In the video it is clearly mentioned by the instructor that you should use half clutch only when slope is extremely steep (KHADI CHADHAI) in the case of uphil drive. It is as simple as that. I don't know why many viewers are finding it difficult to understand. Use the half clutch technique wisely and only when required. Those who still want to argue, kindly read this: carfromjapan.com/article/driving-tips/all-about-half-clutch-driving/
At all the other Ghats , there is a speed limit board , This is the first & only ghat in my entire 22 years of driving history where I have seen a 'Gear' Board , at few places it specifies that the 'First gear' should be applied. This is not a 'Dangerous' ghat , rather it is very beautiful , all we need is some decent driving skills and no over confidence.. cross the ghat with first and 2nd year and you will never face a problem , guys in overconfidence palce 3rd and 4th gear on uphill roads so down breaking to 3rd--> 2nd-->1st takes time , enjoy the drive not try to finish it.. You did extremely well in handling the reverse going car and then climbing back , bravo
I am from Neral. The town where Matheran Ghat starts. I will be very honest here. Driving in this ghat is no joke. Unless a driver has extreme control of his vehicle, obe shouldn't dare to drive in this ghat. I have seen many accidents (minor) especially from drivers who are from Mumbai and Pune or basically who are not accustomed to driving in ghats of sahyadri. The first hairpin incline turn after Jummapatti will tell you where you stand in terms of driving and controlling your car.
On hills one of the strategies is never use half clutch. Clutch should be used only when changing gears. If stuck in an uphill situation, use the hand brake and slowly release the clutch with the accelerator at the same time. And also if possible no music during hill drive the reason is you need to hear and see for other vehicles in a hill drive.
well one of the most challenging & dangerous ghat i myself have fallen in this area it was so much challenging for me as i had went riding on my Jupiter & also one jerk was my pillion..hatsoff to you buddy for displaying out the mistake and your learning & driving was absolutely good & thrilling one...well in this or such ghats only the Powerful engine can only pull it off..
This being my native place I've driven on this roads like thousands of times on my bike. Still scared to get my new car on this raod coz of hairpin turns & steep hight.. Hatsoff to your co-pasanger keeping driver engaged, calm & sill boosting his confidence 👌
great job bro, I've covered places like Himachal, Sikkim, Darjeeling, Ooty, Kodaikanal, Wayanad, Munnar and so on and i've been driving since one year only 😂
Never use half clutch. It will burn your clutch and pressure plates. Infact half clutch mean half of the power you are sending to the wheel . Maintain your momentum and plan the gear before climbing the slope. 👍
In case of steep slope use 1st... When you feel to change to 2nd then rev a little more and go for 2nd... Your car will never face any problem. Its for uphill
May i know which car you were driving? @@swadesimohan matheran has steep curves and bends, I have driven honda amaze automatic with 4 adults and a kid and had no issue
Bhai kal hi gaya tha. Rasta bohot chota hai isliye tough laga vo.turn ke vakt samne se car aya to jyada problem hoti hai.aur vo raste ke both side bade bade gadde bane hai turning point pe..
When u said matheran i knew this is the exact spot where u will make a mistake.. 😅😅. This hair pin loses tyre grip if tooo fast turn and it has a good height too so need to have decent rpm to climb up.. still keep progressing ❤❤
firstly switch off ac , Gear 1 & 2 only , u will have to take wide turn .so u will go in other lane but make sure any vehicle is not coming down in that lane ....Matheran hill drive is toughest drive i did ...But i guess places like ooty are tougher .
@@swadesimohan absolutely bro not high torque its about low end torque must be adequte and A/C must be in off so engine gets full power and main thing is u must get the momentum
Bhai me parso ho ke aya , meri gadi band ho gayi this adhe raste me uphill pe , so mene half clutch and break se uthane ki kosis ki but nahi uthi and drive hire kiya 300rs me . singhad me akele chadaya . ghat to difficult he no doubt ye wala . kuch tips do . mene kya galti kiya ??
Use your handbrake, switch off the ac. Clutch dheere chod kar accelerator dena chalu karo, jaise gadi vibrate hone ya hilne lage handbrake release kar do.
This is a prime example of the rot in our licencing system. Without even knowing to drive under various conditions, licence is distributed. All of us first got the licence, then learnt to drive in our own vehicle. This needs to stop.
I disagree with the first line of your comment "This is a prime example of the rot in our licensing system". Reasons: 1) Matheran Ghat is not just any normal ghat road it has unusually steep hairpins (The toughest I have seen) 2) I have shot this video after 2000+ km of driving experience. 3) You can not learn everything in laboratory unless you hit the real roads. 4) People keep learning with their driving experience (at least I do) be it India or America or any other country. Rest of your comments are true but not applicable in this case.
@@swadesimohan Appreciate your POV. However, I would still stand with what I have said. In any civilized and developed nation, the driving license test will test you for all road conditions. I am 100% sure that none of the Indian drivers who get their 1st license and take to the wheels can do an uphill start without rolling back. This was the essence of my 1st point. Even I fall in the same category. You are free to disagree. I have not driven on Matheran ghats and I don't know if you have driven on Ooty and Kodai ghat roads, I have.
@@RR_MakeRoadsSafe i have licenses from the states as well as from the gulf. None of those countries tested on uphill roads. I wonder why you just want to argue.
Sir aap konsi gadi chala rahe the matheran uphill ke samay Main wagon r 1 liter lxi lene ka soch Raha hu, matheran jaise ghat pe family aur luggage ke saath Chad sakti hai kya
@@swadesimohan thank you sir for your reply, to be on a safe side I have booked wagon r 1.2 zxi thought it would be better in ghat section like matheran as I am in learning phase
Bhai ....jab 1st gear me rpm bohut badh jaye to kya karna chahiye means ....sir bol rahe hai thoda clutch press krke full axillator do ..usse kya rpm kam rahega kya..
1) [jab 1st gear me rpm bohut badh jaye to kya karna chahiye means]: rpm bahut badh jaye tab accelerator aur cluch pedal ko slowly release karo but make sure ki utna hi release karo so that you get sufficient power. 2) [sir bol rahe hai thoda clutch press krke full axillator do ..usse kya rpm kam rahega kya]: nahi rpm jyada hi rahegi but usse gadi band hue bina slope par chadh jaegi. phir slowly step 1 ko follow karo.
Thanks. I was driving Grand i10 Nios. 3 log baithe to total. I think 4 log hote tab bhi dikkat nhi hoti. Its mainly the driving technique and proper use of clutch for uphil drives.
9.40 par mera accident ho gya samne wale se....1st time hill driving... Moumentum me rakhne ke liye slow nhi kri or aage wale se thuk gya ...bhala aadami tha aage wala jo kam peso me chhod diya..

That road is super scary. You did really well. That incline and bend was crazy

The turn at 9.44 has seen maximum number of accidents.

Trainer is very good
You drove well. Seems like a fun drive uphill. Will visit soon.
One of the toughest ghats, I have fallen at the exact place whr u made mistake, though it was not my mistake.
Liked the way he instructed ❤
Thanks bro send more video hill drive
Is there any additional precautions to be taken with automatic cars
I went their with automatic amt car 😂😂😂 i didn't do e anything automatically it when up
😂😂😂
Try not to stop on hairpin bend on uphill. Keep vehicle in 2nd and maintain your torque. You can do it better. Well, nice video!
Yes my friend. You have summed it up perfectly.
In case of steep slope use 1st... When you feel to change to 2nd then rev a little more and go for 2nd... Your car will never face any problem. Its for uphill
May i know which car you were driving? @@swadesimohan matheran has steep curves and bends, I have driven honda amaze automatic with 4 adults and a kid and had no issue

Just for learning is good but if u wanna go with ur family don't go by ur own vehicle.. Its risky... Pay 100 and enjoy the nature
Yes, true
Sabse tough hight lohagarh fort ki hai agr jaam lag jaye to Road two way bhi nhi hai..😮
Bhai kal hi gaya tha. Rasta bohot chota hai isliye tough laga vo.turn ke vakt samne se car aya to jyada problem hoti hai.aur vo raste ke both side bade bade gadde bane hai turning point pe..
@@hrushikeshkhairnar4813 yes ryt side se bde bde gadde hai😀

Pay 100 to taxi driver and enjoy how effectively they take you up in eco in 1st gear

Any tips for driving on ghet? How to get more mileage? How to less stress for car and clutch plate? How to avoid break failure? Etc
There is no point in thinking of mileage while driving on ghats. Keep your speed on a bit lower side so that you don't loose steering control.
Ohh i forgot to tell, these Eco are CNG. 😂😂😂
good
Thanks
Bro don't use clutch while pressing accelerator pedal. This is called half clutch driving. Clutch plate fook jayegi..
Clutch bitting pointing
Bhai... I think if there is steep uphill slope then you should use it to get high torque otherwise you will get struck.
@@swadesimohan absolutely bro not high torque its about low end torque must be adequte and A/C must be in off so engine gets full power and main thing is u must get the momentum
Agreed.
Bhai me parso ho ke aya , meri gadi band ho gayi this adhe raste me uphill pe , so mene half clutch and break se uthane ki kosis ki but nahi uthi and drive hire kiya 300rs me . singhad me akele chadaya . ghat to difficult he no doubt ye wala . kuch tips do . mene kya galti kiya ??
Aise situation me clutch bahut kam aur accelerator juada longe to uth jaegi.
Use your handbrake, switch off the ac. Clutch dheere chod kar accelerator dena chalu karo, jaise gadi vibrate hone ya hilne lage handbrake release kar do.
Bhai kisi bhi manual gaadi mai itni power nhi hoti Jo bss clutch se uphill Chad jayegi😂 accelerator Dena hi padega

Correct, clutch and acc match hone chaiye , agar apne jyada clutch jyada press kar diaya or sath mein full acc diya toh clutch ghis sakta hai
Keeping clutch pressed while climbing is bad for clutch health.
Nice video. Which was this car and how many people were sitting in the car?

Have you recorded downhill driving also from Matheran?
Yes... Neeche ki driving aasan hai isiliye dala nahi.
9.40 par mera accident ho gya samne wale se....1st time hill driving...
Moumentum me rakhne ke liye slow nhi kri or aage wale se thuk gya ...bhala aadami tha aage wala jo kam peso me chhod diya..
Haa.. bahut khatarnak hai yeh turn. Drive safe next time brother.
Accelerate lenaaaa samaz nhi ara kya😂😂
Sound is the problem.
Your recording is poor
Music band karo phir video banao
Chalaane aati nahi toh seedha yahan kyu leke aa gaye
The instructor is out of his mind. Never half clutch on hills if u want ur clutch to last
