🇵🇰I have always wanted to travel to mysterious Kafiristan which is nestled in a couple of small valleys in the north of Pakistan. However to reach the northern mountains I would first need to pass through Balochistan, a region of the country that had been fought over for millennia but never quite conquered. In fact just the day before i arrived Iran bombed it. So let's just say, things didn't quite go as expected when I met the Pakistani military...Join me as we cruise the streets of Quetta.

Follow @SimonWilson12 and @BackpackerBen for their updates from Pakistan.

Edit: it seems Alexander the Great didn’t go through the Bolan Pass as I thought 😂 F

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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!

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