I Went Hiking in a Remote Valley in Pakistan

Join me in the first installment of my 'Road to Chitral' series as I travel to Yasin Valley in Pakistan. Nestled between Gilgit and Chitral, this largely unexplored gem surprised me at every turn.
We explored this place during autumn, which probably made the valley even more enchanting. The vibrant fall colours provided the perfect canvas for our hiking adventure.
This video is a story not just about hiking and beautiful landscapes, though - it also reinforces the belief that genuine kindness and hospitality can be found in every corner of Pakistan, even atop a mountain.
Thank you, your support means the world.💛
🌞 About Me:
I'm Flora, a female adventurer passionate about hiking, nature, and exploring off-the-beaten-path destinations. My goal is to show what it's truly like to travel in Pakistan - specifically as a female foreigner - and show that it isn’t like what Western media portrays it to be.

I am an in United States for an exchange study like you discovered the beauty of Yasin I am trying to see the United States and experience the diverse culture of United States. Mostly foreigners miss the chance of getting first had experience of Pakistan . You are a brave person and inspiration . I some time hesitate to put myself out here in-front such modern communities but ur video gave me an insight of how important it is to be willingly to learn and experience incredibly diversity.I hope that you may come to Yasin Vallly some day and we I would like to be the first person to host you as my gust as I have been hosted by a lovely American Family.
