So this is everything you miss when you fly directly to Leh. These are the iconic Gata Loops 21 steep hairpin bends on the Manali–Leh Highway. This stretch is so demanding that many inexperienced travellers end up burning their brake pads. The route we’re taking here are the old shortcuts, originally created for large army convoys because the trucks couldn’t turn on such sharp curves. These tracks cut straight across 2–4 bends at a time, and were later opened for 4x4 vehicles. Only the daring attempt them not your average driver. We engaged 4x4 low on our lifted Defenders and cleared the climb, especially since the main road was stuck in a traffic jam! 🔥💯

Have had enough of @reliancejio @JioCare The problem is with their wiring. They have amateurishly hanged the fibre cables on poles, which gets affected by rains. Airtel have meticulously laid the cables underground but it happened after my Jio installation. Switching back today


Been trying to schedule a @reliancejio Fibre engineer for home visit since yesterday. The only way to do that is through their app, which is not working because the WiFi is down. Calling their customer care is a pain as there is no way to talk to a representative.
