Another video. Another tough winter ride by the hosts through high elevation areas with good snow. They ride using a 4x4 wheel drive vehicle. It helps on tough and testing roads where snow has melted a bit but at many places solidified to form slippery Ice(Black Ice in many places). They reach Chitkul. It is a village in the Northern Himalayan State of Himachal Pradesh and is the last Border Village, beyond which Chinese territory starts. The views are great and the snow makes the place look a postcard picture place. Image is of a signboard in this place. Video Link :

Ice can be very dangerous and cause acidents.

@jstory07 Yeah - pretty dangerous to drive!! Even the hosts of this channel advice against trying driving on these roads unless ine has got prior experience and adaptability. Especially on narrow and steep roads with snow and hard ice to complement!

We never have icy roads where we live. I'd be very worried driving on those roads.

@JudyEv I would not drive on these roads. Even riding alongside a driver on such roads in freezing temperatures and view of steep cliffs on one side might cause me goosebumps!!
