We motorcycled a 1000 KM's across the Himalayas
Day one of our 1000km 5 day journey we travelled 140km from Leh, the capital of Ladakh, to Nubra Valley crossing Kardung La pass at 5359 meters.
Khardung La pass used to be the worlds highest motorable pass, almost the same height as Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Everest Basecamp. Today it is the 11th highest with the highest also in Ladakh at 5799 Meters.
We are not experienced bikers and driving they tight cornered single lane passes with big army trucks passing you grinded my nerves but an experience that is unmatched.
The scenic views of the towering mountains, green valleys, decorated trucks, incredible locals and spiritual grace of the mountains on the way to the highest altitude cold desert of Nubra Valley tamed the nerves. Double hump backed camels, archery, Swiss camp tents and a night around the fire in the peaceful Nubra Valley was the best way to end off the first day on the road.

thanks for calling tibet as tibet as it is tibet not china, respect for you
Thank you for watching! 🤗 we had some great friends there who taught us well :)
India is very diverse country it has everything forests deserts beaches high snow mountains and ancient architectures and spirituality
What a special place! 🤗
Please come to arunachal pradesh
@@KinfolkTravelsplease visit northeast India ❤
And don't forget kashmir ✨
Of course I am sure nobody will tell u about a desert made by white sand...which is a unique place in this world....😅(world has many desert is made by yellow sand not like this one😊 )
This the view of a developing nation ,when my India will develop it will look more beautiful and sustainable than today..😊😊
I’ve heard from somebody when we were there how much it has just developed in the last few years and how far it has come so quickly.
So I do believe India is just going to get better and better day by day. It has such smart, hardworking, supportive and kind people, just look at the moon landing on the south the other day.
I just hope the culture and traditions remain in its full glory as well 🤗
@@KinfolkTravels wow, so beautiful and positive words ❤
@@KinfolkTravelsyes this growing is only due to cirre t government.
ABD has literally become Nokia.... connecting people 🇮🇳🇿🇦
I laughed so hard at that now. That’s good 😂😂😂
Thanks to the BRO for building roads 🫡..
Ahhhhhh BRO! I’ve forgotten about that, I love all the boards along the road from them 🤗
Absolute fact, otherwise many of those areas would have stayed unexplored and undeveloped. But at the same time, there are some undesirable results from development also, for example plastic waste disposal!
Watching my beautiful country from your eyes is really nice soon after graduation i will also start traveling
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!! ☺️
You have a stunning country. Best of luck with your studies and safe travels! 🤗
Welcome to the oldest surviving Civilization on Earth with recent archaeological evidence of human remains from Rakhigarhi(Indus Valley civilization town) points to it being 7k-8k years old.
Earlier the safest estimate of Indus Valley Civilization was 5k but now it's another 3k years older.
If you take into account the Epics of The Ramayana and The Mahabharata then it's anywhere between 15k-20k years old.
Very interesting, thank you for sharing this ☺️
South Africa = A B De villiers

Hahahaha, it was the funniest thing. Literally everywhere. 😂

This reminded me of my trip to Leh 😍... Thanks!! And yeah loved ur video. . . Lovely.
Ahhhh I’m so glad this could bring back some good memories 🥹
Thank you for watching and glad you enjoyed it 🤗
The road conditions is not so good due to some reasons. Primary reason is indirectly tourism. Like people bisit here for adventurous bike riding if all roads will be ok, who honna come. A local once said to me
Hahahaha that’s quite interesting. It was kind of nice that some of the roads were good and other parts were more offroad adventurous and thrilling. I’ve never thought of it that way.
Still blown away though by how good some of the roads were so high up in the middle of nowhere. Really impressive infrastructure.
Try Tawang, Arunachal Pradesh sometime later it’s in the North East part of India
Have heard so many great things about the North East! Can’t wait to!
@@KinfolkTravels hi if you plan to visit Tawang with motorcycle, take Guwahati to balemu road route and rest in Dirang and next day go to Tawang . Btw I live near balemu near Bhutan border
*best wishes , be safe n healthy*
Thank you!! You too 🤗
Love Himalayas and the Himalayan!

Thank you for watching 🤗
Amazing come to goa dude ❤
I want to! Have heard great things!
90 dollars per month? That's a bit of exaggeration. An Indian labour in general earns around 250-300 dollars in a month.
That’s what the people there told us 🤷🏼♀️
@KinfolkTravels ok, I think they meant the extra they get paid, for working in hardship location.
Having said so, there me instances of exploitation. We never know.
Could be, they said it’s very little money for what they do.
50k plus view nd 3k around subscribers not fair.. 🌸 give thm some love
Thank you!!!! Agree 🤗❤️

18:10 i like when she say india and tibet not china good free tibet may dalai lama return to his place

Loved your vlog ❤
Yayyy!!! Thank you for subscribing and watching! Really glad you enjoyed it 🤗
Hi beautiful video. I was planning Ladakh trip with renting motorbike but I was reading that you cannot self drive to the sightseeings such as Nubra valley or Pangong cause the local taxi drivers get aggressive. You have to go only with tour. Did you heard anything about it while there? I will greatly appreciate any insight :)
Hi! There was a lot of people that we saw doing the bike trip that weren’t in a tour but they were all Indians. So it is easier if you are Indian and can speak the language.
You can visit Nubra valley and Pangong lake on your own, you just need the correct permits. Make sure you get them
In Leh and then you shouldn’t have problems. If you don’t have them you won’t be allowed to go through the different security checks.
We didn’t use taxis or see any so I can’t testify to that but the people of Ladakh are incredibly kind. So I can’t imagine them being aggressive, unless it’s people from other areas in India that work in Ladakh for the season.
But to be honest never saw a taxi. Only busses and the people are locals so very nice.
Hope you can make the trip and have the best time 🤗
Do you experience how well you are being treated in India because you are our guests.But the sad part is when Indians are very nicer to the foreigners , they are not nicer to us when we go to their countries like uk us South Africa etc etc .They treat us like third class citizens everywhere 😢
I can’t agree more and it is really sad.
I’ve seen this over and over time and time again with a few different places. Similar to Turkey or other middle eastern countries where they treat foreigners with such kindness but when they are foreigners in other countries they don’t get treated with respect. India as well
And even some Asian countries.
I’m really really sorry about this. More people should get out of their bubbles.
What the fuck are you taking about dude I don't think you have ever visited anywhere,
And stop being a baby about it
Why cry in the comment section lol
if u want to raft , u should visit rishikesh .
Thank you for the recommendation looks beautiful! What time of year would be best to river raft there?
@@KinfolkTravels April and may will be best , and avoid in June because of huge tourists inflow ,,and also avoid after June specially Himalayan states as monsoon hits hard in hilly states.
Visit Munnar please if you haven't.
That looks so beautiful! Tea plantations?
@kTravels Yea along with the rolling hills , would advise you to ride on the gap roads and experience the beauty of Munnar
I have done 1300 km ride on bike in 3 days
😵💫😵💫😵💫
What!? That is insane!
Where did you do that? You must have been so tired afterwards. 😅
When you visiting rajasthan
We were there :)
But mostly only in Jaipur and Ranthambore.
There’s three videos of our time there:

@KinfolkTravels if you have plan to visit Udaipur, I would be your host and give you tour.
@@NikhilPanchal-ct3cv that would be amazing! We wanted to visit but we ran of out of time.
It’s the favorite city of our hosts in Jaipur so when we back again wed love to visit. :)
Please send me your mail here / you can send it to ilke@ikopia.co.za and we make some plans 😬
@KinfolkTravels udaipur is known as the city of lakes and Venice of the east. That's why I highly recommended you guys. I don't use email usually but If you have plan to visit I will give you my number and I will host you at my home.
That would be lovely thank you 🤗
You go boys
Yeah!
Can u please tell where did u get the map at 0:09 sec mark?
Hi!
On Canva :)
It was late but worth it 😂😂
Sooooo worth it! 🍾
Have u visited Manali, dharmshala
Nooooo, but want to! You enjoyed those places?
@@KinfolkTravels my hometown
The volume level is too different for when you talk and that music. It pains the ears. Try to keep both at same volume.
Thank you for the feedback. ☺️
It’s however not that easy when filming an active adventure like this in a very uncontrolled environment.
Using an iPhone, insta360, GoPro, and a rode they all have different mics with different quality. Adding natural environment on a bike, wind, altitude etc etc it’s quite hard getting levels the same 😅 and then a different one again for voiceovers recorded while traveling and not in a studio or perfect environment.
Thank you for the feedback something are working on to improve. Sound is a very hard thing to get right. And adding uncontrolled and different environments on it you need some really good gear or a sound engineer to get it really good.
I have an immense respect for sound engineers they are insane! 👏🏼
Come to kerala
Next time I want to! ☺️
U must visit the NORTH EAST PART OF INDIA , that is full of with greenary and mountains
I want to!! On the list ⛰️
its mandatory to blow horns in India especially around the corners otherwise people will scold u
Best for safety!
Where y'all from
South Africa 🇿🇦
Wait 2 to 3 year... You dont have to hire any agency... It will be safe enough for you guys to tavel alone...
Btw did you said petrol smells good...? 🤨
Ah that’s great to know. I think for experienced drivers it’s safe enough to do now as well. :) we are just not everyday bikers :)
Petrol smell 😍I did! :)
Visit varanasi
I want to. Heard magical things about it!
Har Har Mahadev 💪🙏❤
i subscribed, please feed stray animals.
Yay! Thank you so much, really appreciate it!!
Love your profile picture 🥺
I thought i was watching itchy boots
Hahaha, ill take that as a compliment. That girl is insane! So much respect for her 💪🏼
Try following valleys in himachal pradesh ,you will definately enjoy the trip and it will boost your channel too
1)kangra
2)kullu
3)solang
4)parvati
5)spiti
Best months are march to june ,temperature ranges from 10 to25 degree celsius
Thank you for this!
I think i’ve actually only heard of Spiti before. The others are new to me so thank you so much for sharing!
I’m definitely adding them to the list to check out.
Does it get a lot warmer after June?
@@KinfolkTravelsSpiti Valley Temperature during the summer, on average, is 15 degrees Celsius during the day, and at night, it can be 4 to 6 degrees Centigrade.
Ah ohkay, that’s good!! I like that it doesn’t get too hot!
I'm against people casually going through these roads. These are really difficult and only experts should goup these roads. One miss and you are fried.
100% agreed. This is not an adventure to take lightly or just jump on.
That’s why we opted to do it in an organized tour with a guy in the front and one in the back for incase anything happens and that can guide us on the roads with their incredible knowledge.
Also why I opted to be on the back of the bike, Jared has driven bikes before so is comfortable with it, but not regularly and nothing to this extend.
People should also be careful because it’s long days so you do get tired and you have to stay 110% focused so you have to be comfortable with a bike.
I was about to report the video for showing wrong map at 0:09 but left by disliking only .
You should learn to respect the country you are travelling .
Hope this is mistake not done intentionally and correct in further videos.
Hey! Thank you for watching and sharing how this made you feel appreciate it.
I didnt notice it was an incorrect map, got it from stock footage site that I use and was under the impression it would be up to date. I’m sorry if it offended you. May I ask if it is the Pakistan India border that is not updated on this map?
Thank you
@@KinfolkTravels it was India Pakistan and China border known as kashmir and ladakh region ...at the start you shown right map bt seconds later it was wrong .
You are so kind that you recognized this mistake... loving your content.
All the best 👍
Ahhh I see, thank you for pointing that out. Really appreciate it, so we all learn.
That map doesn’t have names on so I didn’t easily pickup it up with just the border lines. ☺️
Good luck happy journey love form india ❤
Thank you so much! ❤️🇮🇳
People working here are from india what does that even means...?
Who else going to work in india chinese...?
Yes, Chinese of Bangladesh.
I THINK she may forget the fact that India has biggest labour force just like or >China
@@KinfolkTravels😂😂lol Chinese of bangladesh..what does that even mean?
Hi I just want to say we have enough labour force in India..
@@bishalghaley I’m sure you have enough labour force. It’s just in many other countries we’ve been to a lot of the construction work is being imported from other countries such as China because the tenders for these projects are won by China or other companies from other foreign countries.
So it was interesting and pretty cool that India keeps a lot of its construction projects local and that the projects are done by India and Indian labour.
These days you don’t see that often for big projects.
@@KinfolkTravels Basically india and china have not that much good relation that we take help from china for construction , and thats good for india i think
800 dollar, thats 64000 inr. thats some way to get scammed lol 🤦😅
You can definitely do it cheaper yourself. ☺️
But we opted to pay a bit more and feel safe with people that know the roads, the area and can support us along the way as we are not regular bikers nor do we know the area or the language.
I don’t think $800 for 2 people on an organized tour including bike, petrol, accommodation, meals, support vehicle etc etc is a rip off tough…
What do others think?
@@KinfolkTravelsit's not high but reasonable for Ladakh tour where everything is expensive as compare to mainland India
I think you went with company wihich only caters to foreigners ( you) . That's fair but there are plenty of such companies that are safe and less pricey but inaccessible to foreigners@@KinfolkTravels
