Medical Marijuana Strain Review Episode 13: Hindu Kush
Hi everyone! Welcome to medical marijuana strain review episode 13! In this video I am smoking the cannabis strain called "Hindu Kush" and reviewing this heavy indica strain of weed :) No violence or aggression is trying to be promoted and this video is STRICTLY for entertainment & educational purposes. I love all my fans and I even love my haters, hope everyone have an amazing day! :)
"Hindu Kush is a pure indica strain named after the mountain range stretching 500 miles between Pakistan and Afghanistan where it originated. The harsh climate of its homeland has conditioned this strain to express a thick, protective coat of crystal trichomes cherished by hash makers worldwide. With a subtle sweet and earthy sandalwood aroma, Hindu Kush induces a deep sense of calm that helps bring relief to those suffering pain, nausea, and stress disorders."

Once a vital piece of the hippy trail, well disposed, wonderful Afghanistan has unfortunately been crushed by years of war and disregard. Home to ample farmland and the rough Hindu Kush mountain range, explorers desired the acceptable mountain air and to see attractions like the monster Buddha statues of Bamiyan. Then again, the statues and numerous different landmarks were wrecked under the cataclysmic rule of the Taliban, a gathering of Islamic aggressors. - See more at: http://www.helpskhmers.com/afghanistan-travel-guide/#sthash.3QZhOt6c.dpuf

Small Group Tours with Wild Frontiers
To some the idea of a group tour is deeply troubling… far too impersonal, with limited ability to interact with anything local, they would not consider this the right kind of travel at all and at Wild Frontiers we’d agree.
Starting our business in the mountains of northern Pakistan, we knew a very different approach to group travel was needed if our clients were going to see and experience the kind of travel we wanted them to. Visiting isolated peoples like the Kalash – the last of the pagan tribes to inhabit the Hindu Kush – going on short walks on picturesque mountain trails, staying at small boutique hotels and local guesthouses, and usin

In the Beginning…
In 1996, after the relative success of my first travel book, Running with the Moon – a journey that saw me drive a motorbike right the way around the African Continent – I decided to follow in the footsteps of my two heroes form English literature, Peachy Carnehan and Daniel Dravot, from Rudyard Kipling’s short story, the Man Who Would be King. Growing a beard and donning local garb, I travelled, largely on foot, from Marwar Junction in India, through Pakistan, across the Khyber Pass and into

Angkor Wat (Khmer: អង្គរវត្ត or "Capital Temple") is a temple complex inCambodia and the largest religious monument in the world. It was first aHindu and later a Buddhist temple. It was built by the Khmer King Suryavarman II in the early 12th century in Yaśodharapura (Khmer:យសោធរបុរៈ, present-day Angkor), the capital of the Khmer Empire, as his state temple and eventual mausoleum. Breaking from the Shaiva tradition of previous kings, Angkor Wat was instead dedicated to Vishnu.

Travel video about nature park Bryce Canyon in the USA.
In the south of the US federal state of UTAH, there’s a destination that attracts nature lovers from all over the world: Bryce Canyon National Park, 145 square kilometres of pure nature. Millions of years ago, due to extreme subterranean pressure, the Earth’s surface cracked and a landscape was created that is without equal, a gigantic amphitheatre of red stone scattered with a thousand rock needles that tower toward the sky. Typical of Bryce, the canyon’s fantastic and bizarre „hoodoos“ were created by natural erosion and rise ever upward like towering cathedrals and great skyscrapers,

LEAD IN :
Pakistan's smallest minority, the Kalash, have been celebrating their Spring festival.
Once half a million-strong, these people are thought to have descended from Alexander the Great have dwindled to a population of just 3000.
But, a strong sense of their unique identity may be this fragile culture's last defence against centuries of conversions to Islam, and the newer external influences of mass communications and tourism.
STORYLINE :
The Kalash celebrate Joshi, the Spring festival, with rituals of purification and worship which they hope will protect them in the coming year.
Although a cash economy is new to the Kalash, their three lush valleys have always provided rich resources of water, grazing and fruit and nut trees.
As polytheistic animists, the Kalash people believe in many gods and goddesses, fairies and spirits found in all living things.
Dancing is an intrinsic part of the festivities, celebrating the end of the harsh mountain winters.
Their valleys are isolated for three months of the year by snows and the dangerous roads.
The three valleys have no doctor, no access to the nearest city for a quarter of the year.
Dancing also attracts the fairies the Kalash believe will accompany the herders and their goats as they leave for higher pastures.
The Kalash move from one village to the next, gathering a growing crowd of dancers as they go.
Many travel between the three valleys, meeting relatives and friends in this closely woven society.
Everyone waves walnut leaves which have a special significance here, symbolising the bounty of nature and bringing good fortune to the area.
Islam the predominant religion of Pakistan has also been making inroads into the valley over the years.

Small Group Tours with Wild Frontiers
To some the idea of a group tour is deeply troubling… far too impersonal, with limited ability to interact with anything local, they would not consider this the right kind of travel at all and at Wild Frontiers we’d agree.
Starting our business in the mountains of northern Pakistan, we knew a very different approach to group travel was needed if our clients were going to see and experience the kind of travel we wanted them to. Visiting isolated peoples like the Kalash – the last of the pagan tribes to inhabit the Hindu Kush – going on short walks on picturesque mountain trails, staying at small boutique hotels and local guesthouses, and using interesting transport, we knew first and foremost the group size had to be small…
We also knew we wanted to give our clients the very best experience the region could offer in the time frame they had available. Without wanting the price to dictate the type of trips we ran, we set about designing itineraries that combined introducing our clients to the most interesting people with the best activities, the most interesting and characterful accommodation, and the most practical, comfortable – and in some cases – unusual transport. We recruited exceptional tour leaders to pull the trips together and make sure they run smoothly and employed local guides to give that extra level of understanding of the country in which our clients were travelling. And we decided we’d only run each tour a limited number of times a year so as to keep the journey fresh for each group and the travel experience authentic.
We think of them this way… Our small group tours are really a collection of bespoke itineraries that depart on a fixed date that individuals can book onto and as such they appeal to likeminded travellers interested in learning more about the world.
Here in Pakistan on a recent tour I asked some of our clients what they thought about travelling as part of a in a group.
INTERVIEWS – Use Tracey as the main voice – she is much more eloquent than the rest – but cut in others if you want. Simon in the England cricket cap and Jo – the pretty but wholly monosyllabic one – would be good to get snippet from.
The great advantages of travelling on a small group tour are that we do all the work in organising the best things to do and most interesting people to meet. There will be a group of fellow, like-minded travellers with which you can share and enjoy the experience. We can get you to places you’d struggle to reach on your own. And you can relax safe in the knowledge that everything is being taken care of, both on the ground and behind the scenes, by those that know how.
So although the idea of group trips might not be instantly appealing, when it comes to Wild Frontiers way of doing things here are a few keys points to remember: (Please type out on the screen)
• On all but a handful of tours, the maximum group size is 12
• Most tours are conducted on a full board basis (including drinking water and some soft drinks) – thus negating the need to split each meal bill
• On all our tours we try to use the most fitting accommodation and transport
• We always have a tour leader and local guide
• And to make sure you are well looked after before, during and after the trip we have a dedicated team in London and Delhi on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Wild Frontiers - Our Story
In this short film, Jonny explains about setting up and running, Wild Frontiers, the multi-award winning adventure travel company...
In the Beginning…
In 1996, after the relative success of my first travel book, Running with the Moon – a journey that saw me drive a motorbike right the way around the African Continent – I decided to follow in the footsteps of my two heroes form English literature, Peachy Carnehan and Daniel Dravot, from Rudyard Kipling’s short story, the Man Who Would be King. Growing a beard and donning local garb, I travelled, largely on foot, from Marwar Junction in India, through Pakistan, across the Khyber Pass and into war-torn Afghanistan. Here I trekked through the Hindu Kush and the Afghan province of Nuristan before finally emerging here into the valleys of the Kalash.
If you look up there, right onto the horizon, you can see the point, 4,650 meters above sea level, and a long way above the valley floor, at which I crossed the border leaving the fear of war behind me and from where I walked down into these peaceful valleys.
After 6 weeks wandering through Afghanistan bearded, bedraggled and a good deal thinner, I was looking for a man called Saifullah Jan who I had been told spoke good English. As one of the few truly educated men of the Kalash, I had been told Saifullah was the chief spokesperson for this minority pagan tribe and that he’d be able to help me find a place to stay and learn more about their culture.
Jonny: Do you remember that day Saifullah, when I first came into your house?
Saifullah: ‘Yes I remember very well – we all thought you were Taliban!’
Jonny: ‘Ha, yes well my beard was impressive! Your children were so young, Gulistan, 7, Yassir 14… now look at them!’
Saifullah: ‘Yes, blah, blah, blah…’
Jonny: ‘Do you also remember suggesting I set up a travel company, to bring travellers to your village and teach them about the culture of the Kalash?’
Saifullah: ‘Yes I do…’
So overwhelmed was I by the friendship and hospitality I received, and the genuinely fascinating and peaceful world into which I’d stumbled, that I put down my bags and stayed for three month. From here I headed back to India where I rented a hut on a Goan beach and wrote my second book, For A Pagan Song, about this journey and my time spent with the Kalash.
But Saifullah’s words were never far from my mind and so in 1997 I returned to the Kalash Valleys and with Saifullah’s help set up my first itinerary, our Hindu Kush Adventure. A year later I brought our first group and so Wild Frontiers, named after the Northwest Frontier, was born.
All change…
Of course the path since then has not always been easy. A couple of years after that first trip the cataclysmic events in New York changed the world forever.
I was actually here in the Kalash Valleys with a group when 9/11 happened, and as cut off as we were we didn’t hear about it for another 3 days, surely among the last people on the planet to know.
And 9/11 also changed the path of Wild Frontiers. Unable as I was to run trips to Pakistan, I was forced to re-examine my options and in 2002 we inaugurated the company properly and started to branch out into other destinations; starting with Kyrgyzstan, a land through which I had just travelled on horseback while researching a third book and making a Discovery Channel film.
Wild Frontiers Today
Whilst maintaining the same sympathetic approach to the people we visit and the regions through which we travel, today Wild Frontiers now takes travellers to more than 60 countries on six continents. Using passionate and knowledgeable guides, we are able to provide unique and original itineraries that allow our clients to take a journey beneath the surface of the region and into those special and secret places we all as travellers love to discover.
When I set up Wild Frontiers my mission was simple, to provide the platform that would allow others to experience the same amazing world I’d be privileged enough to explore as a travel writer.
To give our clients the kind of personal service we know they like, we operate from an office in West London, where we have a dedicated team – all with a wealth of knowledge about our destinations – on hand to answer their questions.
All this hard work has been acknowledged with a number of wards, including in 2012 the very prestigious Guardian/Observer Best Ethical Travel Company Award.

Cambodia Travel Tours 2015 | Angkor Wat Temple History Documentary
Angkor Wat (Khmer: អង្គរវត្ត or "Capital Temple") is a temple complex inCambodia and the largest religious monument in the world. It was first aHindu and later a Buddhist temple. It was built by the Khmer King Suryavarman II in the early 12th century in Yaśodharapura (Khmer:យសោធរបុរៈ, present-day Angkor), the capital of the Khmer Empire, as his state temple and eventual mausoleum. Breaking from the Shaiva tradition of previous kings, Angkor Wat was instead dedicated to Vishnu. As the best-preserved temple at the site, it is the only one to have remained a significant religious center since its foundation. The temple is at the top of the high classical style of Khmer architecture. It has become a symbol ofCambodia,[1] appearing on its national flag, and it is the country's prime attraction for visitors.
Angkor Wat combines two basic plans of Khmer temple architecture: thetemple-mountain and the later galleried temple, based on early Dravidian architecture, with key features such as the Jagati. It is designed to representMount Meru, home of the devas in Hindu mythology: within a moat and an outer wall 3.6 kilometres (2.2 mi) long are three rectangular galleries, each raised above the next. At the centre of the temple stands a quincunx of towers. Unlike most Angkorian temples, Angkor Wat is oriented to the west; scholars are divided as to the significance of this. The temple is admired for the grandeur and harmony of the architecture, its extensive bas-reliefs, and for the numerous devatas adorning its walls.
The modern name, Angkor Wat, means "Temple City" or "City of Temples" in Khmer; Angkor, meaning "city" or "capital city", is a vernacular form of the word nokor (នគរ), which comes from the Sanskrit word nagara (नगर).[2] Watis the Khmer word for "temple grounds" (Sanskrit: वाट vāṭa ""enclosure").[3]

Iran Part 1
Iran:
Iran ,also known as Persia officially the Islamic Republic of Iran, is a country in Western Asia. It is bordered to the northwest by Armenia and Azerbaijan; with Kazakhstan and Russia across the Caspian Sea; to the northeast by Turkmenistan; to the east by Afghanistan and Pakistan; to the south by the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman; and to the west by Turkey and Iraq. Comprising a land area of 1,648,195 km2 (636,372 sq mi), it is the second-largest nation in the Middle East and the 18th-largest in the world. With 78.4 million inhabitants, Iran is the world's 17th most populous nation. It is the only country that has both a Caspian Sea and an Indian Ocean coastline. Iran has long been of geostrategic importance because of its central location in Eurasia and Western Asia, and its proximity to the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran is the 18th largest country in the world, with an area of 1,648,195 km2 (636,372 sq mi).[35] Its area roughly equals that of the United Kingdom, France, Spain, and Germany combined, or somewhat more than the US state of Alaska. Iran lies between latitudes 24° and 40° N, and longitudes 44° and 64° E. Its borders are with Azerbaijan (611 km (380 mi)) (with Azerbaijan-Naxcivan exclave (179 km (111 mi) )and Armenia (35 km (22 mi)) to the north-west; the Caspian Sea to the north; Turkmenistan (992 km (616 mi)) to the north-east; Pakistan (909 km (565 mi)) and Afghanistan (936 km (582 mi)) to the east; Turkey (499 km (310 mi)) and Iraq (1,458 km (906 mi)) to the west; and finally the waters of the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman to the south.
Mount Damavand, Iran's highest point, is located in Amol County, Mazanderan.
Iran consists of the Iranian Plateau with the exception of the coasts of the Caspian Sea and Khuzestan Province. It is one of the world's most mountainous countries, its landscape dominated by rugged mountain ranges that separate various basins or plateaux from one another. The populous western part is the most mountainous, with ranges such as the Caucasus, Zagros and Alborz Mountains; the last contains Iran's highest point, Mount Damavand at 5,610 m (18,406 ft), which is also the highest mountain on the Eurasian landmass west of the Hindu Kush.
The northern part of Iran is covered by dense rain forests called Shomal or the Jungles of Iran. The eastern part consists mostly of desert basins such as the Dasht-e Kavir, Iran's largest desert, in the north-central portion of the country, and the Dasht-e Lut, in the east, as well as some salt lakes. This is because the mountain ranges are too high for rain clouds to reach these regions.
The only large plains are found along the coast of the Caspian Sea and at the northern end of the Persian Gulf, where Iran borders the mouth of the Arvand river. Smaller, discontinuous plains are found along the remaining coast of the Persian Gulf, the Strait of Hormuz and the Gulf of Oman.
Although tourism declined significantly during the war with Iraq, it has subsequently recovered. About 1,659,000 foreign tourists visited Iran in 2004 and 2.3 million in 2009 mostly from Asian countries, including the republics of Central Asia, while about 10% came from the European Union and North America.
The most popular tourist destinations are Isfahan, Mashhad and Shiraz. In the early 2000s the industry faced serious limitations in infrastructure, communications, industry standards and personnel training. The majority of the 300,000 tourist visas granted in 2003 were obtained by Asian Muslims, who presumably intended to visit important pilgrimage sites in Mashhad and Qom. Several organized tours from Germany, France and other European countries come to Iran annually to visit archaeological sites and monuments. In 2003 Iran ranked 68th in tourism revenues worldwide. According to UNESCO and the deputy head of research for Iran Travel and Tourism Organization (ITTO), Iran is rated among the "10 most touristic countries in the world". Domestic tourism in Iran is one of the largest in the world.Weak advertising, unstable regional conditions, a poor public image in some parts of the world, and absence of efficient planning schemes in the tourism sector have all hindered the growth of tourism.Wikipedia

swat a paradise on earth | tourist guide for swat
Swat Valley Tourism Information.Swat, the land of romance and beauty, is celebrated throughout the world as the holy land of Buddhist learning and piety.
The lush-green valley of Swat, with its rushing torrents, icy-cold lakes, fruit-laden orchards and flower-decked slopes is ideal for holidaymakers. It has a rich historical past, too. This is "Udayana" (The Garden) of the ancient epics; the land of enthralling beauty, where Alexander of Macedonia fought and won some of his major battles before crossing over to the delta of Indus River. This is the "valley of hanging chairs", as described by the famous Chinese pilgrim-chroniclers, Huaen Tsang and Fa-Hian in the fifth and sixth centuries. Swat was once the cradle of Buddhism of all of its schools – Mahayana, Hinayana and Tantrayana, where once 1,400 monasteries flourished. It was the home of the famous Gandhara School of Sculpture that was an expression of Greco-Roman form in the local Buddhist tradition. Swat was also the historical land where the Muslim conquerors, Mahmud of Ghazni, Babur of Ferghana and Akbar fought their battles preparatory to the conquest of South Asia. The valley of Swat sprawls over 10,360 sq. km at an average elevation of 875 metres. The maximum temperature in July is 38 C and minimum (during January) is 1 C. The normal temperature is maximum 21 C and minimum 7 C. The tourist season is year-round.

Bryce Canyon Travel Video Guide
Travel video about nature park Bryce Canyon in the USA.
In the south of the US federal state of UTAH, there’s a destination that attracts nature lovers from all over the world: Bryce Canyon National Park, 145 square kilometres of pure nature. Millions of years ago, due to extreme subterranean pressure, the Earth’s surface cracked and a landscape was created that is without equal, a gigantic amphitheatre of red stone scattered with a thousand rock needles that tower toward the sky. Typical of Bryce, the canyon’s fantastic and bizarre „hoodoos“ were created by natural erosion and rise ever upward like towering cathedrals and great skyscrapers, conveying a sense of eternity. The highest point of the park reaches a height of over 2000 metres and contains pines and juniper trees whereas, lower down, there are poplars and willows. In contrast to other canyons, Bryce is not a ravine. It is reminiscent of an amphitheatre that has been dug out of soft limestone. Its rock formations, which originally formed on the seabed, contain large quantities of minerals that produce a fascinating array of colour. Iron oxide is responsible for the strong red tones, copper produces the green hues and manganese adds deep violet. With its various lighting effects, the sun continuously casts a spell on the rocky terrain of this mystical place. This setting of stone and colour infatuates the observer and seduces his imagination and it’s easy to believe that one is in another galaxy. The landscape suggests another planet, an unknown world, Light Years away from Earth, and a Black Hole away from civilisation as we know it. The semi-fanciful rock formations are reminiscent of the irregularly-shaped buildings in fairy-tales, sagas and actual reality. Thus this architecture shaped by nature has been given names such as ‘Thor’s Hammer’ and ‘Gulliver’s Castle’ and it has also been likened to Hindu temples and even Wall Street. But the magical fact is…this landscape is a natural reality!
