATING and so educational .. Thank You
You will be surprised that from the coasts of the Mediterranean to Central Asia, we have the same rural traditions to this day! Thank you for your educational documentary. The music sounds Turkish & Arabian.
Yes islamic
This arabic music not turkish
Very very interesting! Congratulations and thanks for the vídeo! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 A great hug to all Tajikistan people! Geraldo from Goiania-Goiás-Brazil.
The folks with the visitors yurt looked decidedly Asian. Some of the others featured in the video less so. Thank you for this rare glimpse and insight of this beautiful, stark corner of the world and it's people. This austere landscape, punctuated by the tapestries rich, vibrant colors is gorgeous.
Yes, it was interesting to see - it sounds like those on the West are like Afghans, some seem to speak Farsi type languages like Iran, some are probably Russian influenced from when it was out there - quite a mixture. A lot in the village looked just like Roma in villages in Romania.
Felton Gailey @ the Tajiks are Iranian/Caucasian people, but the family live in that Yurt is Kyrgyz, a Turkish speaking people, their ancestors were mixed race: Mongol/Iranian...
Extraordinary. Such harsh living and such tough people Excellent!
Beautiful people Tajikistan
Exquisite black Lake🌅thank you for bringing us to this wonderful Tajikistan😊
I'm now here all the way from South Africa 🇿🇦wow I have travel the globe during this lockdown.....the world is beautiful ❤️

I also recommend watching the documentary, "Becoming a woman in Zanskar" by Tenzin Jamphel. Awesome and beautiful.
Me too. I have always been fascinated by Central Asia and the Silk Road.
Stop k1ll1ng the Boer, your farmers.
Love the locals and their way of life that is so laid back yet still remained as happy people.
Wonderful landscape & magical music
just wanted to say one of the most amazing documentaries i have ever watched. thanks for the great content !

*Best documentary, I glued to end. Love you the creator. Thank you.*
I love Tajikistan and my Tajik brothers and sisters
Thanks so much again to all the production & crews involved to expose this to the world!
Wow! This documentary relaxes my mind!
One of the best documentary i have ever seen. And one of the beautiful countries too. Godbless these people. Love from pakistan. Our ancestors tell us people from Tajikistan used to trade with them. Selling cheese and butter.
This is beautiful. Too often documentaries take a tone that sort of looks down on locals, but this one seems very respectful throughout. I like that the scientists drawn in are local people as well.
you said that right, thank you for saying it. I thought it too.
That is mostly done to Africans. Its amazing how many culture from different continents will have the same level of poverty as Africans but when it comes documentary on the same poverty level on Africa, the reportage sounds so different. Some narrators are just filled with some kind of mentality towards Africans.

Ruthless Nature in Pamir Mountain.Very tough life for human.
Karakol is actually one of the largest visible asteroid impact craters on earth. These folks missed that exciting fact! That is why the lake's waters are so salty. The impact cracked the land all the way down to the ancient salt beds under the mountains. Now the water sipping up, brings out the ancient salt.
was mentioned

@@TWOCOWS1 yes they didnt explore the origins more the culture of the place, would like to see a science doc on the lake. has the impact been dated?

This place reminds me of Utah. Beautiful mountains and scenery!
The lake would be on the top of the Wasatch range.
Reminds me of Utah too, but the food actually looks good. No fry sauce or green jelly anywhere in sight
