Surviving –45°C in Afghanistan: Shepherds Cook Palaw at 4,000m

At 4,000 meters in Afghanistan's frozen mountains, a shepherd family cooks traditional Palaw at –45°C. This is survival at its most extreme. Deep in the Hindu Kush highlands, where winter temperatures drop to minus 45 degrees Celsius, an Afghan shepherd family lives completely isolated from the modern world. Their home is a simple tent surrounded by yaks and sheep. Their kitchen is the frozen ground. Their only warmth comes from fire. 🔥 More Extreme Cold Survival Stories from Afghanistan ❄️ 👉 🥶 Cooking Afghan Pilaf at –30°C | Extreme Shepherd Life 🔗    • Cooking Afghan Pilaf in -30°C EXTREME COLD...   👉 🌍 Life in the Coldest Places on Earth — How Families Survive 🔗    • Life in the Coldest Places on Earth — What...   👉 ❄️ Surviving Afghanistan’s Highest Mountains at –63°C 🔗    • Surviving Afghanistan’s Highest Mountains ...   👉Surviving –35°C❄️Snowstorm in Afghanistan's Coldest Village 🔗   • Surviving –35°C❄️Snowstorm in Afghanistan'...   👉Surviving Shepherd Life in One of the Coldest Regions of Afghanistan | Winter Extreme Survival 🔗   • Surviving Shepherd Life in One of the Cold...   🧊 Watch more real survival stories from the coldest regions on Earth.
