The guys you see at 9 minutes in must have the toughest job in the world. They're usually from poor provinces in Central and West India, and work in the most exposed and remote areas of the country for very low wages manually breaking rocks into stones to build the road. They survive up there on instant noodles, pancakes and tea for 3 months and then go home to bring the money to their families. Meeting them when I was cycling the Road last year really put my life in perspective. We have so much privilege. So much.
You forget that WE by far doesnt include all europeans. Many people in europe have just as little as those you see in the video. 70 Million europeans lived (2007, even more now) under the poverty line in the EU. that is a country the size of Germany full of very poor people. You cant compare the money those people have cause, they get so little for it in europe. But my point is: dont say WE when you really just mean you and some others.
Jo Kommentaah The only privilege we have is a ok chance to not get one of the 70 million really poor. Still it doesnt mean our lives automatically can count as living, cause even over the poverty line is still very low and only allows to have a very booring, mentally demanding life. See the problem in EU is that you cant do anything without money, not even visiting friends or beeing part of social life. Another thing here is: we are forced to look at others that are whealthy. It doesnt make the life in India any less hard, but I want people to realize that Europe and USA both arent THAT much richer as it often is presented in the media, school and said in conversations as if we always could help everyone else. We cant. If we do and cause we do, EU is becoming more and more poor. Before we all are good positioned and have filled public treasury, we cant and shouldnt " help" the others. Why "" ? cause many countires would be better of without kapitalism , since you can overhelp people- just like animals: if you help a wild animal to its food, it will soon be dependant on you. This isnt meant as a "Dont help them" speech but just so that people might think twice on how correct and good somthing is, seeing things critically is still not that common..
You cycled the whole route? That's brilliant. India is a country which, if nothing else, does give you perspective. FYI, the guys building the road asked him "Kaha jana hai?" as in "where do you want to go?". He was trying to give him directions!
Luke, you can find misery in your own country. India (4th largest economy) is not for you to comment on without understanding, nor is it to give you perspective of how "privileged" you are. FYI, 47 million Americans live in poverty as well including their war veterans (homeless). Europe is no stranger to poverty. Rest of the lesson has been given to you by Jo Kommentaah in this thread.
Jo, thank you for such sensible analysis. Most people are brainwashed by media - just as you mentioned.
Best Gopro video I've watched...great job guys
Oggy F
Hey oggy
I guess that's how you fell in love with riding
Big fan Oggy Sir 💖
I bet those backpacks are full of gopro batteries
and toilet paper
And 64GB micro SD cards
And chargers too
Nop bro electricity is 24 hours my friend no need of full bag.
And some condoms in case of emergency
India has---highest Mountain ranges,serene Beaches(sun risinng and sun setting),tropical Forests,Deserts,rivers,Oceans and a big inactive Volcano.
And India has heaven on the earth;)
Inactive, yes. There's an active one as well
That's why it is called "India is a complete world in itself"... V experience almost all kind of weathers too

GoPro HERO3+ Adventure Series Episode Four: Highest Road In The World.
and as always the music choice is awesome!
good. like
How could i service gopro in india..
it is ladakh not pan american
I watched all these GoPro videos of people's life doing extraordinary events. & Here I am, sitting on my computer sobbing about the final exams...
Just go for it. Do it. Life will not be the same again. Trust me.
LOL
hows it going? i still dream about this
You don't need school to become successful and make money all you need is an idea and the Internet it's the most powerful weapon of information in the world that exists!
I feel the same😑
In 1981 as a 21 year old I travelled a very similar route on a 500 Matchless I bought for about $100 Aud in New Deli. Simply the most awesome trip as a young person and then across to the north east and Darjeeling , Thanks for reigniting the memories.
Must be an experience in 1981.
I can only imagine it unless they launch an time machine.
In 1981, it must have been 100 times more challenging
@@bharathsf and 200 times more clean
If you learn to ride bike in India
Then you can ride anywhere
Expect anywhere, where there are road rules, most Indian don't know that Red traffic lights mean stop, not accelerate.
Except severe Siberian winter
@Rajinder RAJINDER Bro most Indians -KNOW- DON'T CARE about the meaning of red yellow and green lights.Dont denounce india bcoz of -some- MOST people
@@SUMITSHARMA290 agree
Lmfao XD
This is my dream motorcycle trip. Thanks for posting.
NorthWriter This place is called "Leh Ladakh" and its in India. You ride to this place on a "Royal Enfield Bullet" or "Royal Enfield Thunderbird". The trip with all food, petrol, stay etc will cost you not more than ₹50000/- or $1000.
Do come to visit India some day :D
NorthWriter the whole trip costed us 350$ excluding flight tickets to india :D But we went really budget and stayed there for 6 weeks
+debo3000 You mean this whole trip costed you 350$ for 6 week???????? Did you feed yourself with water and air? ahah
seriously man how did you manage to spend so little?
+Sunny Joshi Is it a guided tour or something?
I did the entire trip in $250. 13 days. Includes accommodation, food, gas, repairs. Didn't take a guided tour. Guided tours would set you back by some $200 over and above the $250. I have a video on my channel about my trip. Feel free to check it out.
I rode down through southern Vietnam, and up into Cambodia on a $200 shit-tier Honda. Still the best ride of my life.
All these people on here saying "one day" are kidding themselves. Make the decision - yes or no - and then act on it. The only thing stopping you... is you.
Sounds cool af bro
I wish it was that easy.
Must be easy to make money like you huh
Been 9 yrs since this video came out, still one of my favourite.

Yes, on my other youtube channel, Gabriel Traveler. I have lots in the Himalayas actually.
3:18 "Son stay away from that camera."
Many people nowadays do this trip on a bicycle ! Even more challenging !
I did it ,this Jul'14 on a bicycle !
@@prtzy thanks for updating
That is one for the bucket list!
Raymond Matteson Just don't choose an RE.
Get a MOJO or Dominor 400.
RE's no matter which model they are breakdown pretty often and aren't reliable at all.
Use Dominor as it has dual channel ABS
List India So you're telling him to take a 190kg carbureted metal junk 2000ft high?
Why?
No reliability?
No Fuel Injection?
No fuel gauge?
Oh I bet it's the Amp meter
An amp meter always comes in handy cause you should know how much charge is left in your battery :D
Don't listen to him Raymond
You can get a MOJO or a Dominar or even the RS200 (which is a sports bike but a surprisingly good tourer)
There are much better options to go by then an RE
I'd say the best option is to go with the Mojo or a Dominar
Mojo would be great because of the suspension setup, good handling and the 21 LITRE FUEL TANK you get
So you won't have to worry about refueling your bike every 300-400 km
List India
Dominor is a fantastic bike
Saket Chaturvedi , Kid do you even understand these machineries? No fuel injection in a 500 cc? what are you a 3 yr old baby?
Dominar is low power engine, no stability in the bike. high pick up. And last of all it's a fuckin' sports bike not a cruise bike. you're going on a cruise not to a race. Give me one example who takes a sports bike to high altitude or to any cruising event..
Raymond sign up to RE website. They constantly organise these type of trips across India with amenity vans. My brother and I have Personally experienced this 7 times with my Thunderbird 500 and his Desert Storm 500. You can try the RE Himalayan. Have Fun. Don't listen to these amateur kids..👍👍.
List India So dumb
legend says they used 50 go pros
Hey Manish, Vintage Rides guided them so we know all about the legend ;)
See you in a month and 25 days, Leh!! The wait is excruciating.
TheNecroserpent
how was it?
Looks like so much fun. But where is the gas station
It's logical to think that perhaps there were some small gas stations along the way in a small village, or they just simply had a terrain vehicle loaded up with fuel following them.
That's what I was thinking, they don't have any extra fuel containers on the bikes. Some villages must of had gas.
***** This place doesnt have many gas stations on the way. You have to keep some on with you .. For them i think it was probably in the blue vehicle that was following them
SpB2Studios no gas station till 365 kms after the last one at manali .
i was thinking the same thing

This might be the coolest thing I've ever seen. How do you dudes get to live this life?
This video just made me happier that I bought a Hero 3+ :)
I have a *Contour+2*...
_and I'am also happy_
ayye i watch your motovlogs you're my favorite vlogger!
never thought i'd see you here mate :)
Aha same, you earned a sub!

"alone in your head with nothing to distract you, you think about family. you begin to relive moments of your life and question various aspects of who you are"
love it. that is why vacations are important and it is why I camp and backpack.
9:02 People are awesome!
They had no idea what a high five was haha
Conversation "What happened? Where do you want to go?"
Travel videos like this give me chills and make me want to just pack my backpack and go enjoy some adventurous!
It has been about 5 years and a half since I first saw this video, I often come back to it, relive what Alex and the guys lived. Whenever I feel that I cannot fixate on my purpose, I look up this video. One of the best videos ever. This piece of art inspired me to create videos and photos. I have a long way to go but I'll get there. Thank you GoPro, thank you for all the hope and positivity. 😌
This is hidden gem of RUclips. Back from the time when Moto blogging was at nascent stage and still miles ahead of anything we get to see now a days.
Been there in 2006... fantastic... i felt sick for the altitude but was great
Great experience. Thank you for sharing.
Man I can't imagine the rush, the freedm you guys must feel @the top of the world.the clean air, streams you travel thru, and the joy and excitement of it all!!!!this was a great video! Cheers from el paso, texas!
Royal Enfield Bullets! I owned one during my undergrad. Was the most beautiful motorcycle ever. My dad sold it after I moved to the US. I miss it.
You have no idea how much this has honestly made me want to do exactly that, head to the Himalayas on a motorbike.
I feels good to watch short movies like this one!
and people here say there is nothing to see in india..!
true😒

Such a beauty you can only witness once you r there....
Thank you to My parent nd God for ths beautiful life...

Makes me miss my childhood in Pakistan! India is very beautiful!
Pakistan formed Because of politics basically it's akhand bharat not India or Pakistan

Welcome to india one cannot experience life if they havent traveled India.
Thays totally bullshit
@@millennials8340 ignorant people says the same. Good luck ;)
True
I've been to India. Have no desire to go back. It's a shithole coexist with luxury.
@@djangoworldwide7925 got molested?😂😂
welcome to INDIA.
one of the greatest things you can do in your life.
Khardung La. I had been there a few years ago. nice view...
This is definitely one of my favorite GoPro videos. Bar none.
Beautiful! I felt I was right there the whole film….Well done! Thanks for the sweet ride/ adventure!
Best GoPro Video!!
This would make for an awesome Top Gear episode
Who needs cable, this is the best Channel anywhere .. streaming playlists to chromecast ... this is friggin gnarly GoPro
Got real scared at 4:33 lol
The amount of batteries neded to make this film is over 9000 ....
+Harcsa Tamas no
its 9001
That is over 9000.....
+A pulsar 220 rider shrekt
It's actually 8999 😁😁😝😜
9202..it is accurate data
Absolutely amazing video. Great editing and great soundtrack. Don't you love GoPro, you now have the ability to take people on the adventure with you with a video camera that is smaller then your wallet. Simply amazing. I wonder what GoPro has in for us next.
This reminded me of my trip to Ladakh. It was such a wonderful journey; traveling past all those varied landscapes and finally reach Khardung La, the world's highest road. You are right; the trip helped me have a better understanding of who I am. Wonderful video.
GoPro and Royal Enfield.. what a combo.. Definitely, Sky is the limit for you guys.. Hats Off ..
Felt like i just watched an extra scene at the end of the Walter Mitty movie.
Welcome to India, where we play Croquet with elephants
very dumb
8:57,he was asking, "kaha jana hai?/where do you want to go?"...it goes to prove that you dont need to ask for help sometimes help comes to you...so nice
Bike is.. Royal Enfield classic 350
A true celebration of life. Pity you might lose it in the process...
1650million what's that supposed to mean mate
I'd go here with my scooter doing a wheelie, like a boss and shit.. :D
lol np
I know that my India may not be the best in the world but man we are growing fast.
We have some of the best archaeological and geological and spiritual marvels in the world.
The India is changing, its getting out the stereotypical chains of the past(no longer a country of snake charmers) .
I request GoPro to sponsor another trip to India, the land of diversities.
India welcomes you my friends.
Maannnnn.... The moment from 04.31 to 04.33 any rider can feel the heartbeats increasing. God bless you and ride safe and be safe.
That was just pure awesome!
That's pretty awesome I would love to see more videos like this
good thing it wasn't a harley thing would have broke down 9 times
RE motorcycles too are unreliable. I'm sure he's had quite a few issues with it while riding
Amogh S
hes driving a honda, a japanese made honda at that. Thing will ride around the world on 100$
+v8consumption No, its RE (Royal Enfield). Honda was at the garage.
+Freedom Fighter only companies are aloud to use and own those.
Yeah sure 50hp enfeild vs 150hp Harley. Please do the math.
LOVE this, I want to fly over there, buy an Enfield and ride it back to the UK!
ArcturanMegadonkey * just a reminder*
Another reminder! 🤗
Another reminder !
I recently bought a Honda Innova 125 and have been doing mini tours of Lincolnshire in the UK, the videos are on my channel so check them out.
My plan for 2021 (if c19 doesn't spoil things) is to take 2 weeks off work and ride to Europe and film it...destination who knows!
I got inspired to do some long distance trips a few months back after watching videos on @c90adventures channel.
You should really bro, another reminder
Did anyone else see the Butterfly??? See if you spot it.
Yes I near road of water
Great video, man! Anyone else want a motorcycle and a GoPro now?
Already got me lookin online for a bike lol
haha yeah man, I was too after watching this video; looks like a lot of fun!
Ethan R The GoPro's are too costly man! :(
he is on the "royal enfield- bullet"
Bugging df
This is now officially one of my collection of beautifully made videos on the world.
superb consept and video editing and sound mixing ...
Why would 14 people vote down on this video?
Jealous?
This was a fantastic video, thanks for posting.
Astonishing video.
4:31 my heart stopped beating for a moment when he skidded
Watched it a thousand times! And still would watch many more
Great Video, This is really fun !!
Its Khardung La Pass,India (Highest Motorable Road)!! even our group did a royal enfield trek last year.
Ladakh is extremely beautiful.
India! I live in India
Divey, thank you that tune has everything going for it.
these little go pro docs are fantastic
"Sky is The limit"
I love that!
Now it's second highest motoroad of the world.. 1st also in India...
A song in the second half of the video is called "Love Don't Go" by The Family Crest. Please check out this band, this kind of music deserves to be heard by many.
By far the best GoPro Story I have seen.
Love the video! Shows different sides of the world that we're not used to seeing! I'd like to get a GoPro for show Portugal to the world :)
Mumbiker nikil bought me here !
Same here:-)
+Nikhil Sehgal same here too...
me too
same hea
Lol
One day i hope to do something epic like this.
I'm building up the courage and experience one step at a time. i did my first trip abroad on a bike earlier this year to France, i hope next year to do Spain through to Italy and back to the UK, after that, who knows.
Thanks for the video, I re-lived the moment again. I did this is 2006, the best thing that happened to me.
such an inspirational video
That's my dream. Travel like this on a bike
Thanks so much Alex and thank you GoPro. This is such a good thing GoPro... I fell different after watching...Happy Trails Alex
Wow , the best filmed and edited GoPro Video ever!
from India with love
Amazing. Some seriously beautiful shots.
That's awesome... I gotta look into investing in one of these things... It's my goal to go on a grand adventure next year once I get out of the Navy and finish my undergrad; it'd be sweet to have one of those along. :D
Freaking Amazing! I'm really looking forward to the video produced by the winner of the new contest VanAwesome
- I think what I like most about this video, is that it treats the #GoPro like I do - a documentary camera.
videos like this make me wonder what the hell I am doing with my life ...
***** RIGHT?!
A journey in India through the Snow Capped Himalayas on a Bike...cant express it in words...
This clip inspired me to do your journey back in 2015. Made life long friends as a result, and memories.
Dude sounds like Spider-Man
@Chinmay Chadha 😂😂😂
By far one if the best videos published by GoPro. Yes, a few too many cameras, but that's how you produce such footage. How did they get sonfar with no visible extra gas tanks? With the air so thin those bikes nust have been running very rich.
with a 4WD truck at their back.."may be".
I just got back from this trip like 2 weeks ago. Hands down the best 15 days of my life. Thanks for this video :)
Went on this road this summer to get to the start point of our trek.. probably the scariest road ever - truck remains can be seen over the cliff edges from accidents, however, the views at the top are so so worth it.
Ive personally been to the kardungla pass and believe me, its so high up that when you get out of your car, most people puke
this is the reason i love Gopro, and always !!!
Just came back crossing that road.. Love it.
great shots, great music, this video is the best one GoPro has uploaded so far, it has a lot of atmosphere. Love it!
