How to Ride a Motorcycle in India & SURVIVE

- Riding a motorcycle on Indian roads is the best way to travel in India, but it comes with its risks. I've taken a Royal Enfield motorcycle over 10,000km across India, and now I'll teach you what I've learnt. I have the tips you need to ride a bike safely in India.
This isn't just a motorcycle riding tips video though, it's a full-on vlog where we travel from Gulmarg to Pahalgam in Jammu & Kashmir. Along the way, I show you how to fill petrol at an Indian gas station, we stop for lunch at a Kashmiri bakery, and the Army blocks our way with their convoy. It was quite a ride through the most picturesque place in the world, Kashmir Valley.

You are really becoming the complete guide of India! It is great that you are educating foreigners like me on how to travel India 🇮🇳 safely. I am truly thankful for your videos 👌

That's OK if u don't visit India we don't have a problem
Read his book it will help you
@@nitintshetty2823 calm yourself brother.....
First learn to be nice to everyone....
The mountains of Jammu and Kashmir are so breathtaking. I love motorcycles
yes i agree.. that was the most beautiful thing i saw on the video about India and Pakistan apart from Karl handsome face! he reminds me of Dr Che Guevera riding on the mountains of Bolivia while i was struggling during the Cuban revolt!
Keanu Reeves - You are breathtaking!
Karl to indicators : " nhi chahiye ji" ;)
Amazing work 👍
Those potholes. I can only imagine the accidents from people trying to avoid them and riding into and incoming car.
yeah we don't watch daredevil reality shows...we perform them on the roads😂
People do actually die from them often: ruclips.net/video/SdbLDCL55Bc/видео.html
You should go to romania if you want to see potholes 🤣🤣🤣 and im not even talking about secluded mountains the capital of Romania Bucharest has 10x worse roads.
yes they need a special peoples power socialist project among the grassroots to patch up these roads as soon as they crack up...thats the only way to fix the indian roads there...democracy wont work there...too many cracks and too many complacency
@@fidelcatsro6948 that's not the case nowthese days
It has changed a lot
At the start of the video I thought he was in New-Zealand because of the surroundings but later when he told he was in India, I was surprised . Kashmir is really beautiful
We wanted to rent a motorbike in India and then after a while we came to country we realized that it is not a great idea 😂
that probably saved your life!!
Then you just came to most urban Pockets of India.
Next time go to some low population areas for that.
You can check South India, Northeast India, Goa and Northmost India.✌
U can ride in hills..they r not conjusted as normal cities..
Uttarakhand having great roads in hill area for adventure only....
Almora, uttarakhand..
Try it..
My mom wouldn't let me drive a cycle at the Main road ..it's really very dangerous about overtaking in indian highways it's very scary
You missed all the fun 😂😇
You make me think of the protagonist of that Shantaram book. Also, you are living my dream of living in India. When I was 18, I went backpacking in India, but then marriage, a kid, mortgage to pay...but India is always in my heart.
Love for India..🙏🙏
Dubai : live a luxury life
New York : live a normal life
India : try to survive
but once your learn how to survive, you can live a normal or a luxury life, based on how hard you work

@@hageneesje sands , skyscrapers and Lamborghinis and maclarens, some most wanted criminal, apart from this what Dubai has???? Some scenic beauty? Nature? And u guys call it luxury?? Money doesn't only means luxury.....Dubai is just a dull soul less racist Muslim city
For God sake, where are you from? One can live a great quality of life in India.
Cool video Karl, looks like you got some great weather. What camera are you filming with? It's looking very crisp and clear. And what program do you use to edit?
Thx bro. I just put an IGTV video up listing my equipment, check that bro. And I use premiere pro
@@KarlRock Cool man, sounds good. Safe travels.
Sometimes i feel you know about India more than me.. and i am a 26 year old indian born in Delhi....😂😂
ye hamari kusur hai bhai ham paise kamane me hi rehte hai jab tak ham bache paida karna sochna band karte hai nayi adventures ko leke dream karte hai tab ham successfull honge warna apni ammi ki baat sunke shaadi karo bache paida karo ek zindagi hai kitna paisa kamaloge kya karoge aish karoge zyada se zyada kya faida isse
Hey Karl I’m from Jammu & Kashmir
Thanku for visit and visit again and try to visit in winter it will another adventure for you.
I really want to come back in Winter! I will do it
I love your content so much....
Only bc of of the time u upload. And I'm in California!!
Hahah thanks for all the content Karl u open the world up to silly Americans like me! 😅
Silly?😆
*KARL YOU ACTUALLY ROCKS*
there are a few motor rules that differ in Jammu and Kashmir, Its advised not to use high beams at Night if you are travelling to a places which has Indian Army posts in between, to the rest of the Indian states as per law you are allowed to use high beams only in national highways but neither the police enforces it nor the people follow it, but in J&K its different, So if you are driving at night keep that in mind, because in case of Indian Army they go as per the book and you cant bribe them out.
Kashmir is better than Switzerland ❤️
Finally you are in your birth place in India(mai Kashmiri Hun...)😜
Good tips Karl, what a stunning valley, absolutely beautiful! 😃
You are the only one who know India better than Indian. Love from Siliguri❤❤❤
Such beautiful views Karl absoutley stunning. Great video Karl as always would love to be a passenger on your bike I love going on bikes and having that feeling of being free. Stay safe always Karl
Haha love this 🤣🤣🤣
and the poncho! Ps hi for nz and its raining 😆lol
Hi Lilly :) It's raining in Delhi now too
@@KarlRock so cool.
Karl, I am from down south, I drive here. I don't honk unless myself or someone is in danger. That means I don't honk when I am passing, usually when I approach a curve. I always give the right of way to pedestrians and other vehicles as per law. I don't claim people around me do that. I feel safe driving that way. If I were you I would not have driven on the shoulder of that road, not even a proper shoulder, you could get a flat tire and being a normal foriegner means further hassles and possibility of getting scammed to fix it. But I am with you on avoiding obstacles and watching the rule breakers on the roads. I am of the opinion that the arrogance of bus and truck drivers should be dealt by the law and this being a democracy, we the people need to respond to them.
In India people change lanes without any reason, when you are passing other vehicles it is important to let them know by honking, not everyone checks their mirror, honking while passing other vehicles is like a safety precaution from your end.
Honking is not bad, honking is for warning. It reduces the chance of accident. But don’t honk unnecessarily.
Great stuff - really enjoyed this. I've been to India, but mostly southern and never on a bike. This was very competent and informative!
Ram ram karl bhai...
I don't know why but Wanna meet you once in life
That scenery!!! Just amazing. Thumb Up - I love it - much prefer it to certain famous American brands :)
My skin was peeling on day 3 of my Kashmir trip. Sunblock is a must!
Nice advice friend. It helps alot of foreign riders to ride safe. U r not only vlogging but u r revolutionising the way foreigners should know India and be safe here. Jay Hind
Thank you Bhai
Good tip about keeping left, I would add that at night best to generally keep a little further mid-lane tho' as the tarmac on the very edge of the road has a habit of having large chunks of it missing, which are much easier to avoid during the day.
Beautiful scenery and your videos are so amazing. I feel like I am there. No livestock in the road in Houston... except the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.
I never knew honking and passing was awkward in foreign this habit came naturally to me. But riding in India is challenging
Mo
I have been driving here for over 30 years in the US and one day recently I was pissed off with someone (road rage?) and I wanted to use my horn in car and I didn't know where or what to press..BTW I figured it out eventually after I had driven another 5 miles...So much for my road rage. :) Never used my horn for the 7 years I've had this car. Peronsally India should pass a law to remove the horn from all it;s vehicles. India would become such a nicer place. :)
You’re more Indian than most Indians .✌️
Travel is not all glamor. It was nice to see the realities of traveling. Great fun to watch. Thanks for posting.
It's great to hear a fluent Hindi from you, amazing,keep going and thanks 👍
It was a pleasure to view the valley from the eyes of your motorbike. Thanks, Karl!
Thanks, Arjun. Kashmir is too beautiful
Thanks Karl for the beautiful view and exploring India for more coming Tourist, You are Real Rider!
Thank Karl, I am exploring Himalayas by Motorbike with my Wife and i found that your vlogs are very useful.
There is only one rule to drive on Indian roads, 'Expect the unexpected.'
I just got back from two weeks in the Himilayas on a RE Bullet. Amazing stuff!
Thanku Karl we all Indian loves your way to represent India 🇮🇳 you give a right information about India
Another Indian road rule is that if someone honks multiple time but in a slow pace that means they're asking for side and if honking is rapid that means they're coming thru in speed
Good day to you!
I am a senior rider on HONDA Cross Cub from Japan.
I am enjoying camping,touring and upload video.
This is so nice adventure video!
Awesome!
Have a nice day my friend!
you are doing a great job sir. you are trying to make India a better place.
Karl you look really experienced while riding on the road! Have you had any previous riding in your life or is this your first time riding motorcycles? I’m glad you stayed somewhat safe 😂
his narrative on the video states he's already done 6000 miles of riding on Indian chaotic roads.. experienced enough
@@fidelcatsro6948 chuitya

Oh at what time did he say that? I missed like the last minute of the video so hopefully not then 😂

Extremely informative. I am thinking of shipping my moto to Asia and riding to Bangladesh to visit friends. Thanks very much!
Just a Kiwi indian watching your videos from Auckland 😁
Yes, India is a CRAZY place. I can't imagine riding a motorbike there
Great tips Karl ji! Be safe and thanks for helping others be safe! There definitely is a method to the madness for driving in India. 😃
I suredon’t miss the petrol pump potties on road trips. 🤣
I thought this moto vlog from new zealand while watching scenic valley
@Ankit Banerjee 🤣🤣🤣
i am a noobie at riding bike , and these tips are soo helpful especially that u go to ride in slow speeds . kind people can make your riding harder when they dont look both sides before crossing .

Thanks sir for showing us such a beautiful part of our country🙏🙏🙏🙏
i am from kashmir and i really like the way you blog. And please do tell the people that it is completely safe to visit kashmir
You did vlcc sunscreen advertisement 😀😀
Very beautiful parts of India looks like the Rockies.
Karl should open up a motovlog channel where he takes us through the scenery of India
I was just watching his other video love u karl
thanks for sharing Karl Rock, at 8:44 you say "let's do it" ...HAI NA?
Jammu Kashmir is heaven on the earth.May Allah help Kashmiries in their effort.Ameen
Jammu and Kashmir is India's and Kashmiris are Indians.
How to ride a motorcycle in India: don't
Go to best gore dot com and search india. You'll find hours of evidence to NOT drive lmaooo
Is there anything you like about India ?
Thumbs Up Spice Cola
@@fidelcatsro6948 🤣🤣
Ausome video you know lot about the Indian road and traffic... learnt a lot 👍. Love see your next blogs. Stay safe and stay healthy 💪 (At this time it matters most). Truly said need to take small brakes while you are riding in a difficult roads. Have a nice time in India.
I would like to see Karl make more motorbike videos like this. There are a lot of RUclips videos made by riders in India but most of them speak languages that I can't understand - and hearing the commentary is really an important part of the video.
I was born at Poonch a lovely town of Jammu and Kashmir also famous by the name little Kashmir. When I was in grade 7 I moved to Jammu, a crazy 6 hours vehicle journey similar to this. I should advice you that even most of us Indians view Kashmir and Srinargar part as the only unsafe place of India and that's why we've never been there. Please stay safe!
If you can drive in Mumbai traffic then congratulations you can easily drive on moon.
I have finally moved to India to new deli I like it so much thanks to you
3:15 😂😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣👏👏👏👏
I like Karl's visits to the Kashmir Valley as this gives a chance for foreign traveller's to gain confidence for tourism in Jammu and Kashmir as usually foreigners avoid jk due to the a fear of militancy due to radical Islam.
Karl u went to Jambu and kasmir but I haven’t been thre and I am indian 🤣
Karl is more INDIAN than most of the INDIANS.!
Now I wanna live in India
How does one enjoy a hill tour. I'm lost. I wanted to tour with a motorcycle what should I enjoy the scenery? Along road? Photos? How many pics to take? How to protect shoes in rain it gets soaked and smelly. If you visit a tourist spot what does one do there? Look around? Please help me 😢
Bhaiya you are so right! Riding like an Indian is the only way to survive Indian roads. The crazy thing is it works. You never know what India is going to throw at you🤔😂. She got me a couple of times, but All is well😊
How long are you planning to stay in kashmir KARL?
He looks like old pewdiepie 😂😲
Bhut hi achhe insaan hai aap m from India
Ohh wow. Srinagar is so beautiful! And I'm living in India... *Facepalm* cheers to you Karl, for braving the Indian roads!
BEST PART IS U R RIDING IN A PLACE WHERE MOST OF THEM FOLLOW RULES ..
PLEASE COME TO KOLKATA DELHI OR MUMBAI ...
A video with all the useful details. Can we ride motorcycles on Indian expressways ?. Thank you.
In India, realistically, trucks=bus>tempos>SUVs>sedans>small cars>rickshaws>motorbike>scooters> cycles> pedestrians.
That's the pecking order and if you don't wanna die, respect it.
The best thing of Kashmir is it is a valley. A pure valley. Here in the eastern state of Sikkim, the scenery is in the Himalayan foot. This is why Kashmir is so pretty. Too bad its wrecked with conflicts.
I am citizen of India. And when you say "I use horn for 4 purposes. 1st....2nd...3rd...4th..." I realized I never noticed those things. I just knew this. But still it's amzing to see from your perspective. Your vlogs put smile on my face.
Do you or anyone who's reading this comment know about similar channel for UK and US? I'm writing a novel. So I'll need basic things of those countries, just like What can a "blow horn" do in India.
Please reply if you know.

Riding a motorcycle can be risky everywhere but especially here
It is risky in himalayas, especially 3 states of himachal, uttarakhand and jnk. Also aome parts of north east
Not as risky as riding in the west. You travel fast & if you fall.. You most certainly die. Unlike India most of the time you'll get away with some bruises
The best thing about India is its people
After a maddening day at office, i use your videos to Detox. Cheers mate..!!
karl what do you do for a living ? How do you finance your travel to so many places...?
I used to work in IT in NZ. I saved my $$$
As you said it might rain I got rain in manglore
Thanks Karl Rock
Your my favourite RUclipsr
I love my India 🇮🇳 everything in one country
Bro your Hindi is amazing! How confidently you talk always! Look at their faces! Maza aagya!
Most important rule.. Your bike should have right side rear view mirror.
Hey Karl
Um from Srinagar myself, thanks for being here
Lets meet up buddy
You should try and set up a collaboration with the ADV China guys.
They are coming to India. You should definitely do a collab.
Interesting, the landscape reminds me of the alps in Europe, not the landscape you (I) normally associate with India.
See videos on other Indian hill states like Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Sikkim, Meghalaya, etc India has a lot to offer when it comes to mountains and snow.
Ofcourse western media portrays all the negative fake stuff...India has EVERY landform possibly
Amazing Karl ....what about a train ride from Srinagar to Banihal
Can I ride here if I've never rode a motorcycle before? Going with a friend later this year and we are looking into renting motorcycles to ride exactly where you went in this video.
Karl ... when it comes to motorcycle size/cc, tires, etc. ... what is your recommended choice of size range & type for travel in India.
Been to India a handful of times visiting friends & family however they stick to car, train, tuk tuk travel modes.
I drove a car in Hyderabad once for about 15min....🥴 ... 💓📈 ... ... Would like to bike the highways and rural areas next visit.
I'm a west coast Canadian. I rode an old Yamaha 650 around town for years. Looking at buying a Triumph Tiger 900 for a bit more dual purpose exploring. 1200cc and up is a nice highway cruiser size here for distance. Around 750 +/- for daily inter city works fine here. Probably much the same as in New Zealand but I've never been there.
I would expect in India a 350cc at the very most just judging from your vlog & from what I've seen out the window when there.
Nothing too heavy nor fast. Is an 80 or 125 more than adequate? Can't imagine my 50yr old butt and shaken eyeballs on an 80 for 400k straight... 🤣
