Lyari: Former ‘No-Go Zone’ in Pakistan! 🇵🇰
Considered to be one of the most desperate slum areas in South Asia, Lyari is also the largest slum in Pakistan’s sprawling, unpredictable and edgy metropolis, Karachi.
In the last decade or so, Lyari has constantly been appearing in the news whenever Karachi erupts into ethnic or gang-related violence. This is not to suggest that this area was a bastion of peace before the 2000s; but it is true that the political and criminal violence emerging within and from Lyari in the last 10 years has had a bigger impact on Karachi than ever before.
Criminal gangs dealing in drugs, guns, kidnapping and land scams with some of them even enjoying patronage from assorted political outfits and groups are a common sight in the narrow, crooked and overpopulated streets of Lyari.
But all this was not a sudden phenomenon emerging in the last decade or so. Nor is this all what Lyari is about.
I have never been so overwhelmed with kindness from complete strangers. Based on the locals the I spoke with, a lot has changed in Lyari over the last 10 years, and I am happy that I got the opportunity to spend my afternoon there.
More Pakistan Vlogs coming this week!

Chris - because of your videos I also chose to visit Pakistan a few months ago. I also got a hold of your "guide" Swallay. We had the best time traveling all thru-out Pakistan together. Similar to you, I am a world traveler, visiting over 50 countries...NEVER, I repeat NEVER did I receive such hospitality as I did from the Pakistani people. And, never felt safer....I can't wait to go BACK this year again and also visit Afghanistan !! Chris - you rock brother.

Thanks Chris for bringing this window of culture to us North Americans. I’ve commented on this before but I can’t help but notice mostly boys and men on the streets. I need to add, the looks you get from the locals, you can read their minds what they must be thinking about you.

When Pakistan became a country, many of the educated and wealthy Indian Muslims moved to Lyari, my family was one of them. As time went on, these people moved to more elite areas, around the same time, refugees from across the region moved in. Come early to mid 2000's brought out gang wars, drug dealing, and all types of ignorant behavior.
