I gave to say you must have a stomach of steel with the place and things you eat but love your videos
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Respect to the officers and their generosity.
Glad you made it safely. Why didn't you take N15 from Manshera to join N35 at Chilas instead of taking N35 all the way around thru Besham? Was that route considered safer though longer? Take care.
Riding that narrow and dangerous bend is waoh! Yet the trucks were overloaded 😮
Dear someone is for your security with you but you don’t know him 😮
They seem to be very confused about which side of the road people should generally drive on to respectfully yield defensively. In a most stunningly beautiful place life looks brutally hard where all they're about is working for one's self not even acknowledging one another as if maybe a big truck might be able to magically go through another one in the way. It's clearly another horrendous environmental disaster in the making all for China Corporation. The miners are probably tediously picking for rare Earth materials that tech hardware is made from. Any possible prospecting for opportunity is done regardless how damaging the effects will be on a future if there is to be a future for people, animals, water, and air on the Earth in the great outdoors without some carbon taxing technology like high tech breathing apparatuses or some horrible dystopia out of science fiction. You are the only foreign explorer to discover a most dangerous new high road carved out of granite where water falls and rock falls are a constant. I might guess the odd bus looking so wrong was wrecked by falling rock though not completely crushed so the people maybe escaped with their lives to carry on for another day on a death road to work to death. A most sad world that had a most great potential as the planet of life instead of global scale environmental disaster of the corporation sure to cause depop and many extinctions that is our food.
