From Allai Valley, we continued deeper into the mountains towards Gallai Meadows . A remote high-altitude meadow located near 10,000 ft above sea level in northern Pakistan.
What looked like a short 20 KM route on the map slowly turned into one of the toughest mountain drives we have experienced so far. Broken roads, water crossings, rocky inclines, narrow stretches, hidden villages and endless hairpin turns made this journey unforgettable.
The last 10 kilometers alone took more than 2 hours.
This is not a luxury travel vlog.
This is simply the real road to Gallai Meadows.
For Pakistanis living abroad in the UK, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Canada, USA and beyond — this is the side of northern Pakistan many people never get to see.

This whole area is indeed beautiful beyond imagination. Also, the fact that almost no one has heard off or seen these areas, adds a chrismatic charm to this area. Normally I enjoy the travelling more than the destination, but for journey I can say the destination totally justifies the harsh travelling conditions. Specially at around 30:54 when the view suddenly opens up at top, its simple breathtaking. It reminded me of WINDOWS XP default Wallpaper instantly. Words cannot comprehend the beauty of this place.
It was good to see you having some company as it provided us some additional camera angles to comprehend the actual toughness of the road conditions, other wise action camera image stabilization feature don't let the audience see the actual brutality of such off road tracks. Another thing that was really strange was the fields in steps in the start around 2:40 Normally such fields are in relatively small pockets but here the area of Fields was huge. I can't recall that I have ever seen such large area of crops in steps.
I remember, in your earlier videos such a as
"hidden hotels in Bhurben" and "GANGA CHOTI DHEERKOT", there used to be a camera auto-track in your INTROS, where u used to walk around and camera tracks your movement. Haven't seen that for some time now. It just a cool feature that adds a new variation in view because the viewers are dependent on the camera angels.
In the last video of Aliye, you left a hint of this meadow and I have been waiting ever since for this Vlog and it was worth waiting. In Intro, watching you wearing a hood while we sitting here in 42 degree, has its own cooling effect.
As always, your Vlog is not only about sightseeing but it's a complete experience for us as well where we get to enjoy every turn and moment of the journey is absolutely amazing. Thank you for creating these experiences for us. Can't wait for the next adventure.
