Hey man :) which parts of the trail did you walk?
Absolutely it's like a jail I also experienced the same thing. Just like a day care center for 18+ people.
Where to bang in this hotel? 😂😂
Very impressive! May the force be with you!!
did you book the ticket online ? and if you did when you enter the station do you show the e receipt?
Why would you put yourself through a second-class journey!!! :(
U will get loose motions..what will u do.
But how to clean gob after passing stool.
You may try booking through apps like IRTC, confirmticket. And it's not that hard to get the ticket, if you are looking for very very cheap tickets you might not get it but if you look for trains like vandebharath or even 3AC, 2AC classes in any trains will be available for you.
they were attempting to sell u the tcket through tourist quota reserved only for foreign tourist or nri.(which is cheap and gives u a confirmed seat - for ur convenience because without seat is worse they think ) which most of the stations wont even mentione because though its cheap and u get a confirmed seat its bit of an extra work for station workers. but not chennai lol they are non corruptable as they could be. just a heads up get a sim card from station with ur passport. once u have it u can do it online u need indian phone number. u can also book a tourist erail pass for an entire month. bit pricy but definetly cheaper that europass.
Better you than me. Good Luck, Rick
Brother book tickets online 😊
"Interesting" is not the word I would use to describe that trip! Do they have more expensive and nicer trains for people willing to pay more?
yes few 20000 - 30000 usd per seat is most expensive usually 100-300 inr no confirmed seat but can travel general tier 700 - 1000 inr per seat which u can sleep on hawkers allowed no ac (he travelled on this one ) 3 times thae amount 3 tier ac air con seat and no hawkers allowed (1700-4000 inr) double this ammount 2 nd tier then 1st tier slightly more than 2nd tier. most full are 3rd tier ac legally every train has to have coach of 1st two types to operate. train is for everybody. also train ticket collectors can fine u but cant deboard u unless u are a nuisance. but just for not having ticket they cant from 1st two types of coaches. high court legally forbade them to not use class with the types of coaches but rather use tier. and count of just the indian railway police is more than uk's entire military count. their approach time is 30 minutes or somestimes less they boast about it. personally tested it is. but u have to be technically savvy to register complaint online.
Short answer is yes 😅 @bhootpurvmanusya gave an awesome detailed answer
@@bhootpurvmanusya Thanks for the details! I would go for the AC and something less cramped than the budget minded Meanderthal. What really impresses me are the European railways.
@@SpinelessCougar 180 euro for a one way ticket is premium even if ur living in europe. in india u cant have that get away with it.
Definitely different than Japan…😂
It's about the journey, not the destination. Or something like that.
You're posting interesting videos. How long has it been since you were on the AT? Have fun. Good Luck, Rick
Thanks Rick! ☺️ It's really cool to read your comments 4 years after I started posting from the AT. I hiked the AT in 2020 and again in 2021 - I'll never forgot that experience. ❤️AT
@@mikethemeanderthal3826 I was so frustrated that I couldn't explain to you and Indy how to use the the can opener on the Swiss Army Knife. How is Indy? Good Luck, Rick
Sixty degrees here. Not expected to get above eighty for at least a week.
Sounds lovely! ❄️
Why does the place make me think that Klaus Schwab would love the conformity? You and I have the same vibe about it. Good Luck, Rick
Is it "Song Bird?" Why didn't you regale us with some karaoke? Don't forget to make a report video of your Ayahuasca experience. Did you see the green lady? Machine elves? The cosmic serpent? My mother? She is into everyone's business.
Hahaha. "Song Bird" you are close. "SingingHawk" my trail name 😜 But yeah, i definitely sang some karaoke, wasn't recorded sadly! Ayeyaahhh, shoulda had tht in there!
So you didn't get kidnapped by mountain bandits like I thought! So.... you sleep in a room with 100 other people and you are the only on not snoring? I think I would go crazy in there. So you are still just wandering around India or are you still monastery hunting? Trail magic in Vermont starts in about a month, feel free to wander by!
Hey SpinelessCougar! No mountain bandits can hold me for long! And Yep. Yep. Still hunting, But now it is Ashram season. Like monasteries but for Yoga. Been visiting several ashrams in southern India. Looking to find a place to stay some months, but haven't felt a match just yet Have fun with all the hikers this season! 😊🙏
The camera white balance kept changing and frame rates are low. I'd recommend getting a new GoPro
Thanks for letting me know. Unfortunately I'm no longer using a GoPro and am only having my fairly old phone camera. It's the best I've got at the moment. Hope you still enjoy 🙂🙏
This is wild, I would love to do a trip like this. Do you speak Hindi or how did you handle the language barrier?
Sadly no Hindi. Only English and a slight conversational ability in Spanish. But most people here have a little English,amazingly. And then also when not, we are able to understand enough through body language, tone, and playing charades 🙂
Glad you made it to Zanskar, enjoy your night in the cave!
Fried dough and tea looks awesome!
Yeah, that was pretty yummy 😋
I am always amazed by your solo adventures, Mike. Good to see you enjoying your hike. Thanks for sharing. Keep safe and keep having fun! 🤗
Video just showed up on my feed. How cool is that?!
Ha, that is awesome 😎 Now I'm chillen at a learning center monastery in Bir, near Dharamshala
Nice video. I have to worry that the generosity of the people is depriving them of their own needed resources. Happy Trails. Good Luck, Rick
Stunning scenery bud, this hike was amazing! 👏👏
8:51 he is in sexual union with his consort....he is called "yamantaka".....14:47 he is "tsongkhapa" founder of the yellow sect of tibetan buddhism
This is amazing, thank you for sharing
Quite the mix of old and new.
Hello, I visited your UA-cam channel Globalstat GROUP. Channel videos are great but what are the results of uploading videos to the channel? The number of views and subscribers is not increasing on any of your videos. This is because your UA-cam video is not SEO-optimized. SEO score is very low. The video has no tags. I say this with a 100% guarantee, your videos will get 100% organic views and subscribers will increase. I am an SEO optimization expert. I want to help you if you want
Wow Hawk! You are global my friend! Living life fully, I admire and respect you so much!
So nice to hear from you 😁 Yeah, living a very blessed life! Hope you are enjoying too and finding yourself in nature when you can 🙏❤️
I know you're a experienced hiker but please stay safe
Your videos are great so if the viewers watch the videos your channel will grow and it will be monetized. Proper SEO optimization will increase organic views and subscribers. I am not a content creator but an SEO optimization expert
You packed a lot into 6 minutes! Nice stuff to watch while baked.
nice one mike ! hope you r doin well!... love from kerala!! ... dani
Mike, I just got back from a 19 day moto tour of the Zanskar Valley and Kashmir. We stayed at the campsite you stayed at on September 18 and 20. We hiked into the Phuktar Gompa on the 19th. Amazing place and amazing people. When we were at the Monastery the Monks were also away so we must have been there very close to the time you were there. We went across the river to the small village and met the most wonderful couple working their crops. I will try and watch the rest of your video's. Cheers from Canada.
Yes, that is amazing! We came very close to crossing paths. In fact I think I was staying at the Gompa that same date you visited. I stayed a lot in my room or sometimes washing\bathing in the river. So easily to have missed you. Really amazing, thanks so much for showing me this small-world-ness 😜🙏
Bro. keep narration to the bare essentials. Otherwise, It leads to a sense of irritation for the viewer's. Let the visuals do the job for the most part, Try not to upload such videos again.
which place is this?
Hiking from Shade to Stongde
"All that was found was his tent and some other gear along with his phone and this final video." 😁 I'll assume you made it to the next village okay and will await the next video.
Definitely thought about what I would do for a last video recording 😜 mostly for fun...little bit just-in-case
Hi friend, your videos are unbelievably beautiful. The videos are indeed the best of the best. Your channel has uploaded so many videos but where are the views? If it doesn't go to people how will they watch and how will your channel grow subscribers? We can help you if you want to grow. I am an SEO optimization expert but not a video content creator.
Bro cut short unnecessary blabbering and be mindful to narrate bare essentials. Otherwise it spoils the visuals and at the same time giving a sense of annoyance to the viewers.
I hear you! These videos were already recorded. But I'm keeping it a bit shorter in current recordings 😉 Thanks for keeping on 👍

Just amazing 😻
Wow amazing landscapes 😻
Yeah! Unbelievable walking through these silent heights. Thanks so much 🙏
Beautiful place 😻
Wow the landscapes there are truly amazing! Such unique and beautiful atmosphere! Very enjoyable share my friend!
Thanks so much 😊. Im glad you enjoyed it!
This in Ladakh? My wife is Tibetan but from south India
Hey Yes, this is in Ladakh. Part of Zanskar Valley 🙂 The south is nice too, personally love south India food the most
Very interesting. I really enjoy these videos.
Thanks a lot Kriz! 😊
Very maze-like tour. I'm surprised there are locked doors. I expected that, being a monastery, everything would be wide open and trusting. If you ever get back to the Albany area you should wander by the Grafton Peace Pagoda. The actual pagoda isn't much but they have a very nice temple/prayer room. Considering how your phones like to meander on their own have you ever though about bolting it to your forehead so it can't get away? 🙂 Last summer during trail magic I met three hikers who had lost their phones. Two were found and returned while one appears gone forever. Did you know squatting to poop is supposed to be better for you than sitting?
Oh wow, the Grafton Peace Pagoda. I'm sure I would enjoy visiting there. About locked doors here, there are many tourists visiting everyday so I understand that. I was in a learning center before starting the journey here and they used to leave their meditation hall unlocked but they started to notice ancient relics going missing (also a bunch of visiting out of towners) so they had to keep it locked except for official use. Pretty sad stae of mind for some people. And YES! Squatting is much much better 😊 I learned that some years ago. Our colon is purposefully bent\"closed" until we bring our knees above our waist (squatting), then then our colon becomes straightened 👍
