Maruti Jimny Owner Solo Camping
The video comes from BRH Expeditions on YouTube. The vlogger reaches the Kunzum Pass which is situated at a height of around 15,000 feet. It lies on the Manali-Kaza Highway in Himachal Pradesh. As he reaches the pass, it starts to snow heavily. He initially decides to stay inside the vehicle. But some people suggested that the roads could get blocked in no time. He then decides to commence his journey to Kaza in the dark. The snowfall becomes so thick that he is barely able to drive properly. Moreover, there was a long patch of road where stones have landed on the road due to extreme weather conditions. Nevertheless, he makes it to Kaza safely.

What We Think
We strictly recommend that no one should ever undertake such dangerous acts. Mountain passes might be beautiful but during harsh weather conditions, everything changes very quickly. Things could get extreme within a matter of minutes. Camping solo on such high passes is never a good idea. One could face breathing issues, cold and the vehicle could easily run into ignition problems due to extreme weather conditions. This YouTuber might have done it for the content, but you could see in the video how difficult and challenging the topography was. You must never attempt anything like this.
