Finding ITCHOO - Winter Trek to a Remote Village in Ladakh
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 มิ.ย. 2024
- Itchoo is one of the most isolated villages in the Kargil district of Ladakh (India). It is reachable only by a 10km trek across steep mountain trails which are buried by snow and avalanches during the winter months. And the only way to access Itcho in winter is by walking on the frozen Phu Lungma stream, making it a Chadar trek experience like no other.
This is a behind the scenes look at my short film about Itcho - 'A Village in Search of a Road'. Please watch it if you haven't already.

I am leaving the phone numbers of some of the villagers here. Please contact them if you want to visit Itchoo. They will be able to help you and gain financially in the process.

It's a place for rock climbers, mountaineers and trekkers. A must visit place "kargil"
In menaka case of 1978 Supreme court declared following rights as part of article 21 :
1. Right to electricity
2. Right to health
3. Right to shelter
4. Right to livelihood
The guy isn't asking for something luxurious. He is asking for his fundamental rights. Govt. should intervene as much and as soon as possible.
I don't have much words to describe but would pray for your channel to get bigger and bigger. These videos give a different meaning to life and struggles. You are a hope to good content :). good luck sir
Thanks Dhiman

This is one of the most underrated, underviewed channel in TH-cam. This deserve more exposure and views than it has.

Wonderful job Brother as always! Your voice is music to me.
You are exceptionally gifted. My brother asked me to watch a series of ur videos. It was heartening to watch people who live such a hard life almost struggling everyday thanking you for making a video of their village in a hope someone (probably government) may reach out to them. You go where no one goes and that's the best part of ur videos. God bless u bro.
Classic Photography and Amazing Narration.
You truly a legend.. we salute to your efforts in reaching remote ..
Probably the best thing that I could lay my eyes on a Saturday evening in lock down, while itching to be in the mountains! Thank you for this!
It's soo sooo beautifully captured and documented.
Love and best wishes from Kargil. ❤️
Bro I love ur efforts to raise the voice of people of such terrains who doesn't have even basic adequate requirements for their survival like roads, hospital etc. All the viewers who are watching this video plz share this videos as much as possible
More power to your brother. ब्यूटिफ़ुल। जै जै भारत। 🙏🏻🙏🏻🇮🇳🇮🇳🙏🏻🙏🏻...
It takes a lot of courage to do many things single handedly and in a single life. you are living life man ... true to its meaning .... I guess you've sacrificed your time for this and this means a lot .... the exposure of the troubles of those people added to the meaning of your journey... so lucky man .... we want to do as such but no time ..... I live in a rat race and among concrete jungles here at Hongkong and watching your videos took me to another happy world
Thanks a lot
You are welcome. And thanks for the lovely comment.
Superb videos. Great work. From Canada 🇨🇦 🇨🇦

You are one special person. Keep up the good work.

Amazing...love from Bangalore
Truly gifted from mother earth.
This is called adventure
I notice that these videos bring a tear and connect me deeper to my own self. Over time we have lost touch with nature and instead prefer a LCD of 5.5 inches.
Buddy, I like your videos because of your simplicity, kindness and depth of exploration. Keep up the good work.
Again and again i tell you, its the most underrated channel that brings the rich culture and beauty india have. I really admire your work and salute to your dedication in bringing the best video we can see to understand what actual nomadic lifestyle is.. Thanks again
I am from Kargil Before watching this video I didn't even heard the name of village .thanks a lot to u
Addicted to your Snow Plateau Videos "Kyang" 🤗
As always great video!
Nice sirji
Sir, thanks for the video!
Experiencing the first minutes of the video, the gaping holes crevasses and chasms, I thought to myself this guy must be mad.
But when you conceded your lapses and knowing that you have survived, I watched till the end.
You must really love this earth and humanity, so you got the responses you needed not so much that you deserved them.
So you have projected the needs of these people.
Please, in the future, secure your safety with better planning.
Thanks again!
Man you’re on a different level! Enjoyed every bit of it....
Beautiful views.Excellent photography.People of Itcho village were speaking their heart out.Your efforts in highlighting the problems of people of Itcho village will not go in vain.
Why didn’t I subscribe you earlier. Third channel added to my fav. list, others being Ronnie&Barty and Ethereal.
You are a nice sweet human,, sir. World will be more peaceful if people like you exist
love from your old subscriber from Kerala. you are simply awesome.. keep moving forward.
Really enjoying your work! Thank you so much for put these out 🤍
Wish I could have a cup of coffee with you and share travel stories, someday.
I stumbled upon your channel yesterday and since then have been in love with every video that i have watched.
I visited Ladakh last year and fell in love with the people over there and always wondered while reading about it how it has changed with tourism.
Thank you for this beautiful channel!!
Just love to see your videos. Gives a kind of peace. I too long for treking alone somedays. Keep doing the good work. 👍
You are brave, amazing person! I got to see beautiful places, indigenous people through your journey 🙏🙏
