I started this spring season with a hurried trip to Zanskar. First driving across the snow covered Singge La Pass to reach Zanskar and then hiking 25km to the Shade village to document the tilling of the fields at the village. On the way I slept in caves and saw a lot of wild animals in the mountains and valleys surrounding the Shade Village.

Living at such high altitude is not so easy as it looks. Yes, the pristine natural beauty that Ladakh offers is unparalleled, but alongside it comes multiple challenges, especially when you are alone in the open. But, how well you adapt and adjust yourself to the tough terrains. Being one of your first fans since you opened this channel and have been actively following you since many years. You are an inspiration & an epitome of solo adventure bro! Lots of love and good wishes always! 😊🙏🏻

Driven and trekked to all these places during autumn, summer and once in winter. Singge La, Lingshed and Photoskar in 2009 when it was an unknown hamlet. A lone wolf tracked me for an entire day. Slept inside a mountain cave, after I lost my way. And yet to see them through your lens is like an adventure never seen before.

Wonderful video sir ! I loved the part where you are on foot and show us the view as a trekker. It will be lovely to see longer videos where we can feel at calm and relax in our city lives. I wish to tell something for your safety (you may already know it): the car brakes may stop working on large descents, you can use brakes by gearing down the vehicle to first gear when possible. I had my brakes stop working near Nako at Spiti. :D

@indiainmotion Жыл бұрын

That must have been a scary experience!! I did use engine braking to slow down the car. But it still rolled down the hill at a speed I was not. comfortable with, hence I had to constantly feather the brakes to keep the car under control.
