We Nearly Died in India! (Ep. 3: Chattergala Pass) | Discovering Jammu

Danger struck as we rode through a remote part of India where the roads were under construction. Would you dare to ride these roads?
After leaving Sarthal meadow in the stunning Jammu region of the Jammu & Kashmir union territory, we stumbled upon some horrendous roads before we climbed Chattergala Pass and descended to the stunning hill station of Bhaderwah. It was a day of extreme highs and lows, all captured on camera!

Where was the toughest place you travelled to? In the next episode, we visit a spectacular hill station-you won't believe it kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqPYkIeif7x6i6M The previous episode was another thrilling ride too kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4LKlHStiNd6bck

🧜🏻‍♂️Pretty sik hill climb, all while boulders roll down the hill toward you ❣️ Stay safe guys, you'll sleep well 💚💜 love + light beautiful ones xx 🌻

[@Balidan2412]

it makes me sad how Mountain areas of Jammu were totally ignored by the previous state govts... all the money and infra went to Kashmir valley only... these Jammu areas too could've been world class tourist spots.. but the Kashmiri leaders chose not to develop them... i've had hopes from this UT.. and yes this govt is doing some actual work in Jammu... roads and infra have been invested in hugely...

[@Mani-fx8pb]

Not only Kashmiri but Congress leadership as well..

[@mcrand7887]

And they complained of Chinese infrastructure development along the Chinese side of the border. 😂

[@ArunSharma-nt7oy]

On the behalf of all the jammu people, I'd like to thank you for showcasing the beauty of Jammu. It was an epic adventure ride, those mountains, waterfalls, water crossings, food, lake, weather, everything was so beautiful. Thank you Karl. ❤️ Really looking forward to explore more unexplored hidden treasures from jammu with you.

[@suzy2anyone]

Yes it's a gorgeous countryside 💚💜

[@parva777]

Thank You Karl : You made me come back to India by the screen, I was in the Himalayas... 42 Years ago ! Whana come back now ! Jaï Ganesh !

[@KarlRock]

Wow. It must've been even better 42 years back! Visit India soon.

[@thungchibemoezung7332]

When you said that,' it's your day you survived.' that showed how positive a person you are👍

[@motoxrishabh]

That skull on my face 😂 haha

[@KarlRock]

Stay safe bhai ❤️ What an adventure it was!

[@pankajkhokhar1294]

These passes--Chattergala, Padri, Seoj--were the historical inlets into the Bhadarwah Valley. The mountainous areas of Jammu region were ignored and kept undeveloped for decades by the Kashmir-centric state governments. Glad a proper road is *finally* built now, though it still needs a tunnel under the pass.

[@nenawells3916]

My heart was in my mouth when I saw that rock rolling down the hill. That was a mighty boulder. Thank God you ran when you did. So glad you're ok. I was on the edge of my seat watching this. Lots of danger involved but you and your friends completed the ride. Kudos you all of you.

[@pamelapati1219]

Karl! OMG what a harrowing leg of the trip. So glad you guys made it!

[@stephaniehumphries]

What a awesome premiere Karl this was terrifying but good lol 👍🏽

[@sadammalik4445]

Thnx alot for exploring our hidden beautiful Sarthal Valley . Will meet u next time when u will be there .

[@storytimewithunclekumaran5004]

You needed riding boots and different bikes for that terrain...... Seems like those bikes had street tires .

[@housesforsale6892]

bikes look good but are rubbish. and yeah need proper equip

[@pratyushpandey4816]

I had a terrible day at work with tougher days coming. Watching this took me to a very calm and soothing place. Thank you for that Karl. You dint have to do this. I like to think you did it for us... for me. Wish to cross paths with you just to shake hands and tell you face to face what these videos mean to me as im sure to many of us. God bless you and your family. Also - be careful and safe - please. Thank you, Pratyush

[@JellyBeansMystreyMachine]

The people there seem so kind and helpful.

[@styrene4069]

This series made it pretty clear that how well hidden the gems of India are

[@AshJayRocky]

Nice place Karl !!! Be careful when you ride and so does your friends too . Happy Riding !!! 😊 Place is beautiful and felt like heaven when I saw your video ..

[@AmericansinIndia]

Great video Karl you have inspired me to create our own content and actually to move here to India because of your high quality content. Those roads look very dangerous, be careful and continue to produce great content!!! I don't think I would ever take that road hahaha

[@dr.sachidulalchanda3134]

Currently government of India is heavily spending money on physical infrastucture and road connectivity to the most remote destinations in India edpecially near all international frontier towns and villages and thanks to Border road organization under indian armed forces who are constructing road network on the himalayan mountain region of india which are prone to frequent natural catastrophe like landslides and avalanche. Wait for another couple of years, this road would be fully operationalized into all weather expressway.

[@Vicki_Benji]

OMG, that scared me!! 😳

[@kungmarkatta2000]

I have want to go to India for a long time. Even more after seeing this, so beautiful!

[@tosifiqbal26]

Thank u Karl Sir for exploring my homeland which is unexplored adventure amidst the ravishing, picturesque and lofty mountains. U have visited here last year and I think u should visit once again as this time the road widening work is almost at its completion stage. Lots of love from my side❤.

Deceptively tough terrain.. I'd definitely have punched it a bit harder through a few more times.. Need more speed to avoid traction as much as possible. Fun vid though :) Glad you're ok!

Hi Karl, if you remember I met you there at the rest house in Bhaderwah in the evening. We had a small chat with you and also took pictures with you. Best wishes.😊

Funny how people have so many assumptions about places, many people don't know anything about Jammu, thanks for showcasing a lesser known side of Jammu, and #DograRocks

Visited bhaderwah last month , it was snow all over at guldanda

[@helenswan705]

Its wonderful to see, and luckily that's all I have to do. sure I miss the air, the people, the wild flowers. But I could not sustain 5 minutes of those roads, nope, not me.

[@atulmalhotra2303]

I hope the Basohli - Bani - Bhaderwah road gets completed in 2024, coz we are planning the trip next year. One more thing I must add here. Have you ever thought of a third road alignment into Bhaderwah ? Theres a stunning 135 km long road that connects Bhaderwah to Chamba. Hope you can do that journey as well.

[@KarlRock]

I heard that the road is completed now. Have a great trip!

[@atulmalhotra2303]

@@KarlRockThanx Karl. Do some research about Chamba - Salooni - Langhera - Padhri Jot - Bhaderwah road as well. Could be ideal for your next adventure. Ask Arun about it. Best of Luck. Safe adventures !

Hey karl don't miss the seoz dhar in bhaderwah

Karl, me and mom watch your videos regularly and while we were watching this one, she was constantly wanting to scold you for risking your safety like this. We’v been very concerned. Please don’t take risks even though the views are breathtaking.

[@MandeepSingh-hn4jd]

karl i would like to ask you, how old 350 RE perform on this steep offroad, people mock it for low powered bike.. what is your observation compare with himlayan?

[@TheRealMacsBlack]

Hi Karl, is it possible, that I've seen you in Vienna yesterday?

[@jamoon469]

very beautiful

[@BataraKado]

ex pro motorbike rider here... when going up hills on a bike hold the handle bars tight, and dont be afraid to run the throttle harder then normal, bikes are meant to be used and abused... aswell as know your heights of your hills your climbing, if it looks too steep, try find another part of the same hill that isnt as steep. and we all make mistakes, the only way to learn is to push the bike and yourself to the limits.

[@notinmyUSMC]

Gotta say, I was skeptical about the Royal Enfield brand. But I can't imagine a more grueling endurance test than your road trip which has proved that those bikes are bullet proof. They should put you and Arun on their marketing materials! 😄

[@mayalesovsky2764]

Thank the gods for paved roads

They were quite a relief!

Advance reconnaissance in the name of adventure tourism, eh. Interesting, but hardly new. Same thing happened in the start of the 20th century with European adventurers flocking to the Himalayas and Karakorams.

[@bluepurplepink]

These bikes even though they are offroad bikes, are not made for Jammu. Maybe something crazy like BMW offroad bike with mud terrain tyres may work. Also the rock falling part was actually a close call, reminded me of the taiwan earthquake landslide

The road conditions are so bad, but they don't seem to be bad for the type of bikes you are on. Something is seriously wrong with these bikes. Is it the tires or the engine torque?

Bro now this road is full complete
