So when the Rohtang Tunnel opens up, it is going to change Lahaul forever... How do you think the government and the people can come together to promote the right kind of tourism in the region..?
The current beauty of the place will be lost for sure - but then regulating how many people get to visit at a certain time I feel that will preserve Lahaul a bit more longer. Damn I thought it was some CGI clip from Lord of the Rings you put there in the middle! 😍😍
I won't regret if I fail to visit Lahaul in my lifetime but I'll be, definitely, devasted to see this amazing place become just another urban Manali. Eco-tourism should be the only way.
Well, that is a mesmerising place, thank you for sharing with us Ronnie. I can agree to the fact that no camera can do the justice of those mighty mountains. But you did a fantastic job of capturing those. Never ever have I seen anyone capturing those mighty mountains as you did. So, to attract the right kind of tourism, first of all, to strictly ban plastic use as much as possible for the visitors. I too agree with Sushmita Das on regulating limited people to visit for a limited time.
People like you can inspire for the right kind of tourism. People like us can follow that kind of tourism.. And those who don't understand these things.. I pray they never come to destroy these places..
The only thing Indian TH-cam community was missing, was a true Filmmaker who could create magic. Time and again, Ronnie and Barty, you amaze me with such magical creations. I got to know about your channel via a colleague who recently joined The Vibe, and how you were leading the company back then. I wanted to start TH-cam since a year, and trust me there was lack of motivation thinking good quality content won’t work in India, and this beautiful online community that you build raised all my hopes and collectively all of you motivated me to go on and tell my own stories here. It’s been a few months and I’m happy with whatever I’ve created and I hope to collaborate with you soon.

Present In The Now Thank you guys... glad we could motivate you to go out there n create... everyone starts from zero... we started this journey almost 7-8 years ago... and we’ve had to go back to zero many times... today with a platform like TH-cam, creators have the freedom to showcase their work and to build a niche audience... and connect with them directly... and that’s awesome... it’s a slow game for sure... but it’s totally worth it...
Disagree with the remark on "Good quality content won't work in india" these remarks comes from failure that you must be facing while working on your thing. Lol funny how easy it is to blame other things
Akshat Sharma You completely misunderstood the comment. I simply said that I was not sure if good content would work in India, and that was the reason I did not start my channel. But Ronnie and his audience proved me wrong and gave me hope, which led me to start my own channel a month ago. Please read the comment again.
I am a Marwari from a place called Sujangarh in Rajasthan and even we have a tradition of making sattu for a festivity called Teej. It's so amazing to see how we Indians are so diverse by the looks of it but in reality we are just different dimensions of this one huge rock. Different sensibilities but familiar vibe. Every time.
@@mitanshubaranwal8878 these regions were ruled by ruler known as SHAILENDRA who had contacts with chola chalukya rulers of south india. India was well connected in 10 11th century to these countries till the south korea
I drove to Rohtang in 1991 and the road still looks the same ..almost. My German colleagues got so scared that one of them almost fainted. Drove back to Manali at night. The most terrifying drive of my life. The Germans still remember it. LOL Greetings from New Zealand....
@@mitanshubaranwal8878, the road was built by border roads organisation in 1968 after 1962 indo china and 1965 indo pak war. The tunnel was a result of the 1999 kargil war when this highway played a big role in indias victory as srinagar leh highway was almost paralysed by heavy shelling in kargil. Entire logistics kept reaching kargil and siachin smoothly through this highway. Furthermore 60 thousand crores chandigarh manali keylong leh railway construction is about to begin very shortly.
I am a fan of your 'Way Back Home' series on TheVibe. Today YT recommended this video in my feed. It took me first 10 sec, to recognized it's Rohan Thakur. Wow man you changed a lot in term of your looks but your works remains same as it was. Perfect
I'm from jahalma , lahaul. Not even half way into this video and I cried happy tears. I remembered all those times when someone asked me my family background and I used to say,"oh it is the ladakh of Himachal Pradesh" because people never knew what or where was. Today I'm so so proud of the lahaulis who come out of their houses into the cities to make their lives better and make lahaul's presence being felt!

Sir I'm from Lahaul and I'm currently living in pune for my higher studies . You are one of my favourite TH-camr .The way you showed our culture is very beautiful and thanks for that. Lahaul is such a beautiful place but people and government kinda ignore this place . After seeing your this video i hope many people will start visiting this place . I'm a huge fan of yours ,hope i can meet you in future ♥️. And again thank for this beautiful video . Hope to see more of Lahaul from you.
Now that a lot of people would be looking up Keylong and Lahaul. Please don't carry single use plastics with you. If you do, please bring them back with you and dispose of them properly.
How and why I stumble upon your videos on a busy work day morning..and then I take my time out to check it out..and it's peaceful.. beautiful...takes me to another world! It's becoming a pattern
Sanchari Paria it will remain that way cause of our constitution ... check schedule 5 which protects all tribal lands and their culture from outside influence ... Lahaul spiti falls under that ...🙂✌️
@@sanchariparia3938, now ladhakhis are asking the government to bring schedule 5 and 6 which protects tribal rights. It's already in force in many states and entire North Eastern states. Ladhakh was already protected by article 370. Now they're worried too.
@@sanchariparia3938 so they can go anywhere for jobs and we can't even buy a small piece of land to build a hut so we can chill in the summers and enjoy the beauty of the place which is protected under the constitution guarded by our soldiers paid by our taxes?
"nana nani ka ghar" is allwayes best place .. and second home also .... ... Lahul is amazing as well as Lahulies ... its a treasure for mountainer lover in HP.
I am like in tears right now.. Watching your videos are practically like practicing meditation..The beauty of Lahaul is inexplicable! Thanks so much for sharing! 🙂
Beautiful bro,, I love Himachal, my special bucket list are : lahual spiti valley and kinnuar.. I love Himalayas.. Actually, I m also pahadi.. I m from Ladakh,,, good to see your video
That's it. I'm not traveling abroad unless I travel through India. Your voice matches the sheer calm of this video. Also, the importance of the atal tunnel for the residents there just hit me. The hardships of mountain people are mostly neglected because of sparse population.
Your vlogs are refreshing to me, seriously after i finish my coding or get bored with it your videos of mountain refreshes my mind. Its peaceful to watch you both.
I just come to this channel and watch your videos whenever the lockdown or office feels too heavy...it transports me to this beautiful, magical world 😍 instant energizer!
Seeing this video in 2022. Just came back from a trip to Lahaul. Saw a beautiful village in the valley, from the highway. Realised that it's Ronnie's maternal village Tinnau. It has a small decent road leading upto it now. Clicked a pic in front of Ronnie's erstwhile favourite mountain. And man!! all the home stays were FULL!! So amazing how everything has changed in a matter of 2 years, especially after the opening of Atal Tunnel. I hope this region develops more and more, but not at the cost of its natural beauty and serenity.
Hi , i am currently in Lahaul, i would love to see that mountain but can't find Tinnau anywhere on maps or Google can you please share the coordinates ?
Lahaul's Majestic Tripple Falls @ 1:48. Really enjoyed all your videos including "Soul Trails" and "What happens in Gulmarg, stays in Gulmarg" And then, this @ 8:41. Thank You very much Ronnie & Barty.
Ronnie I must admit that I have binge watched all your vlogs including soul trails ...zanskar... you are doing some great filming and exploration work. I love that drone shot where you and barty walk on the corner edge of the cliff towards Phuktal Gompa, watched it like 20times. I have always craved for a life in the mountains, you are so blessed to be living there. I will one day meet you up there in the mountains. Much love and power to you!!!
hey Ronnie and obviously Barty , must say there is something in your vlogs which makes me smile everytime i go through them ...and i cannot ecen explain how much i am eager to meet you ...
Thank you Ron showing me places I've never been to and prob never will in this lifetime but after watching your show and your musicality peaked my interest. I was a professional drummer for over 50yrs been lucky seeing the world through my music. You can find some of the work I've done with a band called the October Cherries (60-70's) here on TH-cam. Hope we can be friends and stay in touch I live in Singapore
5.41 to 5.48 is what my childhood dreams were made of. Majestic lush mountains with a river swirling around in the valley. Oh my god!!! This was a beautiful and breathtaking treat to eyes and soul. More love, power, peace and cheers to you guys 😍❤️keep up the amazing work🙌🏻
What an amazing blog and personality! I am himachali too, living abroad. I have never been to Lahul Spiti besides rohtang pas when i was really young. I am a fan and I think the govt should highlight people like you to spread awareness of this beautiful region that would rival Kashmir or even Switzerland easily. But not at the cost of the nature of this pure land!
@@RonnieandBarty Absolutely man. Such quality filmaking from my native state; I can't possibly miss the chance of sharing it and showing off Himachal 😉
Hi Ronnie, I recently subscribed to your channel and binge watching your videos is the best time I spend in these in-home days. Your content and the way you present is just far better than any other vloggers out there. One small request, I really want to enjoy your content in 4K quality if possible, that would be cherry on cake for us 😛. Please consider this request 🙏
Hi Ronnie and barty! I have seen all your vlogs in a single day. They are beautifully made, very creative and there is a continuous flow like good book. So far I have seen you and your friends in nature surfing and adventure sports, but Dil maange more..need to see the daily life of the common people's of the mountains, their struggle and experience, their stories! Because we are fed up seeing the same typical everyday life of chasing the materialistic dreams. Let's go back to the basic, where time moves slow, ordinary people in a extraordinary environment. Expand your creative horizon in your way . Send some fresh air from the mountains. Ronnie , I think you are good man because it reflects in your eyes and voice. Also thumbs up to the creative genius behind the camera " barty". Please keep going. All the best..
I started watching your videos yesterday and from then on I have been recommending and sharing this channel to all my friends, and each one of them is amazed by your content. The quality that this videos are offering is beyond amazing. I really hope that this channel grows to be one of the biggest on TH-cam because you deserve so much more.
I feel the breeze even by watching it. Totally goosebumped. Thanks ronnie & Barty. I am from lahoul(tozing) but not even once visited it. Due to my dad's transferable jobs(army officer). Therefore less attached to my roots We visit home (manali) once a year meeting all relatives and wrapping it up. I heard it from mamma about your channel back to my future I guess !!. Haven't seen it yet but I get the gist of your work Also your grandmother's home gives us warmth 🏔
Ronnie man whenever I watch yr Himachal vlogs since the start, I get goosebumps and every hair on my body tells me to go and settle there in Hills forever. But I know for us city folks it's possible.
@@waiataaroha well....it might not matter to you...but most people found it interesting to study upon how some common threads of cultural heritage binds all indians together.
FOUND this channel too late but I think you guys are the biggest indian vloggers of all time. what a beautiful editing , dedication , timing is perfect 10/10
Subscribed to your channel in the middle of this video because it was so wonderful, the mountains, the glaciers, the vibe. Everything. I live in Durgapur, West Bengal and after watching this video I just want to leave my place and spend some time in Lahaul. I hope Lahaul has homestays. Because next year or in the near future, I will be visiting. Thank you, Ronnie & Barty, for showing this wonderful place.
Roompa Mahato Thankyou for subscribing... yes pretty much all villages have basic level accommodation available... some hotels too ...do help us reach a wider audience audience 🙂🙏🏼✌️
Namaste bhai,,I live a long way from my home now on a boat in London, it fills me with so much joy and pride to watch and see your journey, and makes me a bit less homesick,,danyerbad..
I've never seen such a vlog. The music, the surreal valley, the green farms, the mountains all are just perfect beyond words. I can feel the goosebumps right here from home.
Being from Himachal Pradesh I feel so annoyed with myself to have missed out on ure TH-cam channel .. u got a new subscriber man ... fantastically captured this side of Himachal ..much love and appreciation your way 🤗🌷
I am feeling so awesome.. n thinking why did not I found your videos before. I am going to watch all your videos. Liking every video n already subscribed.. god bless u guys. And thank you. Thank you. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Manh , took a while to find your channel on TH-cam, but you guys are just amazing . Storytelling at its best . Thank you for providing the viewers with such wonderful content .
Hey Folks, firstly, love your channel, content, music, everything! I did stop by at Sissu on my Manali-Leh Journey, decided to not cycle for one day and just consume whatever landscape that I can while on this journey! It was definitely one of the toughest goodbyes!
I moved to Uttarakhand back in September and in addition to the breathtaking views you have there, one HUGE benefit is being SO close to Himachal. Absolutely stunning valley panoramas, will have to visit Lahaul once before I die.
Great to see Barty on screen 👌😁 she should do it more often. Ronnie Lahaul is a magical valley, the summer tourism will surely grow but it has the potential of becoming the Top backcountry skiing Destination. Keep up the good work 🙏🙏🙏
Yeah agreed totally great to see barty not being camera shy.. lol.. but the fact is the duo is lovely ans having both of you talk together is soo much fun.. dear barty you are awesome and and guys dont stop making content .. we love you.. coming to manali and spiti for 10 days next week.. will try catching up with many places you have been.. tc
So true Pintu... there's so much potential for Lahaul to become a world class tourist destination... and now is the time for Lahaulis to come together and plan their future and steer it in the right direction... they need to think long term... otherwise it's gonna become a mess like Manali (bazaar side)
I don't know why but everytime am in your channel and watching your vlogs or videos it gives me so much peace. And my daughter is a fan of yours she introduce me to you. Keep it up. And God bless you two.
Ronnie bhai i like your personality & your work .I am proud to be Himachali that a Himachali boy like you makes the world's top class videos and puts it on TH-cam.
Amazing channel found. Recently, I have been to Sissu and stayed there. You rightly said camera cannot do justice to beauty of this place. One has to experience it. Lucky u to have home there. 👍
Sir, this is heaven.. Ur grand mother place is just just awesome.. Rightly said the village looked like countryside.. So greenery.. And that winter thing and thoughts so so correct.. ❤️❤️Ur blogs Sir..
I passed through Lahul and stayed one day at Keylong. I do wish to spend a few days in the Valley. But I do not know. I visited Manali in Sept. 80 for the first time. Yes, the place was like a small village.
I love your vlogs. I've seen your Way Back Home series and it is just pure awesome. I'm a Himachali too and seeing your videos I always feel like I'm going home. Keep coming up with such amazing stuff.
Swiss allows certain amount of tourist during each season so that you have to register yourself for the booking 1year ahead i suppose which in a way increases the value of the land and limits overexploitation... Which can done to lahaul too.. By the way i am from keylong and i love lahaul valley.😇
Better roads, Hygienic (Go to Rohtang from Manali and tell me how many clean toilets you get in the way- One, that too built just recently by Govt.), Lesser people, No traffic Jams... I can go on. I am Indian, but if you see a Swiss vlog you will see the difference yourself.
@@kcbamania2600, it's the over population which is killing all the beautiful hill stations. Imagine the chaos due to 8000 vehicles reaching rohtang pass within couple of hours each day during may and June.
Ronnie, thanks for the vlog. Lahaul is a very scenic place and the glacier breaking away was a perfect bonus . Glad you captured a rare phenomena not many get to witness 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Your voice is very unique in a way that it's so flamboyant which attracts anyone to watch your video. So never miss out on the narration on your video coz that's the hidden gem to it. Also been following your videos from the past 2 weeks and watching all of them coz of the amazing voice you have also the cinematography and its story behind it. It's very close to Ali Zafar. Keep up the good work bruh.
jullay guys, I have been to lahaul 4 times till now never gone to ladakh, lahual is an amazing place i cant explain how beautiful it is but when youare there you are in magical beautiful place.
Nice to see Bhrati after a sudden departure in "Way Back Home" .. The episodes without her were missing the soul of the most amazing Solo Travelogue from an Indian / on India I have seen till date...
Oh! So this is the place I have been drawing since my childhood. Lol They say “A picture says a thousand words”, but I believe it only does if a person like Rohan captures it. Hats off to you man.. keep shining!
You are going to increase tourist footfall in these places singlehandedly. I mean dude the scenes were freakin awe inspiring. WoW. Thanks for sharing. 🤘
So very Majestic and Absolutely Beautiful!!! I thank you for sharing your adventures in this manner. I have seen my own Country in all its Beauty...not all of course. But never anything that looked like this, or I may want to say, in a miniature way. Personally, as long as there is a good storage room that is cold and big...I think it would be a nice change to be that isolated. Could definitely get some good Soul searching and meditation in!
Lot of what u said strikes a chord, especially 'the journey being the destination' part ... Going into nooks of each location on the way ... Absorbing the place in such a manner that you are able to pull out the memories so vividly that you are able to revisit the place anytime you want despite being miles away.
Your videos makes me feel happy in a way that I can't even describe... they inspire me a lot...glad to have you as a youtuber... please try to make more videos
I came to your channel by chance.. must say it's an excellent presentation and the visuals are great. I've been to Himachal multiple times in virtually all places excepting Lahoul and Spiti.. not sure whether I'll be go there at all (touching 50) but even if I can't, your channel is there.. thanks for this.. keep up the good work
Thanks for this..took me back in time..! Last year was up there riding in the Rohtang pass..places like Koksar, Sissu, Keylong, Jispa.. absolutely stunning..never got to go further up cos the roads were closed due to snow cover..
Came across this channel a week back. Possibly the best channel on Himachal vlogging. I've watched the Lahaul episode almost 10 times. Great work Ronnie & Barty.
@@whysoblahsphemous we are lucky to have a creator like him as an Indian! And in my opinion no one is promoting Himachal Pradesh like him on this particular platform thats why used the term Himachali.
I totally love you guys amazing and breathtaking Vlogs! You guys bring life to your videos to make the viewers feel what you actually feel being there!!! LOVE YOU SO MUCH
This video makes me feel awesome. I never ever seen any vlogs like this before. I mean how beautifully you described all the moments in this. Yeah also the background music (folk music :-)) makes me mesmerizing, feels like more closer to mountains. However I'm also from a hilly and mountains state (Uttarakhand) but never got closer to these high Apex which I always miss from inside. But after watching this energetic vlog, my love to mountains is growing now and I believe one day I'll definitely live these moments with these beautiful ❤️ valleys and around the mountains. BTW, you're doing a great job and love to your village and your work. Waiting for next one...
II visited Lahaul in 2007 with friends....one of them Gabriele had a cheese factory in Manali and was looking for new cow milk suppliers there....we were 2 ladies 3 gents and 1 child and our presence sparked the curiosity of the local people and we even met the King of Lahaul.....the colours of the scenery was so beautiful they reminded me of Nicholas Roerich's paintings....and vivid still now their vegetable gardens with beehives for honey... 😍
The more you catch up the altitude, views become more attractive. And the way you shoot this beauty and explain, makes it more tempting. And I must say, I am craving for this soundtrack in the background. Hoping you will release audios of this also (waiting for soul trail OST)😍. And thank you very much for your work. Love it.
Hey Anil... thank you so much man .... well we are working towards releasing all our music... will keep you guys posted... thank you for being so patient...! 😊🙏🏻🌟
Ronnie & Barty, Mountains and Valleys have been around forever. But what makes them so much better than in real is your Cinematography and Voiceover. Big shoutout to the DOP.
Rohan, Love the way u create and narrate the vlogs and tie it to beautiful surroundings of himachal. There any only few vloggers in india who create classy content and you are definitely one of that. Really deserve the channel to grow more than million subscribers!!!
I am very lucky that i found this channel. I like your vlog man. You got a catchy voice and your presentation in the video is also outstanding. I haven't heard about Lahaul before, but after watching this vlog i am so excited to be there. Thank you brother for sharing this with us. You made my day.
Hey Ronnie and Barty, I am loving your vlogs, just stumbled upon your videos and I think I am going to watch all the videos. I have lived in himachal for 5 years at NIT, and I love himachal to the bones. Thanks for bringing the beautiful mountains to us. Love you guys. ❤️ Keep up the work.

Maharashtra is like 2nd home for me. I really like it here as well. Hope you will visit Himachal again 😊✌️.
I really hope people doesn’t bother too much about Lahaul so that it will keep the beauty of nature.
Now that a lot of people would be looking up Keylong and Lahaul. Please don't carry single use plastics with you. If you do, please bring them back with you and dispose of them properly.
Well said friend. Every one should bring back plastic bottles and packets back to waste recycling plant in manali or sell to scrap dealers.
Very good message not only here but everywhere on this land we should try to keep this dirty and dangerous plastic away from our lives
Yes. I and my family make sure of this. We never litter.
How and why I stumble upon your videos on a busy work day morning..and then I take my time out to check it out..and it's peaceful.. beautiful...takes me to another world! It's becoming a pattern
It is better that it is untouched, otherwise it will loose it's beauty.
Sanchari Paria it will remain that way cause of our constitution ... check schedule 5 which protects all tribal lands and their culture from outside influence ... Lahaul spiti falls under that ...🙂✌️
@@RonnieandBarty wow that's a great information.. It's great to hear that government sometime take good decision..
@@sanchariparia3938, now ladhakhis are asking the government to bring schedule 5 and 6 which protects tribal rights. It's already in force in many states and entire North Eastern states. Ladhakh was already protected by article 370. Now they're worried too.
@@phuntsokangrup3871 yes government should look after this because huge numbers of tourists visit ladakh every year..
@@sanchariparia3938 so they can go anywhere for jobs and we can't even buy a small piece of land to build a hut so we can chill in the summers and enjoy the beauty of the place which is protected under the constitution guarded by our soldiers paid by our taxes?
"nana nani ka ghar" is allwayes best place .. and second home also .... ...
Lahul is amazing as well as Lahulies ... its a treasure for mountainer lover in HP.
Bhai I am from Himachal Kangra good feeling like apna Himachal love my India for ever😍😍😍🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
I am like in tears right now.. Watching your videos are practically like practicing meditation..The beauty of Lahaul is inexplicable! Thanks so much for sharing! 🙂
Beautiful bro,, I love Himachal, my special bucket list are : lahual spiti valley and kinnuar.. I love Himalayas..
Actually, I m also pahadi..
I m from Ladakh,,, good to see your video
That's it. I'm not traveling abroad unless I travel through India.
Your voice matches the sheer calm of this video.
Also, the importance of the atal tunnel for the residents there just hit me. The hardships of mountain people are mostly neglected because of sparse population.
It's just a saying. 😂
Your vlogs are refreshing to me, seriously after i finish my coding or get bored with it your videos of mountain refreshes my mind. Its peaceful to watch you both.
I just come to this channel and watch your videos whenever the lockdown or office feels too heavy...it transports me to this beautiful, magical world 😍 instant energizer!
Seeing this video in 2022.
Just came back from a trip to Lahaul.
Saw a beautiful village in the valley, from the highway. Realised that it's Ronnie's maternal village Tinnau.
It has a small decent road leading upto it now.
Clicked a pic in front of Ronnie's erstwhile favourite mountain.
And man!! all the home stays were FULL!!
So amazing how everything has changed in a matter of 2 years, especially after the opening of Atal Tunnel.
I hope this region develops more and more, but not at the cost of its natural beauty and serenity.
Hi , i am currently in Lahaul, i would love to see that mountain but can't find Tinnau anywhere on maps or Google can you please share the coordinates ?
Lahaul's Majestic Tripple Falls @ 1:48. Really enjoyed all your videos including "Soul Trails" and "What happens in Gulmarg, stays in Gulmarg" And then, this @ 8:41.
Thank You very much Ronnie & Barty.
Ronnie I must admit that I have binge watched all your vlogs including soul trails ...zanskar... you are doing some great filming and exploration work.
I love that drone shot where you and barty walk on the corner edge of the cliff towards Phuktal Gompa, watched it like 20times.
I have always craved for a life in the mountains, you are so blessed to be living there.
I will one day meet you up there in the mountains.
Much love and power to you!!!
hey Ronnie and obviously Barty , must say there is something in your vlogs which makes me smile everytime i go through them ...and i cannot ecen explain how much i am eager to meet you ...
India that i have never seen before. Out of this world
Thank you so much Erfan... Help us spread the mountain love..! 😄🙏🏻🌟
Thank you Ron showing me places I've never been to and prob never will in this lifetime but after watching your show and your musicality peaked my interest. I was a professional drummer for over 50yrs been lucky seeing the world through my music. You can find some of the work I've done with a band called the October Cherries (60-70's) here on TH-cam. Hope we can be friends and stay in touch I live in Singapore
5.41 to 5.48 is what my childhood dreams were made of. Majestic lush mountains with a river swirling around in the valley. Oh my god!!! This was a beautiful and breathtaking treat to eyes and soul. More love, power, peace and cheers to you guys 😍❤️keep up the amazing work🙌🏻
What an amazing blog and personality! I am himachali too, living abroad. I have never been to Lahul Spiti besides rohtang pas when i was really young.
I am a fan and I think the govt should highlight people like you to spread awareness of this beautiful region that would rival Kashmir or even Switzerland easily.
But not at the cost of the nature of this pure land!
Thank you so much..! Help us spread the mountain love..! 😄🙏🏻🌟
@@RonnieandBarty Absolutely man. Such quality filmaking from my native state; I can't possibly miss the chance of sharing it and showing off Himachal 😉
Hi Ronnie, I recently subscribed to your channel and binge watching your videos is the best time I spend in these in-home days.
Your content and the way you present is just far better than any other vloggers out there.
One small request, I really want to enjoy your content in 4K quality if possible, that would be cherry on cake for us 😛. Please consider this request 🙏
Hi Ronnie and barty! I have seen all your vlogs in a single day. They are beautifully made, very creative and there is a continuous flow like good book. So far I have seen you and your friends in nature surfing and adventure sports, but Dil maange more..need to see the daily life of the common people's of the mountains, their struggle and experience, their stories! Because we are fed up seeing the same typical everyday life of chasing the materialistic dreams. Let's go back to the basic, where time moves slow, ordinary people in a extraordinary environment. Expand your creative horizon in your way . Send some fresh air from the mountains. Ronnie , I think you are good man because it reflects in your eyes and voice. Also thumbs up to the creative genius behind the camera " barty". Please keep going. All the best..
siddhartha ghosh Thankyou Siddhartha for those kind words ... will keep doing what we do .. do share !! 🙂🙏🏼✌️
I started watching your videos yesterday and from then on I have been recommending and sharing this channel to all my friends, and each one of them is amazed by your content. The quality that this videos are offering is beyond amazing. I really hope that this channel grows to be one of the biggest on TH-cam because you deserve so much more.
Arnab Saikia Thankyou Arnab for those kind words ... makes our day ..🙂 “aap ke mooh mein ghee shakkar “ 🙂🙏🏼✌️
I feel the breeze even by watching it. Totally goosebumped. Thanks ronnie & Barty. I am from lahoul(tozing) but not even once visited it. Due to my dad's transferable jobs(army officer). Therefore less attached to my roots
We visit home (manali) once a year meeting all relatives and wrapping it up. I heard it from mamma about your channel back to my future I guess !!. Haven't seen it yet but I get the gist of your work
Also your grandmother's home gives us warmth 🏔
@@phuntsokangrup3871 oh,I must have heard it wrong. Thanks sir
Ronnie man whenever I watch yr Himachal vlogs since the start, I get goosebumps and every hair on my body tells me to go and settle there in Hills forever. But I know for us city folks it's possible.
This channel is a hidden gem, y'all deserve all the support in the world.
This Barley ceremony is an old vedic tradition which was practiced thousand of years ago throughout North India. Preserved in Lauhaul spiti valley
who cares
Really???
@@waiataaroha well....it might not matter to you...but most people found it interesting to study upon how some common threads of cultural heritage binds all indians together.
@@waiataaroha We do!
FOUND this channel too late
but I think you guys are the biggest indian vloggers of all time.
what a beautiful editing , dedication , timing is perfect 10/10
Subscribed to your channel in the middle of this video because it was so wonderful, the mountains, the glaciers, the vibe. Everything. I live in Durgapur, West Bengal and after watching this video I just want to leave my place and spend some time in Lahaul. I hope Lahaul has homestays. Because next year or in the near future, I will be visiting. Thank you, Ronnie & Barty, for showing this wonderful place.
Roompa Mahato Thankyou for subscribing... yes pretty much all villages have basic level accommodation available... some hotels too ...do help us reach a wider audience audience 🙂🙏🏼✌️
@@RonnieandBarty Definitely. Already shared your video to my family and friends. 😊
Namaste bhai,,I live a long way from my home now on a boat in London, it fills me with so much joy and pride to watch and see your journey, and makes me a bit less homesick,,danyerbad..
I've never seen such a vlog. The music, the surreal valley, the green farms, the mountains all are just perfect beyond words. I can feel the goosebumps right here from home.
Being from Himachal Pradesh I feel so annoyed with myself to have missed out on ure TH-cam channel .. u got a new subscriber man ... fantastically captured this side of Himachal ..much love and appreciation your way 🤗🌷
I am feeling so awesome.. n thinking why did not I found your videos before. I am going to watch all your videos. Liking every video n already subscribed.. god bless u guys. And thank you. Thank you. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’m in love with his voice. Darn that’s soothing! ❤️❤️❤️
Manh , took a while to find your channel on TH-cam, but you guys are just amazing . Storytelling at its best .
Thank you for providing the viewers with such wonderful content .
This gives me immense pleasure as a himachali to see that someone has captured this place so beautifully.. thank you
Hey Folks, firstly, love your channel, content, music, everything!
I did stop by at Sissu on my Manali-Leh Journey, decided to not cycle for one day and just consume whatever landscape that I can while on this journey! It was definitely one of the toughest goodbyes!
I moved to Uttarakhand back in September and in addition to the breathtaking views you have there, one HUGE benefit is being SO close to Himachal. Absolutely stunning valley panoramas, will have to visit Lahaul once before I die.
Wow ... Himachal is truly God's abode. What a breathtakingly beautiful place ... I was in Lahaul in 2017, It's amazing.
Ricky Kha ur always welcome here 🙏🏼🙂✌️
Great to see Barty on screen 👌😁 she should do it more often.
Ronnie Lahaul is a magical valley, the summer tourism will surely grow but it has the potential of becoming the Top backcountry skiing Destination.
Keep up the good work 🙏🙏🙏
Yeah agreed totally great to see barty not being camera shy.. lol.. but the fact is the duo is lovely ans having both of you talk together is soo much fun.. dear barty you are awesome and and guys dont stop making content .. we love you.. coming to manali and spiti for 10 days next week.. will try catching up with many places you have been.. tc
hehehe... thanks guys... 😄🙏🏻🌟working on my on screen persona... hahahaa....
So true Pintu... there's so much potential for Lahaul to become a world class tourist destination... and now is the time for Lahaulis to come together and plan their future and steer it in the right direction... they need to think long term... otherwise it's gonna become a mess like Manali (bazaar side)
Bharati speaking :) wow!... Glacier breaking down, not a big deal in comparison....lol
yes yes yes :D
Hahaha
And finally the tunnel is about to be inaugurated. Our Beautiful Himachal.
I don't know why but everytime am in your channel and watching your vlogs or videos it gives me so much peace. And my daughter is a fan of yours she introduce me to you.
Keep it up. And God bless you two.
Thankyou!! For showing Our country the way it Deserves.
You make your vlogs so serene and slow. That is my best part!!
slow n steady.... 🐌
06:35 Tunnel's ready now! Glad it'll make life much easier.
It will also make the place another Shimla, Manali and Mussoorie ... Sad!
Ronnie bhai i like your personality & your work .I am proud to be Himachali that a Himachali boy like you makes the world's top class videos and puts it on TH-cam.
Amazing channel found. Recently, I have been to Sissu and stayed there. You rightly said camera cannot do justice to beauty of this place. One has to experience it. Lucky u to have home there. 👍
Sir, this is heaven.. Ur grand mother place is just just awesome.. Rightly said the village looked like countryside.. So greenery..
And that winter thing and thoughts so so correct.. ❤️❤️Ur blogs Sir..
i am from himachal and right now i am living in new york .....i show your vlogs to other people around here and they just love your vlogs and himachal
Ankush Sharma Thanks Ankush ..🙂🙏🏼
@@RonnieandBarty sir can you share this location.... Please... 🙏🙏🙏💗💗💗💗💐💐💐💐
Oh my God.... What an amazing video... Such a beautiful place ❤❤
Thanks Ronnie... You are awesome
Goosebumps . .
Love from Assam 🪴❤️
I passed through Lahul and stayed one day at Keylong. I do wish to spend a few days in the Valley. But I do not know. I visited Manali in Sept. 80 for the first time. Yes, the place was like a small village.
Being a himachali who has lived away for all my life ,this channel has been a gem in discovering my own motherland .Keep up the good work guys !
I love your vlogs. I've seen your Way Back Home series and it is just pure awesome. I'm a Himachali too and seeing your videos I always feel like I'm going home. Keep coming up with such amazing stuff.
Why people goto Switzerland, other mountainous country when your country India much to offer.
sendil c I guess they have better marketing and promotion strategies..... ohh and all the old Bollywood films have an equal part to play too .. 🙂
Swiss allows certain amount of tourist during each season so that you have to register yourself for the booking 1year ahead i suppose which in a way increases the value of the land and limits overexploitation... Which can done to lahaul too.. By the way i am from keylong and i love lahaul valley.😇
Better roads, Hygienic (Go to Rohtang from Manali and tell me how many clean toilets you get in the way- One, that too built just recently by Govt.), Lesser people, No traffic Jams... I can go on. I am Indian, but if you see a Swiss vlog you will see the difference yourself.
@@kcbamania2600, it's the over population which is killing all the beautiful hill stations. Imagine the chaos due to 8000 vehicles reaching rohtang pass within couple of hours each day during may and June.
@@phuntsokangrup3871 Agreed bro.
This gives me immense pleasure as a himachali to see that someone has captured this place so beautifully
Ronnie, thanks for the vlog. Lahaul is a very scenic place and the glacier breaking away was a perfect bonus . Glad you captured a rare phenomena not many get to witness 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Your voice is very unique in a way that it's so flamboyant which attracts anyone to watch your video. So never miss out on the narration on your video coz that's the hidden gem to it. Also been following your videos from the past 2 weeks and watching all of them coz of the amazing voice you have also the cinematography and its story behind it. It's very close to Ali Zafar. Keep up the good work bruh.
jullay guys, I have been to lahaul 4 times till now never gone to ladakh, lahual is an amazing place i cant explain how beautiful it is but when youare there you are in magical beautiful place.
Nice to see Bhrati after a sudden departure in "Way Back Home" .. The episodes without her were missing the soul of the most amazing Solo Travelogue from an Indian / on India I have seen till date...
you are a gem of himalayas men . much love always
Thanks for sharing video about wonderful place which we never know.
Oh! So this is the place I have been drawing since my childhood. Lol
They say “A picture says a thousand words”, but I believe it only does if a person like Rohan captures it. Hats off to you man.. keep shining!
Great innovation can come out from such places. give you so much space to paint your own world the way u dreamt .
My favourite hill stations - 1. Shillong( meghalaya), 2. Kufri (Himachal Pradesh), 3.Harshil (Uttrakhand).
@abraham tharakan dear I never been to s.India,,,but surely will visit there.....take care buddy
You are going to increase tourist footfall in these places singlehandedly. I mean dude the scenes were freakin awe inspiring. WoW.
Thanks for sharing. 🤘
So very Majestic and Absolutely Beautiful!!! I thank you for sharing your adventures in this manner. I have seen my own Country in all its Beauty...not all of course. But never anything that looked like this, or I may want to say, in a miniature way. Personally, as long as there is a good storage room that is cold and big...I think it would be a nice change to be that isolated. Could definitely get some good Soul searching and meditation in!
Lot of what u said strikes a chord, especially 'the journey being the destination' part ... Going into nooks of each location on the way ... Absorbing the place in such a manner that you are able to pull out the memories so vividly that you are able to revisit the place anytime you want despite being miles away.
Your videos makes me feel happy in a way that I can't even describe... they inspire me a lot...glad to have you as a youtuber... please try to make more videos
Vaishali Thakur thank you Vaishali ... we’re working on more don’t worry ... do share 🙏🏼🙂✌️
I came to your channel by chance.. must say it's an excellent presentation and the visuals are great. I've been to Himachal multiple times in virtually all places excepting Lahoul and Spiti.. not sure whether I'll be go there at all (touching 50) but even if I can't, your channel is there.. thanks for this.. keep up the good work
sougata mukherjee Thankyou so much Saugata ... we’re glad that u like our videos ... do share 🙏🏼🙂✌️
Atal tunnel to be inaugurated by end of September-2020. Hoping to visit soon after the pandemic ends !
The places shown in this vlog will be just an hours drive from manali town when you go through the tunnel.
No comparison of your all videos. Excellent
Thanks for this..took me back in time..! Last year was up there riding in the Rohtang pass..places like Koksar, Sissu, Keylong, Jispa.. absolutely stunning..never got to go further up cos the roads were closed due to snow cover..
That falling glacier is just near to sissu. The shot has been captured from village khangsar.
20 dislikers are builders from delhi who dont like empty spaces
These duffers r definitely aliens
@@nesha06thakur48 yeah like aliens they want to encroach others area
Haha thts good one😝✌️😆😎
Hhaahha ronnie please dont show this to the outside world then
hahhahaa!
The more I see your vlogs the more I fall in love with Himachal ❤️❤️😍😍
Thanks again for the lovely Lahaul view Ronnie & Barty
Beautiful countryside Lahaul..great vlog Ronnie. That stream shot before Sissu waterfall was just magical.. gotta go.. mountains are calling..!!
Came across this channel a week back. Possibly the best channel on Himachal vlogging. I've watched the Lahaul episode almost 10 times. Great work Ronnie & Barty.
I havnt seen such beautiful places yet..this place is dreamy, magical ...i love this place plus the music in the background.
If Canadian have Peter,
Then we Indian and Himachali have Ronnie😁.
Indian and himachli?
What is Indian and Himachali?
@@whysoblahsphemous we are lucky to have a creator like him as an Indian!
And in my opinion no one is promoting Himachal Pradesh like him on this particular platform thats why used the term Himachali.
@@vineetthakur6165 That I get. It's just the way you used the words that made it sound like you said Indians and Himachalis are different.
I totally love you guys amazing and breathtaking Vlogs! You guys bring life to your videos to make the viewers feel what you actually feel being there!!! LOVE YOU SO MUCH
This video makes me feel awesome. I never ever seen any vlogs like this before. I mean how beautifully you described all the moments in this. Yeah also the background music (folk music :-)) makes me mesmerizing, feels like more closer to mountains. However I'm also from a hilly and mountains state (Uttarakhand) but never got closer to these high Apex which I always miss from inside. But after watching this energetic vlog, my love to mountains is growing now and I believe one day I'll definitely live these moments with these beautiful ❤️ valleys and around the mountains. BTW, you're doing a great job and love to your village and your work. Waiting for next one...
Arjun Nainwal Thanks for those kind words Arjun ... do help us reach a wider audience and spread that mountain love 🙂🙏🏼✌️
This is amazing! A different world. Or out of the world. Thank you so much
II visited Lahaul in 2007 with friends....one of them Gabriele had a cheese factory in Manali and was looking for new cow milk suppliers there....we were 2 ladies 3 gents and 1 child and our presence sparked the curiosity of the local people and we even met the King of Lahaul.....the colours of the scenery was so beautiful they reminded me of Nicholas Roerich's paintings....and vivid still now their vegetable gardens with beehives for honey... 😍
Nice to see real Himachal is getting it's due attention . Keep it up bro .
Last year I visited lahul and Spiti .. and I have never seen such beauty in my entire life
It's one of the top ten tourist destinations in the world according to recent survey. U are lucky to have visited this place.
The more you catch up the altitude, views become more attractive. And the way you shoot this beauty and explain, makes it more tempting. And I must say, I am craving for this soundtrack in the background. Hoping you will release audios of this also (waiting for soul trail OST)😍. And thank you very much for your work. Love it.
Hey Anil... thank you so much man .... well we are working towards releasing all our music... will keep you guys posted... thank you for being so patient...! 😊🙏🏻🌟
Ronnie & Barty, Mountains and Valleys have been around forever. But what makes them so much better than in real is your Cinematography and Voiceover. Big shoutout to the DOP.
C P Thank you so much C P ... do help us reach a wider audience 🙂🙏🏼✌️
Loved it!! the only video I have seen on 1x in months. Lahaul I am coming.
Rohan, Love the way u create and narrate the vlogs and tie it to beautiful surroundings of himachal. There any only few vloggers in india who create classy content and you are definitely one of that. Really deserve the channel to grow more than million subscribers!!!
Hey, this is so beautifully videographed! And you've got great voice and i really like the calmness in your words! Commendable!
Thank you so much Shantanu... Help us spread the mountain love..! 😄🙏🏻🌟
Background music is as beautiful as Lahaul
you deserve a million subscribers ❤️
I am very lucky that i found this channel. I like your vlog man. You got a catchy voice and your presentation in the video is also outstanding. I haven't heard about Lahaul before, but after watching this vlog i am so excited to be there. Thank you brother for sharing this with us. You made my day.
Hey Ronnie and Barty, I am loving your vlogs, just stumbled upon your videos and I think I am going to watch all the videos. I have lived in himachal for 5 years at NIT, and I love himachal to the bones. Thanks for bringing the beautiful mountains to us. Love you guys. ❤️ Keep up the work.
