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.💛

Don't miss Darkot and the Wolf Stone viewpoint. The Rainbow Mountain trek is a must-do - it's seriously beautiful and totally worth it!

Good job... the natural beauty of the land and the hospitality of the people of Pakistan are just out of this world. People may not have a lot but they are the richest people in their hearts who happy to give
There is no place on planet earth like Pakistan, the love, affection and respect you get is unmatched 💖
Friendly and hospitable people can be found every where even on the top of the mountain ❤

Hi Flora 👋 Happy to see you again. Flat tires in these type roads is next level experience. I love the season so much. Look at the tree's colors 😊
7:00 So true! This happened to me too 30 years ago on a hike in Hunza - an old man Qalb e Ali invited me to his home built into the side of the mountain for chai
Another great video, Flora! Your editing just keeps improving with every video. You have a talent for this, combined with your amazing work ethic - you deserve all the success🙌 It's gonna be really exciting to follow your journey and filmmaking progress.
