I Went on a Road Trip in Northern Pakistan (Crossing the Shandur Pass)
In the second and final part of my ‘road to Chitral’ series, I navigate the lesser-known roads of Pakistan, challenging assumptions and showing the true beauty of this incredible country. From unexpected hurdles to breathtaking landscapes, this was so much more than just a road trip.
The video will take you through Phander, crossing the Shandur pass, onto Mastuj, and lastly, towards the final destination Chitral.
🛣️ Journey Highlights:
* Phander: a hidden gem between Gilgit and Chitral. Great for hiking, as it offers immense natural beauty.
* Shandur Pass: brace yourself for the raw, untamed beauty of the Shandur Pass as I traverse its winding roads.
* Chitral: experience the city marked as a 'red zone' by the Dutch government. Contrary to the warnings, this might be the most hospitable place I’ve visited in Pakistan!
* Unexpected Twists: from road blockages to tricky police checks, I share the unfiltered realities of road tripping in Pakistan.
* Pakistan is Not What you Think: I reveal the truths beyond the warnings.
Thank you, your support means the world.💛

She is such a brave lady. Full marks to her confidence level. I have rarely seen such an adventurous lady like her. It seems that she is travelling without prior planning. As she told that she met her travel partner in a hotel in Hunza.
You're such a talent, Flora. Every time, you keep getting better. Your editing and storytelling are clearly improving, and I love that you’re getting more expressive with your words. The aesthetics are on point as always, and I’m so excited about what you’re gonna come up with in the future. Never stop.

Your human message between cultures is very valuable and your work as a filmmaker can have impact in bridging the gap. Thank you for bringing your perspectives to the world.
Welcome to Pakistan and keep smiling, be happy, if there is any problem, order🎉
Awvee I just wanted to cry not because it's my own country but because what you said about genorusity about the people and kind hearted Muslims ethical people that's because of our religion and that's what we are so much proud of being humble and kind at always and both of you specially you have melted my heart with such a beautiful way of describing whole of your story it's a treat to watch and view the experience from UK
actually they didnt see so much foreigners that why they stare at u. and nothing is there to be scared. they are the people of respect and honour. and my Mom told me the story that when my Mom came 1st time in our village in Pakistan. All women of village came to see my Mom and gave gifts and hugs and love. bcz my Mom was also foreigner.😊❤. i hope You both will enjoy ur trip❤

Where the landscapes are so majestic, even the mountains might be getting altitude envy! But for real, Pakistan is one of those countries I am wishing my travel dart would land because it looks like a real-life adventure novel - from the stunning valleys of Hunza to the azure lakes of Skardu, every step feels like a chapter in the epic tale of Pakistan's breathtaking north.
Northern areas of Pakistan you can't beat the views... it's the Swiss capital of the world for hiking Mount K2 Nanga Parbat everything alhamdullilah! hunza ppl live a traditional life
Amazing content. Capturing the true essence of rugged, jagged and raw beauty that Northern Pakistan has to offer in a unique melancholic way. Big thumbs up 👍
Didn't want the video to end... Finally there is content on KZread for which I wait to get uploaded The scenes...the natural feel in the video... wearing dupata to get adjusted in the environment...gifted ring...the wait for transport and the stares at the bazar coverage... Absolutely amazing ❤️ You have talent Plz keep uploading

Welcome to Pakistan. Have a good time 👍
I am extremely excited to watch your videos because you are in that part of Pakistan which most people do not go due to being too far and mountainous. I have not gone yet. When I saw your conditions during the hitchhike and journey, if I had been there I felt dizzy. But thanks to you both, on a journey in Northern Pakistan which was difficult for even locals of Pakistan. Hi, from Rawalpindi.
I have been waiting for a new video and its finally here!
A nice vlog. Your comments about Chitral and Pakistan seem to be emanating deep from your heart. Welcome to Pakistan
Amazing video Flora, really liked the way you have edited & put forward the content. So real yet mesmerizing.! Keep up the good work.
Great👍
Your filming is one of the greatest ever. Absolutely stunning!
Pakistan a land of big hearts...
