World’s Most Dangerous Roads | India - Leh-Manali Highway | Free Documentary

World’s Most Dangerous Roads | India - Leh-Manali Highway (2010)
Deadliest Roads - India: • Video
It is a road of mountain passes and India’s access to the roof of the world - the Himalayas. This 475-kilometre long route at the northernmost tip of the Indian subcontinent connects the cities of Manali and Leh at the heart of the Ladakh region. The term “highway” applies quite literally, since the route traverses five of the highest drivable mountain passes in the world - among these the Lohtang La at 3,978 metres above sea level, the Lachulung La at 5,059 metres and the Tanglang La at 5,325 metres. Crossing these passes is a challenge for both vehicle and man. The mountain peaks, still snow-capped even in the depths of summer, wide variety of vegetation and the fantastic and craggy landscape turn any journey into a captivating adventure.

The World's Most Dangerous Roads: India - Leh-Manali Highway A first time release on free documentary. It's a road of mountain passes - India's roof of the world - the Himalayas. The 475 km long route at the northernmost tip of the Indian subcontinent connects the cities of Manali and Leh at the heart of the Ladakh region. The term 'highway' applies quite literally, since the route traverses five of the highest drivable mountain passes in the world - among these the Lohtang La at 3978 meters above sea level (13,000 ft), the Lachulung La at 5,059 meters (16,598 ft) and the Tanglang L at 5,325 meters (17,470 ft) Crossing these passes is a challenge for both man and machine. The mountain peaks, snow-capped all year round, the wide wild variety of vegetation covering a savage and fantastic landscape, making this a breathtaking journey..in more ways than one. Pun intended. We're traveling at some pretty high altitudes here. Enjoy the ride! Available worldwide excl. GST*, Greater China, Poland, Benelux #freedocumentary

I am literally in Manali right now. Travelled here from Leh yesterday. Roads are pathetic. Car got stuck like twice. There are patches of 30-40 kms where there is no road at all, just pointed stones. It was like an adventure. But never go there if youre not skilled and dont travel at night.

[@dblissmn]

@@Abhinav-dm4gc Not sure how Modi is the cause of building the approach roads from 2002 to 2010 and digging the tunnel from 2010 to 2017 when he only became PM in 2014. I'd be a little concerned actually that it took almost four years, under Modi, to get from the tunnel digging being complete to it being open for traffic. While the rest of the timeline isn't all that out of the ordinary by global standards, it's worth pointing out that even the far bigger Channel Tunnel only took 2 1/2 years from breakthrough to opening. Props to the BRO though for having the vision to pursue this in the first place.

I'm from South India and once I went to Himachal Pradesh and that was the best experience I had ever had. The scenery was soo beautiful lush green forest covered with blue transparent water, waterfalls here and there, cold weather with striking sun, majority of the time covered with clouds which makes it even more amazing. Recently I went to Ooty in Southern India And believe it or not that place always has cloudy weather and the background looks almost like a scene from Harry Potter. That's the place where I realized hill stations are far better than beaches.

Watched this amazing documentary from Australia. I am originally from Southern India; but been living overseas for the past two decades.. India is an incredible country as I have covered most of the South. The top most part I ever visited in India is New Delhi.. As time and situation permits I really wanted to explore the North. Thank you very much for the wonderfully created documentary... Liked and subscribed.

These truck drivers get harrased by police because sometimes the owner tell the driver to overload the truck. Then these drivers have to deal with police because of their masters. Also many public who drives don't like them because of their speed and size(roads are narrow).

19:18 In India, this profession is looked down upon whereas if we remove truckers from the economy system we'll run into financial crisis. The Drivers who are hired are paid just meagre wage. They literally take so much of risk to transport goods. Their whole life depends on it. We Indians really need to understand, until or unless we raise the status of the people involved in blue collar jobs we will not be able to compete in terms of economy with countries such as U.S., China etc. The Sikh driver in the video with tears really shook me.

Hello. I'm from Iran, and here truck drivers and mechanics are being looked down to for many decades. It wold be good if truckers go on strike for 2 weeks all over the world, and you will see doctors, lawyers, mayors, businessmen begging for the to return to work

[@apooravsingh1717]

@@behroozkhaleghirad Well this is quite difficult brother. As I said their whole life depends on it and they won't afford two weeks of joblessness. What we really can do is elect the people who really have raw experiences as in choosing your transport minister as someone who really has experience in logistics. Similarly in other departments like education, tourism, finance etc. In third world countries corruption is deeply rooted into the system and the system is "us". We need to change our ways and we need to teach our next generation to respect the people involved in blue collar jobs and maybe elect someone from it.

I will never forget my experience here. I hitched a lorry along the way. It couldnt make the whole trip in a day. In the end, the driver decided to stop and rest for the night. I checked my phone, we were 4000m above sea level. I had having headache from high altitude sickness which went away after a while. That night, i looked out, the sky was clear, it was filled with stars and it was super cold. Just me and other drivers with the presence of nature around us.

I am from Himachal Pradesh, India and I've been through this highway. Back in 2008 i got to travel this as a student in picnic or field trip whatever you wanna call it, the scenic view is just awesome & you feel very puny in front of the huge Himalayas. Your life is at the mercy of these mountains. In 2019 i made a motorcycle trip with my friends & now everything is changed roads, tunnels etc i know its for the good of the people traveling in these roads the truck drivers or other people who have lost lives in these roads & nothing such happens in future. But i might have an unpopular opinion but that adventure is kinda lost now. That latest trip just didn't felt the same as it was back in 2008. If you are reading this comment i would recommend to travel in this highway once in your lifetime. I don't have words to explain but trust me it will be worth it. If you are scared then don't be because infrastructure is completely different now. Just visit it once...... 🏔🏔🏔
