In his YouTube video, the vlogger takes his viewers on a thrilling journey as he reached the empty and serene Kunzum Pass. Despite being alone in the vast wilderness, he fearlessly explored the surroundings, showcasing the beauty of the snow-capped mountains and abandoned buildings. As the snowfall began, the vlogger, well-prepared for such situations, decided to camp inside his trusty Maruti Suzuki Jimny. After deciding to camp in the car he then emptied the left side of the car to set up a cozy sleeping area. Before resting for the night, he generously fed a hungry dog he encountered along the way.
As the vlogger settled in for the night, the snowfall intensified, and he was faced with a critical decision – whether to stay put or move to safer grounds. Listening to the advice of the few people who had passed by, he wisely chose to descend towards the nearby village. Driving through the treacherous roads, the vlogger encountered some minor obstacles in the form of rocks scattered on the way. Thankfully, the Maruti Suzuki Jimny’s robust off-road capabilities allowed him to navigate through these challenges with ease.
