@@darioebhard1477 don't b hard on yourself, brother..... voyage to such high-altitude, remote places naturally involves lots of challenges & hardship. Take me, 4 example.... being from a Mixed Faith family.....Buddhist-Hindu ancestry, a young man from Kolkata, I TILL DATE cudn't visit more than 3 remote holy sites & monasteries. This Pukhtar Stupa trip has long been a dream 4 me.

[@darioebhard1477]

@@aritromunsi2445 Indeed it does and I admire those that have the endurance to do so. It's not for the faint at heart for sure. I hope you will make your dream come true. I hope to wish to visit too but in a world ruled by pyschopaths, that dream is becoming more and more dim. I traveled 8 wks of the year pre 2020. I think it's finished.

Dear India in motion ....I like your Vedio and everytime I watch it refresh my memories about ladakh visits ......I really learn a lots from the people, culture, knowledge , spirituality of ladakh. I visited there in 2000 that time it awsum, not much tourist, pure natural but recently when I visited there in 2018 I was shocked to see to much pollution and that all due to tourist ....plz request you to give a mssg at end of your Vedio to keep the places clean, respect culture of locals there, don't dip in cars in rivers as it source of drinking water of local there's and also we people have to drink it instead of using much mineral water bottle.
