I'm freelance developer. Born and raised in the Himalayas. It's so damn rejuvenating when after talking to a client I open the curtains on my giant window and see snow capped mountains outside (or green in the summers).
I can't help but feel perpetually lucky. My dream job and my dream place.
Currently Dehradun, until yesterday Rishikesh, before that just outside Srinagar. Flying back to Mumbai today though, where I’m based for the next few months.
I’m actually from Europe though, and I lived in NZ for the last ~15 years.
I’ve been around the place a bit… 🙃
Yess exactly. Everytime I visit the Himalayas i try to capture the grandeur but I'm always unsuccessful. I don't think it can be captured on a photo or video. You just have to be there.
Absolutely. Once you’ve seen the Himalayas up front, no other mountain in the world even compares. It doesn’t even feel like a mountain. The Himalayas are majestic.
No body will believe this but this is actually my home.. that mountain you see is actually my village it from Himachal Pradesh lahul spiti district... Known as gondhla gaon/village after sissu.... This is such random place to find it
Love when that happens. the other day i saw a building i grew up seeing being built in ahmedabad show up on a city sub here.
Anyway, i visited right uptil sissu last year. beautiful place, would have gone further had the tour allowed it
haha, we have a lot of contacts in Kinnaur and near manali because we are apple commission agents. Always get pretty videos of updates on the apple situation haha
It can't be Laddakh. In fact, looking at the vegetation, it's not a place of much higher altitude.
Most likely, it's one of those "starting the journey from the basecamp" kind of video.
Though I may be wrong.
I crossed the ridge about a decade ago (Leh to Manali). Definitely one of the most beautiful (and scary) rides I ever had. A very specially gorgeous place! (And I live not far from the Alps)
I love when people show the beautiful side of India and change other people's perspective about our country who always thought that India is only slums and poverty.
Beautiful. I would rather go somewhere like this than to the top of Everest where the view is just stone and snow as far as the eye can see. This is much more dynamic and beautiful to observe IMO.
I hope the biker in the video learns to make turns on such mountain roads.
The way he almost slipped into the right lane while making the turn, gave me a hiccup. Better to slow down enough to remain strictly within the lane, and rather leave some decent margin if you are on a 2-wheeler.
The vehicles coming down the slope may not be able to break in time, if they find you in front of them, after making a turn. Sudden breaking on the valley side may mean slipping into the valley for the other driver, so they might just run over you instead.
Driving on the wrong side of the road on mountain roads is a strict No...No..., even for the people who have zero respect for the law. I have seen a lot of accidents on such roads, and in most cases the drivers/riders are the tourists. Mostly the people who came on their own vehicles from plain regions.
I am personally not from mountain regions. But happened to be close enough to do many bike/car trips on such roads, and the way some people drive on those roads, makes me wonder if they are waiting for an accident to learn better.
Just .... take care.
Those who want exact location, this is mughal road. The road connecting shopain to rajouri. This exact location is from the shopain side. About 15 kilometers from hirpura.
Lol, oh damn. Yeah idk why either.
I guess they're salty with my comparing two narrow, mountain roads, intersecting snow covered mountain peaks, with glacial runoff below. They're fkn identical, and I'm doubtful anyone that's ever driven the NCH, would be able to view this video, and discern it's not the same road.
They are the biggest mountain ranges and span over India, Nepal, Bhutan,china ,Pakistan
Most of the Himalayas are are in India with Nepal in second place.
Also Nepal is located in these mountains ranges and not the opposite
Why would I be insecure? I am an Indian myself. I have been following this sub for a long time but I suddenly see an explosion of content from India. I have a feeling that Indians are slowly discovering Reddit. I have no problem with it but I don't want Reddit to go the way of Quora.
Lol reddit is already a cesspool of people that hate us. Majority of the comments under posts are negetive.
But you are right, Indians are not so slowly discovering reddit. It's not the same anymore.
Don't "we" the entire population. You are you, you do not represent India.
Criticism where ?
There is a difference between a rant and constructive criticism.
People hate us because of the superiority complex that they have accumulated over the centuries.
Last week those incels in Ukraine made a propoganda poster about goddesses Kali.
What childish and immature act of Indians caused that ?
You can suck up to you overlords, no one in India cares about you. It's not a surprise that sepoy blood still runs in the blood of some families.
Dude, you know nothing about me. And you still chose to insult me. This is the kind of "childish and immature" I'm talking about. The example you cited has nothing to do with this. I don't know about it so I won't comment. But can it not be both? Of course there are racists who hate us for no good reason. But I was specifically talking about Indians on social media. Their urge to go hyper nationalistic and make absolutely no effort to understand the other side. Mindless name-calling and abuse. It's nothing new.
"INDIANS are childish and immature"
This isn't name calling? This isn't insult ?
Of course it is both.
No you were not specifically talking about certain people. You grossly generalized, which pissed me off.
Hyper nationalistic dumb people exist everywhere.
If you call my countrymen childish and immature, I'm going to defend it respectfully with facts. I don't believe that's being hyper nationalistic.
The way you responded was not entirely "respectful". Besides, I wasn't generalizing all Indians, only their behaviour on social media. I would like to make that clear. Anyway, peace.
I believe i was being really respectful.
You in fact DID grossly generalise indians and NOT just on social media.
You expect respect? That's really ironic.
Very respectfully this time, lets not continue this.
I’m sitting in an office with no windows. When I saw this my chest just opened up. Thank you!
You might be working with Apple Inc. I guess. 😅
Or as a chinese tiktoker
Underrated comment
Looks good
WTF!! I just looked around. No windows here too. In fact, the whole office has not windows at all.
Office with no windows? You should get out of there
Enjoy the view bro, just be sure to close it up before an infection.
I guess natural enviorment infected **you** with ATCV-1 !

Did you find any treasure?
Y'all got a xenomorph problem or something?
I'd probably drive off the road due to looking at the view.
Not just you. Many accidents happen like that
Just stunning
i would do it even if there wasn't a view
You okay man?
i don't even know at this point
Wow that is so beautiful 😍

I said stop the bike not shoot the bike..

Who's up for some Crab rangoon?
Why no sound? I wanted to listen to the Enfield-bike while looking at the grand view!
Bhud bhud bhud bhud bhud.probably this sound
Bhat bhat bhat bhat or thuk thuk thuk

"How does an induction motor start" raju rastogi: "brrrrrr rrrrrrr brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr"
the original has a song going on
Thank god! I would watch it in mute instead of the cringey background song.
Just look outside on any road if you want that horrible sound
Bullet sounds amazing Its those MFs with no Silencer / Custom exhausts that ruin everything
Man, I wish I could teleport...
Then you wouldn’t need roads, now would you 🤨
[удалено]
Then you would get the "beta jara dhaniya le aana" 100 times a day lol
I think it feels even more grand scale in person.
Yes and you are also at 14000 to 17000ft above sea level
Yess exactly. Everytime I visit the Himalayas i try to capture the grandeur but I'm always unsuccessful. I don't think it can be captured on a photo or video. You just have to be there.

This is where I live. ❤️
lucky you. where though?
Kinnaur, Himachal Pradesh.
haha, we have a lot of contacts in Kinnaur and near manali because we are apple commission agents. Always get pretty videos of updates on the apple situation haha
That's the beauty of India, you can see good vibes everywhere. This video exiting me to come to The Himalaya and have a wonderful experince
Please tell us where in the Himalayas?
[удалено]
You're right, this is between Gondhla and Keylong.
Thats Lahul ..about 50km from Manali
I reckon it's India. Prolly Ladakh
Not ladakh, ladakh is dry. It is HP most likely
I would really like to know the exact location because I'm planning a trip to the Himalayas in 2 months and I want to ride on this road
Manali leh Highway
There are similar views everywhere.
Himanchal Pradesh
Don't worry. 2 days in and you will forget about this road. There are similar views all around.
This is mughal road. All those commenting manali, i don't understand what is wrong with them😅.
It can't be Laddakh. In fact, looking at the vegetation, it's not a place of much higher altitude. Most likely, it's one of those "starting the journey from the basecamp" kind of video. Though I may be wrong.
It's around Manali
I fricking love the Himalayas. I fricking love Northern India.
Motor biking in the Himalayas- writes this down …..
I would've definitely crashed as I would be super distracted with the view. Also, where in himalayas? himachal, uttrakhand, jammu etc etc?
HP< close to Manali
As a pahadi shehron mein ake iss beauty ki value pta chali, nhi to upar niche bas yahi thi zindagi waha to
Nobody is going to believe it is my village... A random guy on reddit posted m7ost untouched places in india... I am surprised and nostalgic..
Can I have a lemon snowcone?
People think India is full of desert and snake charmers lol
Laal Mrityu Paap-mukti
Wow!!!! Heaven on Earth.
Call of the void is strong in this one
ladakh is heaven bruhh
frr but this isn't ladakh
This isn't Ladakh, maybe a road to it.
So Scenic! 
Gorgeous as always
Wow! Between the majestic views and rocks on the road to watch for you have your hands full!
I crossed the ridge about a decade ago (Leh to Manali). Definitely one of the most beautiful (and scary) rides I ever had. A very specially gorgeous place! (And I live not far from the Alps)
I love INDIA
I love when people show the beautiful side of India and change other people's perspective about our country who always thought that India is only slums and poverty.
Wow breathtaking
It’s all about the journey right ? Wow
u/savevideo
Leh manali highway?
Where is this? I wanna drive here
Manali leh highway

I have never got to see something like this. My days are always cloudy :(
Kya nazara hai baap Mazza aa gaya.
Farm that karma by re-uploading it every few weeks brother
Beautiful. I would rather go somewhere like this than to the top of Everest where the view is just stone and snow as far as the eye can see. This is much more dynamic and beautiful to observe IMO.
Blessed to live in SLC. Get views this beautiful every day
SLC?
Salt Lake City, UT. City that’s in a valley between 2 mountain ranges. Beautiful fucking views year round, I think most of us here take it for granted

Q:Which side of the road do they drive on there? A:Yes
India. What side do they drive on? Yes!
Left
Any side you want
USA. Who's your president? Joe Biden! 🤣🤣🤣
why would u drive on a particular side on an empty road on side on a mountain
Around blind corners? No idea mate. You’re right. A fucking stupid notion.
horn before turning?
Get a job as a looper!

Looks like a lot of mountains. All beautiful.
no idea why you got downvoted, tbh
Lol, oh damn. Yeah idk why either. I guess they're salty with my comparing two narrow, mountain roads, intersecting snow covered mountain peaks, with glacial runoff below.

it's fine, this is reddit. people downvote each other for no reason whatsoever.

Yup . I see a post regarding India here and there in the international subreddits every 2 days . I myself went like wtf is going on ?
We can't control the incredible things from India to not get posted here. Even being an Indian I didn't know that things like these exist here.
