Bags Packed Family

We are back in India! It has been 5 years since we left Chennai, but it feels good to be back “home.” Now, we never spent much time in Delhi when we lived here, so now we are coming back to explore the sights, sounds, and tastes of Incredible India. Join us as we explore the streets of Delhi for the first time. We will be traveling on foot, by auto rickshaw, and on the metro in this video. We eat at our favorite South Indian restaurant (Saravanan Bhavan) and then later load up on Indian street food. We will give you a tour of our budget hotel, as well. This video is loaded with experiences. Welcome to India! We are so glad to have you with us on this journey. —————————————————— 📧 CONNECT WITH US » Business Inquiries — hello@bagspackedfamily.com 📱GET MORE CONTENT » Instagram — https://instagram.com/bagspackedfamily » Facebook — https://facebook.com/bagspackedfamily 🎵 COPYRIGHT FREE MUSIC » https://www.epidemicsound.com/referral/60bjrt 🌏 AIRBNB » https://www.airbnb.com/c/jonathanr5149?currency=USD 🗺 BOOK YOUR HOTEL » https://www.booking.com/index.html?aid=2250017 📸 CAMERA GEAR » Camera — https://amzn.to/33A80CH » Mod — https://amzn.to/3tMBtUC » Grip — https://amzn.to/3tJsKCO » Wind Blocker — https://amzn.to/3IpJ3J3 —————————————————— ABOUT US We are the Bags Packed Family: Jonathan and Kelly with our three children.

Today is all about shopping! We are on the hunt for traditional Pakistani clothes: Shalwar Kameez. We wanted to hit up a local market, but it was just too hot. Instead, we decided to embrace the air conditioning and head to the luxurious Centarus Mall! We begin the day at Cinnabon. Then, we head to three different stores in order to outfit all five of us in beautiful Pakistani shalwar kameez clothing. After clothes shopping, we head to the food court for lunch. It’s there we let the kids decide what to do next. You guessed it: Fun City. We spent hours at the Fun City Arcade. Before wrapping up our day at the mall, Cedar and I got henna tattoos. It was a fun-filled day, and I think the kids were thoroughly worn out by the end of it. If you visit Islamabad, be sure to visit this mall for shopping, entertainment, fast food, a movie, and air conditioning. —————————————————— 📧 CONNECT WITH US » Business Inquiries — hello@bagspackedfamily.com 📱GET MORE CONTENT » Instagram — https://instagram.com/bagspackedfamily » Facebook — https://facebook.com/bagspackedfamily 🎵 COPYRIGHT FREE MUSIC » https://www.epidemicsound.com/referral/60bjrt 🌏 AIRBNB » https://www.airbnb.com/c/jonathanr5149?currency=USD 🗺 BOOK YOUR HOTEL » https://www.booking.com/index.html?aid=2250017 📸 CAMERA GEAR » Camera — https://amzn.to/33A80CH » Mod — https://amzn.to/3tMBtUC » Grip — https://amzn.to/3tJsKCO » Wind Blocker — https://amzn.to/3IpJ3J3 —————————————————— ABOUT US We are the Bags Packed Family: Jonathan and Kelly with our three children.

If there is one thing our family loves, it’s a good street food challenge! After exploring Islamabad, we knew we needed to go in search of some good street food: cheese rolls, chicken, burgers, and more! We love eating all this Pakistani food, especially the bread (chapati and roti), burgers, and desserts. One thing we didn’t expect was the tandoori chai; it was fantastic! Pakistan is known for delicious biriyani and burgers, but there are plenty of vegetarian options. One thing this vlog can’t show you is how delicious it smells here with all the charcoal grills going. Join us on this family adventure, exploring the Pakistani Street foods of F-7 in Islamabad. Forest will give you his review of fresh lime soda, cheese rolls, and ice cream.

There is so much to experience in Northern Pakistan’s Hunza Valley! We start our day with deliciously huge Yak burgers! We eat way too much! Instead of taking a nap, we head to another thrill-seeking suspension bridge: The Rainbow Bridge Passu. The river water is ripping here, and it is unbelievably scary to look down. The kids don’t seem to be phased by it, but Kelly and I take it cautiously slow. Later, we get to visit a women’s-only carpet weaving co-op. We learn about natural dyes and nature-based patterns. What an inspiring women’s run business. We end the night with a traditional Pakistani BBQ dinner of chicken, chapati, and daal mash. —————————————————— 📧 CONNECT WITH US » Business Inquiries — hello@bagspackedfamily.com 📱GET MORE CONTENT » Instagram — https://instagram.com/bagspackedfamily » Facebook — https://facebook.com/bagspackedfamily 🎵 COPYRIGHT FREE MUSIC » https://www.epidemicsound.com/referral/60bjrt 🌏 AIRBNB » https://www.airbnb.com/c/jonathanr5149?currency=USD 🗺 BOOK YOUR HOTEL » https://www.booking.com/index.html?aid=2250017 📸 CAMERA GEAR » Camera — https://amzn.to/33A80CH » Mod — https://amzn.to/3tMBtUC » Grip — https://amzn.to/3tJsKCO » Wind Blocker — https://amzn.to/3IpJ3J3 —————————————————— ABOUT US We are the Bags Packed Family: Jonathan and Kelly with our three children.

Are you sitting down? Take a seat and hold on before you watch this! Today we walk across one of the world’s longest suspension bridges. Welcome to the Hussaini Suspension Bridge. This bridge is mostly a local commuter bridge that swings above the Hunza River in the Gilgit-Baltistan region of Northern Pakistan. Recently, it has become a tourist destination. A handful of YouTubers have crossed this bridge, but has anyone done it with a baby? When we got to the bridge we noticed that there is a zipline, as well. Jonathan, Granite, and Cedar all decide to take the zipline across the Hunza River. Kelly and Forest didn’t want to miss out on this experience, so they decide to walk across this nerve-wracking bridge, twice. This bridge was really scary for us, but as you see in the video, a few people just walked across it without even holding on. Northern Pakistan has so much potential to be an outdoor adventure destination: mountaineering, hiking, camping, ziplining, etc. We imagine over the next few years you will see growth potential outdoor adventures here for mountain biking, mountain climbing, rafting, whitewater kayaking and canoeing, and more. Lakes, rivers, and mountains: Northern Pakistan was made for this! Coming soon, even more, amazing outdoor opportunities at Attabad Lake. —————————————————— 📧 CONNECT WITH US » Business Inquiries — hello@bagspackedfamily.com 📱GET MORE CONTENT » Instagram — https://instagram.com/bagspackedfamily » Facebook — https://facebook.com/bagspackedfamily 🎵 COPYRIGHT FREE MUSIC » https://www.epidemicsound.com/referral/60bjrt 🌏 AIRBNB » https://www.airbnb.com/c/jonathanr5149?currency=USD 🗺 BOOK YOUR HOTEL » https://www.booking.com/index.html?aid=2250017 📸 CAMERA GEAR » Camera — https://amzn.to/33A80CH » Mod — https://amzn.to/3tMBtUC » Grip — https://amzn.to/3tJsKCO » Wind Blocker — https://amzn.to/3IpJ3J3 —————————————————— ABOUT US We are the Bags Packed Family: Jonathan and Kelly with our three children.

Today’s video is packed with adventure! This has been one of the longest days in Pakistan. We begin our day with a 3-hour hike out of Fairy Meadows. Check out the beautiful views of Nanga Parbat and the Raikot glacier. Then, we load a jeep and ride along the scariest road of our lives, forwards and in reverse on Pakistan's deadliest road. This is our second time on this road and both times, we thought we might just drop 1,000 meters to our death. We made it, though, thanks to our driver’s incredible skills. We reward ourselves at a roadside stand of fresh cherries and apricots. Northern Pakistan’s Hunza Valley is famous for its fruits. This is cherry and apricot season, and they grow apples later on in the year. The best part of this stop is that they pack the fruit in the snow from Babusar Pass! After a few more hours of riding along the Karakoram Highway, we stop at a bizarre for chapshoro (Pakistani mutton pizza) and pink popcorn! Let us know if you know what it is made from (we don’t think it is made from corn). And, just when we think we couldn’t eat any more fruit, we come across several apricot trees right on the side of the road. Jonathan is eating fruit from the tree when the owner sees him and brings him a kilo of freshly picked apricots for our trip. Everyone we have met in Pakistan is so friendly. Also, check out the scenery of the Hunza Valley in this part of the video: snow-capped mountains, terraced hillsides, and mountains for miles. Then, we stopped in our tracks, as we come up to a flooded road crossing. On this single car road, there is no way to “go back.” We are stuck in a queue of cars headed straight towards the flood. We watch car after car attempt to cross it, and then it is our turn. Can our SUV make it? Many doubts run through our minds, which seems to be a recurring thing for us today. Luckily, our driver is used to this and his driving skills get us across. Before we get to our homestay, we stop for dinner. We load up on chicken korma and spicey dal mosh. We load the car one more time and before we know it we are finally “home.” We are welcomed by our wonderful host family and we snuggle into bed for a much needed rest. —————————————————— 📧 CONNECT WITH US » Business Inquiries — hello@bagspackedfamily.com 📱GET MORE CONTENT » Instagram — https://instagram.com/bagspackedfamily » Facebook — https://facebook.com/bagspackedfamily 🎵 COPYRIGHT FREE MUSIC » https://www.epidemicsound.com/referral/60bjrt 🌏 AIRBNB » https://www.airbnb.com/c/jonathanr5149?currency=USD 🗺 BOOK YOUR HOTEL » https://www.booking.com/index.html?aid=2250017 📸 CAMERA GEAR » Camera — https://amzn.to/33A80CH » Mod — https://amzn.to/3tMBtUC » Grip — https://amzn.to/3tJsKCO » Wind Blocker — https://amzn.to/3IpJ3J3 —————————————————— ABOUT US We are the Bags Packed Family: Jonathan and Kelly with our three children.

Good morning, Pakistan! Today, we kick off a 10-hour road trip with a delicious Islamabad street food breakfast of fried eggs and paratha. Our only regret is we didn’t know to ask for channay (chickpeas in curry) to go with this delicious bread. Now we know! Wait until you see where we stop for lunch (Hint: It’s in a river). Today, we are heading to Northern Pakistan’s Hunza Valley. We will spend the next 10 days exploring the valleys and ridgelines in the mountain ranges that harbor some of the world’s tallest mountains. We even get to drive over the Babusar Top Pass, which is closed most of the year due to snow cover. We continue to follow the Karakoram Highway all the way to Gilgit. We end the night on a market hunt for snacks for tomorrow’s hike to Fairy Meadows!
