Have you ever heard of a COLD desert?? Well Pakistan has 2 of them!!
Join us as we take an epic day trip exploring the area around Skardu. Visiting Shigar Fort, Blind Lake, and the cold deserts all while in the comfort of a retro 1940's Land Cruiser! Plus we come across our first ever game of Polo and let's just say it's a pretty mental game!
It's been no secret since we arrived in Northern Pakistan we have been blown away by its beauty and today's vlog is no exception!
We stayed at Pyramid Lodge during our stay in Skardu and we couldn't recommend it enough. Our kind host Hussain arranged for this day tour with our driver Iqbal and we had the best day!

This is world's highest cold desert. It is on my bucket-list when next time I come to Pakistan.
most welcome to🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰
Skardu is so underrated. It is one of the best places on earth!
It was our favourite place in Pakistan, incredible place ❤️
This is where polo comes from. British officers (elites) got the game from here. Locally this has historically come from cavalry training. There is also tent pegging that was originally for training cavalier spear hormen. An elite activity mainly done by land owners (land barons in feudal terms)
British Colonists used to play polo there, but they did'nt bring it..This was the Royal Game of Sub Continent , named as Chogaan , and was introduced , reformed and played by the great Mughal Emporer Zahir ud Din Babar!!
@@khalidimran6534 I said that the british got game from here. I didn't say they brought it.
So beautiful epic scene.Sand and snow mountains!,
It's so beautiful, Pakistan 🇵🇰 is an amazing country
Looking at this video feels like you are walking in a scenery. What a moment you have captured together in one of the rarest cold deserts in the world.
Thanks! We think its most definitely one of the most beautiful places in the world 🌍
Thats a Land Cruiser 40 series. Not a bad specimen.The spped limit on the dash is a carry oiver from the army daysShigar is such a cool place!Hes got one noisy diesel in it!

@@Nehal.Bin.Qadirdad yes 2L /3L.
Oh i can't believe 😮 this is my Pakistan 🇵🇰❤❤
So beautiful isn't it! We loved it 🥰
Pakistan's northern areas are really beautiful.
Yes they are 😍
Amazing discovery I never knew there is such place as cold desert you guys are amazing love from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
Aw thanks for watching! 😄 glad we could show off this incredible place!
Thanks for exploring our beloved country Pakistan 🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰❤️😊
Amazing views, excellent vlog. Pakistan north is very special. Thank you keep up the good work, don't forget to give out cards to grow your channel. Weather here in Crawley is terrible not a good summer, rain rain. From Sal in the UK
Thank you very much 😁 the Uk weather is terrible 😂 where is the summer weather?
Hello female solo traveller here . I am so excited to share that I'll be visiting Pakistan next month! From everything I've heard, it sounds like a stunning country with a relaxed vibe and welcoming people. I can't wait to experience it all firsthand and share my journey through videos on this channel. Love from the USA
Awesome! Hope you enjoy your trip, it’s a beautiful country full of wonderful and kind people ❤️
You should see Minimarg some 50-60 km from Skardu, some 15 km from Deosai Skardu. Most mesmerizing place in Skardu/Astore region
Polo gets very intense specially when they are playing an official match, heard it can get bloody and messy too.
You should visit sadpara, deosai plains as well and khaplu too. But also sarfaranga in summer or fall since there are activities and better jeep rides and bike and even paragliding too.
Plus on the way to blind lake, there's a resort that I designed. You should visit next time too. I can hook you guys up!!
That’s really cool you designed that!
Polo was pretty crazy and I can see it getting very messy.
Thanks for your recommendations- we’ll definitely be back one day 🇵🇰
an interesting tidbit for you wrt finding Blind Lake to be similar to the Scottish Highlands. When the British colonized India, it was the Scots who primarily ventured out into the mountain regions of what is now Pakistan, and wrote some fascinating memoirs on their time there. The Scots fell hard for both the rugged nature of the Pakistani highlands and its inhabitants
Well come ❤to Pakistan land of brave people 💪🇵🇰
and the land of hospitality ❤️ thank you
بہت خوب بہت اعلی دلکش مناظر 🎉😂❤

Guys, Shigar Fort is an architect's paradise, you guys went to the right place for wrong reasons 😂, the impeccable work laid into conserving this fort is basically scholarly, guy was telling you about how the foundation of the fort was made into the big boulder itself, it's a marvel in the world of engineering. Great vlog ❤
Thanks for watching 😄 maybe we didn't appreciate this at the time but its very impressive to know how it was created
Beautiful views ❤

MashaALLAH Pakistan🇵🇰 zindabad
welcome to my beloved country Pakistan 🇵🇰 ❤
I am a Pakistani and I have lived half of my life in Edinburgh and I have seen Scotland from coast to coast, but this resembles atad bit like Scottish Highlands but Scottish Highlands are decidedly more mesmerising. I shall give the credit where it's due.
Lol
Scotland and Pakistan do definitely share a few things and that is naturally beauty and incredible landscapes 🇵🇰
Lol skardu desert is one of the most unique sights in the world and you’re still stuck where you live ? Wow you must either belong to pk army or bureaucratic family
I have also scaled every inch of the Scottish highlands and undoubtedly it is one of the most beautiful places on earth. Love going back every time. However, the Norther areas of Pakistan, though share some similarities, have a few landscapes which are unique to the area and are more mesmerising.
How very amazing and so nice so beautiful and Pakistan
Such an incredible landscape, our favourite place in Pakistan 🇵🇰
Welcome guys ❤
Thank you! ❤️🇵🇰
Love from Pakistan ❤
