Journey to Maneybhanjang, ‘the place where all roads meet’ deep in the Himalayas, and discover why this remote village in the sky is known as the Land of Land Rovers.
I had experienced this ride from Manybhanjan to Sandakphu in a vintage 1957 Land Rover. Every trip on this road in a Land Rover comes guaranteed with more ups and downs than an entire lifetime.
Thank you for sharing your series 1 Land Rovers. I'm very proud to say my 1957 diesel 86"wheel base is still going 💪 strong. By the way I purchased it new and the original owner. My other is a 1965 series 2A diesel 109" station wagon, again was purchased new, and original owner. Both were purchased on the overseas delivery program, with special additional options( galvanized chassis, and any steel parts heavy galvanized) Again thank you for sharing your series 1's with us. Greetings from Florida, and the United States of America.
My first Landie was 1954. I just loved it. Many years later i wish i still had it. But now i have a series 1 discovery V8 i have had it for 16 years and it's never let me down and I've driven it all over Australia. I will never sell this one.
Such an inspiring story of the Land Rovers and their resilience.Truly, they are the undisputed champions when it comes to traversing the most challenging of mountain trails. Beautifully shot film with such care and grace. Thank you for this. Made me feel utterly nostalgic ❤️
I am the very proud owner of an unrestored 1966 Series2A 88”. I bought it from a gentleman who was still using it every day on his cattle ranch. Driving one is addicting. They are not easy to drive. They are not comfortable. They are not fast. They are not refined. They are perfect!👌 They make me smile just looking at them.👍
People of this milennia must have this experience, and from Sandakphu you can go to Phaluk, another beautiful place where you can get the best view of Kanchenjunga.. Welcome to WEST BENGAL...
The OLD ones are great! The new ones are full of electronics and electronics from the UK were always problematic. Thousands of sensors and a single failure and the computer shuts down the vehicle. A bad connection is enough.
Proud To Be An Indian🇮🇳, Proud On Mr. Ratan Tata To Be The Owner Of Legendary Land Rover And A Proud Owner of Land Rover Discovery Sport.... Jai Hind... 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
The unwavering trust of Maneybhanjang's drivers in their fleet of 42 1957 Land Rover Defenders is a powerful testament to the brand's legendary durability. As a good will gesture, Land Rover should embrace this living heritage by supporting the village with spare parts and service.
Have you guys heard of Cameron Highlands in Malaysia ? Literally thousands of defenders and series landie up there. Just look it up. Would make a nice feature for LR PR team
@Land Rover, this is a great commercial, but these vehicles are not in a good shape, so I think that it would be nice from Land Rover to take em 1 by 1 and repair all that's broken and replace what can't be fixed ? :) I'm sure that these people would appreciate it... :D They would be able to use em for 50 more years :)
J W True, but they usualy fix just the engine and transmission as good as they can, but they would probably be happy with a completely restored vehicle :)
Aaron ___ well, take a look in the video itself... And after 50 years of frequent use, nothing can be in perfect shape ... And a friend of mine had a 50 year old Land Rover, engine and transmission were good, but everything else was falling apart, despite being kept in garage and maintained...
This video give me another impulse regarding land rovers. *No Vehicle is Better than Land Rover* *To drive a land rover you need Courage,You must be confident* Above And Beyond I love Land rovers 😆
A Simply Fab Life Land Rover was at its best when it was making vehicles like the series 1 and 2, 2a. The reliability issues from then on, the shambles of British Leyland, really tarnished its reputation. The defender was an amazing vehicle (great chassis and articulation) but with no proper updates, underpowered engines and poor reliability it really lost ground to more successful Japanese competition. Land Rover really dropped the ball with the Defender.
If you use the village for your advertisement, call it "the land of land rover" then it would be better if you could provide the community with some newer ones as your CSR activity or whatever,...the way I see it the real magic here is not the land rover but the courage & skill of person driving it.
The mountains in the background when they get to Sandakphu are literally Everest, Kanchenjunga, Lhotse & Makalu - 4 of the 5 highest mountains on the planet. (Look up Sleeping Buddha)
I hate to break it to you but by Having owned Land Rovers and Jeeps I can say that Jeeps are better than land rovers off road by far. I’m not hating on land rovers as I love and currently own both makes.
How soon is the next generation Defender going to become available for purchase? I owned and drove Land Rovers for about 30 years. Have been driving a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon since April 2012. (My Rubicon is now on the Island of Molokai in Hawaii. My primary residence is in Utah. I need another off-road capable 4-wheel drive. The only makes I'd consider for on and off-road use are the Wrangler Rubicons and a U.S. market Land Rover Defender. Let's see JLR and Tata put the next generation Defender for sale on the U.S. market.) Thanks for the wonderful video on the Land of Land Rovers!
Jakob the Defender isn’t entirely gone yet, he was asking about the next generation Defender which they expect in 2019, this will replace the existing model they stopped in 2015.
Wrong.... A person has bought several landrovers scrapped it and sells for spares... Major ones... All others are made in India. Or altered to suit mahindra spares. .
I have an Evoque and a Range Rover, but they're just not quite right. Where can I buy this new model? Will I be able to afford one if I trade in both my vehicles?
What an awesome story! Great vehicles and amazing people!

Really nice to know brother, brother are they stronger than other 1.6 and 2lt engine 4wd cars? Whats the main special thing about them ?
@@addysidhu5669 they are the car's that can go anywhere, one of the original SUVs
Those normal suv didn't have those proper mechanics these had
What an amazing video. Well done Land Rover, you’re pioneers.

Wow...the video is so good. Especially kudos to your cinematographer 👍

They are perfect!👌
They make me smile just looking at them.👍
Here's to the brave guys driving the ancient Series 1s up those mountain roads!
Amazing video. Brought a tear to my eye. Makes me wish I had my dream Land Rover. But I'll take to two I have!
Like lions belongs to wild, Land rovers belongs to drive wilds and they really do 1957 💪💪
A perfect trinity: the land, the people and the vehicle. Land Rovers
People of this milennia must have this experience, and from Sandakphu you can go to Phaluk, another beautiful place where you can get the best view of Kanchenjunga.. Welcome to WEST BENGAL...
Who says land rover are unreliable... watch this LRs ...the legendary land rovers
The OLD ones are great!
The new ones are full of electronics and electronics from the UK were always problematic.
Thousands of sensors and a single failure and the computer shuts down the vehicle. A bad connection is enough.
@@mrcvry i bought one it works great till now.
Well done guys 👏🏼👏🏼
This is how we promote our country
Keep on doing such things
I loved it😁
I’m going to bring my Wolf to Nepal and drive to Sandakphu just because of this film, utterly incredible !
Proud To Be An Indian🇮🇳, Proud On Mr. Ratan Tata To Be The Owner Of Legendary Land Rover And A Proud Owner of Land Rover Discovery Sport.... Jai Hind... 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

What an incredible place!! I'm too a proud Land Rover owner, thanks for sharing
Love of a Indian village for a Indian brand ❣❣
Land Rover: not only the men's best friend, it's a life style.
I have tears in my eyes
So emotional
So awesome
So lovely
Im so happy. i got 8 Land Rover. 3 of them are Series 1.

Such an amazing video.
Love from Nagaland. 🤗
The best 4x4 by far!!!
In this part of India, Land Rovers are a life support system just like Land Cruisers are in Africa.
it has been my dream to drive cross continents in a defender.
Amazing... U deserve such respect Miss Rover 😍
"To drive a land rover you
need a bit of courage and you must be very confident"
Para mí estos son los mejores 4x4 del mundo.simples ,robustos . Eternos
Now that’s living the Land Rover life cheers
Proud of my country India 🇮🇳...
sometimes its better to go with simplicity over beauty of complexity....charming good old days
Should have mentioned Mt. Everest can be seen in the last shot
@Land Rover, this is a great commercial, but these vehicles are not in a good shape, so I think that it would be nice from Land Rover to take em 1 by 1 and repair all that's broken and replace what can't be fixed ? :) I'm sure that these people would appreciate it... :D They would be able to use em for 50 more years :)
So long as the village wasn't allowed to sell them on.. Win win
If they own them for more than 60 years, I think they know how to fix them properly. They dont need a perfect vehicle.
J W True, but they usualy fix just the engine and transmission as good as they can, but they would probably be happy with a completely restored vehicle :)
Tromi1986 how can you tell the shape they're in?
Aaron ___ well, take a look in the video itself... And after 50 years of frequent use, nothing can be in perfect shape ... And a friend of mine had a 50 year old Land Rover, engine and transmission were good, but everything else was falling apart, despite being kept in garage and maintained...

It's a stunning landscape.

I hate to break it to you but by Having owned Land Rovers and Jeeps I can say that Jeeps are better than land rovers off road by far. I’m not hating on land rovers as I love and currently own both makes.
Ninooooo wow your cars are so gorgeous!

Wow! Well done land rover. But think now why your reliability of owesome Land Rover

Andy McKane I'm sorry to break it to you, but they got discontinued at the end of 2015. You could import a 1993 or older?
Jakob the Defender isn’t entirely gone yet, he was asking about the next generation Defender which they expect in 2019, this will replace the existing model they stopped in 2015.
Anthony D and I was sure they were gone for good...
Landover is awesome.!!
Land rover is never day 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 saya masih menabung uang untuk membeli land rover 🙏🏾😅😓
WOW!!
Those are the Grandpas of today's Land Rover.

Today they just lay around doing nothing lol
And just useless

Land rovers are always good no matter what

LAND ROVER O CARRO DO MEU SONHO SUA TECNOLOGIA AVANÇADA ,MAIS É SÓ SONHO PARA MIM É HUMANAMENTE IMPOSSÍVEL.LAND ROVER O CARRO DO MEU SONHO.
I wonder from where he gets the spares to maintain a 1957 land Rover
Online, like everyone else?
Wrong.... A person has bought several landrovers scrapped it and sells for spares... Major ones... All others are made in India. Or altered to suit mahindra spares. .
They replace the engine with a Mahindra diesel
Love Land Rover
Nepali people I love them
Amazing!!!!
Awesome 👌....
I have an Evoque and a Range Rover, but they're just not quite right. Where can I buy this new model? Will I be able to afford one if I trade in both my vehicles?
no
I have already reached upto Singalila National Park gate solo with my self driven alto car on 09-05-21
auto king of himalayas road
0:17 Prasant Tamang ji(Kalu da) made our recent Sandakphu trip successful.
Been there, traveled in them
0:47 hey beautiful
This is super cool.
We admire your passion. If you could drive a Land Rover anywhere, where would you take it?
@landrover I drive a Land Rover every day - but a trip like these guys are having would be a charm: @TheLandyExpedition
Hey Land Rover Why don't you make films about Sri Lanka Landrovers ,they are plenty of old ones still alive.
An interesting idea for a future film - we'll definitely be exploring Sri Lanka again in the future!
Land Rover thank you, i also in to commercial films Please let me know when you are doing it.like to see your shoot.
