How to Cross a River

So, this is something scary. Actually locks more scary inside the car than on photos.
In Khushuut I wanted to cross the River. The old wooden bridge however was under construction. Everyone around however said you can cross the river by car and your Land Rover should do it the easy way. However the whole thing looked crazy and I wasn’t sure how good everything is sealed, even with the raised air intake mounted. Up to 700-800mm would be the maximum in a really worse case scenario. But I really did not want to risk the engine so I organized a truck to pull me to the other side. The Engine was of course off! In the end I probably could have done the crossing depth-wise but the ice on the other side would have been a very very tough climb.
