Lost city of Shangri La?
Boys chase our vehicle through their village near Karimabad to catch a ride on the bumper. We had tea and dinner with their wonderful family, and it was a highlight of our journey.

| Notes: Another great day in beautiful Karimabad, God’s country. Everything is perfect here: weather, views, people, health. It is believed that this is the lost city of Shangri La, where the people are known to live well into their 100’s. Why? Well, they think it’s the apricots. You get an extra day of life for every apricot you eat. We’ve been eating them by the handful (dried). (N.O.) | ||
Help support our cause: The LONGITUDE Expedition is the longest journey ever attempted with a focus on Parkinson's Disease. The Drive Around the World team aims to raise money for Parkinson’s Disease research by driving four Certified, Pre-Owned Land Rover Discoverys around the globe following lines of longitude. Readers are encouraged to pledge small amounts of money per expedition-kilometer via a pledge form that can be found on our Parkinson’s page by clicking HERE. One hundred percent of donations received go directly to Parkinson's research, and all who donate $10 or more will be entered into a raffle to win an expedition-equipped Land Rover Discovery.
