And now we've got a landslide
and those cars got stuck in the mud. The mud is just too deep.
This gypsy's going to get past though. So we're nearly
at Leh. We just need to get over here.
And this has been submerged in mud.
So the mud came all the way from up here.
Just slid all the way down.
Landslides like these aren't
uncommon in the hills and in the...
in the higher regions of India. They happen.
It's just a miracle that no one was caught in that landslide.
And that... you know, no one was at school when
the mud hit the school that you saw just below there.
We're going to cross the mud. Now we're just deflating the tyres a bit
so we get a bit more grip when we go across. Gaurav: We might get stuck
because this is slush and this is 2-wheel-drive. I'll try my best.
Karl: Gaurav, what? What?
Gaurav: Don't point your camera at me. It's sludge bro!
Karl: It's all good bro. You got it. You got it!
Gaurav: Mm... it's easy! Karl: Gaurav, nice!
Gaurav: Don't bog down. Don't bog down.
Go easy...yes..
Nice...good car! Karl: You can't feel this on the
camera but this just...
this feels insanely unsafe.
They went this way right?
Karl: Dunno. Gaurav: Ah, yes. There are tyre tracks here.
Ok, go slow.
Oh don't get stuck (x3) Uhhh... yes!!
Karl: Yeah boi!! Slide us down.
Slide us down. It literally feels like the car is just sliding.
Like...I don't think you have any control man! I think you're just pressing the accelerator.
Gaurav: Yeah, that's how you control the car off-road.
Karl: It's all that's happening. We're just sliding.
Gaurav: Yup. Karl: Insane! There's just mud coming up at
the back of the tyre and everything.
We passed the first landslide. Now there's one more landslide we gotta get past down.
Karl: Gaurav made it... Gaurav: Two more. Karl: Gaurav got us through. Two more?
Oh my god! Gaurav: Two more!
Karl: Like... When we were going down that first one... It just felt like we were sliding and we
had no control of the car. Gaurav: Yeah Karl: It was thicker than I thought.
Gaurav: Yup Karl: The mud..
It's tons of mud. Gaurav: And this one is scarier.
Karl: The original road is to the right here but we're going to take a left
and go around this road.
We gotta...we gotta get up here
Karl: We broke the gimbal. Yeah! Karl: Na, it's not broken.
Gimbal's broken my friends. Gaurav: Oh Himalayan's stuck!
Gaurav: I don't want to be stuck (x2)
Karl: We're making it.
My gimbal hates me.
Gimbal's back in action...
...and so is Gaurav. Gaurav: Yeah. Karl: Don't ******* stop. Let's go (x2)
Gaurav: Yeah
Karl: Right (x4). Woooo!
Holy ****, that was close!
Oh there's more, oh my god! Gaurav: This one's stuck
Let's not get stuck. Karl: Woah! Now through go. Power through bro.
Beautiful!
It's happening. It's happening bro.
Karl: Ohho, we're so close. We're so close! Gaurav: We've done it!
Karl: That was ******** insane. Gaurav: A 2-wheel-drive automatic man!
Gaurav: This guy can get you to Leh. And back. Karl: Oh my god!
That was too much man! Gaurav: Why is everybody stopping?
There is another one? Oh, there's another one.
Karl: Okay so there is one more. And this is more of a rock slide
than a landslide. It's crazy. It's like these all got triggered
at the same time from one massive mudslide or
landslide and it all just came down once
in three different locations. This location is quite far away.
It's like about a km from the last one.
How beautiful is Jammu and Kashmir though? You can see all the army guys here.
They're doing all the work to clear it.
And to make sure the traffic's flowing and already, I've seem them pulling cars
out of the mud as well. So yeah, good on the army.
In India, you just got to get on with it.
There's no closing the road. It's like...
We're just gonna make it happen somehow.
And it somehow happens. Thanks to the Army, I guess.
Hey!! What's up?
Hi! How are you?
Huh! Crazy people. Forgot to mention. I have a
very sick girl in the back here.
We have to get through this mudslide for her. Gaurav: Yes.
It's a matter of life and death and we have to go through.
Karl: Yeah. So we need to get her to the hospital. Actually, we were going
right now because she was just going like ****
Karl: Who's beeping? People get so impatient here.
These people don't like to wait man! What the hell is their problem?
Let the bikes hit across and then we're gonna go.
Everyone's in a god damn rush.
Karl: Ah, someone else pushing in.
Oh no!
Karl: You got it bro. You got it.
Move your...these people
on the road.
We can't really stop.
Talk about stressful.
Hey! We made it.
Because of the army is probably why we were able to go through that
so quickly. If we were in another part of India where there was a landslide
and the Army weren't there, it might have taken a bit longer. These guys are really
active and onto it and... yeah always ready to help it seems.
Gaurav: Oh, there's another one.
Karl: Oh, don't tell me!
Maybe someone just got stuck or something.
This video's never gonna end.
So right now I'm gonna show you the Indian Army in action fixing this.
It looks like they're making an alternative route around
this massive puddle here. You've got locals that are helping
the Army as well. It's pretty cool.
This is the mud site they're creating a diversion around for us.
Like a pro!
Okay time to get out of here. I nearly got those guys in trouble actually.
Their commander asked them if they were taking a selfie.
But no. I was just showing them how my gimbal worked
and how my camera works, that's all. This is second part of the problem.
You've got the mud,
then you gotta get across to this gorge which has opened up here.
Who knows if that's possible or not in our car.
Gaurav seems to think so. The farmer, if you can see, is
standing next to the guy in the blue shirt and he's yelling
at the Army, "you're destroying my crops."
Gaurav: Yeah, we read your comment. Karl: Wow, awesome.
Oh really?
Oh ****
So we're not going to Leh?
Oh, okay, good.
These are the locals who are helping the Army to clear
the road so we can get across this. And actually
the guy in the black shirt, this is Sonam and he's one of my...
There he is.
He's one of my subscribers who actually commented and told me to come to
Ladakh and here I am. Hey Sonam!
Say hello to everybody. Sonam: Hello World.
Awesome.
Yeah, we are stuck.
Army Man: Please.
Okay so I finally got shut down from filming there.
And so what was happening with the farmer was they knocked down his fence to let everyone go through
and it wrecked some of his barley crops. So of course he...
he was understandably very upset by that.
You know these farmers they live on the poverty line completely.
And so I can really feel for him. I didn't even think
about that when they were knocking the wall down to
build a road
But for him, his crops are life and death and
it all matters, you know, so... it's really sad but
he will get compensation so it will be okay.
And then I finally got shut down from filming. Yeah, the Army told me, you know
that's enough. So...
You know, that's fine. I don't know why exactly but because I was showing you their good work.
But maybe it's because of the farmer and
it's just not a good, it's not a nice scene. What's happening right now
is a bunch of cars are getting stuck and it's getting really dark.
Everytime a car gets stuck, they just tow it out.
Everybody who's in a two wheel drive is sleeping in their car
the night here. We're in a two wheel drive but we have an
emergency in the back here. We have to get her to a hospital.
So... You know, we gotta get across somehow. Gaurav is
organizing a bunch of people to help us push the car across
if the car gets stuck.
Here we go! Hold on.
You got it brah, you got it! Whoa gimbal's got it again
Gaurav: Come on (x3). Let's go (x3).
Yeah (x5).
Karl: Yeah boy!
Last night, on the way back to Leh, there were boulders all over the road,
power lines on the road and mud all over the road and...
when I got home, I was so
tired that I actually locked Gaurav out of our room by mistake
and he was banging on the door but I just couldn't hear him because I was so knocked down.
Yeah so he had to go sleep in another room last night. I felt really
bad but, oops!
This road now that has been cleared and the mud's gone and
that's the farmer's paddock there
which someone has fixed up his
fence. The crop is...the crop is still screwed.
And they just moved all this mud to the
side of the road here.
