OMG..look at him especially the ending part...this guy is so calm and I think that's the reason he stands fearless in the winter storms of the Ladakh region. Love the easiness and simplicity in your videos man. Please make one series on your tech (camera) and camping gear as well.

I haven't had seen such positive comments from viewers in any other KZread videos. Surely a man with Zero haters.
One of the most genuine youtuber we found on youtube. Such a rear thing to see.
I'll follow you on instagram. And it won't be because of the giveaway but because of the precious content you've provided to all of us.
Hey Saravana, couple of quick suggestions - 1. While the warm indoor vibe goes with your personality, but turn up the exposure just a bit more. It's too dark imho. 2. For people on the fence and thinking / wanting to do solo hiking, the mental barrier is bigger than the actual logistics, gear and technical stuff. That mental barrier is mostly because of the fear of the unknown - wild animals, robbery, lack of water and food availability, breaking a law, etc. Most people living in the cities and towns are surrounded by these experiences which has a direct impact on their world view. Putting those fears and doubts to rest by talking about your experiences should help people move from just dreaming to actually doing. Right now, they are living their "dream life" through your videos. Empowering them with the right mindset, expectations and resources can be the greatest gift you can give to those who follow you and the outdoor community in general. Let me know if that makes sense. :) Edited for paragraphs.
You are the most luckiest guy in this planet . My dream to live a life like you do. A true nomadic life 🙏🏻 all good vibes from nyc.

The greatness about your content is the rarerity in midst of all trekking videos on KZread. Your vlogs have complete information in a simplistic manner. Started watching your vlogs randomly and it is my favourite channel on KZread. I like the name also "India in Motion". Thank you for sharing all useful information and documentary which we cannot find on Netflix or any other online streaming applications.

Hi sir I'm from Kerala Previous years after completing my graduation I travel towards north India .. my 1st long solo travel... Your video inspired me a lot.. Thank you sir..
People have already written a lot...since the day i started watching your videos i have stopped watching travel vlogs of most others....coz noone from India really portrays the real and raw terrain of the mountains like u do...u r an inspiration...keep up the good work....God bless u !!!
Beauty of all this is, as other people pointed out, the organic-ness of the interaction, like how a big brother would guide you. I think that is something the mountains do to you. Straightens people out. So refreshing.
Incarnation of optimism and persistence is YOU... video i used to watch before sleeping is from ur channel makes me cozy!!
I love the way you have explained it very precisely and upto the point. I wish all the youtubers to be so precise like you and clear on content.keep up your good work.
A very, very good description of the pluses and minuses for each type of tent. I've watched many tent videos (too many, maybe), and this one gets right to the point with actual experience using them. Well done.
Great video. You have explained these types of tents in a very clear manner. Even a person like me with zero knowledge about tents can comprehend the explaination very easily. Thank you very much for your quality content. You are inspiring. :)
Yet another masterpiece from you. From the valleys to the snow converted lofty mountains or from your home studio talking of tents, you have originality not only in content but also sincerity in delivery. Such a calming effect - you are an epitome of grace and humility. Thank you.

Ultra simplicity you have sir. That is the sign of a great man. I am a physio, i dont know about trekking, and i dont want tents, but hv watched your vdo till end to make sure, u ll get what you want to achieve in life.
You told all about the types with ease and calm ......the last part of giveaway was very honest.....that gives us good vibes.........that's rare we see from content creators..........keep the good work going......
Amazing content :) love to watch your videos, especially your Timelapse, narration and cinematography. All the best for more growth of the channel. Love from Dehradun.
So calm and cool, explaining all the pros and cons in detail.
What a gesture - helping people who share the same passion! Respect!
Lot of information in a single video. 👍🏻 Thanks man ! Keep going.
Hello sir. Great respect for your outlook and spirit of exploration. You have a calm and serene voice which reverbates with the mighty Himalayas. Do not mean to deride anyone, but you are the only Indian with free spirit that is often associated with the westerns. More importantly you are on personal quest, the great glimpses we get to see is just the byproduct of it. Don't leave that goal for the cacophony of daily mundane life. The clarity of vision and preservance you have is that of a monk. Even the sound silence is golden in your videos. Hope to bump into you someday in Himalayas. Happy travels and happy Life. I too travel Solo. Been to Kinner Kailash and many treks in Great Himalayan National Park alone. Go to GHNP, it does have some great trails. I don't have active Instagram account or any social account but can upload photos of my travels if that would work. Currently have quechua -3 degree celcius tent, having a -18 would be great.. Would I actually be able to experience remoteness like you is hard to say :) Would love to overcome fear and self doubt like you.
Every time when I watch your new video I got some kind of relief and feel more confident and... Don't have words to express my feelings... I always share it with my friends... And when we meet, we talk about you and the way you survive in those conditions.. Hats off to you bro Himachal always loves and respect you... 😊😊😊😊
The most genuine guy you'll ever see! Specially the end part where he only wants it to reach the person who could really use it ♥️ You're most precious person and deserve all the respect and love in the world ♥️
I just play your videos in loop to hear ur voice and I work in tandem...so soothing. All videos I have completed watching, so it's just repeating till my last breath. If in case KZread is down, keep videos of yours in a new medium where we can access for lifetime
Good stuff by reviewing gears, beneficial to all. Looking forward for more. Congrats on reaching a 1m subscribers.
I love your channel so much sir. The way you present the nature with the melodious background music is really awesome. I even recommended lot of my friends to follow your channel. Please keep up the work you are doing. Your content makes me calm as well. I feel very peaceful watching your videos. And expect someday, I'll also start travelling like you. Thank you so much for your content. Wish you all the best.
A very well made video. The style is so honest and upright.👍🏻
Thanks for taking time to share this and your vast knowledge and experience of hiking. Your honesty and humbleness definitely stands out and hats off this across your videos 👍 Am sure your will pass the tent to someone who deserves this and it will continue to see its days out in the hills 👍
Your videos always feel like i am watching some nat geo or discover channel, so good to see someone is following is passion. Hat's off to you sir...
An informative one, somebody who doesn’t know anything about tents can also understand it so well, may be you can make a video (while being stuck at home) on - necessary stuff/ things you take along on your long hikes. Any ways good going, good luck 🙂.
Thanks for creating such wonderful videos and content. Really like the calmness with which you speak and act, and the quality of you timelapse and videos is wonderful. Your videos are so beautiful that many people might try following your footsteps, please do create a video about the dangers involved in solo camping and how new campers can protect themselves from extreme weather and wild animals. Looking forward to more beautiful videos and timelapse from you.
Not a single dislike till now at 6.5k... speaks alot about your positive attitude and engagement with us.
It has always been a pleasure to been a part of your experience. Thanks for your guidance and commitment.
Good thing is he never asks to subscribe and share his content.he is genuine and passionate towards what he does unlike most you tubers who creates content for money.

You are the inspiration for us to visit Hanley. While we were strolling alongside of Hanley river, we could recollect how you stayed there in your green bivy tent. Would love to treasure that with us forever...
So happy to see this video come out sir. I am as excited for your lockdown content as I used to be for your traveling videos. Its nice to meet the man behind all the action. Needless to say you are very handsome sir. I already follow you on Instagram since ages and I won't text you there because I am not a hiker or a camper. Infact i have never done camping alone. I would have loved to have your tent just because it is romanticized in my mind as it has seen so much more life than me. I would have loved to have a small part of your journey but I will travel, hike and camp enough and I will wait for another giveaway of yours maybe 3-4 years down the line just to have a tent used by INDIA IN MOTION!! Take care sir, always always praying for your good health and happiness.
Sir i am chiranjeev Sharma (20yrs) from jabalpur (m.p.) i am a student of law from National law university, jabalpur I have been following your KZread channel for a very long time I shall give you the credit to teach me that inner peace can only be attained by going into the lap of nature. And it is you because of whom i am able to gather some courage to go on solo trips to the complete wilderness your videos are way more helpful for us than the agency guided tours which is completely commercialized Though being a student i am not able to go on trips regularly but, whenever i feel like going to nature, i simply do a 15-20 km to the surrounding woods of my city I look forward to go to madhmaheswar (32km roundtrip trek in uttrakhand) for week long camping trip for which I also have been saving money for sleeping bag and a tent from my pocket money and also by doing a small part time internship Recently i watched your video on tent giveaway, i would be really obliged i am be the chosen one, It would be more than a blessing for me to use the tent, which is used by one of my idol. I remember watching your ladakh snowfall video 3yr ago from my suggestion, and my instantaneous reaction was like "yrrrrrrr kina awesome hai yeh banda" kash me bhi ese jaa pata" Although i had realized at a very young age that nature attracts me more than any other thing in this world. Going to amarnath at the age of 6 was may be the first time me witnessing beauty of mountains and that way the point which made me realize my love to trees, river mountain etc. I love sitting in the banks of Narmada and listening to the sound water for hours, A also feel the tent giveaway would help to life that life that you promote. Even if it is not me, still I'll be your fan alway. Apart from tent I will still feel blessed to have a reply from you . Yours lovingly -Chiranjeev Sharma
Wow You have more Tents so excited. Thanks
I like the frame and colour effects in this video. It looks very simple and feels very creative.
Thanks a lot man. I can feel the effort you had put into research of tents and bags❤️ thanks a lot...

I have the quechua tent 2 person one.....works good..good equipment bhi shok hi h ....i know the feeling of buying these things by doing such research...i have diff feeling for them...cheers to you sir
You have addressed the 'makaan' first, but videos on 'roti' - what you need to manage food, and 'kapda' - what clothes you need to manage the cold, could be ideas for your future episodes. And you have answered this off and on, but specific episodes on your shooting gear and editing gear would also be helpful.
Bro. You are the best Indian nature vlogger. Why I say this is because of your calm demeanour and soothing voice.

Hi Sir, thank you for the knowledge. I really didn’t know the difference between all the tents. I thought you should know this ☺️ because of you I started camping from last year. I was on Ladakh solo trip last October for 2 months and I came back in December. I use a decathlon Arpenaz 2, this is 2 seater Dome tent I really like it and yes you are absolutely right dome tent with 2 poles are not so stable. Thanks to you i know now that there are 3 pole tents as well for stability. Thank you Sir for making all these videos. I really appreciate what you are doing. Keep it up. Take care.

You have given very precious information about the 3 types of tents, thank you. It is your sheer grit that saw you through in that claustrophobic tent and that too for three long years, hats off for you. 2. The video is very interesting and the 20 minutes ended like in 5 minutes. In addition to enlightening us about various hiking equipment and apparel, do and don'ts while hiking in different elevations and different seasons, I request you to Please also narrate some interesting experiences/stories from your trips in the mountains along with stills or footage of the same. I don't want to compare but if I have to, I have found you much above the one's most talked about in view of the constraints we face. Lastly I recommend that you launch some your own merchandise like caps, trees, sling bags and key chains attached to carabiners. God bless you always 👍👍

The bivy is claustrophobic only during bad weather. Otherwise it is actually more liberating as it makes you spend as much time outside as possible before turning in for the night. I lose that with my other more 'comfortable' tents. Yes, I plan on narrating some travel experiences during this lockdown. Not sure how interesting they will be but I will try a couple and see how it goes. Your last point is very interesting. I don't want to do India in Motion merchandise, but I was just talking with my friend about how it will be a good idea to handpick some speciality hiking gear from the the likes of AliExpress test it and sell it here. But it will take focus away from my main goal which is filmmaking, so I don't think I will do it.

Thank you so much, valuable information! Keep it going 👍
Always enjoy your videos, offering sensible and practical advice without hype. I looked at an ultralight tent for solo camping but I was put off by the fact they're usually listed as water 'resistant' not 'proof'. I hadn't considered the issue of dust and sand, which gives me another reason to think twice about having one. I too have camped in Ladakh and Spiti, so very familiar with the terrain. As I'm based in the UK I'll not be putting myself forward for the bivvy, but will check it out. I could see me going for all three ultimately, each has their good points. The killer is always keeping the weight down!

I did not mention it in the video, but the ultralight tent I use is made from a fabric called Dyneema/Cuben Fiber. It is just about the most waterproof material you can find. The material is very light weight, 100% waterproof. Very strong tear strength as well, but the gotcha is their abrasion resistance which is quite poor compared to nylon.
Sir, your way to delivering knowledge to hikers is superb. And one of the most important fact about you that is your calmness nature is also very good....keep going sir😊😊😊

I was searching for tents for solo hiking. My search ends with this video. Piramid tent it is for me, atleast for now, as I plan to hike during mostly summers. Thanks for such informative content.
