    How do you have so much patience and desire to stay in tents for days alone. You are really in some zone in life where you are very clear and away from the desires we are fighting for in our city lives. Hats off to you.

    The reasons that you cite for the abandoned fields is a telling commentary on the changing lives of people in remote communities (especially in the Himalaya). Climate change, changing dietary habits, alternative and more lucrative options for earning a living - yes all these certainly contribute to how lifestyles are changing. However, I do feel a little sadness to reflect on the fact that the villagers eat rice and dal (foods which are not locally grown!) out of convenience. The barley that they traditionally cultivated and turned into tsampa which is a kind of superfood is losing its dominance I guess. I truly enjoyed your video and think that you are living a dream life, camping out solo in some of the most rugged landscapes on this planet! Regarding you not being able to spot the snow leopard, it reminds me of the renowned book by the eminent naturalist/author Peter Mathiesson - The Snow Leopard (published in 1978) - in which he goes in search of the elusive cat in the company of another famous naturalist George Schaller in the hills of the Dolpo region in Nepal and never sees one!! But he comes away spiritually satisfied and content. I feel your journeys too contain an underlying spiritual tone and depth which is another reason why I follow your unique channel! By the way, the brief time lapse sequences and visuals in this video are great and add very much to the quality of the content!

    • @indiainmotion
      @indiainmotion  Рік тому +14

      I've read Peter Mathiesson's book as well and was fascinated by his search for the snow leopard. More intriguing than the snow leopard was his description of the people living in the region. I used to be fascinated by all these stories and they were the catalyst that made me finally quit my job and start traveling full time in search of similar adventures.

Makes me think how change is constant, and sometimes we experience a lot of changes in a very short time, and it seems most everything changes. It can be difficult to adapt. And seeing this makes me think how the whole world is going through changes now, more and more often. Great Waves of change.

      A tent is protection against elements like wind and rain. It won't do anything to stop wild animals if they decide to attack you. So sleeping out in the open is not more dangerous than sleeping inside. Atleast that's what I tell myself.

      I had already spotted a snow leopard (for 5 seconds) a few weeks before i made this video. I was not looking for a Snow Leopard in that instance. I was just cooking in my car, looked out and spotted a Snow Leopard in the hill facing my car. But it disappeared by the time i could take my camera out. My next goal is to photograph a snow leopard in the wild, all by myself (ie without taking help of any professional spotters and guides)
      Btw, SOS devices are illegal in India. So i can't use them while going off grid.
