Karl Watson: Travel Documentaries

In this first episode we touch down in Islamabad and then making the 2 day journey driving up into the mountains, eventually arriving at the beautiful village of Tarishing. From here we trek to the the base camp of Nanga Parbat, the 9th highest mountain in the world.

This was my first time in Pakistan and we went on a 3 week trip travelling through the spectacular mountains of the Gilgit-Baltistan region. We were travelling as part of a bespoke tour I hosted with Intrepid Travel. In this episode we drive to the village of Astore and up to Rama Lake. Then we continued onto the popular Hunza Valley. Here we stayed in the village of Gulmit; walked across the Hussaini suspension bridge, which is supposed to be the most dangerous bridge in the world; and hiked up to Passu Glacier.

In this 3rd episode we drive along one of the highest highways in the world to the Khunjerab Pass on the border with China. We then explore the quiet village of Passu, before driving to the remote village of Shimshal where we spend the next 3 nights.

In this 4th and final epsiode, we travel back to the Hunza Valley. We enjoyed speedboating on the Attabad Lake and then arrived in the popular tourist town of Karimabad. From here we went up to Hoper Glacier, explored some forts and finished up at the Eagles Nest view point.
