“I should look after the bike as if it were my own.” We expect nothing less from you, Noraly…walking the bike across the river crossing so you wouldn’t drop it, covering it, the wash…such a respectful person you are. AND besides your trip through the Himalays, Jaisalmer has got to be a favorite of mine in this series. Such a GORGEOUS place 😍
At this point, seeing what good publicity for RoyalEnfield that Noraly has garnered, I would think it would be appropriate to present her with the motorbike at the end of the trip,,,,,,,
I agree but expect the Royal Enfield factory will want to pull it apart, inside out, upside down. Perhaps they'll ship it to her when they've finished their research.@@TheIrishAmish
Noraly is a stranger to fear and self-doubt 🙂 I was worried for her on her wanderings on the narrow tracks near Jaisalmer...all alone in the desert. She is really amazing. A true living icon...a treasure. May your wanderings always bring you safely to interesting places.
I didn’t realize how diverse India was , way more there then I ever imagined. Some very cool architecture in the city and the fort looked like a good place to get lost . The Enfield is pretty quick for that type of bike and looks like it likes well .Thanks for sharing
It's way more complex than people think it is, within the same state the culture can be entirely different and the people and the geography too. For example take the state Rajasthan where Jaisalmer city (Golden City) is , it is entirely different from the other cities like Udaipur (white city), Jodhpur (Blue City), Jaipur (Pink city)
I believe India has only been united twice...once very long ago and under the British. They've only been united for the last 200yrs, and have a much longer history than that. Add in the fact that it's one of the biggest countries, and you get pretty diverse regions.
A city made from the sand of the surrounding desert. Everything was the same color except for the wonderful colors of cloths hanging in the breeze. The exterior carving work on the buildings was beautiful. The absence of glass and steel is great. Very educational video. Thank you.
Great observations. Sustainable living is a hep phrase today. But Indians have lived that way for 5000+ years. Recently i realised Starbucks in US serve yellow milk with turmeric as a new drink. Indians use turmeric milk as an antiseptic n cure for sore throats for centuries. Just one example.
Noraly never ceases to amaze. I thought she would stay in the Himalayas but it’s so nice to see her in the desert and the best thing about it is that she feels so much at home everywhere she goes. Love this series!
Another fabulous video and takes me back again to my happy days in India. I lived and worked there for 2 1/2 years and I called it home. I place I was heartbroken to leave. Your videos show it much as I remember but with faster roads and vehicles with the same dire driving standards. You’ve certainly adapted well especially in the madness of town traffic. Superb!
I’ve loved every adventure that you’ve taken us on, but I’m enjoying your Indian adventures the most. My gosh, I’ve never even imagined such beautiful scenery, and the architecture is absolutely amazing. Of course, the greatest treasure anywhere is its people, and the Indian people seem so full of the love of life and their fellow man. This lets me know that there is hope for humanity.
She does, the big modern cities are mostly the same all over world just chaotic. if one wants to experience the real India, it's like Noraly does, the samll towns and villages, local people and The wonders of the nature
@@amlanbhattacharjee9028 As a matter of fact,we northeast people knows better Indian side of discrimination towards us ,so you better don't try to cover it
Jaisalmer was one of the real highlights of our visit to India. It just has a different vibe from all the other cities we visited. Our hotel room was in the walls of the fort, and our window was one of those ornate porched balconies with comfy pillows where we could relax and enjoy the stunning views of the city and desert below. We also did a two-day camel safari out of Jaisalmer. It was an amazing experience. Hope I get to go back someday for more exploring. Thanks for bringing back those memories with your video.
If we could just keep our country clean, India would definitely become top tourist destination in the world. God knows when people are going to understand and when will Gov become strict and for once not think about their votes.
@@RomitDholakia5it's all about money, once INDIA becomes a developed country, people will have money and they will start thinking about it. Today people are busy In their own financial problems that's why they don't have time to think about making the country clean.
@@martin96991 are you serious? It does not take money to simply keep a plastic wrapper in your pockets or bag or purse or wherever and not throw it on streets. This has become a bad habit. I have seen well educated, US diploma holders, rich af Indians littering. Just a simple fine of ₹500 if implemented effectively can solve the problem but our vote hungry govs won't do it.
@@RomitDholakia5 I still thinks that it has to do a lot with money, most cities which are rich in INDIA are comparatively cleaner, because when people have money they can afford quality education,life and many other resources houses rather than tents on roadside, shops rather than stalls Which are one of the main reason of pollution...... it's my personal perspective.
What a special place, there’s something about those ancient Indian forts that activates some ancestral memory in me I can’t explain. This is a great series.
maybe you were a resident there in your past life.. who knows.. im an indian and i always get the same kind of feeling when i see those brown houses and deserts of afghanistan. it kinda feels familiar as if i have roamed around in the same landscape and streets. and this thing is going on since childhood . weird stuff but ir truly gives me goosebumps whenever i watch videos of rural afghanistan .
@@None12768are we the same lol. I get a similar feeling when I see old temples in the depths of our India and also the old cities in Syria and Afghanistan.
As I've said many times before, I eagerly await Wednesdays and Sundays to once again live vicariously thru Noraly. Her attitude, intellect, magnetic personality, and sense of adventure are the perfect blend for such a remarkable journey. There is nothing on UA-cam I more eagerly anticipate than Noraly's videos -- so very informative and entertaining.
RE should be proud of what you have achieved Noraly and that too on a pre production bike 👏👏👏 You should be the global brand ambassador for Himalayan 452, none the less. The way you are capturing the entire journey is amazing and heart warming.. Kudos and keep up the good work 👍 👍
She was the only person allowed to ride the bike before the global launch. She started when her hand was not completely healed, I would think that RE is taking very good care of her indeed. But she seems to have set her terms as well to be her.
I watched this video thrice...first for architecture, 2nd for all the 'Namastay and other conversations ' and third time skipped all music and loved the sound of the motorbike....just awesome sound .
Wow.. as a Carpenter and Biker I got to say this was a very special Episode for me! Very Beautifull Town & Lovely People and the Buildings are just superb 😍 Amazing India🙏🙏🙏
19:53 --- That 4-second fragment. The walk, the curious look, the outfit, the hair. Aww, double aww and an extra slice of double aww. Three pints of aww and a chaser of aww.
You are so amazing at making your travels through the narrow pathways, dodging cars, people, motorbikes, cattle, dogs, and traveling stores...look so easy. The buildings are works of art! Absolutely gorgeous fort, and view of the fort from your window in your luxury room. Great video, Noraly.
@@coolasta1987 I agree, having watched all her videos, starting in India until todays video, twice. Her abilities since her first video on Basanti have shown great confidence and experience.
Noraly never fails to surprise her viewers with her choice of ride destinations. But the Rat Temple for one was unique and one is not surprised to find her visiting it. We know by now that she does her research quite well. Its very entertaining to watch her navigate through the narrow by-lanes of Jaisalmer and to hear her interact with the locals. Seems like Noraly is fully enjoying the desert towns and their culture. From high altitude desert of Ladakh to the sandy plains of Thar , the journey with Itchy Boots has been amazingly diverse and lively. And at the end of each vlog one’s mind is tickled by the thought - what next ? Film-maker par excellence , ride on 👍
Often wonder how she does it. I think what could she possibly do next to keep the train rolling full steam ahead, entertaining, teaching, creating, and raising the bar, but she does it. Sometimes I hope she isn't stressing herself to satisfy us. Her content reminds me a bit of a marathon race. So many competitors (YT vloggers) and Noraly is leading the pack with everyone else trying their best to catch her but can't. Peace!
These videos are actually better than even a BBC documentary series. The first person perspective and direct interaction with people and the environment bring it as close as you can get to actually experiencing it yourself. Now if only it was in VR..!
19: 35: The name of this marvellous rajasthani instrument, home made, is "Ravanhatta" (or "Ravanhattha" ). Very glad you like this sound, Noraly. Thank you so much for your video.
Hi from NZ Noraly, I absolutely love this current series. Your cinematography is on a new level, also really enjoying your people interactions and sightseeing. My wife and I adore your wonderful episodes and your fearless adventurous spirit.
As an Indian, I feel ashamed to not have visited such a wonderful place.. Hope to ride to Jaisalmer some opportune day.. Thank you for sharing your adventure with us, Nora.. God bless..
We have so many beautiful places in our own country but still we go to foreign for showoff to others. That road seemed amazing,I am coming to India back this March..🙏
I've travelled quite a bit in India and loved it, after the initial culture shock. So sad though after watching your video that I didn't go to Jaisalmer. What a place! Fantastic tour, commentary and filming, as always. Thank you so much for taking us their.
What an amazing ride so typical of the ancient cities and citadels, but the palace and fortress what an impressive place. Thank you Noraly for showing us some fascinating places in your journeys. GO ITCHY BOOTS, GO ... 🏍🏍🏍
Kudos to you Noraly for staying calm in that chaotic traffic. I was anxious just watching you navigate those narrow streets. Thanks for taking me to all the places I will most likely never get to see in person.
I've never seen such architecture of those houses in Jaisalmer. So fascinating... Thanks for traveling, not 'where no man has travelled before,' but where a certain 'woman is prepared to go'!
Noraly has raised the bar more than a few notches regards to Motorcycle vlogging... Her channel here is like an immense treasure trove of raw adventure & an in-depth look at life behind the scenes from numerous places, cultures, people etc... Noraly.. you never cease to amaze us... Keep going... More power to you.. Cheers !! Stay Blessed.... ❤🎉🎉
The Himalayan sure has had quite a diverse assortment of roads and riding conditions for you to test in this series, Noraly. Looks like it has passed with flying colours, so far! And Bravo to you for being able to negotiate the Indian traffic!!
The cities and villages you share with us are just amazing! Plus, the people are kind and friendly. The palace appeared to be centuries old! The new Himalayan seems to be a great motorcycle! Thanks for sharing this day in your adventures with us! Ride safe Noraly!
Your tour of Jaiselmer brought back so many wonderful memories. I walked the same streets and climbed the same palace stairs some 20 years ago and nothing seems to have changed. Thank you so much for sharing your travels!
Your videos get more sublime every time. The quality of the editing and the hard work you put n to the whole adventure of life never ceases to increase my admiration of you
Another great video. The Indian architecture is amazing. What is also amazing is that without it seems, many rules and regulations, people move around freely and in harmony. Also, that many have a smattering of the English language. A left over from the colonial days. I look forward to your videos, Noraly. I admire your intrepid adventures into the unknown. Stay safe.
A perfect distillation of what I imagine is the most beautiful of Indian culture. The views from inside the fort .... wow. Lots of pretty lattice work, too. I loved today's tour, thank you.
So many bikes! Noraly really seemed to be in her natural element in this episode. Amazing how comfortable she appears riding on the opposite side of the road in that chaos. Awesome.
What a cool place, the homes were fantastic with all the detailed architecture. The amount of motorcycles really surprises me. You never disappoint Noraly!
Hallo Itchy Boots, ich freue mich über jedes Video. Bin ein absoluter Super Fan von Dir. Die 2 Millionen Marke schaffst Du ganz bestimmt. Das Zimmer war ja der Hammer. Die Videos aus Indien sind wunderschön. Pass auf Dich auf. Viel Spass noch .
What a truly wonderful and beautiful planet we have, I dearly hope mankind can get its act together and look after it. Keep going Itchy, looking forward to the next episode. You're certainly building up a lot of 'keeper' memories with your adventures, Thanks so much for sharing this one!
Now that's a really exotic and beautiful fort Noraly. Your adventurous spirit and personality just blows me away. It is such a pleasure to watch your videos. Lots of love from Gene in Tennessee.
19:30 wow what a legend this guy a musician, instrument maker and a conversationalist. Didn't expect him to suddenly start speaking in better English than 80% of the country. I am not calling him conversationalist because of the english speaking though(it's just another language), but the way he asked your name back and then pronounced it correctly is what made me say so. . Bdw, Rajasthani people are the most welcoming people amongst the Indians and are most open to other cultures. so probably they are the most welcoming on earth too, their soul song literally means "Welcome to our country". This is also reflected in their linguistic skill, I find from my practical experience that they are highly adept at picking up other languages and nuances of other cultures.
In this time of friction between cultures it is nice to see such a welcoming and accepting people. The Indian way of life is very different from the west but does not seem incompatible as others do.
Navigating the city alleys reminds me of your first season, when a lady helpfully pushed a cow out of your way so you could escape the alley to actually begin your journey. The blessing of Goddess Lakshmi, along with the mischievous tweak of the same. Your room - holy wow! It kind of happens everywhere you go - yep - the blessings of Lakshmi. 😁 And because of your own wonderful generosity of spirit, we all get to enjoy, as well! Ohhh...thank you so much for the sights, sounds, and explanations starting at 18:15. The palace interior is a bit like an Escher painting!
Fascinating fort but for me this episode was about the animals. Cows just casually sitting in the narrow roads, flocks of birds in the fort, dogs on raised patios. The best though was the goat ducking under the fence wire as you rode past. Thanks Noraly.
The more places in world you go the more places I want to go! You sure seem happy in India. Never would have made my list but now I so want to visit. Thanks for opening so many eyes to the beauty every Country seems to have.
I’ve been an adventure rider for many years and I watch a lot of UA-cam riders. And I like IB a lot, however I get so sick of the obsequious comments from people who don’t ride themselves and just want to gush over the fact that a woman is doing this. For what it’s worth I’ve known a few female riders who did it without eye liner, nail polish and the admiration of others. They did it for the buzz, the sheer fookoffness of an unpredictable life. Just for a moment imagine a great adventure…without documenting it. Now that’s something. That’s pure.
Not only is this THE BEST travelvlog but also THE BEST moto vlog & the best overall UA-cam channel out there. I recommend this to everyone from all backgrounds.
So wonderful to see this video. We have traveled to this area a few years ago, and visited the Fort - so much fun to see it again! Loved your riding through the maze of streets - the houses are indeed beautiful!
Jaisalmer is a spectacular city. Love the intricate carving on the buildings and the fort is amazing. Once again you have managed to find something interesting to share with us. Thank you Norally.
This is one of your better videos, showing landmarks,people food and ther'e culture.It's nice to see you slow down and smell the roses.I enjoyed this episode immensely.Keeping the bike clean makes maintenance easy and pleasurable. many Thanks and be safe
I love your Alaska and how well it did but I must say I am impressed by this Royal Enfield. The motor has plenty of grunt and never seems strained but always smooth. Has a pleasant sound too. Really incredible trip through the maze in the city and seeing the fort. Wow.
Truly. And the fact that the motorcycle did well in both the cold and freezing heights of Ladakh and the dry and humid climate of Rajasthan says something about it's quality.
You're a joy to watch, Noraly! You are having so much fun and your attitude certainly brings joy to many of us who are taggng along. Thank you!!! On UA-cam yesterday I watched an Indian rider on a highway take the new 452 up to 151 km/ hr! Impressive! ❤
Noraly, So glad you are revisiting India. What a diverse and fascinating country. And as usual, you meet some wonderful, friendly people. Today’s video was especially interesting in the city of Jaisalmer. Love watching you weave your way through the narrow streets and alleys. Amazing video. Cheers and ride safe. Dan ✌️🏍🇨🇦
So much to see in these videos, must watch multiple times. Getting quite a diverse education on India! Makes for great discussion at work. So happy you got a beautiful upgraded luxurious room because some of the rooms you have had over the years were at the opposite end of spectrum! The architectural detail in some of those buildings boggles the mind. Can anyone even do that today? Thank you for the hard work it takes to bring us enjoyment. Ride Safe, Peace, and God Bless! ❤❤❤
We can still, in fact Rajasthan is known for such talented artisans. The newly built biggest temple outside Asia is in New Jersey USA, the entire structure of rock is carved in this state of India. You can look it up 'The Akshardham Temple New Jersey'.
Great episode. Fantastic memories for me. I was there in 1999 and stayed as the first guests in a hotel in one of the turrets of the fort. Amazing place. The buildings, the gypsies ,the music! Ah thank you!
❤ No doubt about it.Noraly's UA-cam channel has everything that you're looking for; adventures, thrill, excitement and passion for discovering new places. I like the most is the interaction with locals.❤
Notaly’s interactions with the locals are generally positive and fun to watch. It is amazing how many countries and cultures she has encountered on her adventures!
OMG as an Indian i can't believe that Jaisalmer is so amazing like this. I never visited Jaisalmer and any other desert city bcz I have skin issue. Believe me dear i view so many videos and vlogs but not a single one show Jaisalmer like this, they always visit desert and show some cultural program and stay in desert or food. Thanks a lot dear such an amazing girl you are.
the colours, sights and sounds...it was a feast for the eyes...seems as though living in the barren desert has made the people imbibe all richer, colorful and ornate elements in their lives...such lovely golden mansions
140 kph = 87 mph which is excellent for a fully loaded bike of that size. I'm really lovin' your India series. Also chai is the best! I remember your tube change episode from Argentina. The buildings were very cool. It looked like the woman on the back of the scooter was holding on for dear life. A bike bigger than Basan2 would be a disadvantage for the streets you're riding. Great episode! Thanks, Noraly!
140 is ok but there are other bikes in that class like my ktm390 adventure and my mates bmw310 GS that we have both had over 160kph here in Australia whilst loaded up with luggage on multi day camping trips. And both those bikes are also made in India
@@anthonysimoes7307 hi mate. While I am not a professional or anything, Duke 390 ADV loves high rpms. It is not meant for low rpm/slow speeds is what I read/heard. It is a short stroke engine. So, no wonder you can hit 160 with that. It's 44bhp anyways. And it is much much lighter than Himalayan. That factor helps in speed. I do not have any idea about 310GS though. Cheers.
This is such a great episode give us a really good in-depth idea what some of the Indian cities look like and how they put them together. With the great architecture that is there!! Really great Video shots of the city and this Castle. Thanks soooo much!!
The palaces are enormous because they had their own standing armies, and probably because of the countless concubines, and the consequential offspring. Must have been tough for'em ! Quality content, as usual, ms Boots.
In India, one travels from one chai break to the next. The chai in every stop is different and special. It just keeps you going. I am delighted just to know that you love chai as much we do, although you did not grow up drinking it. Cheers!
Noraly you are amazing!! In one episode you tested the Himalayan on fast highway, desert sands and dense urban twisty streets!! You are the perfect road tester.
The carvings on the walls of the buildings...WOW. The Buildings themselves were impressive. The fort was amazing, but I loved the sight of the Indian woman riding side saddle on the scooter pillion through those narrow lanes.
Wauw India is so beautiful! What an amazing place and the fort is so big. Definitely a place I wanna visit in future. The way you lead us around is lovely. The place where you spend the night was really pretty ❤ So wonderful you are in India!!! Enjoy Noraly and stay safe ❤

Now if only it was in VR..!
BBC ,CNN ,NBC , MSNBC etc etc all are dangerous than Islam
I am really enjoying this series through India, so many beautiful places, buildings, and the people seem so lovely.
The way Noraly navigates through those narrow lanes of Jaisalmer, as if she was born there. Amazing ❤❤❤
19: 35: The name of this marvellous rajasthani instrument, home made, is "Ravanhatta" (or "Ravanhattha" ). Very glad you like this sound, Noraly.
Thank you so much for your video.
The Indian Bureau of Tourism would love this coverage. Its fantastic
Hi from NZ Noraly, I absolutely love this current series. Your cinematography is on a new level, also really enjoying your people interactions and sightseeing. My wife and I adore your wonderful episodes and your fearless adventurous spirit.
As an Indian, I feel ashamed to not have visited such a wonderful place.. Hope to ride to Jaisalmer some opportune day.. Thank you for sharing your adventure with us, Nora.. God bless..
We have so many beautiful places in our own country but still we go to foreign for showoff to others.
That road seemed amazing,I am coming to India back this March..🙏
Well, I have never been to anywhere outside India 😅, I just love my place here in the country to go anywhere and probably a bit lazy too
The architecture in that city was fantastic, topped with a fort on top of the hill just looked fantastic like something out of a film set.
Absolutely aMAZEing! Thanks Noraly for taking us along!
I've travelled quite a bit in India and loved it, after the initial culture shock. So sad though after watching your video that I didn't go to Jaisalmer. What a place!
Fantastic tour, commentary and filming, as always. Thank you so much for taking us their.
What an amazing ride so typical of the ancient cities and citadels, but the palace and fortress what an impressive place. Thank you Noraly for showing us some fascinating places in your journeys.
GO ITCHY BOOTS, GO ... 🏍🏍🏍
Yes, a wash and check the air filter.
India is so beautiful. I thoroughly enjoy the music, the people, the culture, the architecture, and the food.
Kudos to you Noraly for staying calm in that chaotic traffic. I was anxious just watching you navigate those narrow streets. Thanks for taking me to all the places I will most likely never get to see in person.
I've never seen such architecture of those houses in Jaisalmer. So fascinating... Thanks for traveling, not 'where no man has travelled before,' but where a certain 'woman is prepared to go'!
Noraly has raised the bar more than a few notches regards to Motorcycle vlogging... Her channel here is like an immense treasure trove of raw adventure & an in-depth look at life behind the scenes from numerous places, cultures, people etc... Noraly.. you never cease to amaze us... Keep going... More power to you.. Cheers !! Stay Blessed.... ❤🎉🎉
أنتي إمرأة قوية نورالي رغم الصعوبات والتحديات في السفر دائما الابتسامة منك تجعلني أنتظر كل ڤيديو جديد تحياتي لك من المغرب❤🇲🇦🇲🇦
The Himalayan sure has had quite a diverse assortment of roads and riding conditions for you to test in this series, Noraly.
Looks like it has passed with flying colours, so far!
And Bravo to you for being able to negotiate the Indian traffic!!
The cities and villages you share with us are just amazing! Plus, the people are kind and friendly. The palace appeared to be centuries old! The new Himalayan seems to be a great motorcycle! Thanks for sharing this day in your adventures with us! Ride safe Noraly!
India has the most number of heritage sites. But do we fund and maintain them? No
The fort was laid down in 12th century, it grew afterwards.
Your tour of Jaiselmer brought back so many wonderful memories. I walked the same streets and climbed the same palace stairs some 20 years ago and nothing seems to have changed. Thank you so much for sharing your travels!
Your videos get more sublime every time. The quality of the editing and the hard work you put n to the whole adventure of life never ceases to increase my admiration of you
Another great video. The Indian architecture is amazing. What is also amazing is that without it seems, many rules and regulations, people move around freely and in harmony. Also, that many have a smattering of the English language. A left over from the colonial days. I look forward to your videos, Noraly. I admire your intrepid adventures into the unknown. Stay safe.
Knowing a bit of English has more to do with the numerous tourists that go to Rajasthan. It is one of the most preferred destinations in India.
I'd like to give a double "thumbs up" on this episode. Loved the palace, the homes, the people.
A perfect distillation of what I imagine is the most beautiful of Indian culture. The views from inside the fort .... wow. Lots of pretty lattice work, too. I loved today's tour, thank you.
So many bikes! Noraly really seemed to be in her natural element in this episode. Amazing how comfortable she appears riding on the opposite side of the road in that chaos. Awesome.
What a cool place, the homes were fantastic with all the detailed architecture. The amount of motorcycles really surprises me. You never disappoint Noraly!
I travelled to Jaisalmer back in the 1980s and watching this video has brought back many happy memories of the place. Keep up the good work Noraly!
can't recognize the place any more
Hallo Itchy Boots, ich freue mich über jedes Video. Bin ein absoluter Super Fan von Dir. Die 2 Millionen Marke schaffst Du ganz bestimmt. Das Zimmer war ja der Hammer. Die Videos aus Indien sind wunderschön. Pass auf Dich auf. Viel Spass noch .
What a truly wonderful and beautiful planet we have, I dearly hope mankind can get its act together and look after it. Keep going Itchy, looking forward to the next episode. You're certainly building up a lot of 'keeper' memories with your adventures, Thanks so much for sharing this one!
Love the Rajasthan…Jaisalmer was spectacular…such beautiful contrasts of sand coloured structures and vibrant clothing.
Magnifique, j’adore tes vidéos, très beaux voyages, bon voyage ❤ 23:59. Canada Québec ❤
Definitely one of my all time favourite episodes. Very diverse in it’s subject matter. 🤩
Now that's a really exotic and beautiful fort Noraly. Your adventurous spirit and personality just blows me away. It is such a pleasure to watch your videos. Lots of love from Gene in Tennessee.
19:30 wow what a legend this guy a musician, instrument maker and a conversationalist. Didn't expect him to suddenly start speaking in better English than 80% of the country. I am not calling him conversationalist because of the english speaking though(it's just another language), but the way he asked your name back and then pronounced it correctly is what made me say so. . Bdw, Rajasthani people are the most welcoming people amongst the Indians and are most open to other cultures. so probably they are the most welcoming on earth too, their soul song literally means "Welcome to our country". This is also reflected in their linguistic skill, I find from my practical experience that they are highly adept at picking up other languages and nuances of other cultures.
I've noticed the same with other desert dwellers like in Mauritania, Africa.
In this time of friction between cultures it is nice to see such a welcoming and accepting people. The Indian way of life is very different from the west but does not seem incompatible as others do.
I think it’s because there is no homogeneity in India. People are just used to living and letting others live without imposing themselves on others.
@@shantanushekharsjunerft9783absolutely 💯 % agreed 👍 👏 👌
Navigating the city alleys reminds me of your first season, when a lady helpfully pushed a cow out of your way so you could escape the alley to actually begin your journey. The blessing of Goddess Lakshmi, along with the mischievous tweak of the same.
Your room - holy wow! It kind of happens everywhere you go - yep - the blessings of Lakshmi. 😁 And because of your own wonderful generosity of spirit, we all get to enjoy, as well! Ohhh...thank you so much for the sights, sounds, and explanations starting at 18:15. The palace interior is a bit like an Escher painting!
Fascinating fort but for me this episode was about the animals. Cows just casually sitting in the narrow roads, flocks of birds in the fort, dogs on raised patios. The best though was the goat ducking under the fence wire as you rode past. Thanks Noraly.
You have inspired me! Currently in the western Sahara! India in February!
That palace gave me definite Mc Escher vibes! With all those stairs and arches seemingly going everywhere...
The more places in world you go the more places I want to go! You sure seem happy in India. Never would have made my list but now I so want to visit. Thanks for opening so many eyes to the beauty every Country seems to have.
Another adventure! I needed this today. Amazing country, amazing people.
I’ve been an adventure rider for many years and I watch a lot of UA-cam riders. And I like IB a lot, however I get so sick of the obsequious comments from people who don’t ride themselves and just want to gush over the fact that a woman is doing this. For what it’s worth I’ve known a few female riders who did it without eye liner, nail polish and the admiration of others. They did it for the buzz, the sheer fookoffness of an unpredictable life. Just for a moment imagine a great adventure…without documenting it. Now that’s something. That’s pure.
The architecture is unreal. Makes you wonder how they built this 1000 years ago with no power tools. Thanks for sharing!
The temples in the Jaisalmer City is even more impressive. People still build these structures.
They still use the same methods today. Lots of people and many hands.
Not only is this THE BEST travelvlog but also THE BEST moto vlog & the best overall UA-cam channel out there. I recommend this to everyone from all backgrounds.
13:00 Noraly is a true master of riding the highways, sand tracks, city street traffic-alleys-streets like a local biker!!
So wonderful to see this video. We have traveled to this area a few years ago, and visited the Fort - so much fun to see it again! Loved your riding through the maze of streets - the houses are indeed beautiful!
Loved the tour through Jaisalmer! Your respect for the bike shows the depth of your character.❤
Jaisalmer is a spectacular city. Love the intricate carving on the buildings and the fort is amazing. Once again you have managed to find something interesting to share with us. Thank you Norally.
That was a fantastic video, all the sights and sounds, chaos and culture compressed into 20 minutes. We can see that you are truly at home in India.
What beautiful Architecture! Thanks for showing me India!
This is one of your better videos, showing landmarks,people food and ther'e culture.It's nice to see you slow down and smell the roses.I enjoyed this episode immensely.Keeping the bike clean makes maintenance easy and pleasurable. many Thanks and be safe
I love your Alaska and how well it did but I must say I am impressed by this Royal Enfield. The motor has plenty of grunt and never seems strained but always smooth. Has a pleasant sound too. Really incredible trip through the maze in the city and seeing the fort. Wow.
Truly. And the fact that the motorcycle did well in both the cold and freezing heights of Ladakh and the dry and humid climate of Rajasthan says something about it's quality.
You're a joy to watch, Noraly! You are having so much fun and your attitude certainly brings joy to many of us who are taggng along. Thank you!!! On UA-cam yesterday I watched an Indian rider on a highway take the new 452 up to 151 km/ hr! Impressive! ❤
The motorcycle is but a tool to take you to such fascinating locals. I do love the R. E. Himalayan
Noraly, So glad you are revisiting India. What a diverse and fascinating country. And as usual, you meet some wonderful, friendly people. Today’s video was especially interesting in the city of Jaisalmer. Love watching you weave your way through the narrow streets and alleys. Amazing video. Cheers and ride safe. Dan ✌️🏍🇨🇦
♥️🇮🇳
So much to see in these videos, must watch multiple times. Getting quite a diverse education on India! Makes for great discussion at work. So happy you got a beautiful upgraded luxurious room because some of the rooms you have had over the years were at the opposite end of spectrum! The architectural detail in some of those buildings boggles the mind. Can anyone even do that today? Thank you for the hard work it takes to bring us enjoyment. Ride Safe, Peace, and God Bless! ❤❤❤
We can still, in fact Rajasthan is known for such talented artisans. The newly built biggest temple outside Asia is in New Jersey USA, the entire structure of rock is carved in this state of India. You can look it up 'The Akshardham Temple New Jersey'.
The videos that make my life happy, thank you once again Noraly for such excellent work and allowing us to be part of your adventures, take care
Great episode. Fantastic memories for me. I was there in 1999 and stayed as the first guests in a hotel in one of the turrets of the fort. Amazing place. The buildings, the gypsies ,the music! Ah thank you!
❤ No doubt about it.Noraly's UA-cam channel has everything that you're looking for; adventures, thrill, excitement and passion for discovering new places. I like the most is the interaction with locals.❤
Notaly’s interactions with the locals are generally positive and fun to watch. It is amazing how many countries and cultures she has encountered on her adventures!
@@WillysPerformanceCycleCtr She is an extraordinary woman. We are so lucky finding her channel and learning, enjoying her adventure. Thank you!
The only channel I hit the like button before even seeing the video. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us Noraly 💚
Noraly is an adventure to follow. Genuine human interacting with our planet and species🙏🏻🇨🇦
OMG as an Indian i can't believe that Jaisalmer is so amazing like this. I never visited Jaisalmer and any other desert city bcz I have skin issue. Believe me dear i view so many videos and vlogs but not a single one show Jaisalmer like this, they always visit desert and show some cultural program and stay in desert or food.
Thanks a lot dear such an amazing girl you are.
the colours, sights and sounds...it was a feast for the eyes...seems as though living in the barren desert has made the people imbibe all richer, colorful and ornate elements in their lives...such lovely golden mansions
Bike looks ideal for this trip - fascinating to see parts of India off the regular tourist trails
It is a really amazing city, with such intricate artwork everywhere.
140 kph = 87 mph which is excellent for a fully loaded bike of that size. I'm really lovin' your India series. Also chai is the best! I remember your tube change episode from Argentina. The buildings were very cool. It looked like the woman on the back of the scooter was holding on for dear life. A bike bigger than Basan2 would be a disadvantage for the streets you're riding. Great episode! Thanks, Noraly!
I was waiting for her to fly off too!
It can still do more around 150 to 160 you just have to stretch it more on a free Highway
140 is ok but there are other bikes in that class like my ktm390 adventure and my mates bmw310 GS that we have both had over 160kph here in Australia whilst loaded up with luggage on multi day camping trips. And both those bikes are also made in India
@@anthonysimoes7307 hi mate. While I am not a professional or anything, Duke 390 ADV loves high rpms. It is not meant for low rpm/slow speeds is what I read/heard. It is a short stroke engine. So, no wonder you can hit 160 with that. It's 44bhp anyways. And it is much much lighter than Himalayan. That factor helps in speed.
I do not have any idea about 310GS though.
Cheers.
@@anthonysimoes7307 Do you know the service intervals for these three bikes?
showcasing India at its best! 👏👏👏Thanks for taking us along.
Un MERCI de France pour cette très belle virée ! Bonne route et prudence !
I WAS ONCE A RESIDENT OF LAMU TOWN AND OLD MOMBASA TOWN IN KENYA. THE SWAHILI CULTURE HAS SIMILAR STRUCTURES LIKE WHAT HAVE SEEEN IN THE VIDEO. WOOOOW
This is such a great episode give us a really good in-depth idea what some of the Indian cities look like and how they put them together. With the great architecture that is there!! Really great Video shots of the city and this Castle. Thanks soooo much!!
The palaces are enormous because they had their own standing armies, and probably because of the countless concubines, and the consequential offspring. Must have been tough for'em ! Quality content, as usual, ms Boots.
On the sandy tracks, your riding skills show out. Well-learned in the Kalahari, Baja and Sahara deserts.
Always Best Wishes and Safe travels! 🙏💖🏍🤠
Wow, India is incredibly cool, but the cities seem so hectic! Great video series, Noraly, and such a great city to explore.
Hallo Noraly,
Wij genieten volop van je avonturen in India.
Met dank en hartelijke groeten,
Jan.
In India, one travels from one chai break to the next. The chai in every stop is different and special. It just keeps you going. I am delighted just to know that you love chai as much we do, although you did not grow up drinking it. Cheers!
Noraly you are amazing!! In one episode you tested the Himalayan on fast highway, desert sands and dense urban twisty streets!! You are the perfect road tester.
Quel plaisir de vous suivre le bonjour de la France ❤
The carvings on the walls of the buildings...WOW. The Buildings themselves were impressive. The fort was amazing, but I loved the sight of the Indian woman riding side saddle on the scooter pillion through those narrow lanes.
Wauw India is so beautiful! What an amazing place and the fort is so big. Definitely a place I wanna visit in future.
The way you lead us around is lovely. The place where you spend the night was really pretty ❤
So wonderful you are in India!!! Enjoy Noraly and stay safe ❤
