- Discover in 4K UHD the fate of a local hero, a determined monk that fight alone for the construction of a new road to ensure the survival of its people.
Zanskar is an ancient realm in the heart of the Himalayas. In this isolated enclave, the highest populated valley in the world, 12 000 Zanskaris live in total autarky. To put an end to this isolation, the Indian government has launched one of its most spectacular construction sites. Hanging on the cliff face, following the meanders of the Zanskar River, the road is progressing very slowly.
Yet Zanskar is getting ready to open its doors to the world and may undergo some major upheavals much earlier than planned!
Because one man alone, has also decided to built a road. This man is neither an engineer, nor a millionaire, and even less a visionary! His name is Tsultrim Chonjor, he’s 78 years old and he’s a Buddhist monk! Everyone admires Tsultrim’s perseverance, but will he manage to open the road to Kargyak, the very first village to the south of Zanskar?

Discover the story of a monk working alone to change the lives of its people !
He did a bad job.
@@earlysda☠
This monk and his assistants are mahatmas, gurus, n gods.
@@FinnellRacingthe backhoe is on the back, what's on the front?
@@earlysdago show us how it's done then, there's plenty of roads needed in the Himalayas.
Govt of India has recognized his dedication and perseverance of hard work, for which he has been awarded by conferred one of prestigious award Padma shree. The most interesting facts that he Ultimately connected us with Manali and raised momentum in speed up pace of progress work thereby given new road for zanskar. He is real hero of Zanskar. Border Road Organization is doing incredible work at NPD road, we soon connecting to leh along with zanskar river at confluence of indus river at Nimmu vis a vis distance between leh -zanskar and Manali will be decreased. Being a zanskari we indebted and gratitude to GOI for new connection of road for better transportation and safe road.
A trash governance will always do the same like recognizing the people who did the things that were supposedly done by the government.
WHAT A SHAME.
If I were in these officials shoes, I would literally step down and take my own life out of shame.
Always be grateful,kind,loyal to our own mother land . Jay Hind. @julimeryecla230 👎🏼
@@julimeryecla230if you are so ashamed here is the thing. Why don't you volunteer for a few months instead of working on your keyboards.
Why has the government provided people with safe roads?
I read this, saw video, the monk has transformed the village, brought prosperity and make life comfortable for all. Also his Indian helpers should be commended. Weldone all three of you.
JCB should honour this wonderful person and donate some machinery he requires.
Goddamn everyone wants free shit nowadays. No
@@gs8259 oh because JCB giving away an excavator would impact you? Stfu with things that don't concern you.
Surjit Sigh and Banti Kumar should also be awarded🎉🎉
Monk is matchless man.
Utmost respect to the monk. Selfless dedication, commitment, sacrifice second to none. He has lived his life for others benefit. True religious person by his deed.
“There is no job that is impossible and it’s nothing to do with religion. It depends on the way you think and what you have decided to be. You must love others and be passionate about helping them. You have to know how to do that and then have the courage and patience to do it. When you have that, you can do anything.” - Tsultrim Chonjur ...what an amazing quote from this Monk
It has everything to do with religion. Religion teaches people to do good deeds at the same time to avoid doing bad stuffs due to standard of morality and to some are obligations/commandments.
SURJIT SINGH AND BUNTY KUMAR ARE THE UNSUNG HEROS...THE MONK SIR WILL BE REMEMBERED FOR EVER..SO YOU FOR THIS DOCUMENTERY...THANKS ..GOD BLESS YOU ALL...GREAT TO SEE THE FIRST CYCLIST ON THIS ROAD..TOO
What an incredible documentary showcasing the resilience of the people of Zanskar, living in such harsh conditions with limited supplies. The determination of Tsultrim Chonjor, a Buddhist monk, to single-handedly build a road for the survival of his people is truly inspiring. It's amazing to witness his dedication to bringing transformation to their lives. This documentary will live on TH-cam for its future generations to watch and feel proud about their superhero as they drive on their brand new cars and Motor bikes. Respects ❤
This video was quite unsatisfying, as it was about the determination of a man to build a road, then didn't show the road after it got built.
.
But the ridiculous eco-posturing woman at 24:10 was very instructive in showing how many foreigners don't care at all about helping local people.
@@earlysdalooks like she's doin her bucket list..live and let live eh?
The documentary is old. Now the road is taken by govt. And also completed. So chill
@@olsim1730olsim, "Live and let live" is fine, but these eco-believers want to push their religion on everyone else, and make everyone pay for it!
This is danm fact and reality that the construction of road was gain momentum after initiating by our Hero maymay chosjore. Now off course it's connected to Manali -Zanskar - Leh but not yet connect with its original alignment. We optimistic that this road will connect on its original alignment.BRO is doing very incredible work and progress. Yes after fully open and connected zanskar would be a wonderful land for all tourism and other purpose for which this road is being constructed.@@osmpedia1063
A small payback of appreciation for the life that the monk was given. He didn't ask if anyone would help, he didn't ask what is in it for me. He thought, what can I do to make a difference for others
"History probably won't remember their names...But they are HEROES❤"
Yes , such dedicated selfless persons are he real heros of the humanity and not the kings, generals who conquered other nations…
I do hope the Bamford family view this documentary. One real act of charity for them would to be sending this guy a new job a a vast range of spares to enable this road to be maintained for years to come. The monk even sold his own land he inherited to buy a second hand jcb. True act of dedication.. 😊
The Bamfords have more than 3 JCB factories in India, he surely deserves a bigger dozer / backhoe with plenty of spares.
Hope someone can pass on this message to the Bamfords.
With JCB owning the British Government £100's of millions they could get tax relief on the machinery Sent to this dedicated cause..
I truly love this documentary❤❤may this monks, nuns and people in zanskar be blessed and grant their wish to build this road away from danger...🙏🙏🙏🙏
This man deserves recognition. What determination! One challenge they will face is to keep the road in a reasonable condition. Landslides, water damages. These are mountains and the dirt is moving. China has invested huge amounts of funds into roads on the other side of this mountains. Yet, it takes a huge effort and funds to keep the road open.
Our politicians should learn some selfless service from this great humble monk . 🙏
He got Padma Shri for the same...
Now I think the govt has taken over the road, expanded it and even converted it to a metalled one. Good for our brothers and sisters in zanskar.
If only the monk get to ask for help from the Chinese government then things would have been different. The Chinese have all the tools and materials t get the job done very quickly.
All salute to the great Mamay Chonjor and the film maker for bringing up his courage, perseverance and hardwork behind breaking this road for Zanskari's people.... We are very greatful of you all.... 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Typical someone who has nothing to do with the road can only see the dark side of it and all the flowers , go home and plant your own flowers , the man is doing wonders for the villages
my immediate thought is similar. she is just a passerby. the flowers are destroyed which we regret but this road is a blessing to the locals because it will make their harsh life easier. bring goods faster, quick route for medical necessities, kids will have easier time to go to school, and many benefits.
He is the highest form of humanity. We should be bowing down and thanking him. ❤❤❤❤
Lol @ the lady at 23:00 saying the road is bad for nature. Yes a few flowers were destroyed, but it doesn't compare to the shit the plane you took emitted. Geez
Yes she should become a yak herder because she sure knows how to yak just hope she doesn't break a leg ...😅
@@johnathandaviddunster38💯😁😁😁😁😁
she probably get there by a jumbojet and live in a house with complete climate control in a gated community
So so much Respect for this old man.He is a living legend and real hero.
Such a inspirational video, saltute to the two jcb operators who made it possible
This Buddhist monk is truly inspiring. Thanks for sharing! 🙏🙏🙏
Please convey my humble pranams 🙏🙏🙏 to the great noble monk who has proved that angle exists in human forms. My lots of admiration and respect to both the JCB operators. May god bless u all till eternity and remove all the obstacles from the life of the great monk and his two innocent yet dedicated JCB operators. i cried watching this beautiful video. Thank you so much for making this great video and making us understand and witness the true story of selfless love.... ❤ its so well said that service to mankind is service to god🙏🙏🙏. May the people of whole reason help the monk get back his sold land to get jcb
We need more people like this monk in the world...
Why, are we lacking roads?
@@IcelanderUSer Use your brain instead saying brainless stuff
*We need to become like this monk
Who would have thought that an old frail monk, living in a remote monastery, on top of the mountains, would have such a broad view of the world around him. To serve his people, he sold his only possession, a small piece of land, to buy a machine that would connect this tiny village to the rest of the world. While others wait for the government to bring development to their village, this lone monk actually went ahead on his own and made is a reality already. While monks seek solitude and peace to connect with the Buddha, this lone monk has brought the blessings of Buddha directly to the people through one bold act. Though the villagers rightly despair that modernity would destroy their lifestyle, yet it is the need of the hour as their life is threatened from not just the hostile and serene nature, but the enemy just across the border. But this monk has already shown the enlightenment to the people he shares this world with. And if that is not a way to nirvana, then what is? It amazes me that in this world of jealousy, competition, aggression and deceit, one still cares for the people around him. This makes our world, just a tad bit happier.
An incredible video of perseverance, dedication and love for people. Chonjur is a great hero of our times and he is widely recognized for his excellence but the two men who operated the JCB are also heros. Singh and Kumar did a wonderful job on this stretch against all odds. Thanks for the great video. 🙏🙏🙏
selfless dedication for betterment of the community by the Buddhist monk is truly inspiring.
Salutations to Greatest Chonjor, Bunty and Surjit. They are greatest of greats. They possess indomitable spirit. Their names and works will be forever imprinted, enshrined and immortalized into eternity.
GOD BLESS this BUDDHIST MAN and his team for doing a great job.....for HUMANITY😊
So much respect to the man, who brought easy access to all the villagers. May his work and dedication pays him off
I salute this great, remarkable, phenomenal persona. He dictates the history of mankind and region. Through him events, currents of time pass.
❤ If I can be anywhere right now! This very second, I would fly to Zanskar and volunteer my humble self to this beautiful incredible man's life desire, ... better for people
"Unscientific Road-Building Triggers Yet Another Himalayan Landslide
Rashme Sehgal | 12 Aug 2021
Locals who were enthused by the prospect of roads are now up in arms, agitating at regular intervals against unscientific construction as landslides plague the hills."
.
Instead of being driven by your emotions, why not learn from life?
Tsultrim Chonjor, a perfect gift from God to his people and community....such a selfless dedication....to humanity.....
The Road he Made is a Life Changer for The Zanskar Region and to the whole Ladakh as well & for i as a resident of zanskar who often use this road whenever i pass through this road i pray to god for him, he is no less than god in human form, it was supposed to be a govt work but they kept delaying the work due to corruption & yet this single man did what the govt could not. The Future of Zanskar is Bright thanks to May May Chonjor, forever greatful. Thank you for the amazing Documentary.

@@osmpedia1063osm, I quote a news article and you make an ad hominem statement. Why?
@@earlysda Live in the mountain for a year & come back then I'll see if you have the same question, this roads are ray of hope
Corruption is same all over india
10:21 Travelled through Zanskar in 1986. So remote beautiful people wonderful scenery. ❤
This man is a great example.
Such a good heart from the monk I've loved it❤ more blessings
What bravery! Those young men were afraid and did it anyway. Deep respect and gratitude to them. 🙏🙏🙏
I feel building infrastructure is the government's responsibility and duty to its people. Its the lack of the governments initiative that these remarkable men and women step in to fill the gap.
Wow, a monk without outside help constructed a road for his community people's. Hope this man will be remember for a life time. No one could tolerate to construct such an incredible job. 🙏
It is because of the hard work of a few individuals, like this monk, that humanity is kept alive.
poor guy only had a backhoe, when he needed a bulldozer.
Yeah, a bulldozer would be perfect with all that loose stuff. But probably too expensive.
I just hope the road is wide enough for small 4x4 cars.
What a DETERMINATION this 78 Years Old Monk Has 👍👍👍
Unthinkable courage and compassion through which he took up this incredible task. Salute to this great soul.
No matter what, in every action/work, there is a Punjabi and Sikh hand; two unsung heroes of this road building process. 🇮🇳
May God bless this incredible MONK.
One man can make a difference in the world , the price for this road is priceless, and one poor old man made it happen,
That old monk is a true inspiration
Marvelous dosumentary all zanskari are heroes welldone!!!!!
Excellent perspective on human progress from ancient culture into modern civilization. unusuall topic
beautiful work with a JBC and your good thoughts, thank you
Absolutely AMAZING!!! With every step we take there is a possibility of positive or negative effect, I hope and prey for things to work out positively for the people and area of Zanskar. Thank you Tsultrim Chonjor for your generosity, determination and kindness🙏🙏❤❤
I know there is a Loving guiding Power
Very noble monk with a noble thought of building a road may god bless him
This is a touching, heart warming story. One detraction to this story was the interaction between this most dedicated monk and the religious leader he attempted to speak with, starting after 6:49. I hope a lot was lost in translation, because this leader seemed quite pompous. Here's someone, now 78, who spent his LIFE as a monk, had spent years building a road, a new part of which the leader rode on the prior year, yet the leader barely commented on the road, and did not even remember the monk's name. One could hope for some sense of sharing of a common religion, ideology and dedication. But there was none.The leader and his entourage of 300+, all on modern mountain bikes with front suspensions, just passed on by.
Truly amazing
I don't know what to say. I was thinking for a while. I wish him all the good things in life. Salute to both JCB operator. It is indeed very true that giving gives us more joy than receiving.
History will remember these brave courageous and generous human beings who took upon itself to help others with determination as strong as Himalayas!
One mans dream could become other mans world hats off lama ji🙏 in such elderly age you have much love compassion & strength ❤
"just a single man and his willpower" ... and inheritance of land, modern piece of technology as well as the help of 2 young man.
It's an impressive accomplishment, but nothing truly big is ever done on your own.
Sir, you are true Buddhist monk.
absolutely loved watching this video
GREAT VIDEO....VERY MOVING. THANK YOU
He did a amzing thing bringiung the mountains together . If every user pitches in and does small repairs and inprovements this road will help these folks survive.
Great encouraging story!
I believe there is a long difference between 20 yrs of medcation for one's himself and 20 yrs of dedication for one's sorrounds him❤
great video thank you !!
Wot a humble man & yep if everybody had his inspiration wot a different planet this would be,,, beautiful,,👌👌👌❤
What an inspiring story!
Excellent documentary❤!!!
That guy is awesome!
So moving!
its amazing , thanks sharing
The monk is GOAT....showed the better side of human being...exceptional next level unmatched selfless act...
AWESOME DOC ...
That monk is wrong when he says he feels sorry towards the cyclist, has only come to see something new and have some fun....That cyclist probably learnt more in that journey than most academics or religionists learn in a lifetime!
Climate cultists, people who obsess over race, gender cultists, dogmatic atheists, leftists in general. Yes, these religionists have much to learn.
Thankyou for your great lesson
Vey nice interested documentry about zanskar really hard life peope facing bravelly .❤🎉
Baba aapka 10% attitude aur resilience bhi agar humey mil jaye to jeevan me koi pareshani na rhe ❤ 🙏
Did wonderful for future of Zanskar. Thanks for hard worker and who made wonderful documentary videos 👍
This is the ultimate of devotion and unselfishness.🆒😎👍!
Thank to this monk and his thinking
I really appreciate what this monk did. But the fact that a private individual had to sell his land to fund the opening of a road is indicative of the impotence and ineptitude of the government.
Big respect to this one man Army...🫡🫡🫡
Wish he have a wishful n long Life..🙏🇮🇳🙏
Salute to the monk and big salute to the jcb drivers 🙏🫡🫡🫡🫡just an extraordinary work and dedication by these people.. i m living in ladakh region since two years. And looking at these people doing something extraordinary work in this region is just beyond my imagination..hats of to them.
