Loved to visit those places. I'm telling you, Skoda the brand is big game changer and never give up the quality and robustness. Now, the new Kodiaq has globally launched and I am awaiting for an experience.

Almost 5800 meters above sea level is very impressive. On a side note, the highest altitude that an off road vehicle has driven at, is actually 6700 meters... In the Andes (Chile). Ojos Del Salado on Atacama desert is the exact place...

Wow. Excellent vdo live vdo. It requires daring to drive at 19,000 klms+ height. Superb explanation of the both Skoda cars. Nikhil looks dashing n has a very good control over his driving. To end up his voice n explanation speech of the cars is commendable. Hats off you. 👌👌👍👍✌. The other guys too are good, but Nikhil is the best. I hold high regards for him. God bless you, your family n your team. 🙏🙏

Hi. It's possible but it's not an easy trip. Not everyone will be comfortable with the altitude and cold, and accomodation outside of Leh is comfortable but basic. Also, if traveling towards Hanle, you'll have to make arrangements for fuel.
