OM - Train Journey in Pakistan/Afghanistan

[rishknan]

did this train have both goods and passenger boggies.... amazing

[ordjay]

Nice to see this. Sorry to be picky but maybe you could have said "traditional" instead of `primitive`? Nevertheless spectacular landscape. I went through there in Jan 1978. Best wishes

@ordjay thanks for the comment, I should have thought while we did the voice over, its true, cant change it anymore though...

Nice film. I'm curious, how much did it cost to hire the train?

Is it a misprint, or has Hunza been moved since the last time I was there. Last time I was there it was north of Gilgit, in the Karakorams!

Still enjoyed seeing Dera Khyber!

Thanks!

[NewWorldSpirits]

well, a film is also a short glimpse of a long trip, so how to get from the kyber pass to hunza is just not mentioned, but of course its not right there. thanks for watching.

cheers nws

It is a good attempt to promote yourself not this pass or the ppl. I feel that you have intentionally tried to portray them negatively. The international politics or better to say, the Great Game, has tarnished the image of these good and friendly ppl.

[NewWorldSpirits]

I dont see any negative promotion of the local people here

Nice clip

I am an Indian..want to visit that place.

[nwspirits]

Indian from India or indigenous?

[Crintingnut]

Is the train still operating? It hadn't resumed when I did the Pass ib 1981 and am keen - though cautious - to go to that fascinating region.

[nwspirits]

It was two years ago, but just for tourists, but there arent any, so we hired the whole train

[Crintingnut]

Shame really. Such an amazing region. We had to have an army escort in 1981 - then lunch at the base. In 1985 it was deemed too dangerous to enter the pass. The tracks went a long way down towards the entry gate but were almost covered by earth. Still keen to go back but ....

[nwspirits]

I guess its possible to go back, just need an pakistan contact man, as I have a very good friend there who organized everything it was possible, liked that experience to go there with this train and no tourists at all....

[BelligerentPacifist]

[superpower555]

Always upload full documentry.

[Faisalha9159]

primitive way of life? I think the commentator is very much confused. Most of these people have sky tv, fridges, etc etc and every modern amenity you can think of.

[BelligerentPacifist]

yeah how do you define primitive? and is primitive bad? the guy's going in so loaded with prejudice its silly.

[britishpakilovespak]

americans and englishmen supports more indian than pak even they know pak ply a vital role to served the us and uk from years and palyed a vital role in their economy

[bernalyckan]

nice film but americans and englishmen have not a peaceful good attitude towards the pashtun people

[00fardeen]

those areas belong to pashtoons , talban wouldnt do no shit to you lol coz according to code of honour ( pashtoon wali ) pukhtoons repect their guests unless they go by force or attack them

[NewWorldSpirits]
