World's Most Dangerous Highway - Fairy Meadows, Pakistan

Good morning. We are in the town of Chilas right now. It's a big day, because we're going on a hike up the mountain. We're taking our van to some Jeeps, and then the Jeeps aregonna drive up the mountain, and then we're gonna offload. We have some porters helpingus carry stuff up the mountain. And we're gonna camp out at base camp on one of the highestmountains in the world. So pretty exciting stuff. Can't wait. Wow, Pakistan. You're just full of views. I have never seen mountains like this. I've seen a lot ofdifferent mountain ranges around the world, but none that were just full of barren rock, and so immense, and so many of them.

 Our whole drive yesterdaywas nonstop mountains. These stretch all the wayfrom the Himalayas to China, just, they're massive,they're massive mountains. I promise there's a chanceit might break. (laughs) - But anything for the vlog, right? - Anything for the vlog. This is the kinda stuff Iwould do before I was vlogging. If there was a rooftop, I'm gonna try and find out how to get there. And then,- Ninjas. - then vlogging just kinda happened. And you can capture that. (car horn beeps) You got this. - I'm not as brave as the rooftop ninja. (Siya laughs) - [Siya] You got it. Boom! Look at that. - Landed it. (people chattering) - Quickly went to the shopto get supplies for our hike. I got some Gatorade and toilet paper. It's all I need. Okay, the bare essentials.(car horn beeps loudly) Toilet paper is necessity. Especially if you're not used to washing your tush with water,that is an acquired skill. How are you on washingyour tush with water? - I'm a pro.- A pro? - I'm a seasoned butt gun veteran. (Siya laughs) And I'm not too shabby withthe plastic one, as well. The one that you toss it with your hand. - [Siya] Impressive. - Thanks man. - Yeah. We'll get that tutorial later. (upbeat music) (truck horn beeps) - I'm a vlogger.- Really? - Genuinely. Yeah, but I just haven'theld a camera before. - He's a reece. (all laugh) Very new to the game.- This is your initiation into vlogging.- Yeah. (all scream) - What the fuck?- A bit of warning, mate. - Wow, that was a little scary. We were unprepared for the car to move. - And we're off. (upbeat music) - It's mildly dangerousbeing on top of the car. But it's also incredible. Way better than being inside the car. You get a 360 view ofbeing in the mountains. It's phenomenal. Hurts the butt, though. - Just trying to get comfy. Just try to make them fit. (girls scream) - Oh my god.- Whoa. (girls screaming) - [Girl] Don't wreck! - You guys. - Now he's really having a laugh. - [Siya] Hello. Hello.- Hi. (truck horn beeps) - [Siya] Hello, feet in the back.

  Who's feet?- I dunno. (truck horn beeps) - [Man] Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.- What's in that? Oh, nothing. (upbeat music)(girl screams happily) - Amazing. (speaking in foreign language) - These Jeeps are from the '40s and '50s, they were bought by the Pakistani army, - Okay. - to use, from the Americans,to use as military vehicles. Then, in the '70s, once it were made we're running out ofaction, they were auctioned. And they were all boughtby tour operators. - Oh wow.- So now the terrain we're going on now, our coaster, the CPIC Pak Tour bus can not go. It has to be this.- Wow, it has to be this Jeep. - Has to be this Jeep.- Very cool. - '40s and '50s these were made in. So we're talking like- Amazing. - 60, 70 years old.- Yeah, really. They're looking good. - Look, feel that. What car, that's made offucking, what is that? - [Siya] Yeah, that's pure steel. (laughs) - [Man Wearing Black] They'renot fucking around, you know? - [Siya] Yeah, I'd take a bullet. - Have you, check thicc.- Thicc Jeep. Wow, that hurt actually. - [Man Wearing Black] Andyou all got the VIP one. - [Siya] Yes. I don't know what that means. But we'll see. Where are we headed right now? - Fairy Meadows. Which is basically the redundantbase camp for Nanga Parbat. But it's the most beautifulone, and with the best view. So the actual one that theyuse for the base camp now is on the other side of the mountain, 'cause an easier climb, butthey used to think this one, Fairy Meadows, was the easiest climb, so we used to climb from here. not been in this area.

just can- Relax. - say bye bye and take off. - Take off, yeah?- Yeah. You will be up there like couple of hours before us.- Fantastic. So make sure you ask themto prepare some tea for us. - Yeah.- For when we arrive there. - I will get your bed ready.- I know you are going to get the best room up there. (several people laugh) First come, first served. - Z, are you taking a horse?- Yeah. - [Siya] And then he gets the best room.- I told Jessica, I'd love to hike,- He said he will. - I love hiking, but Iget sciatica while hiking. - I see.- Yeah. - Z.- Yeah, uh-huh. - That's what they all say.- Boo. - It's our meal before the hike. We have cauliflower, whichis (speaks foreign language). (speaking in foreign language) - Do they have any ketchup?(man speaks foreign language) - Oh, (speaks foreign language) is potato.- Ketchup, yeah. - This is (speaks foreign language).- Oh they do, yeah. (speaks foreign language) - [Man] This is (speaks foreign language). (speaks foreign language) - And (speaks foreignlanguage) is cauliflower. - And beyond.- Even beyond. - Sky is the limit.- That is the limit. - We have started our hike. We're going to the very top. Right behind me. - On top, hike.- So it'll be about three hours.(speaking in foreign language) - Siya, you cheat.- This is Uber Pakistan. (Siya laughs) I mean, when am I gonna ride a horse in the mountains of You know, let's see, whathave we driven for, 24 hours of pure driving at least?- Yeah. - Right? So you gotta put in thework to come see this shit. - [Siya] Right, right. - You guys are probablylike, Pakistani people, I would say, not more than, apart from the people that live here, tourist-wise, I wouldn't say more than a couple of million have been here. So 1% of the population.- That's not many. Yeah.- So you guys are well ahead of most of them. - Nice.- Yeah. - Amazing. (dramatic music) Oh, okay, so this is the most dangerous highway in the world. And I can see why. We only have maybe threemeters before this drop-off, and that is, that's almost 90 degrees, like you're going down, if you veer off theroad a tiny little bit. If you have to swerve, if a rock breaks, like this, there's no surviving that. 

You're tumbling 500 feet to the bottom, which is right here. Boom. Glad we're not crossing that bridge. That would be a little scary. Because nothing we've doneso far has been scary. We are so close to the edge. Ridiculous. One wrong turn. Wow.- Or a rock just falls and breaks.- Yeah. - Just, it's over for us. But other than that, it's great.- It's great. It's great. The things we do for adventure. - Starting to make sense why this is called one ofthe most dangerous roads (horn beeps)in the world. - [Man] Oh look at the goats. Watch out for the goats. (people scream) - Just in advance, I'm sorry mom. (dramatic music) - [Siya] Think man, what do you think?- It's fucking crazy. I've never done, I mean, look, we did theother side of Pakistan, but that was the mostintense drive I've ever done. That was like wow, wow.- Oh yeah. You lived, man. We lived to tell the story.- We lived, we lived. Yeah, but we've gotta get back down now.- There's still more adventure left, though. I wouldn't say we've lived yet. - [Siya] (laughing) Yeah. - There's still more to come. - More to come.- Yeah. - Brooke, how was that drive? - That was one of the bestthings I've ever done. So stoked right now.- Amazing. - You love it?- Oh, I loved it. I loved it. It was like part adventurous, part scary. - Part I'm gonna die, butpart I'll be happy to die. - Right, right.- It was like a real-life roller coaster.- Yeah. - Yeah, my stomach feels a little queasy.- A real life roller coaster with no safety barriers,- Nothing. - No one's tried and tested it before, it's a real life roller coaster, you just go and find out. - [Siya] Tell us what's up. - I hope you enjoyed the ride. The most dangerous road in the world. - [Siya] (laughs) We did. - Now we are startingour three-hours hike. And it's a steady uphill walk all the way to the Fairy Meadows. The world-renowned mostbeautiful place in Pakistan. With wonderful views up Nanga Parbat. So we are walking to those cables. In 10 minutes we'll get there, where some hot lunch is ready. - Whoo!- And after enjoying this hot lunch, we will start our hike. Before getting to the cable stairs,- And what will I do when you start your hike? - Well, you Pakistan again? Right, you gotta take advantage. We are going to beclimbing to 3,000 meters. - Look alive!- That is three kilometers above sea level. The other guys in thegroup are making fun of me, saying I'm a deserter, that I'm not doing thehike, that I'm on the horse. I'm gonna do the hike, I just wanted the experienceof riding the horse. I'll just give it another minute. While I relax here. (speaking in foreign language)(horse whinnies) - Okay, so I got off the horse. Walked for about 20 minutes,and I'm back on the horse. Feeling very short of breath, and my backpack is like 30 pounds. I'm not used to hiking in altitude. We hike back home in Canada,but it's not a high altitude. It's like around lakes. So, and it doesn't evenmatter if you're in shape. Altitude affects different people, no matter what your weight, nomatter what your athleticism. I've seen athletes thatcan't do mountains, and I've seen peoplewho are way overweight just fly up mountains without a problem. So we have stopped at the halfway point, people are taking a pee,horse is taking a pee, and let me just be honestwith you guys for a second. I hate climbing mountains. I really dislike it. I've done a lot of mountainclimbing in my life. I've climbed the Himalayas,I've climbed the Tatras, I've climbed the Rocky Mountains, and I just, I don't enjoy it the same way I enjoy hiking through woods at like, at ground level. That's my kinda hiking, even some hills. But hiking like super highup, I just, I can't do it. I'm like catching my breath, and I'm looking down at my feet, and I'm exhausted, and Ican't even take in the sights, because my body has justabsorbed all my energy. So I am enjoying this horse. Put it that way. Hey, I am very impressed. - With what? - [Siya] That you kept up with the horses. (Brooke laughs)You're the only one. No one's come, it's been10 minutes, no one's come. - I was hooking it. I was hooking it. - Some with my sunglasses.- The battle wounds. - Battle wounds.- Battle wounds. - The scars of war. - [Siya] His horse gotkicked by another horse. - While I was on the horse.

You're the one who got kicked? - Yeah, and he jumped up.- You didn't even see. - I saw.- How did you, oh you saw. - You know what happened. Oh let's see, she saw me off,noticed that, what happened. - No, I said are you okay.- The horse got kicked. The horse got kicked.- See, the horse was a female. And the other horse was a male. - Yeah, I didn't get this part, Brooke. - So he was,- No, I didn't get the audio on that one.- excited to see her. - Brooke, apparently theother horse was a horse. (water rushing) - Yeah.- You got it. - I'm off the horse again. On the horse, off the horse. That's our first sign of snow. Once you reach a certainaltitude, you get snow. Snow-capped mountains. Look at that. Beautiful. (rocks clattering) Whew. Okay, so we've now dismounted the horses. And we're on foot. The last little bit of the trek. (breathing heavily) It's tough, it's very tough. Mountaineers, peoplewho hike mountains, my props to you guys, 'cause geez. It's not easy. Okay, I walked about half the way up. The other half was on the horse.

 But man, I am sweaty and exhausted. Can't wait to chug like a liter of water. And take off this backpack. Geez, this thing's heavy. But what a gorgeousplace to spend the night. The sacrifice is worth the reward. Right?- Rightly said. Yeah. - We're still waiting on a few of the people thatdidn't take the horse. So they're behind. I just hope they make it before sundown, because it would suckto be climbing at night. I've done that before. It's not fun at all. You made it bro.- Yeah. - [Siya] You made it. You did it!- Woo-hoo! - Yeah, I made it.- Yay. - Killer.- Whew. - These are the cabins we'regonna be spending the night in. Wow. (sweeping music) The word awesome is used too often. That for moments likethis and views like this, get described as awesome, because they create awe and inspire awe. This is what awesome truly means. How crazy was that Jeep ride? That, it was like, it was oneof the most incredible things I've ever done in my life. It was both scary and adventurous, and thrilling, and wewere so close to the edge, but the views were spectacular. I've never done any, my chair is turning. I've never done anythinglike that in my life. And I don't know when I'm gonna have another opportunity todo something like that. These are just some ofthe incredible experiences that Pakistan has to offer. But not a lot of people know, because not many tourists go there. Soon they're gonna open uptheir visa application process, so it's gonna be a lot easier to apply, and to get into Pakistan. But I mean, I hope youguys enjoyed this video. The next one that's coming out is us coming down the mountain. So we're doing all that stuff in reverse. 

Then we go to Hunza Valley. Hunza Valley is one of themost beautiful places on earth. It's this tropical little valley. It's this little paradise. I know a lot of you watching are from Pakistan andthe surrounding area.
