The Lost Utopia In Pakistan's Mountains | Road To Shangri-La | Odyssey 

Now all of Pakistan has radicals not just the north 😂.

@@qwerty83484 that's not a decent thing to say. Every country has its issues. Is yours issues free?

That must be filmed in early 2000s probably 2002-2003. I first visited hunza in 2007 when i was drastically different

I'd like to see a documentary where someone visits the USA and observes the locals and their strange customs as an outsider and shows how backwards they are. Oh wait I think Borat is on. Nevermind.

@@itaafanjum984 Typical. Playing the victim. Well, that's not a decent thing to be written and read. *Quran 9:29* "Fight against those who do not believe in Allāh or in the Last Day." *Quran 8:12* "I shall cast t____r into the hearts of those who disbelieved, so strike them upon the necks..." *Quran 9:111* “Allah has indeed purchased from the believers their lives and wealth in exchange for Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah and k__ or be k____.” *Quran 9:123* “Believers! Fight against the disbelievers who are near to you; and let them find harshness in you. Know that Allah is with the God-fearing. O ye who believe!” *Quran 47:4* “So when you meet those who disbelieve, strike their necks until, when you have inflicted slau _______ upon them, then secure their bonds, and either confer favor afterwards or ransom them until the war lays down its burdens. That is the command. And those who are k______ in the cause of Allah . . . never will He waste their deeds.”

Nowadays, thanks to modern technology, lots of independent, amateur travel vloggers are doing just that, eg. "Wandering Emma."

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Lol

😂

His name is David Adams and he has quite a few good documentaries 🙂

The host is there to distract ppl and prevent them from asking pertinent questions..

The camera guy was carrying his coat.

It’s very pagan actually it’s full of fortune tellers, sooth sayers, magicians, idolatry, grave worship, saint worship and shrines, very Hindu influenced.. the government and culture is not Islamic at all if that’s what you think you are wrong they are mostly from a extreme Sufi sect which is full of superstitions and made up rituals.

Which buses u hv watched in this video i live there. This is not magic signs its our language mentioning different area of the city. We are muslims and believing on magic is forbidden

Change your name to True tit end pal, there is no silly God!

as a after thought, i mean only respect here, as i love this show. i was just mentioning the similar appearance of the host and the fictional character, not the awefull characteristics

@@singinginthedark2786 I totally get you - hilarious! He’s the best. :)

Peskipiksi pesternomi 😄

I think you may be right. Guess I'm gonna have to do some digging.😅

Think you are getting it mixed up with the road to utopia which is about the Alaskan gold rush not this

James Hilton was probably inspired by the accounts of Xuanzang.

Maybe he'd gone there in Summers.

Not to worry: in a few years, there won't be any glaciers.

@@user-2c5Goi0fr8id-m we will have glaciers for forseeable future, but they may continue to shrink a while before they grow again. On average. Some are growing now.

I recently went to Kalash they living more peaceful then other areas in Pakistan. Western media always doing propaganda against muslims. They see procecution in Muslim countries but not is palastine. Kalashi people charge for everything if u talk with them or take a picture with them. So they r not so hospitable but yes they are Pakistani and we must give them respect. Everything has names so if muslims called ka*fir to non muslims then what is the problem.

They don't mind tourists at all

Actually afghanistan is in war pakistan not so much

But how can james go to manipur bcz manipur is burning by hindoos now.

I m living in Peshawar yes u can find anything in Peshawar bcz we have a large market names Karkhano Market where u can get everything imported from many countries

are you a pakistani?

@P. Tiesti Wait, there are still angry boomers calling people hippies when they do anything but deep throat America, good and bad? Lmao

“Here, more children will learn to use guns than go to school”. Yep. Just like parts of the good ol’ USA.

Pakistan has 97% muslims google it dude.

And notice that religion is only growing in less advanced parts of the world while it’s shrinking considerably elsewhere.

don't worry: there's a godless ideology sweeping the west that's worse than any religion you can imagine and it's destroying this world

@@i-never-look-at-replies-lol lots of new religions here in America. The difference is none of the believers will ever call it religion.

@@apoisonberry Islam is fastest growing religion in Euripe which is (according to you) "less advanced part of the world.."

@@muhammadsohaibtariq3087 It’s the rats that bring the plague.

He sounds like a fairy tale narrator, not like a factual reporter.

I can completely relate. Because you rub me the wrong way dopey.

sounds ok to me

@@johns4469 good?

Just finished and I think he’s a likable bro.

Because the documentaries you are producing around the world are amazing? And your time covering war torn countries are your credentials?

Maybe you're not too familiar with Western media, but it definitely does not have Christian overlords. Indeed, the media's pronounced anti-Christian bias has been its defining feature for the past 70 years.

@@AdmiralBonetoPick The region in which "this guy" is searching for _Shangri La_ may be characterized as remote, isolated and parochial; whose local politics will understandably be dominated by majoritarian community organizations. I do not intend to disregard the plight of minority groups living under such conditions however, the use of the term "Muslim overlords" panders to a popular-cotemporary Western trope - subliminal, if not overt - that Muslim cultures are backwards, fundamentalist, and even terrorist. Religion continues to influence Western politics, recently demonstrated by Donald Trump's courtship of fundamentalist Christian populations in the U.S., and Angela Merkel's majority Christian Democrat Union party in Germany. Since WWI the West has undertaken an insidious agenda against Muslim majority nations - supporting dictators and tyrannical monarchies, as well as violent religious extremists, to foil any progress by the people towards sovereign and secular democracy. Populations living under such conditions often gravitate towards religious dogmatism for comfort and relief from oppression - as they did in Iran under the U.S./U.K. backed dictatorship of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. The situation in Iran at the time of the Iranian Revolution was certainly more complicated; a secular Left movement joined forces with the religious Right to overthrow the Shah - the better organized Right assumed a more significant influence over the political landscape as Iran quickly became embroiled in a brutal war with U.S.- and Germany-backed Iraq throughout the 80s. Its worth bearing in mind that the U.S. and Germany gave Saddam Hussein the chemical weapons for use against Iran - chemical weapons that the U.S. would later use as a pretext for the invasion of Iraq. It is a facet of the subversive Western agenda (political and media) to sew divisiveness and polarize populations. "This guy's" reportage further enhances such a message. ...anyhow, that's my 2 cents.

@@PMunkS every Ill, forced marriage, stoning, and beating in Islamic patriarchal groups isn’t the fault of the west. If only it were that easy. Sometimes bad apples are just that.. Bad

​@@wally9935 When the Anglo-American and "allied" war-mongering conspiracy emerged victorious following the provoked WWI, and undertook to parcel the lands of the defeated Ottoman Empire - creating a class of regional disparate vassal-monarchs willing to siphon natural resources for the benefit of imperialist plunder - they consigned the majority already impoverished peoples (99%) of the former Ottoman State to obscurity and continuing poverty. Under such conditions of oppression, as implied in my previous post, right-wing fundamentalism flourishes as the marginalized population retreat into religious dogmatisms for promise of "salvation". At this time women in the U.S., U.K., France, Australia and Canada did not yet have the right (privilege) of voting. Women were largely banned from occupations that had been culturally-assigned for males alone. The social expectation of the married women was explicitly defined to serve the husband. Domestic violence was common and even depicted as normal behavior in cinema by leading men through the 1930s, 40s, 50s. Under such conditions "Western" women were subjected to patriarchal oppression into the 20th century, including arranged (read: forced) marriages. Women, men and children, in the majority Islamic nations carved out of the defeated Ottoman Empire, were subject to continuing Western-backed social retardation, as the majority Islamic nations were prevented from developing beyond a feudal subsistence economy - exploited populations disenfranchised from profiting from national resources and collective effort to mature towards modernity. Secular efforts to escape the retardingly-repressive monarchies were undermined; efforts towards secular democracy were overthrown with Western support. If you look back through the past 50 years alone, you will find that the U.S. has repeatedly supported religious fundamentalist organizations and governments including Israel, the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood, the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood, the Afghan Mujahidin (later the Taliban), ISIS/ISIL and the present Saudi regime. These are the extremists who are purported to resort to brutal archaic, dogmatisms many of which can also be found in the Torah/Talmud and Old Testament. It is ignorant to consider that all Muslims are fanatical as you seem to suggest. Muslim communities are continually besieged by Anglo-American political-economic interests that often pander to Judeo-Christian right-wing supremacists. The West has (present tense) a very active hand in shaping Muslim societies, and therefore cultures; not least of which in their ongoing support for dictators who pander to Anglo-American domineering and economic interests.

@@PMunkS your reasoning is so on point 👍🏿, it is indeed important to know and remember one's history.
