My heart was in my mouth on this virtual tour of one of the world’s most dangerous roads. Surely not for the faint hearted. Wonderful views. Waiting for more.
Excellent off-roading. Wonderful nature. And the beloved Darjeeling city can be seen from afar. You are very lucky to have such beautiful weather. Stay well...
Born and Raised there in those mountains or Hills but watching your video was a whole different experience and felt very nostalgic because I have walked those trails so many times of my years when I was there. Very National Geographic videographic and great narration, Loved it.
My name is SAM as well. Btw after watching this video have become your fan bro! How beautifully you have represented the entire journey. Editing, cinematography, story telling everything is top notch.. good wishes for future videos.
Hats off to you Sunil.....it was no less than a real adventure for me too to watch this video, especially the last 2 kms uphill drive from Bikhubhanjyang. I was just watching on the bonnet constantly till your vehicle reached Sandakphu. This is the most beautiful video that i have watched on Sandakphu till date. No words!! Thanks for sharing this.
Wow, super. Amazing visuals, beautiful frames, improving with each episode. Hats off to you guyz for choosing to drive on such a dangerous stretch of road. Thanks for showing such a wonderful part of our country. Great episode this was.
@@MukeshThakur Thank you 🙏 Sadly private vehicles are not allowed to ply on this route nowadays. Ride the iconic Landrover from Maneybhangyang to Sandakpur…you will love it.
Hats off to your driving skills as well as videography..To get a weather like that at there you need luck & you fully deserved that..brought back memories of my 2021 Sandakphu Phalut trek..Thank you :)
It takes experience to drive through the last lap of the road , but you and your machine did pretty well. Have seen these young boys ride these Land Rover’s with so much ease and whenever the machine gave problem all they did was hammer some parts of the machine and it would start running again..Land Rover’s is truly a monster vechicle ,but your thars not bad either 😁
did you hire any vechiles from the Land rover association ? if "yes" did they pressurised you to do so or you just hired it for your safety ? if "not" how could you managed them ? I've a plan just like you
Hats off to your driving skills, excellent photography and at the same time informative, i mean when to engage the 4X4 H/L during the ascent. Like to know how to get the permission to take my own vehicle.
Private vehicles are not allowed to ply here anymore. I recommend that you hire a Landrover from Manebhanjang and enjoy the drive with an experienced driver.
A wonderful video of what must have been a memorable drive...Have been to this splendid place twice once on a Land Rover during October and once as a trekker during the Rhododendron season and have fond memories of the place. By the way how and from where can I get permission from the forest department to drive my own car to Sandalphu??
Amazing video, but I just wonder is it really that much worth to cross such dangerous roads to reach Sandakphu if the view from Tonglu itself is such beautiful 😍. Is the kanchenjunga view from Sandakphu better than Tonglu? I was just asking this question because I want to travel with my parents, and such pathetic roads to reach Sandakphu can give serious back pain and physical strain 😰
The road ahead of Gairibas is a pain if you are taking your parents along.The road till Tonglu is good nowadays.I feel the views from Sandakpur is better and you can also see Mount Everest from Sandakpur.
I actually felt like I travelled there with you guys watching your video. Hats off to you guys for driving through the narrow treacherous roads in your own car 😅. I would have made a u turn. You made my dream come true through this video. What a lovely place!
I have read somewhere that the land rover association don't allow private vehicles to play between Manebhanjan to Sandakphu,did you faced any problem ?
Yes, private vehicles are not allowed here anymore. My recommendation is that you hire a Landrover from Manebhanjang and enjoy the drive with a local experienced driver.
Beautiful adventure on wheels with stupendous photography with stunning visuals. A great discovery!

Sir could you tell me from which point exactly at sandakphu did u take the stunning picture of darjeeling at 21:22 ??
Hi! This pic was taken from Sherpa Chalet in Sandakphu.
A wonderful video of what must have been a memorable drive...Have been to this splendid place twice once on a Land Rover during October and once as a trekker during the Rhododendron season and have fond memories of the place.
By the way how and from where can I get permission from the forest department to drive my own car to Sandalphu??

@@travellingwithsam8210 - fantastic video. When was your drive, and what permissions/passes did you have to get, from where?
@@travellingwithsam8210 I went in 2020 and private vehicles were not allowed then too. Then how have you gone in 2022?
Amazing video, but I just wonder is it really that much worth to cross such dangerous roads to reach Sandakphu if the view from Tonglu itself is such beautiful 😍.

Anyone can drive a private vehicle to reach sandakphu? I thought only landrovers (with tourist) & army are allowed! 🙁
How do i take my car to sandakphu?
Which month you go to get so clear views of kanchanjunga? Feb/march??
Clear weather days are from last week of Oct to mid Nov as per my experience. I visited in November.
can a 2wd scorpio climb there ?
No, the last climb can only be done by 4X4 vehicles.
🔥🔥😍
🙏
Do they allow private 4x4 vehicles to go till Sandakphu? Any special permit to be obtained?
@@techiebanker No they do not allow private vehicles nowadays .
What was degree value for last 3kms of sandakphu? Is it 30 degree or more?
The best way to describe is that it is very STEEP.
When did you travelled there?
Last year Nov.
Kis month me aisa weather milega?
Generally last week of Oct to second week of Nov.
I have read somewhere that the land rover association don't allow private vehicles to play between Manebhanjan to Sandakphu,did you faced any problem ?
Yes, private vehicles are not allowed here anymore. My recommendation is that you hire a Landrover from
Manebhanjang and enjoy the drive with a local experienced driver.
13:07 isn't 4WD engaged electronically in THAR?
No it is not engaged electronically. You have to do it manually.
@@travellingwithsam8210 achha?
From which location of Sandakpur did you get that Darjeeling town site?
If you face east from Sandakpur you will see Darjeeling provided the weather is clear.
How did you get the permission to drive personal car to Sandakphu
Can I take a thar RWD there? People speak about local associations not allowing 4wd cars as well
No you can’t take RWD vehicles.Not recommended.
