  • In this episode, I am riding to my favorite valley in Ladakh: Zanskar valley. But I'm taking a road that I haven't taken before, because it only opened in the last couple of years. It's an insane ride over high mountain passes, and in between, I also somehow end up in a Ladakhi wedding...

    As an Indian , it makes me immensely proud of the fact that our people are so welcoming and friendly . Noraly , a sheer stranger to locals , gets invited to witness a marriage party after she bumped into them on her way to Zangla. Goodness is aplenty and one gets to reaffirm one’s faith in the true human spirit. Loved the local hospitality for Noraly, many salutes to hosts. As for the rider in Itchy Boots , she has the charisma to connect to the people. And for the ride she recorded today , it is as she said - one of the best places to adventure . Super duper presentation too. Wonderful vlog … enjoyed it so much , alas it was only too short.

      LIVING BEING IS OUR RACE,MANKIND IS OUR RELIGION HINDU,MUSLIM,SIKH,CRISTAIN,THERE IS NO SEPARATE RELIGION
      ALMIGHTY GOD KABIR is the father of all souls that JESUS, MOHAMMAD, GURU NANAK, VEDH was telling in BIBLE, QURAN, GURU GRANTHA SAHEB
      PRESENT MESSENGER of ALMIGHTY GOD KABIR is SAINT RAMPALJI MAHARAJ 🙏🙏
      Iyov 36:5 - Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)
      See, El is Kabir, and despiseth, not any; He is Kabir in ko’ach lev (strength of understanding).
      Translation: Supreme God is Kabir, but despises no one. He is Kabir, and firm in his purpose.
      In all Bible translations, the word Kabir has been translated as "Mighty" or "Great" whereas Kabir is the original name of Supreme God.
      Conclusion: This verse of the Bible proves that Kabir is Complete God. The one who worships God Kabir by taking initiation from the complete saint sent by him gets complete salvation. After attaining salvation that souls rest in peace in the eternal abode Satlok forever. The throne of God is in Satlok( ETERNAL PLACE) 😊😊
      God Kabir met Jesus and took his soul to Satlok. On their way, God Kabir made him see his ancestors David, Moses, Abraham, etc. in the Pitra Lokas. Then God took him to Satlok😊

    The news this week has been about two brutally horrendous wars, the uncontrolled drugs and violent crime problem going on coast-to-coast here in America. Just as I was about to lose all hope for humanity, Noraly posted the absolute BEST video that she has ever produced. The beauty of Indian food, culture, country, religion, and the people themselves leads me to think that India holds the secret to happiness that we’re all craving right now. You showed me places and people and a lovely culture that I didn’t know existed, and I’m extremely grateful for it. I have nothing but love for Noraly, her fans, and most of all, our Indian friends.

They fought till their last breath, made Hindi an official state language to be more connected with India as they proclaimed themselves as Indians and not Chinese.

    I'm from Serbia, and I can say that this resembles a lot of Serbian weddings 🙂. In rural areas it is not uncommon that the people meet a random person in the street and just be like: "Hey, my son/daughter is getting married on Sunday, would you like to come?". In the town from which I come from, there are also a couple of persons with big notebooks, who record which guest/family brought what present (or how much money). We also have a custom that the best man comes out of the church after the wedding, starts throwing money, and the kids start gathering it. And we also drink a lot 🤣.
    Awesome video, I really enjoyed watching it. Keep 'em coming! 🙂🏍

For Proof I can Present you travel accounts of Famous Travellers from both Greek [ Megasthenese , Delmachus , Ctesiasias.....] as well as Chinese [ Fa Hein (405-411 A.D.), Hiuen Tsang (630-645 AD), and I-Tsing (671-695 AD) ].
      Let alone that many ancient Buddhist Stupas even capture the rituals and Cultural Beleifs of that time none of which contains any slightest mention of above or things like
      1. CASTE SYSTEM BY BIRTH ( in earlier times it was based upon Your Profession...just like Our Ancient Hindu Text BHAGVAD GITA mentions that too WITHOUT ANY HIERARCHY )
      2. GHUNGHAT ( Veil For Women ) Seriously if anyone thinks it was part of our Culture he needs some eye treatment....do you think the Makers of ANCIENT ORIGINAL HINDU TEMPLES were Blind?? That they couldn't put Veil upon women in Sculptures?? .....BTW This Veil system in Indian Household started during ISLAMIC INVASION so as to hide the women in order to avoid Abduction, R. Etc same goes For SATI SYSTEM ( Thatswhy you won't find SATI Practice in Southern India ,North East India , it was Limited to Rajasthan, some parts of Guj , Bangal , Bihar .....)

Those who invited you to the wedding were very kind. Indeed, those people are very strong people, that's why they know how to live very well even in such difficult conditions.

    On top of that, I can't but feel the connection between you and Royal Enfield. You are the perfect match, and the reason for my fascination for the brand. I'd much rather watch the Indian countryside on the Himalayan, than on any other MC on any other continent (perhaps the only exception; Australia. Riding the RE Himalayan)
