Looks like a really nice place to have an adventure!
Kay M Jan 14, 2008, 11:08am UTC
That was a scary ride. I enjoyed this view.
Nana to Seven Cutiepies Jan 14, 2008, 11:58am UTC
I'm not sure I could relax during this journey. Great view though.
Priscilla (wishing I was in Costa Rica) ~. Jan 14, 2008, 12:01pm UTC
Wow, what an adventure!
J. P. Jan 14, 2008, 12:23pm UTC
Looks kinda scary driving there!

YIKES! That looks scarier than my trip to the mountains of WV!
Giving you a ten, but staying comfy at home. Not interested.

I'm with Ron. That reminds me of some of the national parks out in Utah with no guard rail. That was a white knuckle trip.

Very nice, Nauman. Though I didn't have the chance to vist Fairy Meadows, the music and scenery in this clip brought back great memories of the region. Thanks.
Jerri H. Jan 14, 2008, 3:02pm UTC
Great! Thanks Nauman~
Renu Gera R. Jan 14, 2008, 4:04pm UTC
Congratulation for your first video. Thanks for sharing! However it was a scary thing for me. I felt as if I am going to fall in this valley any moment. Hope I will find less scary video next time.
ashish j. Jan 14, 2008, 4:39pm UTC

Diana Raabe Jan 14, 2008, 5:08pm UTC
Great!
Margaret C. Jan 14, 2008, 6:51pm UTC
I really enjoyed that , and I thought the roads in the highlands in Scotland were bad lol xx

What an adventurous ride!!

Help! Can you identify the "Small Mammal in Laos" (article) or the flower or fungus (in photo gallery)?
jackie s. Jan 14, 2008, 11:23pm UTC
great video - nicely paced - gotta say: those are some hectic turns in the road.
Buzz B. Jan 14, 2008, 11:30pm UTC
Alrightythen ! That was interesting. So, where were you going and with who ? Because I don't think you could drive and video at the same time. Or can you ?
Nauman Malik Aug 27, 2010, 2:17am UTC
The jeep drive by local driver and its the way back to KKH from Fairy Meadows first base camp of Nanga Parbat.

nauman,
i had been to jammu - kashmir years ago to visit AMARNATH shrine . not to worship but
to take land scape photography . which is 14000 above sea level . it took two days to cover 110 k.m by walk !it was due to poor visibility (fog ) and short of breath . click on my ALL IMAGES you wiill find alll the way to amarnath . a good place for trakking and land scape photography .
i like watching your vedio .
Nauman Malik Jan 15, 2008, 4:18am UTC
Jeol you are right, these are great memories for me too.

Yes Renu, its scary and we were scared too when we were going up and we were not able to open our cameras, but we got some courage when we were going down. Number of adventurers visit this place from many countries mostly western.

Buzz, In this video we were coming back from Fairy Meadows, the place is Northern Pakistan in Diamir Region before Nanga Parbat base camp. I was with my brother and 2 cousins. the local man is driving the jeep and you can rent it from Raikot Bridge for back trip in almost 50 USD.

Jivan, it seems interesting. Let the peace in region and ease in Visa, I will definetly go there, because Kashmir is paradise on earth and more beautiful than Switzerland.
Barbara B. Jan 15, 2008, 3:32pm UTC
Nauman. I would not take that ride not for any amount
of money it is way to dangerous to think about it even.
I was trying to enjoy this but the dangers lurking there
were to much. You're a very brave young man.
Linda K. Jan 15, 2008, 4:04pm UTC
Wow, that was amazing! Hope you didn't spill that cup of coffee in your hand?! LOL. Thanks for taking us along.
Syed The Shah Jan 15, 2008, 6:09pm UTC
Very nice video, I had a bad experience last year at Naran and Shogran.
That jeep had just slipped down the track, Thanks Allah we were safe somehow.
Well done...
Ruth B. Jan 15, 2008, 7:09pm UTC
Harsh looking countryside. The road reminds me of the one time I went up Pike's Peak in a car. Never ever again. The road in the film wasn't quite so bad, so I think I could do that one...maybe. :)
Nauman Malik Jan 16, 2008, 8:11am UTC
Tom I used Windows Movie Maker, its simple and easy tool to edit movies.
Jennifer- Very lucky mommy S. Jan 16, 2008, 9:22am UTC
great video thanks for sharing!
Lydia (part of the solution) Shelley Jan 19, 2008, 2:51pm UTC
Better you than me... just viewing the video made my poor heart race. I don't think I could bear the reality!
Money $. Jan 20, 2008, 6:39pm UTC
Good video! Thanks for sharing!
Erica M. Jan 21, 2008, 8:02pm UTC

Great photos!! I soooo would not be able to take that Jeep drive! It scared me even on video! LOL
Lucky Stars Jan 25, 2008, 4:00pm UTC
Thanks for sharing this. It does look quite scary but I am always more afraid coming DOWN a mountain than I am going up.
Karoline L. Feb 1, 2008, 7:10pm UTC
This video was great, looks like it could have been a little scary, that last turn was a doozy! Loved it.
Michael Harvey Feb 8, 2008, 4:32pm UTC
Thanks for this view of the world. It felt like I was there hanging on for dear life.
Sujata (friendly 'Suji' ) S. Feb 15, 2008, 9:27am UTC
Enjoyed the trek and the song .... Thank you so much !

A treat as i am reminded of the trekking trips undertaken in 'Amarnth' & 'Valley of Flowers' !!!

I'm checking out all the videos I might have missed on Gather, came across this one and thought I'd send you a 10. Have a nice night.
Martha R. Sep 7, 2008, 9:46am UTC

Have a Great Sunday.......
Tyler Malloy Nov 23, 2008, 7:24pm UTC
cool
Deborah C. May 19, 2009, 5:34am UTC
OMGosh, the part where the road literally turns on itself would have given me heart failure. Great video!
Nauman Malik Aug 27, 2010, 2:20am UTC
