Atlast some understood the importance of a heritage i.e Land Rover.Thank you Autocar.U guys just made ur proud.

Samantha my daughter...you are great ..I really appreciate your courage and determination...good..keep going....born blessed..🤗❤🥰

Finally Manebhangyang and it's Land Rovers get a much deserved media attention ... Sandakphu and Falut (12000 ft) are the beautiful peaks from where U can see the Kunchendzonga up close ... It's a trekkers paradise !! N yeah they din show U the final near vertical hair pin turns wen ur bout to reach Sandakphu... It's just crazy ... Well finally glad to see Sandakphu (Darjeeling) covered by Autocar!!

Land rovers are the best off road vehicles

Thank you for the amazing video.. Would it be possible for you guys to make videos about car break-downs and how can we fix it if we find ourselves in the middle no where.. also something on the lines of basic mechanical/technical functioning of cars.. Looking forward.. Thanks again :)

Thanks a lot was there in 2000 for a trek such a beautiful place away from the noise , hustle and bustle of busy life and still these beasts are ploughing on that roads and the beauty

Darjeeling is the hub of old Land Rovers , some date backs to late 40s n 50s . but due to constant terrain beat over the decades and environment concern these majestic true raw 4x4 are getting phased out slowly. Recently DM banned these cars from Sandakphu . Also would like to mention Samantha is the first certified Land Rover Coach in India. How beautifully and easily she was steering the car in the narrow up road . Most men would never dare or would want power steering car .

Rahul Sengupta they may be classics and i get your feelings but the norms are for our health and ssfety. These cars are too raw to be on the road now.

Thanks for bringing that portion of india to the focus of the auto enthusiasts, as I hailed from there I always knew the kind of skill needed to master those roads and I used to tell all my other friends about that experience but now it just got validated because of you people. Thanks for that.

one of the best in recent times........HERITAGE

Fabulous road....Want to drive in these road❤️......

Epic road and epic drive by both of you.. kudos.

Finaaaally......after all those "crazy driving stories" of North India flooded in KZread, someone do appreciated the hardship of driving in eastern Himalayas of West Bengal :)

Very clearly offroad i like it

I went to sandakphu from Darjeeling with this old land rover!

The Amazing thing is this machines are still climbing the hills ❤

Absolutely loved the video!

In the year 2003 I went from Darjeeling to sandakphu trakking it was awesome.

we did that trip on 2016 on AWD Duster, we are the only from the Northeast to explore that place with car

The best place for trekking..

I have a series III santana and they are so amazing

Good speech & very understanding, please repeat again video

Amazing driving Oxford there last year in The last overland journey, together with Samantha 😇🙏

I like land rover👍👍😘😘😘

To take the car upto kalapokhri was challenging , but the last stretch before reaching sandakphu is mad!

What a place man. Can anyone please suggested to me more videos like that. Please help

Good video, I am a fan of Land Rover and Jaguar (JLR)

I went 15km more from Chitre on my RTR 180 on 13th Dec "17, and 2times on LandRover, from "19 it is banned for Riders. Its the toughest road for the Biker in India I can tell, coz for last 6km has Death Risk on every inch. But obviously a lifetime experience.

This place is like heaven guys. If you haven't been to Sandakphu then this place should be in your bucket list.

How long did u guys take to complete this drive.its awesome

The old is just great

Land rover is very good for Indian roads

That is British Engineering to you....😃

That's the reason Renuka Kirpalani was not there in all these videos

The military was in demand of a lightweight car but they also have demands for some tougher than normal parts. In the end the “Lightweight” was more heavy than the standard series.

Always autocar stands ahead of all

The best way to not phase out these Classic off-road rigs is by making them electric,because electric is clean and very easy to make it drive through,even though I prefer and love internal combustion engines as a car enthusiast

Awesome

I just got a Land Rover few months ago and I am enjoying the car.

Oh guys....thats a tough call

I love your videos

wow....

This should be LAND ROVER'S international promotional video. It's pure 70 years of legacy in these hills of Darjeeling.

It is actualy. They have an official video!

A 2a would need double declutching, which may explain the trouble changing from 3rd to 2nd gear! No syncromesh on those gears.

Cars should not be allowed to go to Sandakfu... it is destroying the environment. Gradually this fantastic trekking spot will become like Juhu beach :'(

I been to there at the year 2004.. And can understand what u are feeling now 😂

Bring the car to mustang , nepal.. That looked easy.

May be converting those land rovers with an electric motors would make a sense ,since their engines have not kept an identity,even though I love engines

Guys plz come to idukki Rajakkad area you will get same roads or more in wagmon bhoothathankettu etc and also we guys only got Mahindra cl540 500 550 no Land Rover or range rover.plz come

Can u campare Jeep and range rover old version

Do some thing advanturious on kuv 100

Most of the LR has Mahindra Engine customized as per the driver I have been.

You could use land rover defender 🤭

Folks wanted to do this road make sure you have Range Rover or something with true 4x4. You will definitely need low range gear box on this road. It's that stéep. Good luck

Would be interesting to see a G-Class or a Jeep do this.

Rohan Lawrence D'souza Jeep Trailhawk edition can probably do it. Or the Jeep Wrangler 2 door Sahara edition. Don't think about Compass Limited which is available in India. I don't think any G Class owner will take his or her car there.

kuruvila James once TATA went to Ford to ask to purchase TATA motors car segment,when model of indica failed,Ford made fun of TATA and questioned why you entered when you don't know about cars,Ratan Tata returned and made indica success and also TATA MOTORS,Land Rover and Jaguar were subsidiaries of Ford, Land RoverLander and jaguar performed very poor and fame went down and started making losses for the Ford when they were in the hands of ford,in 2008 TATA purchased that loss making Land Rover and Jaguar and put them into success path again,today Land Rover and Jaguar we are seeing is efforts made by TATA,so future will be great for Land Rover and Jaguar because behind there is TATA.
