Motorcycle Diaries : Tour of Bhutan Part 1 : PowerDrift
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- Life at PowerDrift is a mixed bag of people, experiences, skills, and ofcourse a lot of exciting machines! The one thing that connects us with each other is the passion - The passion for machines, for travel and for filming. In this mission you will see two new characters:
Atul Haldankar, an HR professional by education, and a timelapse cinematographer at heart but more importantly a Riding Enthusiast and an avid Motorcycle builder & tuner.
Siddhart Dugha, our relentless cinematographer, who is also our make shift tripod and the occasional drone, but more importantly, a passionate traveler, a musician and a riding junkie.
This is their story. The Tour of Bhutan.

What on Earth!! bloody hell +PowerDrift !! The video and the music got better and better with every passing second! Eyegasm! Eargasm! Goosebumps! Can't bloody wait for the next part!
Haha awesome! We promise to make your wait worthwhile.
A royal enfield,, long roads,, and a scenic location!!! it just cant get better.... Osm video... Hi5 fo u!!!!
*High 5*
It has been a fact that PD's greatest assets was the cinematography... This video just exemplifies the pure genius behind the camera... I'm short of words after watching this for 3 times now... Hats off to both Atul and Sid... Waiting eagerly for the next video...
+Jithin Gopal They truly deserve a round of applause for this one. Don't forget the edit team who sat through 600gb of data and stitched this together :D We're glad you enjoyed this tour. We'll be coming back with part 2 real soon! :)
+PowerDrift My Bad I forgot the edit team... they indeed add meaning and story to all these visuals... kudos to them too...
that timelapse is simply mesmerizing!! Bhutan you are in my wet dreams too... ;)
thank u pd for such inspiring motorcycle diaries!! Cheers!!
Haha, just wait for the Part 2 then. You might just get up & leave for Bhutan after that.
Superb timelape shots......amazing
Whaaaaaaat! Who in the heavens directs these! Totally love the time lapses! Huge fan! Huge huge fan! +PowerDrift
Thanks Hrishi. Stay tuned, part 2 will be coming out soon
Waiting since ages. I love this. Hooked! 😍👌
Boy oh boy! Folks at +PowerDrift, you all guys have done a mesmerising video. An amazing piece of art indeed! And the way the entire video slows down from 3:47 with the Continental GT firing up the engine and beaming its lights, man that's "SERENDIPITY". Can't get more serene than this👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK GUYS👍🏻
Thank you for all the kind words +Ayaan Borkotoky, comments like these inspire us to experiment and do more! We are glad you enjoyed this one. How many repeat views yet ;) ?
Whoaa!!! Speechless!! I'm a huge sucker for such picturesque views!! That's nature at it's best and so brilliantly shot!! :)
Rule for riding "Don't honk in Bhutan". That must be a very difficult for Indians to follow. LOL PowerDrift quote: "Bhutan landscape is a photographers wet dream". Wow! Thanks for the subscripts in English.
Guys you people have amazing crew, everyone is amazing ... Hope to welcome you guys to Nepal as well... (Excited for part 2,34....)
Breathtaking. Literally. I was watching this when going to work today morning. I said to myself "What the F I am doing here... I should be there" Great Video guys!
Thank you Rishikesh. Do share the video ahead
how can people put a thumbs down on this video ??😨
it's an amazing place and an amazing timelapse video !!
Like they say, haters will always hate ;)
We hope you hit the like button though!
PowerDrift what's the song name 4.00
I read someone commenting on one of ur videos that u guys are Grand Tour of India and I completely agree with that.. what great editing and that song.. truly amazing..👍👍
Awesomeness at it's best that's the only thing I can say about the video .. Time lapse shots are out of this world and editing of video is just amazing.. you guys made Bhutan look more beautiful than it is .... Bhutan Tourism should use this video to promote them ;) .... Last but not the least the soundtrack just nailed it ... BTW which soundtrack is that ?
+Prashant Singh in all honesty Bhutan is way more picturesque than captured here, you should visit. Bhutan Tourism has a lot of promotional materials this pales in comparison. Don't get me wrong this is a very nice video of their ride from Phuntsholing to Paro which is just the tip of the iceberg as just an entry into the real Bhutan, travel furthur and your mind will be blown away. Please google places like Phobjikha, Bumthang, Ura etc etc .... namestay _()_
+Karma Wangchuk I am sure it is beautiful that shown in video.. It's just an expression of appraising the work done with the video :)... I am planning a trip to Bhutan end of this year thanks for the suggestions of places :)
You guys are really pushing the limits of cinematography here. And with gorgeous motorcycles in the frame! I think there is still hope for filmmakers in this country. Thank you for all that you do, guys! Amazing stuff.
+Subhom Mitra *Eyes Rolling* #MuchLove
MOst beautiful thing i ever seen on youtube !!!
GUYS! Oh My God. What the heaven was that??
So beautiful that Country, and just as beautiful, that film! Keep up the amazing work, your cinematographer Siddharth, Atul for Time Lapse, and the editing, and everyone else who worked in the film, and the films before this. A full on standing ovation from me, and I don't know what my reaction would be watching your upcoming Bhutan films. You guys are unbelievable. Love to have subscribed here, you guys make my day, everyday! A true PD fan. @powerdrift+powerdrift#powerdrift....more n more powerdrift
We can only smile, keep smiling and smile on! Thank you Sidharth.
Amazing..!! \m/ Waiting for the Next Part eagerly..!! Love the Timelapses.. Big Thumbs Up.!!
Siddharth Dugha, Atul Haldankar I Love You!! I always wanted to know who are the guys behind the cameras of PD! And Alas!

Pranshu Sharma could you help me about the background music they used?
Unbelievable. It brought tears of bliss on my 👀. A big love from me. I can't believe that why it has so less views. It should at least have a million views. KEEP IT UP PD ARMY.
Thanks Subhojit. Your words make all the hardwork seem worthwhile. Continue to inspire us :)
atul haldankar whats the song name 3:58... ?
Powerdrift just spoke to me so wonderfully on a high visual level.
+Vykier Yeah! Cinematic love straight from Bhutan ;)
PowerDrift My bows of appreciation to the team and especially the cinematographer on this one. Must say your production unit packs a big punch, pleasure to watch.

This video inspired me so much that I became a moto tourer myself. Ohh the beautiful timelapse with the proper tone of music. And those Enfields... Oh man. We are getting old, better live it now.
What a video you guys have shared, brilliant and truly inspiring. Man, Machine, and Mother Nature. This can make everyone to pack everything, get camera, start the Bullet straight to Bhutan.
Haha thank you! Stay tuned! Part 2 coming up soon
I am lost for words guys!!!! This is Awesamastic Bhutan!!!!! Yyooooo..Keep Revvingggggg
+Yoosaf Abdulla Stay tuned for we have a Part 2 coming up!
You guys are simply awesome...hatsoff to the photographer for getting all the beauty of Bhutan and waiting for the continuations....
It's something we love doing. No wait feels like a wait.
EXCELLENCE ...VIDEO........to unnecessary honking and no overtaking from the left...wow..wish that could be followed on the Roads of Mumbai and Pune......Cheers...ride safe....waiting for part 2.
Thank you +Vaibhav Halgekar! Yes, it was quite a well organised ride :)
Damn Damn Damn, after a long time, here we go again. Two camera and motoring aficionados make their ways to Bhutan on their RE's and what you end up getting is an AV with the most surreal time lapses I have seen till date.
The two guys managed to get some amazing static shots from the angles which you will see in a feature film all this complemented with a cinematic production scores with epic beats and pulsating strings which will incur adrenaline in inordinate amounts. Do yourself a favor and superfluate your evening with ardor and merrimence. So that when you go to bed this night you have dreams, dreams of your travel diaries.
Kudos to Atul Bhaiya and Siddhartha Bhaiya who I didn't know was part of the team, great job keep persuing your passion and keep inspiring. Anxiously waiting for the next episode.

Congratulations a lot. Superb edit.. Love it. #NoWordsToDescribe. Been to siliguri earlier but man, you guys chose a beautiful route.. Small requests. I'm a huge fan of slo-mo or stop-motion videos.. Try to have that in the sequel.. Its just an idea.. but this video is more than what I imagined from the PD.. Superb...
