The truck drivers who supply the lost cities of the Himalayas play the tightrope walkers on passes at 4000 meters altitude; they graze parishes and precipices flat out on roads barely wider than their engines.

Directors: Frédéric Elhorga, Antonin Marcel

    Every second of this documentary beats an hour of the garbage on TV nowadays. Thank You.
  • Salute : - 1. To the Makers of this Beautiful Documentary . 2. To the People who live there. 3. To the Drivers who deliver essentials there . 4. To the hardships these people have to face . Best part is these people are living together without the use of cellphones which is parting people nowadays . They don't talk because of them (cellphones) . Even the people who live in Himachal can't afford to risk their lives by travelling on these roads .

    My heart went out for the family n their 6yr old daughter who walked for 2.5 hrs in that extreme cold condition. The driver who work so hard risking good life for people n his family. Hats off to the makers of this documentary... In the end, we must stay humble, calm and helpful selflessly. 🙏
  • I am from the state of Maharashtra in India, I often hear people say that the north and the east is not developed and all, but I don't think they know the hardship these people go through just to survive. We in the south and the west are so lucky to have such good landscape and weather. God bless them with love and prosperity. May India prosper immensely and wholly so that our such hardworking people get better infrastructure and a better life they deserve.

    India is so huge. Being in the south of India with a comfortable lifestyle it's mesmerizing to see life in the Himalayas. Bravos..
  • По таким дорогам не только страшно и опасно ездить, но и по видео смотреть ужасно страшно, того и гляди сердце разорвется. И в таких местах живут люди и кстати очень скромные и жизнерадостные, не забывают по ,,своему,, благодарить бога! Астрахань. Россия.

    "The Villagers in the said mountains hold solidarity and mutual aid as core values, without these values none of the villagers could survive. Such is life on top of the world" 😊❤️

    In the first half of the 90s I spent three years serving as a UN military observer in Kashmir and Pamir. The spectacular nature of that region still means a great deal to me and so does the freindly and humble attitude from the peoples living in those remote mountain regions. They have my full respect and the pleasent memories will be cherished for the reminder of my life.
  • .Out of all the "Most deadliest road" videos I've watched, the one to Kaza has to be the worst. It's truly amazing how anyone could drive a big truck on that road. Best wishes to the drivers for a safe journey, and to all the people who live up there. Also, great documentary! And bravo to the brave crew who were brave enough to travel on those roads to get this great footage!

    A wonderful insight into the lives of people living on the top of the world and the brave drivers who dice with death taking passengers and supplies to extremely difficult places to reach. Thank you for this amazing and so enjoyable video ! Namaste !

    Heroic documentary, thanks from Estonia, the land of shallow sea, forests and no mountains!👋🇪🇪
  • They, those people have so much less, but happy and contented in their own way. Fantastic documentry.
  • I'm 70 years old and I live in a medium-sized city in Brazil. Watching this documentary I see how life in my city is very easy compared to what this documentary presented. Still, around here, there are many people who complained about the life they lead with all the facilities of the modern world. Congratulations on the documentary, it was excellent.

    Восхитительный фильм, спасибо огромное за такой хороший материал фильма. Это совсем нелегко понимать что люди живут в таких сложных жизненных условиях. Я с семьей живу в Швеции , имею всё неободимое, еду , воду, тёплый дом , любимую работу а главное полноценную семью, слава богу! и только сейчас я понимаю, что мы живем и жалуемся на жизнь, даже совестно стало. мы даже не понимаем насколько мы хорошо живем по соавнению с темитрудностями с которыми сталкиваются этот народ в иидии. желаю вам смирения и крепкого здоровья, пусть благословит вас бог за ваше терпение и смирение.❤❤❤❤❤

    I have never seen a documentary like this. And, from now on, I will never complain about life, we are living lavish in big cities. Greetings from Pakistan.

    A video not to be missed. Salutations to all, mountains people, dedicated monks , drivers with nerves of steel and light heart overcoming all too human fears, and those who made this amazing video. I am humbled by their indomitable spirit , how they face such everyday challenges. Jai Bholenath, Namo Buddhe🙏🙏🙏🙏
  • Amazing!! We live in lower middle Himalayas in the same state of Himachal Pradesh. But nature here is not so harsh. Twenty years back I have been at Kaza, to where Rakesh driven his truck. Nothing is easy here and the mountains are really ruthless and have no mercy. Thanks to the constituion of India which has gaurded and preserved the identity of these people residing in these tribal areas.

    Ten years ago I went to the Spiti valley, from Manali. Years before I was there to do the same but rainfall kept the road closed. It’s even more impressing then the road to Leh. Beside unbelievable nice walks, you can visit the oldest Buddhist temple in India. Also I stayed in a monestary on top of a mountain. There was no need for making reservations in any of the places I visited. Besides the giant scenery made me feel so very small it also made me feel to be on the top of the world. At places where rivers were just wildly crossing the road, the driver told us (I rented a 4x4 together with a Australian and French guy I met in Manali) to get out of the car and climb over the rocks upstream while he drove the car through the water. He did not want to risk our lives as well. A falling stone demolished the rear window of our Tata. And when it got really scary we played the new album of Daft Punk. Awesome trip. Don’t go there when you are short on travel days. Anything could happen.
