Indians Can't Go Here... My Journey into a Restricted Region | Full Film

I go on a thrilling adventure on my Royal Enfield into one of the world's most militarised regions - Indians call it Pakistan-occupied Kashmir or Ladakh, and Pakistanis call it Gilgit-Baltistan. 1.4 billion Indians can't visit this region, so I'll give you a full tour. Watch part 2, ending at the highest border crossing in the world: https://youtu.be/LNgp16FXtcc. Want to do the same trip? See My Karakoram Highway Travel Super Guide https://blog.karlrock.com/my-karakoram-highway-travel-super-guide/. Along the way, I visited the notorious Pakistani city of Abbottabad, where Bin Laden was discovered, and Balakot, the site of India's dramatic surgical strike. Together, we'll explore the breathtaking, rugged beauty of the disputed Kashmir region, meet incredibly warm locals, enjoy delicious food, and take in the stunning scenery. This is The Impossible Journey. This travel film captures the physical challenges of my daring ride and the unforgettable experiences and awe-inspiring moments I encountered along the way. Clarification: Since India's political map update in 2019, this region is now officially referred to in India as Ladakh. However, it is still commonly known in India as Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). For their map, refer to the Survey of India's website. Disclaimer: This video is a personal travel documentary and does not take a political stance on the Kashmir dispute. My focus is to share the beauty, culture, and experiences of this unique region with those who may not have the opportunity to visit.
