The pics are of Rohtang pass. I recognized the place as soon as I saw the shots cause I myself was there around 2 months back. Lovely Place and you will be surprised to hear this man but Altos loaded with 5-6 people were easily making it to the top and yes the road does get steep at times. Many cars broke down including our own(indgo) , however luckily we just had a flat tyre . The view was breathtaking and one of the most memorable trips of my life.

A wild car and even wilder location. Simply awesome. Thanks for sharing those pictures, that's stunning country.

Lovely and stunning pics.This needs real true grit to conquer the Himalayas.

Awesome pics man.. Truly amazing.. If I am correct this is a direct import and not bought from showroom in India, since in India only two engines are offered Xdrive 5.0i and Xdrive 3.0d.
If you dont mind can you pm me the price and the process because my friend wants to buy it but is not happy with the engine lineup. Based on your info he might get it via import route.

You have done a great thing by taking your car there mate. If you own a car of such monumental capabitlities and you are keeping it protected just because it is expensive, i think its pretty much a waste buying the machine.

The Roads are plain stupid to go any further than Kufri.

They are too narrow.
