Yeah there are thousands of such YTbers now posting 1000's of videos like this and for each video there are hundreds of comments like yours claiming that such video is the next best thing on the universe. Wake up to reality. Every 3rd house is a YTber wanting 15 mins of fame.

While we all see this from the comfort of our homes and enjoy his class-apart art of storytelling; I don't know how much effort, resources, motivation and willpower it takes to create this awesome work. I believe most of us do not have any idea how difficult it is to create. It almost feels like a fool to place a camera at one place, and then walk past it, and then come back to collect it and reassure if things have been recorded well! Not to forget that the final editing takes a huge effort. And, in the end, we get a masterpiece - just like this. Thank you, Sri, for bringing us such a wonderful work. Everybody here loves it. Hands down and hats off to you! With love from Himalayan foothills.

Aspiring bloggers should learn something from you and your blogs as every 3rd person in people are traveling bloggers now a days. Happy to see something actual and real. Saw your videos for the first time on KZfaq today and I must say you'll flourish with the love of audience and God's grace. Only one thing as I can see you're travelling alone you should tc of yourself too. The steep edges of passes and beware of wild animals. Keep going
