Hi everyone. Thanks for the continued support on my content. It really means a lot reading all of your beautiful comments. I will 100% be back in India in September for good and will be exploring Indias deepest regions, speaking to locals and sharing their stories. Stay Tuned. - Mike Okay x P.S If anyone can help me find Dorjai, the guy who picked me up and gave me the energy drink and we sang songs together, I want him to see the video.

I think Army personal tried to say, they were heading towards Nyoma which is protected area due to nearer Chinese border. (where foreigners & we too need permit to visit.) If you had said you needed lift till Upshi then they should be fine. Usually army give lift in my experience very often - and especially for sure at times where and when chances to get help from others is less..

Military people have an important duty to do, they already have a huge responsibility of their own, and now if you are with them and some enemy attack their convoy, and something bad happen to you also, it will become a serious issue, especially for the commander who gave permission

Those were some of the most dangerous roads. Kudos to our brothers in transport, army, medical staff, etc who have to travel on mountain roads all the time for the people. It's very dangerous.

Epic ! Liked the pictures around Leh. It is not a good idea to be be on the mountain road when the conditions are icy, wet and slippery. The first time I visited the Rohtang pass was from Manali in summer about 15 years back. I took a local government minibus tour of the pass from Manali. I was shocked how the driver was nonchalantly driving up the winding road with sheer cliffs on one side. Even then there were stretches of the road where the asphalt has been washed away by heavy rains. The next time I went to the region I just flew from Delhi to Leh :)

Hey brother don't feel bad about army guys not giving you lift. They need to follow certain protocols in J&K we have hostile neighborhoods in east and west side of J &K.😊

I could never imagine how hitchhiking from Leh to Manali would look like. I could sense the terror in your eyes and voice when you were speaking about the road and I've sensed it too. I know the feeling. Much love from India.

Great video bro, I don't think I will get to see all those beautiful places as I am ailing but I saw them through your video. Thank you.
