I found an incredible #Masjid in #Pakistan which i I found an incredible #Masjid in #Pakistan which is fed by natural spring water! The most pure water in the world. This is Ilyasi Mosque in #Abbottabad, Pakistan.  Taken from my tour of Abbottabad, Pakistan "I'm in the Town Where Bin Laden... 🇵🇰"  If you visit Ilyasi Mosque, don't forget to have chai and pakore next store in the street food market - best pakore in the world according to me!  #travelpakistan #travellersofpakistan #khyberpakhtunkhwa #travel #islam #mosque
I love it when people gain a greater appreciation I love it when people gain a greater appreciation for #India or #Pakistan through my videos. Some people don't understand it, but foreigners appreciate that I show both sides: - and +. That's how they know my content is real and unsponsored. There's no production team. I don't have to kiss ass because a travel video is sponsored by a Tourism Ministry or brand. It's just me and my camera. "Genuine" is one of the greatest complements I can receive in this world full of influencers. Thank you 🙏
I still get that excitement of buying and sitting I still get that excitement of buying and sitting down to eat #Pakore with chai. Every time I go to #Bahadurgarh I stop at Billu's and get a KG of mixed Pakore and we eat it at Chacha's house 😋 Do you do the same?  These two girls were doing just that at the Pakore Market next to Ilyasi Masjid in #Abbottabad. It reminded me of Haryana ❤️  @iammanishamalik @aast_ha22 @zinnia.malik  #pakistan #picturepakistan #travelbeautifulpakistan #beautifulpakistan #pakistantravel #travelgram #travellersofpakistan #pictureofpakistan #pakistanpics #wonderfulpakistan #rockarmy #nahichahiyeji #karlrock #travel #multan #pakistanifood #streetfood #foodstagram
