THE DARK Side Of Pakistan - Isn't What You'd Expect!
I do love Pakistan, but there is a dark reality in this country that I feel can be easily solved - and nobody really talking about it. Please let me know your point of view after watching the video and happy to discuss it in the comments section.

I agree with everything you've said in the vlog. Visitors/Tourists have ruined this place. And these locals have to collect the trash. Its a shame that people act worse than animals. I think only government can take a step to reslove this issue.
That’s the biggest problem in our country , people take nature wonders for granted and starts to pollute them :( . We have many touristic points ruined because of people littering :( . I hope government takes strict action against it and there should be fine for littering, so such beautiful places can be more enjoyable for other tourists. Thank you for raising awareness about it .

Stop blaming the Government. It is 100% collective effort to make the country clean. I would not blame everyone in Pakistan but overall the cleaning culture does not exist in Pakistan and it is sad. I am a hiker and I have been impressed by some of the hikes I have done at other countries and found no trash but I was disappointed the trash I noticed all over Pakistan at these beautiful places. Pakistanis needs to run a serious campaign about cleaning these beautiful places. Many times I felt that people did not just care about throwing the trash. Thanks for highlighting the the dark side of Pakistan.

So I’m an American Pakistani and I hate to say it, but it’s something that we as a culture do…whenever Pakistanis gather for a picnic/mela/public event…they will leave trash, dirty diapers/food ect all over…especially when the police aren’t around…even though it’s America…they just don’t believe in cleaning up after themselves…there is an unconscious belief that cleaning up is for cleaners /servants/workers to do..

you should vist Pakistan before you pass judgement over collective efforts, too easy to say stuff when your not even ones who are suffering, if govt is so called announcing to promote tourism they should also put some visible work into it, not just patriotic speeches. What are we paying twice more taxes for if we are the ones to put all the efforts, public is always willing to support but you need to show them a path and govt efforts also, not just give a speech over collective efforts.

The government and the people are to blame. Putting up posters saying not to litter won’t end the cleanliness problem in Pakistan. They should tell the police to stop being so laid back and to actually go and fine people. The government and the police is corrupt asf
The thing about you is that you are always honest unlike other KZreadrs.
I from Pakistan and ive basically traveled the entire northern Pakistan but I just feel so sad about some cities like swat , kalam which ate not like to high where people just leave trash on the ground and not realizing that their ruining one of the most beautiful country in the world i really don't know what's wrong with these uneducated people ahh I hope it can get better in the future
Thank you for exploring this Davud.

Great video, appreciate you shedding some light on the beauty of our country. What camera are you using in these vlogs?
As a Pakistani I really appreciate your positive criticism. It is very much true, I just don't understand our fellow citizens being careless, and it is annoying and disheartening to see every beautiful sight ruinning because of their carelessness. Kids should be taught in schools to clean up places after themselves so that they become aware adults.

Very beautiful there but yes, too bad there is so much trash everywhere. I hope they can get it cleaned up someday before it gets out of control. So sad to see it like this.
I love the genuine hospitality. It is our beautiful world and we all need to take care of our environment. At times poor people don't have time to think about the environment their priority is survival. I'm sure the local environmental groups can get involved in educating and explaining the long term benefit to the locals and to the world. Davud, you are doing a great job bringing the environmental awareness.
spot on fellow!
Davud this video was terrific! I totally get you, the littering is actually shameful and mega-disappointing. Pakistan has a load of this sort of issue all over the place. If we want more people to visit and enjoy the beauty of the place, we must first take care of it! As a side note, when you stepped out of the tea place, the change was so well captured, I loved it!

Hey bro i like ur vlogs superb!
You’re right about the trash. It detracts from the beauty of the place.
Unfortunately this is what we neglected most often. Hope that any official watching this video may take action to avoid further damage to the tourism.
Davud, u were talking about the trash around the mountains. I would suggest if you can organize with the people doing work up the mountains together clean up and set the example .. show the people around there that something needs to be done. I know u can educate everyone especially in Pakistan. Perhaps we can start somewhere. If I were there with you I will just try to organize something to encourage more people to clean together and also set up trash bins and slowly educate people there. It won't change over night buy atleast it's a start.
What a beautiful place. Let us preserve nature for all time.

"I think Pakistani people might not like me for talking about this" Well...no I actually loved how you talked about what's wrong with the country and it's obviously lack of awareness and understanding of the problems that stem from pollution as most of the people in Northern most Pakistan are not highly educated. People in the cities are no better as they don't really care either. I'd love it if you gave both your positives and negatives about the places you visit in the future. Love from Swat
Dude can u pls tell me if being fully vaccinated is enough to enter Pakistan?
Is this place is the broader region of Afghanistan or the Kashmir area? The trible area of Afghanistan and Peshawar do not have Dal cosines as thier favarite food.

despite of knowing that cleanliness is half of faith, it's sad
Absolutely correct, being a Pakistani I totally agree with you.
I personally avoid throwing trash anywhere except dustbin , we can't expect the government to roads and public places when we aren't even trying.
So sad about the trash ... We can't blame peoples who are uneducated... Government needs to provide high quality modern / islamic education and should compulsory education on each and every Pakistani ... Peoples who are educated and still doing these types of rubbish They should pay heavy fine atleast 500 dollars...

As a Pakistani, I would say your concern is 100% right. This is one of the biggest problems of ours. Unfortunately, there is not enough level of the campaign for awareness regarding environmental cleanliness. It's a collective responsibility of tourists, locals, and the government.
We should be conscious about our environment. Good tht you showed tht atleast and I know and later they might realise the consequences...or may tooo late@!!
