As Pippa said,lovely way to end the week with a wee dram in hand watching the most amazing landscape imaginable and with you guiding us. Blown away from this episode. As always,much appreciated ✨
Yes the 2 places I didn't turn around to look at on the way in, where probably the 2 that have blown me away the most, had to describe. As always thanks for watching Geoff.
Thanks Noel, it is great to hear you are still enjoying the series after all this time, there are still a few more to come in this one. As always thanks for watching.
Hi Joe, Edge of the world type riding and not a soul in sight. I felt for you when you had fuel anxiety with less than half a tank! I get that here in country Victoria!! I imagine the roads get a real hammering in the snow melt season. Those road crews are doing an incredible job!
Yes it is an amazing place to ride through and not seeing other people make it feel even more special somehow. Yer after a long day riding I didn't want to have to push the bike along the road side for hours haha. yes the road crews have a lot of work to do early in spring each year. You can see from the one road that had not been touched how quickly they deteriorate. Thanks for watching.
I love to wait till the end for the photos. That brings a huge smile on my face. I love how you use music in your vlogs as well as how you narrate the journey. Great Job.
Some really incredible landscape Joe, for a time there I thought I was on the NASA channel watching the footage from the rovers on Mars. Just the immensity of it all would humble anyone and without actually being there you did an amazing job with your footage. Can you get a drone up anywhere on these incredible structures or is it just too difficult? Brilliant Joe, just brilliant.
Thanks mate, yes the landscape I missed when I turned around was insane. There are a lot of limitation on drones here due to the military (you are not allow to film the military bases, that's why none have appear) not bases in this area but there are restrictions on high and locations, I'll like to come back so I am trying to stick with in all there rules. Thanks for watching.
haha, well I ride well within my ability on these journeys as I am riding solo with all the camera gear. I have spent time on a dirt bike which does help when getting to tracks that are a little rougher. As always It's great to hear you enjoyed the episode, thanks for watching.
Hello, thank you for the new excitement. It's a truly amazing view, no words needed. I ride a 411, but the 450 seems to have better fuel economy. I'm looking forward to the next episode, so take care.
Thanks mate, it's great to hear you enjoyed the episode, the 450 has a 17L tank where the 411 has a 15L tank so may get a little further. Thanks for watching.
zanskar's awesome. i hope they open up some of the other spectacular places for common tourists as well which are currently off bounds mainly on the northern and eastern parts of this region
With all the road works going on, I am sure there will be more places opening up over the new few years. I hope you enjoyed the episode, thanks for watching.
That route through those mountains has to be one of the most stunning dare. I say it, in the world, well at least one of the most stunning I have seen. Thanks for watching.
As usual, fantastic. Thank you for sharing. Do you ever worry about breaking down in the middle of nowhere? What would you do if that did happen? (Too far to walk out ! ) Are you running the factory tires? Any good? How is the bike going? From New Zealand. 20/10.
Thanks mate, no I don't worry about breaking down. It's not too far to walk out, I went through a few villages so it would only be a day or maybe 2 walk. I have done several through hikes that lasted weeks, I carry enough food and water to be able to last a week. I also have an emergency beacon, just as a back up. Yes everything on the bike is factory, the stock tyres are surprisingly doing a fine jog, if it was muddy or really step I'd want something with a more aggressive tread. The bike has been great, I am doing a review of the bike at the end of the series. Thanks for watching.
Hi Joe, I can’t believe the landscape and how different it is go around the corner and it’s different again absolutely beautiful country anyway enjoy your video once again stay safe and enjoy Cliff from Logan City, Queensland, Australia. 🇦🇺 I’m on the big island 🏝️
Yes that the most striking thing, around a corner or over a pass you come to a completely different landscape, I just have to remember to turn around haha. as always thanks for watching.
not even some so called big indian RU-vidrs didnt dare to come to any other route than usual........you....being a foreigner.......went to the OFFroads not a single those guys even attempted....KUDOS TO YOU BRO. also loved the into ROAM HIMALAYAS in 3D in perfect backgrounds. Good job sir
Love catching a glimpse of your speedo, gives a great aspect when your navigating them side tracks. The camera stability is spot on, did look to see if you mention what your using, is it a latest gopro ? Those still shots at the end are some of the best. Look foward to the next installment 🦘
Apparently I have a lot of speedo trackers haha. If I am filming I'll normally slow down and focus on getting the shot, also the speed limits hear a very low in most places 40 50 and 60kph. See if you can spot the exception in the next episode haha. as always thanks for watching.
Amazing as always! I had to watch this episode twice, back to back. Just making sure I haven't overlooked another epic view 😊😊. I really like your approach to travelling: where the road lead, there's only one way to find out 👍👍 ... That being said, do you care to share map info about this trip? I would like to go and say for myself, but don't have the time to follow each track that presents itself 😊
The 2 spots I missed on the way in are probably the to best I have seen on this trip, mind-blowing. I am going to do a video at the end of the series about being a first timer riding in the area, what I have learnt and information that might help others who are thinking of riding in the area. I didn't record where I went but will endeavour to put something together. Again thanks for your support and thanks for watching.
Riding those road it feels totally safe and I am riding well within my ability, not the kind of places to test your limits alone. As always thanks for watching.
@freewayproject Your riding skills are excellent and you are sensible but machines break. It just looked a long walk to help. But you are young and any walk around there would give amazing photo opportunities. Life is full of risk and I am guilty of enjoying your videos more and more.
The alternate route you took is the old route via lingshed. It's no longer maintained. It used to be one of the adventurous route since inclinations were very steep.
Thanks for the information, yes not maintain as I found out haha, there were trenches about a foot deep and wide, as I was going to be low on fuel I thought I'd leave it. I hope you enjoyed the episode.
Thats spooky i was just thinking that i sometimes stop and take pics of where ive been theen you mention it ......words fail at what views your seeing.........sometimes i see sleeping dinasours with finned backs in those mountains mmmm time for a brew🤌👌👌
Yes the ridges at the top are very dinosaur like. The 2 spots I missed on the way in are probably the best 2 I have seen here so far, mind-blowing. As always thanks for watching David.
Little factoid I was told. Before India crashed into Asia there was a narrow sea and meandering rivers drained the land. When the collision happened (or should I say started, as it's still happening) the land pushed up. But the rivers eroded at the same rate. The mountains rose between the rivers. So rather than having the straight rivers typical of mountains, they have meandering rivers as though there was still a floodplain, but they're at the bottoms of some of the deepest river valleys on earth
yes all spares and tools and as mention know my fuel range, so I know when the hard limit is to turn back. But luckily in most parts here if you get to a village, there is someone who has fuel to sell (not from a fuel station), and if I did run out that would be all part of the adventure, there is always a solution. I hope you enjoyed the episode.
@@freewayproject I always look forward to your adventures. I watch Itchyboots as well and she carries fuel bags into remote areas and fills them up when needed. You’re right about on the edge adventures, I have been there.
haha, that road/track/trail/dirt indent hasn't had any love for a while. Apologies to your kidneys. I hope you enjoyed the episode, as always thanks for watching.
Thanks Joe, as always a great way to start the weekend. The bike sure looks to be holding up well on those rocky tracks. Do you have a translator app to communicate with locals or getting by with hand signals etc?
Thank you for the support, it is greatly appreciated and will help me continue to create these. yes the bike is doing an great job up here, one would think it was design for these conditions 😂 but all jokes aside, it has been Flawless. As a Foreigner, you can't get sim-card that will work in the region, and i couldn't work out how to download the language offline. But I had not issues at all. Fuel I point to the tank, food I point to my mouth, accommodation I put my hands together and rest my head on them and always approach with a big smile. It's only the very small villages that you might not get anyone who can speak English, but places they can and if you need something, someone else has needed it previously so they seem to work out what you need.
Loving the series Joe. Not missed an episode yet (although I may not leave a comment some times.) How many weeks were you there and how many episodes are left?
I haven't used google maps (only for the big cities), as it doesn't have a lot of the small tracks and trails which I have been able to pass through. On GaiaGPS, it still has the outline of the track there. It was worth a look and still a lot of fun to ride. I like going down a random track to check them out, so all's good, it does not matter if I have to then returning back the same way, it's all part of the adventure. I hope you enjoyed the episode
Yes it is a big upgrade, it ability off road has had a massive improvement. I'm going to do a review of the bike at the end of the series and go into more details. Thanks for watching.
@@freewayprojectGday Joe. Another awesome episode. When you do your wrap up summary at the end of the trip, do you think you can provide a GPX file or names of all the places you visited?
@@mikebeaton4934 I am going to do a video on what it is like as a first timer riding there, what I have learnt and some information that might be helpful to people who are thinking of doing there to ride.
