Hello guys! welcome back to my chanel Follow Jack
00:35.1
00:39.9
so just look around here
00:40.0
00:44.8
we're standing in Kargil, infamously known for Kargil war
00:44.9
00:49.7
many incidents like that took place here, Pakistan is very close to this area
00:49.8
00:54.6
this side is our India, I'm so thrilled to stand here
00:54.7
00:59.5
it's a risky place also, will go to one beautiful place that is
00:59.6
01:02.6
the main purpose of the trip, Leh
01:02.7
01:07.5
we're heading to leh, I had fever in the morning coupled with cold
01:07.6
01:12.4
Diarrhoea also happened to me, due to body heat and weather condition
01:12.5
01:17.3
They’re adapted to that but I face that issues regularly
01:17.4
01:22.2
I need to solve that, our stay is Highway inn
01:22.3
01:27.1
it's so much neat with fine carpets that will make you feel warm and cozy
01:27.2
01:32.0
so jai sir and thiru farms bro
01:32.1
01:36.9
our Ram rider with germens also ready to leave the place
01:37.0
01:41.8
our shasha is there in warmup state, 254 Kms from here
01:41.9
01:46.7
is Leh, in the way there are two monasteries
01:46.8
01:51.6
I'm not sure about the name
01:51.7
01:56.5
I'll show those monasteries and will learn few things about that
01:56.6
02:01.4
I'm not sure what things are waiting for me
02:01.5
02:06.3
Yesterday’s ride was so beautiful and unforgettable
02:06.4
02:11.2
I hope me and shasha will look many things
02:11.3
02:16.1
guys are you ready, we'll leave
02:16.2
02:21.0
today's journey is starting so travel with me virtually
02:21.1
02:25.9
Thank you, Thank you...Thank you...see you!
02:26.0
02:30.8
so this boy looks cute, actually in Kargil
02:30.9
02:35.7
they look like mixed race with Tibetian genes
02:35.8
02:40.6
like indo-chinese race
02:40.7
02:45.5
so all looks cute, Thiru bro asked him
02:45.6
02:50.4
whether he was the cousin of Jackie chan
02:50.5
02:55.3
They took good care and gave complimentary breakfast
02:55.4
03:00.2
I want to leave and also not want to leave this place, so double minded mindset
03:00.3
03:05.1
look the hill is full of rocks, we'll fill fuel in nearby bunk
03:05.2
03:10.0
you will put your things in all the places!
03:10.1
03:14.9
I said about that Indo-chinese and tibet looking face structure
03:15.0
03:23.7
the hills looks like broken stones from stone quarries, it’s so high guys
03:23.8
03:28.6
I'm looking while facing my chin up, sir filled fuel for his bike
03:28.7
03:33.5
[SPEAKER NOISE] mileage? 35!
03:33.6
03:40.5
[SPEAKER NOISE] ahm, it's more power with high quality
03:40.6
03:45.4
it's body is metal while other scooter's body is made with plastic
03:45.5
03:52.4
Price! this one I bought in 2014, and it was 1 Lakh during that time
03:52.5
03:57.3
now it will cost you 1.5 lakh, thank you! all are gazing upon us
03:57.4
04:02.2
look at me, I'm the driver!
04:02.3
04:07.1
I wiped the dust too, this bike always overflows
04:07.2
04:12.0
because the mouth is small, I'll mention in all bunks
04:12.1
04:16.9
I'll warn them about the overflow issue
04:17.0
04:21.8
I actually travelled in this way, I can’t see anything and it was pitch back
04:21.9
04:26.7
only able to see light rays from small houses
04:26.8
04:31.6
but now the view is clear and looks like houses built in the middle of quarries
04:31.7
04:36.5
I'm not sure how they can live here, looks like landslide happens a lot and they're situated right there
04:36.6
04:41.4
it's built in cement with wood coloumns and base
04:41.5
04:46.3
look so cool, and the temperature will go to -6 degrees in night
04:46.4
04:51.2
during this summer of May and in winter
04:51.3
04:56.1
it will cross negative 12, that scenic beauty is too nice
04:59.3
05:04.1
I spotted one medical shop, let’s aske for medicines
05:04.2
05:09.0
go! I'm suffering with stomach upset
05:09.1
05:13.9
it maybe because of the chicken I ate yesterday, heat issues
05:14.0
05:18.8
brother do you have this loperamide tablet?
05:18.9
05:23.7
for altitude sickness van you put diamox?
05:23.8
05:28.6
finished! okay that’s the right tablet...he says
05:28.7
05:33.5
thank God! he had those pills, let's have those medicines
05:33.6
05:38.4
and will leave the place otherwise my stomach will burst!
05:38.5
05:43.3
I have to manage everything from bike issues to
05:43.4
05:48.2
body issues, OMG! I prayed wrongfully
05:48.3
05:53.1
I just prayed for the vehicle and I missed to pray for my health
05:53.2
05:58.0
that's the main issue, do you have water?
06:02.9
06:07.7
after ddrinking ORS my stomach turned to calm position
06:07.8
06:12.6
breakfast was bread only so
06:12.7
06:17.5
it's not sufficient for my food style, I needed fruits and eggs additionally
06:19.1
06:25.0
we booked a hostel for our stay
06:25.1
06:29.9
we just received the booking confirmation but yet to confirm in person due to the tourist season
06:30.0
06:34.8
so leh will be the crowded one here, this ride will also take
06:34.9
06:39.7
8 - 9 PM to reach, it was assumption of both me and Jai sir
06:39.8
06:44.6
because we want to see many sights and need photo sessions
06:44.7
06:49.5
we manly came for that so the ride will drag along
06:49.6
06:54.4
another factor is my bike, which struggles a lot
06:54.5
06:59.3
gear bike is manageable but it's tough to drive in this conditions
06:59.4
07:04.2
I need to constantly push it...like othe saying in one famous comedy
07:04.3
07:09.1
Leh, I mentioned about this right only nee to turn right in this bridge
07:09.2
07:14.0
sea is nice....! my bad it's river
07:14.1
07:18.9
I'm blabbering in the morning don’t think that I'm drunken, nobody is waiting for me here
07:19.0
07:23.8
I guess they thought I will come by my own
07:23.9
07:28.7
I'm like a small child and they forgot that, germens is there!
07:28.8
07:33.6
hey buddy , he is a good guy but after winter ride
07:33.7
07:38.5
many are in touch with me and
07:38.6
07:43.4
all the guys will ask for trip plan but
07:43.5
07:48.3
so I came with him in this trip
07:48.4
07:51.8
there is another guy named Selvam with MT15 from Trichy who is also my winter ride mate
07:51.9
07:56.7
there is a guy named Rajesh who owns a YouTube channel
07:56.8
08:01.6
he has a KTM 290R adventure, also
08:01.7
08:06.5
my bike looks like ant compared to those bikes in RAW power
08:06.6
08:11.4
Oh GOD look at those view, if you have whatever problems in life
08:11.5
08:16.3
do travel guys!
08:16.4
08:21.2
you may say that you can say it easily but there are no choice
08:21.3
08:26.1
you need to step up and see outside world
08:26.2
08:31.0
so you will get solution for your problems and your mind will be peaceful
08:31.1
08:35.9
I'll show the view of the valley beyond the road
08:36.0
08:40.8
because I want you to witness these things
08:40.9
08:45.7
look here, its awesome right ?
08:45.8
08:50.6
we came from there, we crossed this path
08:50.7
08:55.5
yesterday we went from there, it's good looking scenery
08:55.6
09:00.4
water is flwoing with small plantations
09:00.5
09:05.3
but we can’t stay idle in one place for too long because
09:05.4
09:10.2
Army personnel will whistle and warn to move
09:10.3
09:15.1
we need to move also, Mulbekj...Khangral...Leh
09:15.2
09:20.0
so 222 Kms there to cover
09:20.1
09:24.9
you need 4-5 hours to cover 200 Kms, here it’s 222 Kms
09:25.0
09:29.8
okay today we need to ride completely
09:29.9
09:34.7
I thought filling petrol will be though but there are many bunks here
09:34.8
09:39.6
I'll miss the Kargil valley because will drop into Manali
09:39.7
09:44.5
so I don’t know when I will again visit this place, let’s see
09:44.6
09:49.4
our guys are standing and taking Videos
09:49.5
09:54.3
sir signalled me to move on
09:54.4
09:59.2
scooter can’t cross 40 in full throttle, its okay
09:59.3
10:04.1
still I’ll achieve with this scooter
10:04.2
10:09.0
my brakes are loose so need to be careful
10:09.1
10:13.9
as front brake is disk it’s too loose
10:14.0
10:18.8
It’s stopping after sometime only, can you see that zigzag pattern
10:18.9
10:23.7
those are built for lorry and vehicle passage
10:23.8
10:28.6
I'm not sure how they built this in Landslide area I guess they will rebuild again and again
10:28.7
10:33.5
but it looks like some snake shaped path
10:33.6
10:38.4
one of the beautiful scenery in my life
10:38.5
10:43.3
Don’t expect this in abroad countries, our country has a great place called Ladakh so come and witness
10:43.4
10:48.2
then you will never get that interest to visit other countries
10:48.3
10:53.1
I never expect this to be this much beautiful compared to Videos
10:53.2
10:58.0
it's a mindblowing experience, this side has stones
10:58.1
11:02.9
and this side too,in the middle as usual river
11:03.0
11:07.8
water is bluish white and I think
11:08.4
11:14.4
in car they will lock he speed and put cruise control
11:14.5
11:19.3
and put that Automatic mode on and
11:19.4
11:24.2
just sit back and enjoying this view will be perfect
11:24.3
11:29.1
but if we do we'll end up in heaven, literally !
11:29.2
11:34.0
we may get into accident or will die, I think like that only because
11:34.1
11:38.9
I can’t choose between riding or focus on the scenery. Still my eyes is on there only
11:39.0
11:43.8
just pressing accelerator and it moves
11:43.9
11:48.7
focus is on nature only and if some two vehicles ambush in front of me I can’t do anything
11:48.8
11:53.6
looks like sunny but can’t feel heat
11:53.7
11:58.5
When I woke up the temperature was -4 and it was -2 when I left there
11:58.6
12:01.6
here also same and I never checked the temperature
12:01.7
12:06.5
it's like I rided for 30 minutes but still 200 Kms more so we crossed 24 Kms
12:06.6
12:11.4
in 30 minutes... there is one small temple
12:11.5
12:16.3
they have this Indian Flag also looks good
12:16.4
12:21.2
will visit next time, just standing here for the view
12:21.3
12:26.1
I wanted to admire this, look there it's so high
12:26.2
12:31.0
there are some small buddha temle like structures
12:31.1
12:35.9
maybe it’s for locals worshiping
12:36.0
12:40.8
maybe we'll have a chance to experience that temple in sometime
12:40.9
12:45.7
told everyone in my town aboutnthis plan to visit Leh in May month
12:45.8
12:50.6
about my Ladakh trip and no one believed me
12:50.7
12:55.5
they asked in which vehicle? I said scooter and in return they said
12:55.6
13:00.4
going to Kerala in scooter is okay but it won’t the right choice for high altitude places
13:00.5
13:05.3
but I thought about that, so shall we do it in September
13:05.4
13:10.2
or similar season to avoid snow and ride in dry situation
13:10.3
13:15.1
those advices are valid and many told its a tough task
13:15.2
13:20.0
some people said you can do it dude, the motivation they gave me
13:20.1
13:24.9
is the things that drived me here today
13:25.0
13:29.8
germens and Jai sir are standing there, wait we have to pause and move due to the scenery
13:29.9
13:34.7
its a joyful moment guys
13:34.8
13:39.6
what happened? [SPEAKER NOISE]
13:39.7
13:44.5
[SPEAKER NOISE] oh you’re chilling here!
13:44.6
13:49.4
this valley has no water, so dry
13:58.5
14:03.3
those pits looks like sand load dropped for construction works
14:03.4
14:08.2
will take a pic of shasha in sunlight as last two days was full of snow and greenery
14:08.3
14:13.1
today we'll face dry state in this desert
14:13.2
14:18.0
it's on another level, let's call my family in phone
14:19.0
14:27.1
if they take my video call will show this wonderful view to them
14:27.2
14:32.0
they will see this in the video for sure, but showing in live is different
14:32.1
14:36.9
Mother is not picking the call, let's try father's number
14:37.0
14:41.8
I'm in the whole display now, pick the call
14:41.9
14:46.7
can you hear me, dad?
14:46.8
14:51.6
I'm here dad
14:51.7
14:57.1
- are you in cold, voice looks dfferent
14:57.2
15:02.0
my hands are literally freezing, yeah I have cold
15:02.1
15:09.6
can get good signal reception here
15:09.7
15:14.5
[SPEAKER NOISE] yeah this way is full of rocks and not snow
15:14.6
15:18.6
looks like sand pits
15:18.7
15:23.5
I called my father and voice was breaking
15:23.6
15:28.4
if I ask for a cellphone signal in the middle of nowhere is bit too much
15:28.5
15:33.3
Kargil war memorial is near to us so let's give it a visit
15:33.4
15:42.3
like one guy trapped in a deadly situation this task to climb uphill at a stretch is very difficult for my scooter
15:42.4
15:47.2
other three guys who are way behind had overtaken us
15:47.3
15:52.1
it can't cross 40 in speed, the freezing wind blows against me
15:52.2
15:57.0
in this direction of my left to right
15:57.1
16:01.9
come on buddy, peace ! fellow rider showes peace sign
16:02.0
16:06.8
many riders will be there in Leh and they will get shocked to see us
16:06.9
16:11.7
super, why you're looking like that?
16:11.8
16:16.6
that makes me feel awkward
16:16.7
16:21.5
many will organise group ride for leh, manali and Ladakh
16:21.6
16:26.4
they have targets for each day in visiting spots
16:26.5
16:31.3
they will finish within 7-8 days
16:31.4
16:36.2
I heard that they won’t have this liberty to stop at random places to take pics
16:36.3
16:41.1
they will ask what bro this place looks so nice adn which place, I'll say it's Ladakh
16:41.2
16:46.0
they will say like, I too went but never noticed and took pics there properly
16:46.1
16:50.9
you spent lot of money, so capture this memories
16:51.0
16:55.8
spend 10-15 minutes to take pics and videos and make the group organisers understand this
16:55.9
17:00.7
you can give this as a request so they will give some time
17:00.8
17:05.6
as they will have specific timing to reach back to home
17:05.7
17:10.5
so plan accordingly and discuss
17:10.6
17:15.4
they all disciplined so
17:15.5
17:20.3
they won’t get the photo opportunities so carefully ask them
17:20.4
17:25.2
then join the group, we can see many thingswith our eyes
17:25.3
17:30.1
that can be recalled only by us, but to express others
17:30.2
17:35.0
Pictures and videos are important so
17:35.1
17:39.9
don't forget to take those not only here in other destinations too
17:40.0
17:44.8
look at the path we came, you can see the road
17:44.9
17:49.7
bike is still struggling but it’s okay
17:49.8
17:54.6
atleast it won’t get stuck or failed
17:54.7
18:00.5
my baby is a dedicated one in that section
18:00.6
18:05.4
if I carried a pillion it would have been stuck
18:05.5
18:10.3
because of pulling power, lorries are so colourful and looks different
18:10.4
18:15.2
look at the rim they have star shape designs like papad
18:15.3
18:20.1
board says Leh is 171 Kms more
18:20.2
18:25.0
okay we covered 50 Kms and it's tiring for both of us
18:25.1
18:29.9
but it's worth the effort
18:34.9
18:49.3
"upbeat music"
18:49.4
18:54.2
in last video, you may saw zojilapass
18:54.3
18:59.1
in this video you’re going to see Namikala pass, which is 12000 ft, and previous one is 11000 ft
19:03.5
19:08.3
you can take pics, shoot quickly
19:08.4
19:13.2
guys you can see that road right?
19:13.3
19:18.1
till that tip it's curvy and lorries look so tiny like ants
19:18.2
19:23.0
[UNKNOWN WORD] look there a tempo traveler
19:23.1
19:50.0
"Pleasant music"
19:50.1
19:54.9
Literally we're travelling between two mountains
19:55.0
19:59.8
we saw one restaurant while riding
19:59.9
20:04.7
we parked there, we were starving
20:04.8
20:09.6
I had stomach disturbance so I was relieved and then we had veg pulav
20:09.7
20:14.5
then had veg briyani, both are same but
20:14.6
20:19.4
briyani had some gravy mixed with it that’s all
20:19.5
20:24.3
we had those then had some curd before leaving
20:24.5
20:32.2
people anf tourists took photos with ram rider and other's bikes
20:32.3
20:37.1
it was snow falling also so they took pics
20:37.2
20:42.0
it made me chuckle, look here they made the road like this and it’s dangerous
20:42.1
20:46.9
looks like these rocks can fall and damage the roads
20:47.0
20:51.8
I heard the news about Manali road being blocked
20:51.9
20:56.7
so there are many passes to cross before reaching Manali road
20:56.8
21:01.6
so it will be ideal to reach there after finishing everything
21:01.7
21:06.5
look it says 'snow flower point', what flower!
21:06.6
21:11.4
Maybe snow falls like flower
21:11.5
21:16.3
rocks carved and looks like dinosaur's teeth
21:16.5
21:23.9
Everyone speaks about Leh and Ladakh ride only
21:24.0
21:28.8
but it has many things to consider such as safety precautions
21:28.9
21:33.7
Important thing is altitude and this climate
21:33.8
21:38.6
Riders need to have proper gears to handle this
21:38.7
21:42.1
still you’ll feel cold but manageable
21:42.2
21:47.0
and book the staying place beforehand so it will be smooth
21:47.1
21:51.9
then you can fix your targets and go
21:52.0
21:56.8
this view looks first class....there is a banner of our PM Modi
21:56.9
22:01.7
hey! water looks so blue in colour
22:01.8
22:06.6
look there, it’s one blue hue completely
22:06.7
22:11.5
It’s on another level
22:11.6
22:16.4
so this must be the crystal clear water
22:16.5
22:21.3
we'll cross the bridge now, I'm witnessing crystal clear water
22:21.4
22:26.2
it was white initially and now it's blueish and looks cool
22:26.3
22:31.1
shall we take a bath? then we'll die in hypothermia
22:31.2
22:36.0
Entry here? we'll have to buy entry
22:36.1
22:40.9
entry..entry!...
22:49.5
22:55.0
is it horse or donkey ? neither of those it's a cow
22:55.1
22:59.9
looks like cows from our region with yellow tags in ears
23:00.0
23:04.8
maybe they bought the cows in EMI
23:04.9
23:09.7
Livelihoods are difficult they need to milk them or some will sell for meat
23:09.8
23:14.6
not sure about here but cows looks the same
23:14.7
23:19.5
we officially entered Leh
23:19.6
23:24.4
9 Kms more to the hostel we have booked
23:24.5
23:29.3
the bullet gang we saw in last video is scattered in front of me and some of them are behind
23:29.4
23:34.2
They’re also riding, actually I said Manali was closed
23:34.3
23:38.0
I'm not sure how they will go to Manali.
23:38.1
23:42.9
They will have some alternative plans of course like again going to kashmir for different route
23:43.0
23:47.8
not sure about them but I have no issues, as 6 days are there till the opening
23:47.9
23:52.7
shall I trail them back or overtake them?
23:52.8
23:57.6
I'm thinking, [SPEAKER NOISE] so this is easy for me
23:57.7
24:02.5
that too with single bag
24:02.6
24:07.4
there are road works going on with divider in all places
24:07.5
24:12.3
these girls writing something on them
24:12.4
24:17.2
OMG! They’re writing their names, it's sand so nothing will be visible
24:17.3
24:21.0
looks like limestone ...
24:21.1
24:25.9
so currently
24:26.0
24:30.8
we're at Leh town
24:30.9
24:35.7
the view get from all angles are beautiful
24:35.8
24:40.6
we're at the centre of the Leh, airport and market is nearby
24:40.7
24:45.5
so this is a main area and our stay is
24:45.6
24:49.2
behind us, Leh Hostel
24:49.3
24:54.1
if you’re coming with a group or friends then I’ll recommend this place
24:54.2
24:59.0
it's so neat and you get what you see in pictures
24:59.1
25:03.9
they maintain the same neatness and they have roof garden too
25:04.0
25:08.8
our boys are sitting up there and
25:08.9
25:13.7
I never rided so adventurous like yesterday in my whole life
25:13.8
25:18.6
it was so thrilling and I was in double minded about reaching on time
25:18.7
25:23.5
it was so cold and I
25:23.6
25:28.4
used thermal liner in all parts but still I felt coldness, will never forget the ride
25:28.5
25:33.3
so we reached here and parked our bike here
25:33.4
25:40.6
Jai sir's bike V-storm, ram rider's R15, Thiru farm brother's V-storm and germens bullet
25:40.7
25:45.5
this one went 110 in hills
25:45.6
25:50.4
he was vibed so much! Actually he suffered altitude sickness
25:50.5
25:55.3
3 of us suffered so we took pills
25:55.4
26:00.2
and somehow we managed to get here, this is our Leh hostel
26:00.3
26:05.1
and there you can see the leh palace, will show the view from terrace
26:05.2
26:10.0
let's go inside, it will look beautiful
26:10.1
26:14.9
They’re doing the cleanng process now
26:15.0
26:19.8
this is the reception and our room is there
26:19.9
26:24.7
I'll show the rooftop view I have too!
26:24.8
26:29.6
because it looks so beautiful
26:29.7
26:34.5
so they will order coffee from top floor and
26:34.6
26:39.4
we have cafeteria in ground floor so we can order and
26:39.5
26:44.3
they ahve timings for the cafe like breakfast till 10.30 AM
26:44.4
26:49.2
then 12-2 PM for lunch
26:49.3
26:54.1
They will provide snacks in evening times
26:54.2
26:59.0
so breathing heavily now
26:59.1
27:03.9
so this is the rooftop
27:04.0
27:08.8
sorry...[SPEAKER NOISE]
27:08.9
27:13.7
so our guys are sitting here
27:13.8
27:18.6
Hi germen, tell hi...
27:18.7
27:23.5
dude recovered from the sickness in night, how are you feeling right now?
27:23.6
27:28.4
I said right, hs bullet was rushing with 110 Kmph
27:28.5
27:33.3
we both desperately wanted to reach the hostel
27:33.4
27:38.2
look at the leh's town view
27:38.3
27:43.1
it's beautiful isn’t it?
27:43.2
27:48.0
what if we have our house near this place
27:48.1
27:52.9
it's nice but feels dry
27:53.0
27:57.8
we can vibe alone here
27:57.9
28:02.7
so Leh hostel is a must visit spot
28:02.8
28:07.6
and Jai sir is here
28:07.7
28:12.5
sir tell hi...so he is the one
28:12.6
28:17.4
who ensured that we're following code of discipline and reaching on time
28:17.5
28:22.3
so keeping up time is a big deal here
28:22.4
28:27.2
and getting these bags tied to vehicle is very tough
28:27.3
28:32.1
we're always with shoes as we can’t bear the cold, sir how do you feel?
28:32.2
28:37.0
about the cold... - yeah fine, it’s manageable
28:37.1
28:41.9
it will be a different task in night time, - these boys are suffering only
28:42.0
28:46.8
so we survived cold, fever and other sickness
28:46.9
28:51.7
let's see and sir says tough times are yet to come
28:51.8
28:56.6
what sir? - we haven’t faced any issues so far as we travelled in NH road
28:56.7
29:01.5
-we'll witness the actual Ladakh from now on
29:01.6
29:06.4
I doubted about my scooter but it brought me till this point with no issues and still going
29:06.5
29:11.3
but my body can’t tolerate this due to weather conditions and terrain issues
29:11.4
29:16.2
so I suffer with fever and body pain frequently
29:16.3
29:21.1
so I need to focus on that -Time is 11 and it's only 8 degree celsius
29:21.2
29:26.0
Sir it shows 4 degrees, it's too cold!
29:26.1
29:30.9
this time may be like this and it may reduce in future
29:31.0
29:35.8
I don’t know about you but we have this issues
29:35.9
29:40.7
there is a open space so you can stand sometime in sunlight, thiru farm bro is also standing there, greetings Brother!
29:40.8
29:45.6
he is taking sun bath, tell hi to subscribers - Hi...hi!
29:45.7
29:50.5
he also owns a YouTube channel and doing Leh/Ladakh trip, how is it brother?
29:50.6
29:55.4
Ladakh! are you enjoying - it's so cold here
29:55.5
30:02.4
so brother is... - I'm not only wearing this tee, I'm also having this thermal layer
30:02.5
30:06.5
- I'm standing in sunlight with thermal layer, but this climate is suitable
30:06.6
30:11.4
actually it's sunny but we can’t feel hotness
30:11.5
30:16.3
same thing we can feel cold with bright sunlight
30:16.4
30:21.2
that's the situation and we need to survive
30:21.3
30:26.1
we choosed two spots so in the short time
30:26.2
30:28.4
we'll check that places for details, let's go
30:28.5
30:56.0
"upbeat music"
30:56.1
31:00.9
we're exactly standing at the entrance of Leh Palace
31:01.0
31:05.8
and from parking you can find this shops selling beautiful woollen scarfs
31:05.9
31:10.7
they're spinning the scarfs and looks nice
31:10.8
31:15.6
look here, she shouts and sells beautifully than her knitting
31:15.7
31:20.5
all are handmade and beautiful , yeah it’s so beautiful !
31:20.6
31:25.4
so brother bought and tied the flag of Leh in his bike
31:25.5
31:28.5
we'll tie one for our shasha too
31:28.6
31:33.4
we'll enter here, this is the entrance and Karuna bro is already inside
31:33.5
31:38.3
here board says archaeological survey of India
31:38.4
31:42.1
this is one of the archeological sites of India
31:42.2
31:47.0
hostel is there below only and it looks so majestic when seen closer
31:47.1
31:51.9
and they have this night lamps for us to use, if you visit here
31:52.0
31:56.8
it will be useful for you with this yellow light ambience
31:56.9
32:01.7
so the history of palace is
32:01.8
32:06.6
King Senge Namgyal built this palace
32:06.7
32:11.5
there is one palace in Tibet known as Potala palace
32:11.6
32:16.4
this was built with the resemblance of thatpalace and this one is his residential place
32:16.5
32:21.3
till 1950's it was inhabited
32:21.4
32:26.2
their descendants were lived here till then and after that
32:26.3
32:31.1
invasion of Dogra happened
32:31.2
32:36.0
so they’re forced to leave this place
32:36.1
32:40.9
then it was left unattended and taken care by none
32:41.0
32:45.8
they took lot of efforts to restore this place
32:45.9
32:50.7
Currently it's maintained by Indian archeological survey
32:50.8
32:55.6
and it gives that awe feeling and make us to question really people lived here?
32:55.7
33:00.5
it's shocking and amazing at same time
33:00.6
33:05.4
because think about it, from top of this big house the view of the Leh will be
33:05.5
33:10.3
the view of the town is 360 degree from this place
33:10.4
33:15.2
so they built in that concept and some architectural monuments are
33:15.3
33:20.1
still in there like Buddhist paintings, old jewelleries
33:20.2
33:25.0
they're preserving and it's happy to here
33:25.1
33:29.9
no one will omit this place in their lay trip
33:30.0
33:34.8
one of the main tourist spot in here
33:34.9
33:39.7
just 5 minutes drive from town
33:39.8
33:44.6
just take the left road from town and go straight to reach here
33:44.7
33:49.5
it's a great thing to maintain this 17th century building in good condition till date
33:49.6
33:54.4
that building is also tolerates the external factors
33:54.5
33:59.3
Nowadays our modern constructed houses faces damages in shorter period
33:59.4
34:04.2
but this survived 3 centuries and still going, it's great
34:04.3
34:09.1
they will give entry ticket if you gave 25 Rs to him
34:09.2
34:14.0
Don’t ask why, but this amount will contribute to the preservation and maintenance of this place
34:14.1
34:18.9
that's a good thing, cause no one will work freely
34:19.0
34:23.8
so emplyees need to pay, so entry ticket is fine
34:23.9
34:28.7
are you ready brother, shall we go inside?
34:28.8
34:33.6
so we'll enter inside, they have this steps like structure here
34:33.7
35:09.0
"upbeat music"
35:09.1
35:13.9
when I enter inside the view is like this only so
35:14.0
35:18.8
I don't know what kind of wood is this maybe teak...
35:18.9
35:23.7
Ceiling is made of wood work and history of the place is displayed here
35:23.8
35:28.6
look at the wood, I guess it's teak
35:28.7
35:33.5
it's there to withstand the cold
35:33.6
35:38.4
inside they have this small museum and here
35:38.5
35:43.3
they have tibet style painings, atificates and old photos about how it was built
35:43.4
35:48.2
they explain everything about this place with pictures
35:48.3
35:53.1
and you can find Buddhist paintings there
35:53.2
35:58.0
it's so nice to see
35:58.1
36:02.9
as you can see this
36:03.0
36:07.8
this looks odd but nice to see
36:07.9
36:12.7
most of them are paintings and old photographs like this
36:12.8
36:17.6
so we're standing inside this picture...
36:17.7
36:22.5
the place actually, t's proud to stand inside a historical place
36:22.6
36:27.4
if you visit Leh, do come here and
36:27.5
36:31.0
many are spending time here
36:31.1
36:41.2
"upbeat music"
36:41.3
36:46.1
so when you get up here you can see small rooftop structure
36:46.2
36:51.0
you can see the view of whole Leh town
36:51.1
36:55.9
look here, this is the hostel we stay, it's there
36:56.0
37:00.8
that's the building
37:00.9
37:05.7
our hostel sta and I can see my orange colour scooter
37:05.8
37:10.6
and this is the Leh street
37:10.7
37:15.5
this view is so majestic
37:15.6
37:20.4
we can go on top actually
37:20.5
37:25.3
let's go, consider that we’re technically at the 6th floor
37:25.4
37:30.2
this is the 6th floor and I was standing there
37:30.3
37:35.1
now in terrace, i don’t know what it is
37:35.2
37:40.0
but..maybe it's like a hideout
37:40.1
37:44.9
it goes even upper
37:45.0
37:49.8
people are standing there too
37:49.9
37:54.7
we'll go to eight floor now, if they gave lift the it will be easy for me
37:54.8
37:59.6
I need to bend a little to move, specially for my height
37:59.7
38:04.5
I need to bend half the body
38:04.6
38:09.4
I can’t explain in words
38:09.5
38:14.3
and people are lived here, and it was a home
38:14.4
38:19.2
why don’t we have houses like this in hilltop
38:19.3
38:24.1
Having a cup of tea with our loved ones at here will be
38:24.2
38:29.0
that will be the thing called joy!
38:29.1
38:31.7
that's the feel!
38:31.8
38:42.0
"upbeat music"
38:42.1
38:46.9
these are like small corridors like how they call it as balcony in our natives
38:47.0
38:51.8
like that only, it's very cramped space
38:51.9
38:56.7
it will be like 3 ft only
38:56.8
39:01.6
you can’t even put chairs
39:01.7
39:06.5
1..2..3, so 3 spaces
39:06.6
39:11.4
I guess there will be no rooms on this side, many hallow paths are closed maybe they have hidden rooms
39:11.5
39:16.3
and in front
39:16.4
39:21.2
they display the history in a television
39:21.3
40:18.1
"upbeat music"
40:18.2
40:23.0
in our native we'll go to terrace
40:23.1
40:27.9
for chilling and guess why they built this in 17th century, for the same thing
40:28.0
40:32.8
it gives complete 360 degree views
40:32.9
40:37.7
actually I can’t climb there and this palace is standing with the support of one rock joint
40:37.8
40:42.6
we can stay here for some time but
40:42.7
40:47.5
there is one place, can you see that structure
40:47.6
40:52.4
we'll go to that place next and if you visit Leh
40:52.5
40:57.3
this Leh place is a must see spot and
40:57.4
41:02.2
it will give the worthfull experience that will be unforgettable, so trust me!
41:02.3
41:22.8
"upbeat music"
41:22.9
41:27.7
so our next spot is called shanthi stupa
41:27.8
41:32.6
which is a Buddhist monastery and this place
41:32.7
41:37.5
is located 5 Kms above from Ladakh town and
41:37.6
41:42.4
as we saw the Leh palace
41:42.5
41:47.3
this will looks like small sharp Aquarius shaped structure from there
41:47.4
41:52.2
in top view you can see a sitting Buddha
41:52.3
41:57.1
he is sitting calmly in between two people
41:57.2
42:06.9
in 1985 it was inaugurated by 14th Dalai lama Jetsun Jamphel Ngawang Lobsang Yeshe Tenzin Gyatso then they finished the construction in 1991
42:07.0
42:11.8
it was built by one Japanese Buddhist organisation
42:11.9
42:16.7
they built with their collaboration
42:16.8
42:21.6
this was built for the celebration of Buddhism's existence of 2500 years
42:21.7
42:26.5
it looks so nice and the main concern is
42:26.6
42:31.4
to stand for world peace and prosperity
42:31.5
42:36.3
they built with that motto
42:36.4
42:41.2
and if you come to the top, you can enjoy the mountain view
42:41.3
42:46.1
and can take pics from there too
42:46.2
42:51.0
entry ticket is 30 rs per head for maintenance
42:51.1
42:55.9
it has two levels
42:56.0
43:00.8
those first level will have small statues and will show that in a minute
43:00.9
43:05.7
the top place has this main statue, look there Buddha is sitting
43:05.8
43:10.6
we'll take a closer look
43:10.7
43:15.5
as it's a Buddhist temple we need to leave footwear outside
43:15.6
43:20.4
we're at the first floor and the first thing we can see is these colourful walls
43:20.5
43:25.3
with gold, green colour domination and deer patterns, looks nice
43:25.4
43:30.2
it complements the white colour and next if we cross this first floor
43:30.3
43:35.1
we can cover the first floor with walking, i mentioned about small statues right?
43:35.2
43:40.0
these are the the statues I was talked about
43:40.1
43:44.9
nice craftsmanship and
43:45.0
43:49.8
these statues with same colour pallet are around 360 degree of this walls
43:49.9
43:54.7
this montain view is separated by the white colour of the structure
43:54.8
43:59.6
brown and white
