This video is part of <World Theme Travel - Traveling the Karakoram Highway in Pakistan Part 4, People of the Pamir Plateau>, which aired on March 12, 2015. The Pamir Plateau, which connects the Hindu Kush and Karakoram Mountains. In that place, untouched by human hands, lives pristine nature and pure, unspoiled people. On the way to the end of the Karakoram Highway and the border with China, we cross Lake Ahmadabad, which was created on the site of an avalanche, and head to Simshal, a village untouched by outsiders. It was a secluded land, but its existence was finally made known after the road was opened. We meet an old man who weaves yak hair rugs and hear stories about the village, and have a pleasant time playing tug-of-war with students who study hard despite the harsh environment. Passing through the last city on the way to the border, 'Sost', we drive over the endless snow and glaciers until we reach the 'Khunjerab Pass', also known as the Bloody Canyon. ✔ Program name: World Theme Travel - Going on the Karakoram Highway in Pakistan Part 4 People of the Pamir Plateau Broadcast date: 2015.03.12 #WorldThemeTravel #Pakistan #KarakoramHighway #AltitudeSickness #EternalSnow #Shimshal
