DRIVING the KARAKORAM! - PAKISTAN 🇵🇰 - Australia to Scotland by road - Episode 60
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 лют 2025
- We've already completed the first half of the Karakoram Highway and in this episode we'll be (almost) finishing it off!
From our last stop at the ski resort in Naltar Valley we head back down the dramatic 16km track to the KKH to then continue on for another 63kms to Alliabad. I couldn't help repeating how beautiful this drive was as we wound our way around each bend, it honestly felt like the scenery kept getting better and better!
Arriving in Alliabad we went to a hotel called "Mountain Story" which was a recommendation from our friend Sana. One of his friends owns a beautiful mountain lodge style hotel and restaurant and was kind enough to let us camp out the front and use his facilities including a nice hot shower (always the most appreciated thing to have)! We ended up staying for two nights and made the most of having power and wifi to catch up on making the videos as well as taking in the beautiful view. Thanks for having us Atif!
On the way to our next camp spot at Borith Lake we stopped in at Hussaini Bridge; a pretty scary suspension bridge (if you ask me yes, though I'm terrified of suspension bridges! Ha!).
Just a few kilometres from Hussaini is Borith Lake. Here we found a nice little spot to camp up for a couple of days as we celebrated Mark's birthday with some pancakes.
Up the track from Borith Lake is the majestic Passu Glacier. A short walk from the end of the road takes you up a surprisingly well built track along the edge of the mountain to a great lookout point over this very white glacier.
Our next stop was just down the road to check out the Passu Cones, an iconic and dramatically beautiful mountain range. It was really cloudy when we first arrived at our camp spot though thankfully the following morning the clouds cleared and the sun came out briefly giving us just enough time to capture some epic footage.
From here we continue driving to the border town Sost through these beautiful mountains.
That's it for this episode, thanks for watching! Join us in the next one as we finish off our time in Pakistan and also for our new country wrap up segment!

Love you brother
We were there 20 years ago and loved this part of the world. Amazing people.
MaD destinations and it’s getting that same sense back which was 20 years ago..!!
After 9/11 everything changed
Come back again please! You're more than welcome
@@bushramehmood6458 now it's a
safer place, with the reinforcement of PM Imran Khan
Couldn't agree more!
I live in China. I miss Pakistan. Heaven on Earth
Welcome to China! Enjoy your stay. I will be visiting your country (Pakistan) soon. 🇨🇳❤🇵🇰
@@糊涂龟 welcome and that's awesome
@Atlantean You are SO WRONG
@Atlantean No. You're wrong. Very wrong. I won't argue with someone who is enforcing their opinion from their living room sitting on their ass.
You have not been here. So you feel like that.
@Atlantean no brother. You are so wrong. Please come visit, we welcome you. It's not your fault. Your media teaches you stuff that's far from ground reality
Landscape is awesome. Pakistan so lucky, even local don't know about beauty of their country. Keep it safe and clean and continue to improve infrastructure.
yay! glad to see more exposure to Pakistan, we've always wanted to visit!
You are most welcome bro
You're always welcome here🇵🇰👍🏼.
Welcome
Most Welcome 💐
It's an amazing country to explore! The mountains are so beautiful! 🏔
Amazing passu cones, you guys tried your best.. but I tell you audiences. These things can’t be described through a camera lenses.
Epic..!! Love you from sydney

Thanks! Glad you liked it so much to watch it again! 😄
@@TheWayOverland
1. I’ve now watched the video three times on three different devices.
2. I’ve watched the last minute and a half more than a dozen times because it gives me goosebumps...
3. This is my favorite video of yours, pure magic…
4. I love the driving montages it really shows the rugged beauty and massive scale of Pakistan.
5. The colour palette of this video was stunning.
I could go on and on… but WOW, just WOW!!!
Wow thanks so much! So happy to hear how much you’ve enjoyed it! 😄😄😄
The Way Overland fair play to you guys you’ve seen more of my country than me! 😂 but you’ve inspired me to go travelling there... epic drone footage btw! You guys are smashing it. Keep it up
@@super.zdravko now you need to come to Pakistan!! You are most welcome anytime 🧡🧡
Pakistan continues to amaze! But who were your companions in the darker vehicle?
Sir u must also visit pakistan u would always found warm welcm here....thank u
We felt the same! 😄
We had another couple traveling with us for a short period leading up to and for the China crossing. They didn’t appreciate the filming side of our travels so they’re not included in these episodes..
It is the darker side of #Thewayoverland hehehe.....just kidding......Some times you would see the other vehicle poping up in the corner of the frame........Thank you and Best of luck for the trip ahead.......Really enjoyed your veideo's
Good you people visited i know you viewership will get good chance to see Pakistan. My home land...
Do visit mate🇵🇰👍🏼
Thank you guys for giving me a whole different and wonderful perspective of Pakistan 🇵🇰. Promising Pakistan! Happy Belated birthday to Mark!

Nice video and such a beautiful landscapes & sceneries , beautiful couple nice music 🎶 👍🏾🇵🇰🌲👫🏔🚧🚦Safe drive 🚙🌲- from Tokyo Japan 🇯🇵
🇵🇰❤️🇯🇵
Welcome to Pakistan
Come to pakistan
It is very sad and sad that this should not happen, they were presenting a good picture of the world to the world whom
👍💯❤️🇯🇵 from 🇵🇰💚 Pakistan
Just fantastic. When you started out I thought you'd be pootling around Oz - incredible to see now where you're going. The episodes are getting better and better, thank you.
We're a little far from home now 😜 Thanks, glad you think so! We'll be back in Aus next year and looking forward to filming more of it!
Oz got nothing on this place.
I spent whole last week in north eastern italy (south Tyrol). It’s beautiful But these places in Pakistan are just too majestic
Naveed syed I’ll keep to Italy thank you very much.
Wow and Wow!! I had no idea Pakistan was so stunning!! Thank you for these beautiful videos!
come here and explore by yourself
Wow, What fascinating adventure. I guess in the early & mid 80’s there was no road yet in this part of northern Pakistan. What a beautiful northern Pakistan territories. Snow peak mountains, clean running rivers from snow melting, cherry blossoms. I envy this couple traveling in this remote places...
All that I can say is to Click Share and tell the world. 60 Episodes Later. The world needs to know what this young couple are doing. What an adventure. The one that we all wished we were brave enough to take when we were young enough.
Share it out. Let's make this world a safe one just as they are.
Are they safe Mike because they haven't commented on any of the social medias for over a month?
Is this an ironic post? From all the reports they are the opposite of safe. So yes, share it out. The world is a dangerous place.
Love from India.. I wish I could visit those mountains
Your warm welcome anytime anywhere in Pakistan ..
Bro visit any time you want there is no restrictions on anyone...
u r warmly welcome bro
You are always welcome lots of love from Pakistan 🇵🇰
You are welcome bro..
Thank you for Visiting my country, Love to see you guys are enjoying here...
You guys are amazing!!! My hat's off to you for your sense of adventure. I still can't believe that this is Pakistan. Btw, some of those off road drives look pretty scary. Take care and safe travels and thanks for taking us along. Great drone footage!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pretty beautiful country hey! 🏔 Yeah some of the roads had huge drop offs and overhanging rock. It certainly made for an epic drive! Glad you enjoyed it! 😄
The B this is why smarter adventurers are Veterans or Ex Army that read rules of each nation they go to. These hipsters aren’t adventurers, they are tourists, hipsters, and ideological leftist idiots, they bring shame to the word “adventurers” for being so careless and retarded, but I expect nothing less from hipsters
much love & respect for you guys! much love & respect for Pakistan & people of Pakistan! (Edwin Ali, Australia) cheers!
Ohh my gosh, being a Pakistani I'm feeling so proud, my country is so beautiful beyond of my imagination. Thank you so much showing me that part of pak where I never been.
But now I definitely discover northern areas.
Welcome to my country....come again and again....you have penned it perfectly
Thanks!
Probably your best work so far.
Absolutely blown away by the beauty of Pakistan.
Cheers Afnan!
Congratulations on being released from Iran. :)

Thank you so much for making this. You are very lucky to be able to travel like this. I'm about to go on my 1st holiday in 12 years & have chosen Pakistan because I love mountains.
12 years! Sounds like you need a holiday! You’ve picked the right country, enjoy.
@@TheWayOverland thanks. Is it hard to find people who speak English there?
View of our country is breathtaking 😍😍😍
Pakistan sure has been very beautiful . and awesome mts views along your rout . Another great video . Cheers from Steve Stott in Sutherlin Oregon U.S.A.
plz visit Pakistan
I was born in Pakistan,will go pakistan soon IA,🇦🇹🇵🇰.Great Video.
Thank you for visiting Pakistan and providing a positive review. The footage towards the end was beyond epic. If it wasn't for such dedicated and generous explorers like you, who are willing to share, us commoners would have no idea what we would have missed. I am sure being physically there must be many times more thrilling.
7:27, Hussaini bridge and music...💕💕👌and Passu... Onwards 💖

Pakistan is sure, if not the most, one of the top most beautiful countries of the world. It is a country that experiences all four seasons and has climates ranging from hot desert ones to the coldest ones. From sea to the river to land to lakes, Pakistan is just full of natural landscapes, something that tourists desire the most..#Gilgit-Baltistan
Ohhhh you're great just tremendous stuff .... Look at the scenes so much UA-camrs came but unable to catch just like these views... You're real humanitarian who show ours real beauty of country 🇵🇰💚 thank-you so much... Love from the heart of Pakistanis.... You should come again.... Next years😍
& Happy birthday to your Husband 💚
Just see the beauty of Pakistan at 14:55 and 15:50 ....i never seen before such a beautiful magical scenery.................I love my homeland ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Waooooow I can't believe it this is Pakistan wonderful love from Germany
Borith Lake is close to Passu Glacier (26Km) , in between Passu and Ghulkin Glacier (22Km).
From Borith Lake, If you hike a bit towards Passu Glacier .. you will get more than your money worth
Straight in front of you wil be
Batura Sar (7795m)
Batura ll (7762m)
Batura lll (7729m)
Shispare Sar (7611m)
Batura lV (7594m)
Passu Sar (7476m)
Mucho Chish (7453m) {Highest un-climbed peak in the world}
Ultar sar (7388m) {The peak just behind Baltit Fort, Hunza}
Dunasir (7329m} {The peak just behind Baltit Fort, Hunza}
Most of these are part of Batura wall.
batura wall, is a 10km long wall continuously higher than 7,000 meters
How fascinating is this?
There is no peak higher than 7000 m in the whole world except this region , or cluster of mountain ranges, that includes Karakoram, Himalayas and Hindu Kush.
And all of these three emanate from Pakistan
Near Gilgit is a village, Jaglot, where all these mountain ranges converge at the confluence of River Indus and Gilgit River
Thanks for showing us these Amazing Places
Though it's my country but I myself getting amazing day by day by its beauty in the upper region just because of these foreign friends who filmed these sceneries and we get to see it on UA-cam.....thumps up to you guys

Jolie King and Mark Firkin quit their jobs two years ago to travel full time to start The Way Overland, documenting their extended journey through 36 countries from Australia to the UK. They had just published Episode 60 on their UA-cam channel, sharing some beautiful footage of Pakistan, when all of their accounts suddenly went silent. The Australian's who disappeared suddenly from the Internet in June have been located in a notorious Iranian prison, where they are being detained indefinitely. The couple was apparently arrested by Iranian authorities in July after flying a camera drone without the proper permits.
Happy birthday Mark and can I say travel agrees with you two so much. Looks like you have both reversed your age. Jolie is glowing cheek to cheek and this episode oh my! The best production, editing and cinematography to date. Gone up a few notches. As always, Well done Mark and Jolie, keep them wheels rollin!
