Solo In Pakistan's Dodgiest Hood 🇵🇰 

Bald please visit the international space station and see what the locals are like up there

Amazing how this man is able to connect with quite literally anyone

What Balds videos have taught me, is that when you approach people and situations with confidence and, most importantly an open heart, people are far better than our preconceptions let us believe.

I am a Pakistani, and i will think twice before visiting these areas in Karachi while holding a camera....You are brave and lucky enough. And this means people in there are friendly and kind to foreigner's.

as a local from karachi pakistan even i wouldnt go to the places he went to, our govt advices us against it. this man has balls of steel.

This man makes the best vlogs on RU-vid. He has real guts to do what he does. It is his charrisma that endears him to the most diverse people in the World. Brilliant, this is REAL travelling.

the Taxi man was saying 'but you are my guest!.' He was a little embarrassed you were overpaying as he thought it was his duty to show you kindness

dayum, this looks waaaaaaaaaay better and cleaner than the recent India video. lmao.

The robust disposition of Bald is remarkable, no matter where you put him or where he goes - a smile, a handshake, and bit of charm he'll provide.

I love how fearless Bald is and how well he gets along with total strangers no matter where he is at. He‘d be the perfect travel buddy 😀

I love how aggressive he is with his "hellos" and then keeps it moving 😂😂 Throws the locals off and makes them think what the hell just happened.😂

Not nearly as many vehicle horns as neighbouring India ... And noticeably far cleaner ..... What's the deal with that?

Thank you for all the uploads over the years. I love the way you mix history lessons in with the content and your authentic & honest approach. (The only person I can watch who creates long videos like this without ever getting bored)

"Wow you have a deep voice for a young boy" Had me rolling hahahahaha

I want to tell you guys a story. I got so inspired by Bald to travel the way he does and took an impromptu trip to Nepal and Bhutan last July. I went without booking a return ticket and traveled by land from Nepal to Bhutan via India. I spoke with many many folks on the way (this was never my way to travel previously) and I have some 20 new friends now! I don't want to bore you with a long story, so I'll just mention the highlight of my trip. I met two guys - Nishchal and Bijay on a bus from Kathmandu and Pokhara. They are still very good friends and we keep pinging each other from time to time. I checked on them when there was an earthquake in Nepal, and they did the same when Chennai was flooded in December. I was in Pokhara for a week, and Nishchal would come every evening to my hotel to pick me up to show me new places or introduce me to more of his friends. Among the many people I met, I also learned about what they were doing in their lives, careers, etc., and connected unrelated people with each other based on their mutual interests. Bijay is an environmental engineer, and I introduced him to a guy whose mission is to keep the water bodies of Nepal safe (nobody pays him to do that, he samples the water quality and stuff on his own). I am reminded of that incident when Bald introduces Kolya to another lonely villager who lives nearby. I think I've unlocked some inner superpower by suppressing that awkwardness while meeting and talking to new people. Even Nishchal and Bijay told me that although they've made the journey from Kathmandu to Pokhara countless times, they've never spoken to a stranger before. Thank you Bald, here's to a long, healthy, peaceful, and prosperous life mate 🍻

One of the most interesting videos for a long time. And ive been watching for several years now. Thank you for the experience.

Massive admiration to you dear Bald for treating everyone you meet with kindness and respect.

The way backpacker Ben and Simon Wilson get introduced every time makes me laugh 😂😂

When Pakistan says it’s “open for tourism” I think they assumed that everyone understood that the border with Afghanistan was excluded…

I laughed out when that military person said no Iran , no Afghanistan and even no india have nuclear 😂 Patriotism on its peak in Pakistan

The look on Backpacker's face when Bald say's "this is worse than Afghanistan" is priceless. He looks terrified. Great video.

mate it makes me so happy seeing you speak so many languages and actually pronounce the names of places properly. it's so refreshing. been following your travels for years and you're 100% my favourite content creator!

"you're following me on your bicycle" "yes sir🗿"

I cant believe it. You started every convo with aur bhai. Instantly breaking barriers. Idk where you learnt it but it is a fantastic trick.

The sense of duty that the Police and Security feel to keep you safe is amazing.

its amazing how relaxed he is even in a completely different part of the world.

Thank you for taking us along on exciting adventures!!! Been in Peshawar back in the 60,s.

I love this guy's commentaries. "Dusty skies. Rubbish everywhere" saying it nonchalantly 😂

Oh lord isn't it lovely.... beautiful in fact to see human beings being nice to each other and showing each other respect.

bald is the KING of this genre, the GOAT of travel & talk.

You could tell that guard in the back of the police truck was a genuine guy the way he rejected the hand shake when they dropped Yous off and went for a hug instead what a wholesome guy man

So good. Love the little history lessons you throw in.

That young military troop was so friendly, I just hope he stays safe

We all know that Simon is NOT going to eat street food, lol. He will have McDonald's.

Awesome video and thank you so much for showing a very unbiased and true image of Pakistan. You know history, Culture better than many locals. You respect the local culture and people in the best way possible... Cheers...

The fact you are so well versed in the history and the struggle of the people you introduce us to make these videos so enjoyable to watch. Nobody wants to watch an Instagram blonde go places and meet people when she totally ignorant to their life and struggles as much as they would want to watch you!

I don't usually comment on videos, but I just want to say how much I admire you for being able of speaking so many languages and being able to communicate with everyone, everywhere

I admire the care taken with your safety by the authorities. It’s commendable if frustrating for you. The friendliness of the locals in the towns is striking.

My family along with 1.2 million Hindu Sindhis did the journey in the opposite direction in 1947,getting into the train from Quetta,shikarpur,Rohiri,Sukkur and other towns of Sindh to Karachi to take a boat from Karachi port to kandla port in Kutch and then onwards to various parts of India. Bald doesn’t know how important this video is for so many Sindhis across the world who will never ever be able to physically see Sindh because of political reasons.This route had huge historical significance and Ofcourse a lot of sad stories of people suffering and losing their homeland and becoming refugees. P.S being a Brit,Bald could be more proud and aware of British history.He keeps talking about going via “Sukkur “ . The Lansdowne Bridge over the Indus at Sukkur was one of the great engineering feats of the 19th century. The longest cantilever bridge ever built, it had to support the load of heavy steam locomotives. The bridge was inaugurated in 1889 and show’s British engineering genius even 150 years back- still standing-bald missed the opportunity to show it! My own family for centuries and beyond were staying on the banks of Indus in Sukkur where this bridge was built.

Looks 100x better than India.

The pretend run-into thing still makes me laugh every time lol

05:55 i laughed so hard at “wow you got a deep voice for a young boy”

The cheerfulness of this bald man is an antidote to these troubled days

Riding along on that man’s motorbike and saying hello to all the other folks on bikes riding past was so cool. Everyone just seemed to want to say hi to the weird bald white guy! I quite like the never ending kindness that Bald seems to encounter along his journeys. Is it because he’s always so casual and friendly with everyone he meets? Is it because the vast majority of humans are actually friendly and nice? Who can say. But I hope that you continue to travel and meet nice people.

Ben, what you are doing is incredibly valuable! I hope you keep going for many years!

I was smiling sooo much throughout this fun yet educational adventure! The people were so curious and no cell phones. Their smiles made me smile!

Beautiful people and beautiful country ❤🇵🇰. Looking forward to my visit in summer. Love from Germany 🇩🇪🇵🇰

I found your channel after you and Timmy crossed the Darien Gap. I love raw journalism like this, it's like I'm experiencing it firsthand with you. Thank you, would love to see more adventures with Timmy!

I never be able to explain how i love your videos…. So authentic. Thanks mate. Greetings from Prague

Bald is my favourite youtuber and let me tell you why.. 1. This man has wide knowledge about the history of place and he knows how to explain it in details and emotions 2. He indulge himself in the place by speaking their language and over that he is good in making friends 3. He is not cocky and respect the culture of that place and knows the customs and cultures No ads,no shorts just pure content

My family is from Pakistan, i live in texas. I cant believe u started walking around orani town.. that's some balls bro.. i have never done that

Ben is so absurdly well travelled it would be impossible for these conmen to take him for another 10 cents.

I’d be so untrusting and weary of people in some of these places , but you’ve just got a way about you that makes friends with everyone, absolutely brilliant!

I'm from Pakistan and really surprised to see you here, things here are very different... The mindset of the people, I'm surprised. I hope you enjoyed it here and the experience taught you things! 🌺🇵🇰 You have travelled more than me that's a good thing!

bald you are one of the greatest humanitarian on planet bringing cultures together and showing peace to all a real world treasure

Please Ben…never stop…your videos have been my comfort zone in hard times. Wish you all the best ! Love from Greece .

Thanx Ben for taking us along with you on your amazing adventures

A year ago, I thought the channel was over as 'the' Russian journey was. Now I'm enjoying every new piece of content as if it was the last. And the quality of the videos is only getting better. Long live Mr Bald.

OMG 26:00 when the train was travelling through the tunnels... mixed feeling of beauty, wonder and sheer terror. What an emotional salad. Amazing video once again @baldandbankrupt

Still the G.O.A.T, I remember when you announced that you want to quit, like 3 years ago, but even these short format docus are untouched when compared to any other travel vlogger, no degenerate, desperate low class behavior, just purely intelligent films, best of the best really

I am from Quetta and felt very happy to see you wandering in the streets but the end of the video made me so much heart broken, the way you were forced to leave the city and ultimately you had to leave Pakistan.

Ben is finally in Pakistan! I look forward to your adventure. Go to Mirpur, meet some people from Bradford...lol

Just what London will look like in 10 years time

This video and all the other videos from this man (Mr. Bald) are a great example of how to use Internet in a positive way, these videos collection are a fantastic learning tool as well as entertaining for all ages and nationalities. Thank you very much Bald !!!

Leaving Simon Wilson in a war zone almost makes me want to check out his channel. Almost.

your videos have gotten me through so much! please never stop

36:22 That weird army officer claiming that Afghanistan, Iran and India are nothing compared to PK 😂Delusional

He steps literally 2m out of his Hotel and got a free city tour 🤣

Best RU-vidr there is. Another great video, Mr. Bald! But how does he do it? No ads, no merch, no Patreon, no pay wall. Whatever you are doing, it works for me. Can’t wait for the next adventure! Thanks!

I made this journey (albeit in the opposite direction starting from Quetta) literally 25 years ago and it's amazing that nothing appears to have changed at all. Still rugged as hell, still amazing.

So great you can sp/ understand different languages that get you by..and you know local history.. full respect 👊👊

The way Bald just takes things in his stride that would have most of the rest of us crapping ourselves is amazing. Love this content!

Sad you didn't make it to the north. I made a trip with the motorcycle a few years ago and spent 1 month there. Once you've made it to the northern highlands the landscape turns into a stunning scenario of green valleys and the biggest mountains.

That is surreal that they have guys escorting you around with AK-47's, really hits home with how dangerous the borders with Afghanistan and Iran are.

there will likely come a day when the headline will read, famous RU-vidr body found after kidnapping and extortion attempt in Islamic hellsville. R.I.P.

i love how he genuinely knows the slang of the languages he goes, i feel like that’d make the experience so much better

Man every time a new bald and bankrupt video comes up I’ll click faster than a lightning. Never disappoints

So glad to have you back!

Solo, duo, or trio, always having a good time watching your videos! Even in the roughest of scenery, your good humor always ends up taking over 😊

Congrats on the 4 millions subscribers Mr. Bald !

Thanks for the video Mr B&B Congratulations on 4M subscribers 🎉🎉

You never fail to Amaze B&B....Respect to you. I'm 72 and You do more to make me proud to be a fellow Englishman than ALL those corrupt fools in Parliament. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Thank you. 👊

Dude. You´re completely out of your mind and I fuc*ing love it :D

One of the best b&b videos ever. Just fascinating footage. Guy is just absolutely nuts, and I love him for it. Anyone with the travel bug can only be inspired.

This was incredible. I'll never get to visit Pakistan's... certainly not off the beaten track like this, but this gives such a real sense of what the experience would be like. I really felt how far away from the western world this is is.

Independence has certainly served Pakistan well. Hasn't advanced an inch since '47, a real time capsule.

Great content, risky and brave. All the best for you Bald.

The young guard was a marvel in comedic timing, imagine how delighted he'll be showing this to friends and family.

I have seen many food and travel videos of Pakistan and the people there seem extremely friendly and welcoming to outsiders.

Simon must have bailed out on the rest of the trip to hang out at a McDonalds

This video brings back memories of my childhood train rides in India! It had a similar feel. While stations in India are much more modern these days, your not so solo ride brings nostalgia for those older journeys.. :-)

Bro what an adventure. That guard with the AK guitar was a riot! Despite all the tension with terrorism, the Pakistani people are so kind and frriendly! This was a real treat to watch. Be safe 🫡

If I heard correctly (and it's very possible I didn't) the fella at 28:40 said he spoke Brahui? If so, that's an interesting language. It's related to the languages of south India, and its the furthest flung of all the languages of the Dravidian groups of languages. Pre history is very mysterious, but many people believe that this language is the last remnant of the languages spoken in the Indus valley or Harappan civilisation still in that region, before Sanskrit entered the region.

I was just in Karachi for a week 3 months ago but never felt comfortable filming publicly. Thanks for documenting the reality of Pakistan! And also the history lessons

Ben, your level of different domestic culture is amazing! Thank you for this journey! Your fan from Baikal-Amur-Magistral)

Thank you Benjamin for taking us places like this, so we don't have to go there.😎

Imagine yourself as a clear foreigner travelling along with no care just filming yourself and everyone is staring at you. Bald has MASSIVE balls. Truly admirable.

Google says Cobras only live for 20 years😁

Absolutely brilliant Ben Amazing work 👏👏👏 Love the videos Phil

Even when travelling in ‘difficult’ conditions/situations it’s an experience. Bald shows how to make the most of it. His glass is half full - Backpacker shows the realism, his glass has a hole in it. Thanks to both of you for roughing it and making me think twice about taking my wife there touring!
