Another travel video of host Vikas, of whom I have been seeing numerous videos. He has tried Adventures using his different vehicles in various places in Northern Indian Himalayan states. Some very high and risky passes and encounters with snow and more periliously Black Ice. In this particular episode, we realize that while snowfall makes one feel good and enjoy, heavy snow which causes slippage and Black Ice condition can be very painful. Humans can slip and get injured. And vehicles can skid, slip and even lose balance making the matters worse. In this video, we can see vehicles skidding and not getting traction and control. Plus a few folks slipped including the host. One thing to be noted: Snow Tires and Snow Chains usage in India is not that much but may be, we could see more usage of them in the future. Locations : Near Manali, Himachal Pradesh, Northern Himalyan Part of India. Image is from a scene in the video. Video Link : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2LzIvRInag

There aren't many places in Australia where you need chains but there are some.

@JudyEv Many roads in Himalayas used to be inaccessible in winters till a few years back. With opening up, people are becoming more familiar with heavy snow and black ice problems. Snow chains aren't very well known in India.
