Their journey, which takes them from Manali towards Jaisalmer, has garnered attention online. The pair, encountered by Indian solo traveller and content creator Vishal while traveling from Tabo to Kaza, were spotted driving a brightly colored auto-rickshaw through the region's rugged roads and high-altitude terrain. The tourists appeared comfortable with their chosen mode of transport and were reportedly traveling across India in the three-wheeler, documenting their adventure from Manali through Himachal Pradesh to Rajasthan.",
