Spending a Night in my Car at Zanskar's Coldest Village

- I drove to Aksho, the last (or maybe first) village of Zanskar, to experience snowfall. I camped in my car to experience the cold at the place and then planned to go to the village the next day. But then things took a different turn..

Something unique is there in your videos...... Something very raw and highly practical. No faking. No show off. No over reacting. No drama. Simply live experience sharing.
Hats off to your art.
Mashallah.
Love from Kargil.
Please keep on doing what you're doing. In this age of superfluous content creation, yours is a breath of fresh air. Cheers.
Thank you so much for the support :)
i think wildlens by abrar is also a breath of fresh air, obviously that's cinematically edited so slightly more well packaged. both creators are good in their own respects meaning both seem to be doing the best they can.
I subscribed you @introversion becz you contributed..! Thanks.. need more like you..!

A perfect gift for your viewer fans on a special festival day. No other TH-cam alert gives as much joy as the one announcing your new video.
Im glad to hear that Mr.Nagaraj.. Iniya Tamil Puthandu Vazthukal!
Agreed
This is my choice of TH-camr. Is it your also??? Let us see how many of us like this are here. So blessed to watch these videos. Even it is a normal talk. Your vidoes takes me somewhere else. Thanks man and wish u lot of good luck and health.
Amazing. My definition of so cold is 10 degrees celsius. Please note that there is no minus sign in front of that.
Amazing. The kind of locations you go to and the weather you deal with.
Haha.. We are all wired differently I think. I kind of enjoy the cold, but it is always a bit of a struggle in the evenings when the sun goes down and I have to cook in the cold. Whether it is a car or a tent the experience is quite the same in the evenings. Nights are mostly comfy though once I get inside the sleeping bag.
I can feel the cold and uneasiness that you are experiencing in surviving and shooting on top of it. I went to Spiti this winter and experienced the -20C temperature, it was bone-chilling. Your video reminded me of that again. I have been following your work for a long time and inspired by it. Please keep up the good work!!
Thanks Tunesh
This guy has a lot of patience man... god bless u sir.
Years long time back my cousin had visited interior ladakh few places and i told my dad that even I want to go like him but unfortunately, lot miserable things happened and my life went upside down 😔 & my dream didn't fulfilled but believe me I'm trying to enjoy virtually, Anna, from your videos . Thank you for showing such lovely places. 🙏👌👌👍
What beauftiful landscape of India❤. Love from mountains of hunza Valley pakistan 🇵🇰
Visiting zanskar just changed my dynamics towards leh. Hanley & chumthang were so close to my heart and visiting zanskar this Jan i got connect to it. Was lucky to travel via sirsila and then came back via kargil. Meeting you was just a pleasant surprise. I interacted with the locals and stayed few days. Everyone in zanskar knew you and they told ur a legend. They always praised your content. I really felt proud and happy hearing those. Thanks for reminding me those days and this video just recalled my days in zanksar.
Glad to hear that Srini. I hope you keep going back to Zanskar and experience it in different seasons. Thanks a lot for becoming a member on my channel. Really appreciate it.
Dear Sir
Namaste!
I already told you that I recommend your videos to my students... They love your videos since they are highly informative...This is also one of the best videos! A lot of love from a teacher and my students from Tirupati Andhra Pradesh
Thanks for sharing
I feel you are the only one youtuber who is so dedicated for posting some valuable videos for the viewers
Whenever i see your videos I feel like i am visiting those places alongwith you
Man ! These are serene and soulful. Thank you sir.🎉😊
You are welcome Savita
Thank you so much for your videos! I’ve watched a bunch of them and am happy that there are so many more. They are so relaxing and help fulfill my need to travel when I cannot. The footage is so beautiful and the narration is very calm and informative. One of the best channels I’ve ever found. Again thank you so much!!
You are welcome Jason
you are an inspiration , loving your journey . more power to you and your family . respect much love
Thank you for the videos.. Keep some more safety gear if not already. Space/mylar blanket, hand warmers, thermos with hot water to last long, solar kettle/chargers, heat fresh/clean snow rather than frozen stored water, compass and map, spare petrol, ready to eat non perishable foods, non flame induction stove, small fire extinguisher, etc. The stopped vehicle is pretty much your life saver! Those temperatures are very dangerous. Planning all aspects prior can mean avoiding a serious accident. Gby sir.
So have been traveling the mountains myself & recently met some fellow traveler’s & we spoke about people making videos & hands down three of us said the real Travel Vlogger of the mountains is just one person way above everyone else & that is You my Man Insane What you do 🙌
Another amazing video...Thanks for uploading. Wishing you a very Happy Vishu
An another piece of a beautiful but certainly a challenging video. Magnificent. Wish you always good luck to your mission and hope to find a better recognition to your this beautiful piece of work from some greater sources. 🌻 Take care of your health and stay healthy.
Thank you Nima
"my home is where my thoughts are at peace and not where my body is in comfort". May you be safe and healthy whereever you are - the winds will cuddle you in warmth and the mountains will show you the path to follow. Your friend from Alaska. Netoo.

Salute to you from the bottom of our hearts...it's tough life and make me remember 3 years I spent on Batalik heights. You will have millions of subscribers. Good luck
Thank you for the wishes. Traveling to Batalik used to require a lot of permits earlier, not sure if it has changed now.
So what I learnt was, car and -30 degrees. Pretty tough. Like a survival situation. Thank you Sir for sharing this experience.
I can feel you 🥶😅. sunny days are coming. Lots of love from ladakh ❤

Great video man 👌
Hii....after long time...good to c u again
Start watching your vlogs. found amazing. keep it up. Regards from KSA (Saudi Arabia - Al Ula city).
I Appreciate your reply. I would to invite you to Al Ula city and be my guest. It is a tourist destination so you can do a good coverage for this area.
Enigmatic Energetic person. Kantha the malik? Was missing you every moment. The perfect person with extremely harsh travel blog with no milawat. Respect your endurance. 🎉🎉🎉
Wants to mean. Where were you?
The foam in the seats of your car and fire are best friends.
Big Fan sir, Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh
I am waiting for the next video every time. 😍
I have lot of respect for him.
Keep doing this work
Thanks for the video brother
No problem 👍
Simple n superb vlogger
Real adventures and outstanding vlog 👏👏👏👏
Glad you enjoyed it Rajeev
Nice work
Life in the wilderness is your best gift.
Pls consider using some sort of fireproof barrier on the walls of your car as well if you continue to cook inside the car. You can see in the video itself that the sides of the flame lick the seatbelt area as well as the inner walls. Some of them are made of material that will easily melt and deform even with just a little bit of heat.
A simple barrier made of something like aluminium foil backed by cardboard would both stop that, and assist you with heat reflection as well. Please take care of yourelf!
Please take care of you man. Life is very precious. Make sure you have all the gears with you and have adequate knowledge about how to survive when travelling in extreme weather.
A living legend
Hi Sir,
I used to follow your videos for some time now, so far your video was very entertaining and I couldn't miss a frame. My attention towards watching videos was 100%.
But I am sorry to say that I couldn't complete watching this video. I don't know whether the voice over or the visuals made me disappointed.
I felt like this kind of experience video should not be more than 5 minutes and should be in 2x speed.
I am nobody to rate your creativity as I am cent % sure that in my lifetime I cannot make even 1% quality of your previous videos.
Expecting an engaging visuals threat video from you next time.
Thanks for entertaining us so far.
Regards
Big fan
Ur the best youtuber...
One of my favourite… I am own my way… I’ll be there tomorrow….
Bro u r amazing. Perfect videography skill. Iam a big fan of u. Love from kerala. 🥰
I will also come to Zhanskar one day..
Thank you so much 😀
Survival in the extreme climate....🔥👍
Amazing vlog ❤
Again love from chennai ❤
Beautiful
Real camping sir ❤❤❤
hats off to your efforts sir 🙌🏻 in 2021 I went to kedarkantha and it was around -15 there and wasn't able to shoot ! I know how difficult it must be for you to shoot and cook in -30😰! Love the rawness and style of your videos sir 🙌🏻
To be honest.. -30C was just the forecast. I have no idea what the temperature would have been. Also the inside of the car is actually pretty warm once I close the doors (and leave a 1cm gap in one of the windows for ventilation). So the night inside the car would have been about -10C. I was using my autumn -18C sleeping bag in the car during this winter. I had another -30C sleeping bag with me, but I used it only when camping outdoors. It was not necessary at all in the car.
Sometimes getting inside the sleeping bag properly is more tougher than the actual sleep
Na.. getting inside is fine. It is not much trouble. But I hate getting out of the sleeping bag at night to go pee.. or in this case (at the end the video) to take some photos of the night sky. You need a lot of will power to get out when you are nice and toasty inside.
I'm big fan of you ❤
It's worrisome that it's becoming warmer, day by day.
Please make more documentaries on unique unexplored places
Big fan sir ❤
Your sleeping bag is awesome, My next purchase for spiti camping will be this one
That's a 15 year old sleeping bag. I use it mostly for the summers and when sleeping indoors during winter. I have a different sleeping bag (NorthFace Inferno -30C) for Winter Camping.
So beautiful you are so lucky take care thanks you
Thank you too
❤️ only notification that matters
I think its not called controlled fire bro.. 😂😂😂 Lit bit risky i feel. Btwn awesome vlog. 👍👍👍 Keep it up. Waiting for next
Haha.. the controlled part comes later once the stove got hot. The initial burst of yellow flame comes when I'am priming the stove and it lasts about a minute or two and then the blue flame takes over. You would have noticed the blue flame when I put the water on the stove.
Hello 👋
Do you ever wish to explore the world beyond the Himalayas, other beautiful destinations around the world like beaches, waterfall or rainforests? Or do you plan on settling in the Himalayas for the rest of your life?
I'd love to settle down in the Himalayas if I get a chance. No need to go searching for beauty when it is all around you.
The outro was☝️🙏
❤ real traveler
Sir, it could be possible that you may consider it as exaggeration but I wait for your video more than anything else on all social media platforms. Your content is very unique, amazing, informative and genuine.
Changed your beautiful red Soulo for a car . Il hope i will place my Red Soulo also in Zanskar for Snow Leopard searching like one near Kanchenjunga ….. also only scat found … even no sounds .
You can keep peanuts, Chenna dal, and other dry fruits, it will be useful for you for nutrition
By staying with you, your car has also become tough like you bro. Strong & resilient against the harsh climate. 😄😄
Haha.. the Ecosport did well on this trip. Gave me no troubles at all. But I plan to get the Jimny this summer and that will enable me to explore even tougher locations with more confidence.
@@indiainmotion woww...Maruti Jimny is going to be a might strong off-roader, with ample space for solo explorers. 😍
@@explorer.samrat Yeah and the most important thing. It is a petrol 4x4, so no problems during winter and hopefully it will be more fuel efficient than the petrol Thar. Im expecting almost 50 to 100% better mileage.
1:56 my hometown ❤
Just a safety warning. You do know your fuel tank/fuel pump is under there. I know guys with old diesel lorries would burn a fire under the fuel tank to the diesel would melt. But remember diesel is slow burning. Petrol if the heat picks up it will spark without a flame. It is high combustion.
Explore ❤
I don't know, I use my butane stove in the SUV but the flame is smaller, maybe a metal wind screen would be good? I just found this channel and it's so good! I love it!
The big flames you saw last only for a couple of minutes while priming the stove. After that the flames will be similar to your Butane stove.
great
Hi! Where can i find this USB heated blanket/mattress?
Sir pls tell me do you have audiobook?
You know it is really cold if even Saravana is struggling with the cold.
By the way I'm curious about that small cylinder that you use for cooking. How come it is so safe even with that flame so close to the cylinder?
As long as the cylinder does not leak fuel it is very safe. Obviously the cylinder cannot touch the flame, but a inch or 2 gap between the cylinder and the flame is totally fine. I have been using this stove for almost 15 years now.
your video 💛
Iam waiting for a dream Collab between DCV & INDIA IN MOTION
❤
Nice bro
I love to hear your magical natural voice. When you sleep in a closed car, don’t you feel any issue of oxygen shortage or Carbon Monoxide poisoning?
Nice video, while in delhi it's bloody hot, just imagine how hot south would be now.... OMG.
Chennai is actually much better in the summers. It is bloody hot during the day but we get sea breeze in the late afternoons/evenings which is very pleasant and cool.
@@indiainmotion but humidity multiplies the heat ×10 in day time . But ya some relief at night.. but the bloody mosquitoes in tropics unbearable.
Dear sir,
What a journey you have till now. I have been following you since the earliest days and used to watch beautiful inner ladakh through your lens and then the injury happened. But after that also each of your journies are the best. Sometimes, i feel as if i am there facing all those difficulties. Always praying for your good health and smooth journies 🙏
Thank you Ajay
❤️❤️❤️❤️
How do you make sure the fire in the car is contained?
I like your sound and simple English 💕🫂
👍👍👍
🎉🎉🎉
how can i join you for a trip ?
While you sleep ,how do you take care if an avalanche or blizzard occurs?
You might not get enough time to react!
How do you manage to start the car in the morning? Does the fuel freeze? And is there any problem with the battery at that temperature?
Petrol vehicle.. so no problems with cold starts. Battery also worked fine this winter.
