Kargil, a part of India
Which is right next to Aloshi
Who has seen the war just a few years ago
People have come to know its name for that reason.
But this crucial part of our country
Life and the nature here
People are still unaware today as well.
The past of this place is a curse.
No matter how foreign it may seem
But today here
Filled with colors
The color that even these dry hills cannot conceal
Fills with greenery
The color that flows through these mountains
It appears in this beautiful blue Indus River.
The color hidden within these beautiful flowers on the trees here.
And within these mountains filled with colors
Some of India's most unique cultures are also born here.
Some people live in a village near the LOC.
Who was once in Pakistan.
Going through all these stories, we reach this beautiful chakra of India
We will travel from the heart to the soul.
Welcome, one and all, to this mysterious land of India, the enchanting town of Kargil.
After crossing an altitude of ten thousand feet, the second capital of Ladakh is this city—Kargil.
A bustling, vibrant city.
But to truly understand Kargil, I had to go all the way to its peaks.
Because the true identity of any place lies hidden in its roots.
In this search, I arrived here at the largest counter—and perhaps also the most beautiful counter—of the place.
I never imagined that a desert, which at first glance appears to be just a barren, lifeless expanse of sand, could ever be so green and teeming with life.
Until I actually saw Sanku.
In the Karakoram region of Ladakh, the onset of greenery begins right here at Sankoo, which itself is part of a very lush valley known as Suru Valley, named after the Suru River flowing through the middle of this valley.
Tell me the truth—now that I've arrived at the early part of Kargil, it feels as if the Ladakhi and Kashmiri mountains have come together here.
Here, the green meadows of Kashmir are lush, and the surrounding mountains completely envelop the entire Ladakh region.
In truth, this valley is indeed becoming more and more like a valley.
Because Kashmir is on one side and Ladakh is on the other.
And it seems there are also some good qualities in Laddag.
And the greenery of Kashmir is also here
So therefore a very, very much
What a beautiful composition he has created.
And look at this world—so bewildering, I'm utterly confused.
That she is so incredibly beautiful
The landscape here now appears extremely vibrant and full of life.
Now here
How full of life are people's lives
They also take a look.
Hello
The children are crying from inside the hut's windows.
Hello, brother
Hello. What is this doing?
They are taking him into the forest.
Alright, let's pick this up and take it!
Who is Kedar?
That's enough.
Where are you going?
I'm wandering around. Where am I?
Alright, did you put all these here to dry?
Are they taking it away now?
They are taking him home right now.
What's up?
I thought their house must be somewhere nearby.
But the house was somewhat too high up.
Is this your house? Is this it?
And above?
So I pick up my backpack and set it down.
And sister, look at how heavy a burden she's carrying.
Hill warrior
Where is it seated up to there?
Is that your last one?
After reaching home, my elder sister asked me if I wanted tea.
And that's why I had just had a cup of tea before leaving.
So I refused them.
And then...
Here people drink a lot of tea, drink tea, drink tea.
Drink tea, drink tea, keep on talking
Everyone speaks
Alright, that's good to hear.
Someone has come here; if they talk about something, tea will surely be drunk again.
It will be the same, it will be the same—this is humanity.
It should be that way
Exactly, exactly
Come on, Alla, explore it more deeply now.
Yes, okay, all right
Come on, brother, let's go, I'll throw your party for you
Yehla, yehla, yehla
Come on, brother
Further ahead, all the way ahead
So on the rest of the lands, either barley or wheat is grown.
And here, together with this house
For your local neighborhood
Here, vegetables and the like are brought in.
So we have to feed them, that's why we're going there, so that this
Fertilize the soil slightly for them.
Well, even more organically
Whoever undertakes their own khadi weaving from Potti
Therefore, the entire process is very organic.
Therefore, whatever vegetables people pick
It is organic.
But as I said
From Sanku to Suruvelli
It's just the beginning.
Because just a short distance from here
Suruvelli appears in an entirely different form.
I can say without any doubt that
The most greenest part of the initial battle is
Right where I am sitting now
Water is also flowing on my side there.
And Green Ray is also there
And behind are so many beautiful snow peaks.
Rather, it is all around, not just behind.
The highest peaks from here to Kargil
Mount Nun and Mount Kun are also visible.
which are over 23,000 feet in elevation
But I would have stopped anyway just by seeing these mountains from afar.
I wanted to get closer to them.
Therefore, I went further into Suru Valley.
Then another beautiful village from Kargil has come to light
Pani Khar
Panikhar is a small village in Kargil, situated at an altitude of 10,800 feet.
There are barely 300 people living here.
And perhaps precisely for this reason, life here appears even more serene and peaceful.
Because here the summer has just begun
So everyone is busy preparing their fields.
But wherever I usually saw people working in the fields, it was always the poor who appeared.
Just let this young generation try farming here and see.
I felt a bit different
So I asked as well.
Do you like farming or not, forced to do it?
Like
I like planting the rest of the seeds.
It feels good
Let me try and see this
Well, they've certainly motivated me.
Once try farming
Alright, everyone's here, man
How much money will you give me?
And bidding farewell from here
I set off early in the morning.
Near these high mountains
You'll be shocked to know this
just 15 kilometers away from Pani Khar
You can go close not just to these high mountains
Rather, directly
You can reach Galeshwar directly.
So right now I'm starting the journey
I am standing in front of a glacier.
Parchhik Galeshwar
And this is what you can see of Galeshwar's portion
It is less than 1% of his share.
Because it is a glacier
14 kilometers long
And it spreads over an area of 50 clasters
And the water flowing out from this glacier
It forms the Suru River when it merges with this river.
And as the river goes further and further
The entire morning is gone
It radiates greenery and vibrancy of life.
And with this very breeze, the meadow is so beautiful
They are sitting on the bus.
Here from an altitude of 12,000 feet
From this ridge of Kargil
Now straight to the second row
I'm going to cross the LOC.
Seeing life along the border
But Kargil's
The path itself is so beautiful.
That the destination is
You will be forgotten
Just look at it right here
Just now
I was standing on a very beautiful place
What should I tell you people?
I can't believe it myself that
I am standing here on such a beautiful place
Standing right here, you cannot possibly say
That's Ladakh.
that this is a desert call
There's such a beautiful green village right beside the side.
Below is the flowing water
And ahead, this mountain of ice
And along with it, there's also this very beautiful road.
Passing through these beautiful paths
Finally, I am at Kargil
At the other end of this
Arrived at the entrance of Alousi
But just sit here and wait.
Before Leaving
You must see this.
that finally we are at the border
How many passes are there?
Here for Cheris
A special place has been created.
Even with the telescope
To get a close look at Aloshi
So what you're seeing behind me
That is Alois's viewpoint.
And from here, Aloosi and Pakistani post
Everything is perfectly clear and visible.
The area of Pakistan is beginning to heat up.
As the green area that you can see
That is the entire area of Pakistan.
But there are some telescopes installed here.
And if you look through the eyepiece of that telescope
So clearly and thoroughly
Pakistani stamps are also visible
We know that we are Indians.
And it always remains.
But that feeling of being Indian
Being Indian
She feels it here, standing on these spots
What's happening to me, Philan
While traveling
As long as we don't talk to the people there
By then, from those awakenings
That connection doesn't work.
Just like without the right music
From any video
It's difficult to connect.
Therefore, in my video
Because their AI assistant
As soon as you describe the emotion of the video
Searching for West Music
AI does it and then
Different versions of music as well
Customizes the video
Customization at this length
It doesn't end just with this
Any music from the Adapt feature
Move the part back and forth yourself
You can also adjust according to it.
And all these music restrictions are free
Without any copyright
Even at such a highly affordable price
And my codenist 25 from
On the Enval Plan
25% of it will be given to me too
Try it and then see.
How does video quality improve?
But this matter
It's astonishing.
Some people for years
Have been staying here all along
A whole village is situated there.
And even more than that
The astonishing thing is this
that it was ever in Pakistan
This is a song.
Hundraman
This song has two aspects.
The first one among them is this.
In the houses where no one lives anymore
This part of Gao
It has now been converted into a museum.
Hidden in their rooms
Its story
In 1971
When the Indo-Pak War took place here
So sing this night and night
Pakistan Occupied Kashmir
Became part of India
And along with the border
Some families as well
Divided between two countries
Due to which some houses are empty
They were left empty.
And those who remain here
Over time, along with time
Leaving these old houses behind
One another's goats
Shifted to the safe area
And left behind in these rooms
Bonds of their signs
Today at this museum
Those old belongings of people
Can be seen
As it was at that time
Pakistani currency
Even during the war
Gire Bom Shails too
They can be seen
Rather, those families that have fallen behind
Written letters as well
Here are the items kept by Samal.
Well, all this
This song has a past today.
Because Hundaman's
In the second part
A new beginning in life
Can be seen
The beginning of this new song
It comes from the Government School.
But I'm here
Being so close to Aloshi
To understand life
So from the people here
Tried to have a conversation
Then I met Sajit Bhaiya
The jinn said that those who live here
People are always with the army.
Help us
Rather, even they themselves reached Army Camps
They carry the same burden.
And in the midst of talk and chatter
They also invited me to their home.
Invited
So Brother just called me to his house.
I'm going inside.
Hello
You're not taking it?
It's no longer there
He will eat biscuit roti.
No, no
Nobody. You're just fine.
Actually, I'm glad to hear that.
that here is now alive
It is full of peace.
Well, I really should be going now
Hidden in Kargil
In a completely different world
Perhaps he is in the world of dreams
It would not be incorrect to say so.
Because
Come, you see for yourself.
This is beautiful
Apricot blossom
A season like this
These beautiful pink ones
And with white flowers
She becomes adorned.
This is a flower of apricot.
That is, Khumani's
Those who have just come from Kargil
With their colors, Silmugahos
Filled it in.
Some are looking at the air by themselves.
Just one fruit, so much
A beautiful life cycle.
that he had turned on these lights earlier
It is made from pink-colored flowers.
What a beautiful natural waterfall it is.
Who has been hit by this place
And from here, the beginning will commence.
A whole different journey
And the most different culture seen so far
Because from here
A New Valley in Kargil
Appears in front
Aryan Valley
Different from the initial greenery
Aryan Valley's identity is
Flowing through these barren mountains
The beauty of this river
At first glance
It wins the heart.
But precisely because of this
Even in these barren mountains
Green Water
It remains.
But Aryans Valley's
And as soon as they entered the thick forest
Four and surrounded by this cold
In the desert, from afar
A piece of greenery
It seems to appear
Aryan Valley's
A very beautiful village
Darchik
Here, you can see me behind you.
This is a very beautiful village.
Darchik Village
Greenery in its entirety
filled and very much
Highly valuable and extremely precious
Becomes valuable when you are such a
In the place of excessive comfort
I mean, behind me, all this entire
In the frame, you are surrounded by everything around you in this entire village
You won't feel dizzy anywhere while standing up.
that you are standing in a desert
There is so much greenery here.
So let's go again to this beautiful village
Explore because here is the civil
It's not just the greenery that makes it special.
Moreover, the place has a very unique culture and people as well.
Then let's go, let's hurry up.
July 1st
July
You can come in, sir. Come in, come in.
Cha cha
What are you doing? Removing the gas.
Are you removing the gas? Then anything at all?
Are you planting crops?
Alright, alright, don't get upset.
Let me tell you, I'll do it for your help
Which grass are you removing? The one with the 'A' on it.
Alright, leave this one here.
Abhi, don't come here to Matra's.
Extracted wild gas from Kheth
It damages the crop.
How long will it take you to fix all these leaks like this?
It will take three or four hours.
Will you do it in three or four hours today?
Today, he will definitely go to the shop.
Is this someone's individual field, or is it everyone's field?
No, it's our field.
So, everyone helps like this?
Well, I wanted to get to know this unique culture a bit more closely.
Therefore, I take my leave from here
He started going inside Gao and into the depths.
Therefore, do not sing the entire song
Sara is reading a storybook while climbing the stairs.
It seems like the tracking is running, someone
How do those who don't read songs live?
Because there is no road inside Gao's place
There is a road below and a road above.
And in the middle, just keep turning as much as you want to.
To go around the stairs
If even the locals here find it hard to build a house
So all those identical steps
Kicking, kicking, kicking, kicking, they come rushing in
You're taking this wood somewhere, aren't you?
For building a house
On such steps
I also met some companions.
Some children who were coming from school
And when the children become guides
So, on the way, brakes are squeaking repeatedly
So they become ready immediately
Like these apricot trees
Unfinished cement mortar
Breaks for eating, bite by bite
The children have given apricots, broken open.
I'll check it for you.
But as we keep going
I arrived at a house like that
Where I am here, the culture of this place
And then it became known
that this culture is not limited to Kargil alone
It is different even from the entire Ladakh region.
Rather, if you have already done it
So these people also look like
The rest of Ladakh's people
They feel quite different.
Among them, some of the people here are
Her eyes are also blue.
This is something worth thinking about.
that these people
How can the rest of Ladakh be separated?
It is considered for this reason.
whose lineage these people are
Thousands of years old
Related to the Indo-Aryan peoples
And for this very reason, these people
Aryans
And where these people live
He is called Arya Meli.
Moreover, their language as well
Indo-Aryan is
But their traditional attire
From their history as well
It's unique.
Like a very beautiful hat
Upon hearing its price
You will be amazed.
For this reason, it's so expensive
Because it contains old silver
Coins and jewelry are attached.
It is believed that this hat
Protects them from evil eye
Rather, some women's hats even have
Here, several feet long
Children also appear.
Because it has been for its entire lifetime
Broken or cut hair
She keeps it tied with her cap.
I'm appearing for the first time, so here's the coin
On the journey to understand Cherin's culture
I've wandered so much in the streets
that in this village all
Has already reached the high point
So right now, after climbing quite a lot
At the high point of this dark village
I stand here.
As the whole beautiful Surat Valley
Siv Darchik villages not
Rather, the entire Aran Valley is visible.
Here, the rock cliffs visible from here
On such a cliff
Something has been created in Kargil.
What is extremely special
To see it
I arrived at Kargil.
In a monastery
This is the Friendship Buddha Statue
More than thirty feet high
This statue
A cliff on a mountain
It is made of carved wood.
Not one or two
Rather, for over 600 years as well
It's too old.
So many years ago
When there was not even any machine or technology
How much hard work must have gone into it
In making this
So much detailing is there
In the statue, in their face
The detailing of the goods
There is such intricate detailing in everything.
And even inside such a huge rock
Turn back from here
I'm back again at Torchik Village
He stepped out into the streets.
Because the vitality here is
I had to become a bit more of a mess.
Here came into my view
At an old Aryan house
Where this fair from me
The goat's kid also goes to the market.
Then it's your turn
The goat's kid had just been born.
And it's getting hot and steamy.
It's quite a mess, actually, in this one.
So, do you drink goat's milk?
Milk comes out of a goat in such abundance
This burden won't remain light for you.
You pull out so much nonsense every day
I was just about to leave from here anyway.
Uncle called me again.
What are you saying?
For drinking tea
You had called out from here
Because here two types of tea are prepared
That's why Uncle asked me
Which tea will you drink?
I said anyone
But they gave me both teas.
Honestly tell me
Not just in this song
Balkee throughout the entire Karakil
Many times
I got a chance to drink tea
Perhaps by now
As much as I have traveled in India
The most in it
Drink this tea.
Such that in one video
It's also difficult to show all of that.
But the issue is not just about tea.
Every tea at Balke
Tales heard and tales told
Whatever culture it may be
Any such excuse
Changed the world
Change name
Hello, goodbye, saying "julé" has also changed.
But Lokos'
No doubt
Well, it shouldn't be changed anyway.
But maybe from the village to the city
Here comes this controversy
It changes
Humble, kind
This love is a face-to-face encounter
Replace this with something essential
A chow is born.
Few people in the city would probably choose it.
Therefore, come to such places
You can feel the difference
But a city is needed
This village
We all humans have
These qualities are present.
It's just a matter of time before you adopt it.
Like one elder sister did
It was said in Sanku
And this is true.
Because if we are humans at all
We will not show humanity.
Then who will show it?
Shall we go?
Come on
