Mr Benjamin from Bald & Bankrupt had posted a video where the thumbnail mentioned,"i visited India so that you don't have to ". He showed one part of Delhi . I am a Delhiite and agreed some part of it is filthy and something many of us don't even bother going. Blaming the whole nation is totally unacceptable . Delhi doesn't represent whole of India and i am glad many may view that it's just not bad as it has been told. God bless my friend. May you get everything you desire.
I am not sure who that guys is but it seems if he explore a bit more he would see India is an incredible, beautiful, unique and stunning country. It is sad that he missed out on all India has to offer. Thanks for watching.
@@freewayprojectThat sad thing was that he had explored India 5 years before. He lived in India for 4 years from 1995-99. He runs a hotel in Nainital/Rishikesh in India. Actually India gave him bread 2 times of the day, he started blogging from India gained almost 4 million followers and still drilled in the plate in which he ate. Truly shocking, he had uploaded very good parts of India which he explored 5 years earlier now he deleted it. Something fishy, either he is funded by Qatari/CCP/ISI propaganda or he is using India to revive he blogging career.
So true. Every city I've been to around the world has places you don't want to visit. India is amazing in so many ways...this video series makes that crystal clear. Very well done 🙏
haha, yes so many sign there with interesting saying, but if it get people to think well then they are doing there job. Thanks it's always great to hear you enjoyed the episode.
Joe, you come across as the sort of person I would gravitate towards if we met on the road. When I think back to my military training, we had to demonstrate four things, Courage, Determination, Unselfishness and Cheerfulness - mate, you have all these in abundance, that’s what makes it a great watch. This series is absolutely brilliant, Joe. Your presentation style is bang on 👍💪
I thought you were just being modest when you said she was a better photographer than you are but… Jody sure can take a good pic. Thanks again Joe for another amazing video. They just keep getting better.
Yer Jody got skills haha. Jody is really great with people and documenting their way of life. It's great to hear you are still enjoying the series Bruce, thanks for watching.
Joe, as a photographer, your videos are very inspiring and make me want to travel more. I thank you for sharing your journey with us. Hope we cross paths somewhere someday. 🫡
There is nothing better than traveling exploring and discovering amazing places like these. I hope you have a new journey in the planing. Thanks for watching
Thank you for the support Lee, it is greatly appreciated and will help with the next series. Jody is an amazing person and incredible photographer, you should check out her back story. I would like to do more with people but most people don't like being in front of camera. I hope you enjoy the rest of the series.
There was so much more to ride and the bike was still moving forward. if you see what I do to my dirt bike ( I drop it 10 - 20 times every ride) This looks like I am taking good care of the bike haha. I hope you are enjoying the series mate, it is an incredible place to ride and explore.
Yes it's wild how it is so desolate, then there is this green ribbon running through the landscapes Thanks for watching and commenting Garth, it does help.
What a wonderful life and endless experiences. Many tails to be told around the campfire. I am not an off road guy, a total disaster off road, got absolutely zero off road skills. I was build for speed on tarmac. I admire riders like you. Takes a special kind of person. I am not that. Love watching these expeditions though. I can enjoy the experience through your eyes. Keep going mate. Thx.
Thanks mate, yes the more journeys the more incredible memories. I have recently heard that the Indian government have tasked the BRO with sealing all the roads by 2028, so if you are keen, you could probably see all the same locations in a few year and get there on the tarmac. Thanks for watching, it's great to hear you are enjoying the series.
@@freewayprojecthaha, thx mate, but by then, 2028, I most likely be on crutches LOL. I am looking to buy the Kawi 1100 Versys 2025. I will need tarmac. I am 11 months away from retirement. I got to do Indie. After that, AUS. Would also love to do Russia and EU.
I must show my little farm bike some love and let it go on some dirt. Just an amazing place, incredible video. Were they confused when you asked for a clutch pedal?
yes let the farm bike run. Oh wait until next episode they are all over it up here. Again thank you for the continued support, there is more to come and planing for more is happening.
Another epic one, Joe! Photographer's dream over there for sure. And Jody's pics are absolutely stunning! But don't sell yourself short mate, yours are bloody amazing too mate 😎👍
This place is crazy mate, so many random side tracks. Jody's great with people and capturing the way they live. Still a lot more to come from this epic place.
Love the narration. The ride to the Himalayas, especially solo, is not just a ride. But soul searching. Nature shows you how small an entity you are. It humbles you
Thanks mate, it's great to hear you are enjoying the series. Yes the one thing I can not capture on camera and that you have to experience for yourself is the grandeur of the place, it's other worldly. Thanks for watching.
@@freewayproject with pleasure. If you are still in India, you can plan a trip around Karnataka and Kerala. I will gladly host you and join you on the ride. Some excellent bike rental places are in the south, and it's cheap to tour the south. Drop in your insta id i will connect
Your series is amazing , really. As I'm preparing my trip, you're pretty much checking all the areas I'm planning, such a big help. And that homestay is now on my map :).
Thanks mate, it's awesome to hear you are enjoy the series. I am going to do a video on what it was like as a first timer riding there, what I learn and hopefully some helpful tips at the end of this series. The homes stay is at Tirido if that helps
@@freewayproject cheers that's really helpful! I'm really looking forward to the next episodes as my guess is you rode the trail from Lamayuru to Padum via Sirsir La and maybe all the way to Manali via Shinku La. Wondering about the time it takes to do it, and the water crossings along the way :). Let's see !
I just love every single one of your videos, the Himalayas is one of my dream rides. It feels like I'm doing both research and riding when I watch your videos. Ride safe
Thanks mate, it's great to hear you are enjoying the series. If you do get the chance definitely do it, it's hard to describe, just one of the places you need to experience in person. Thanks for watching and commenting, it does help.
We had a lot of fun going off on detours this time too. And it was great to be able to relax at such a wonderful inn at the end of our trip. Please continue to enjoy yourself and be careful in the future.
It is a great place to explore as there are so many of those off road tracks. yes there are incredible places to say, you just wouldn't know if you didn't get off the main road. Thanks for your thoughts, yes I always ride well within my ability when riding alone. There's no rush.
Joe! Motorcycle Adventures = Worldly experiences. Meeting like-minded people like Jodie is fantastic. The experiences you are experiencing is gob smacking! I feel I'm there with you. To me that reflects how good you are at doing what you do. Excellent Joe!! 👏👏👏
Thanks Bob, It's great to know you are still enjoying the series. Yes it is great to meet up with interesting people along the journey, Jody's back story is pretty incredible. As always thanks for watching.
It is an incredible place to ride and explore, definitely worth the effort of getting here if you ever get the chance. There is still more to come in this journey. thanks for watching and commenting it does help.
Thanks mate, yes Jody is incredible with people and showing how they live, also anything around water. It's great to hear you are still enjoying the series.
Thanks mate, it is an incredible place to ride and explore, if you ever get the chance it is definitely worth it. It's great to hear you enjoyed the episode, thanks for watching.
Thank you for the support Jason, it is greatly appreciated and does help me continue these journeys, I hope you enjoying the reset of the series, thanks for watching.
Well Joe you did it again, this place is like a new gift that keep giving and giving, always amazed by all you encounter out there, wish I was able, this along with Patagonia I’ve always wanted to visit on a motorcycle but until then I’ll take these trips on the cuffs of others, and yes I’ll be checking out that lady’s website, thank you buddy and hang in there. Rob U.S.
You have got that right Rob the place just keeps on giving, when I think I have seen it all it throws out something new. Thanks for the continued support of watching mate.
What a great episode Joe,loving all the off road trails and as always amazing photos,your work is just as amazing as that women. Cheers,makes my Friday night ✨🎊
De rien, c'est super d'entendre que vous appréciez la série, quand je pense avoir vu tous les paysages ici, l'Himalaya continue de donner des paysages de plus en plus beaux et uniques. Merci d'avoir regardé
Absolutely loving this series! Love you enthusiasm and layer back attitude along with the stunning views and photography. I need to get a trip sorted with my friend to the Himilayas 😊
Thanks Andy, it's great to hear you are enjoying the series. If you going to do a trip up hear and like the dirt, do it next season, if you more keen to ride sealed roads then no rush, the Indian government has tasked the BRO to seal all roads by 2028. Thanks for watching
After this episode I have so many things to ask to dear Joe, i know this has to be the best episode of this journey..but i haven't rated down others episode as all r so close my heart as I am waiting for Fridays Joe's episode's..don't get mad at me but i want to appreciate so many things here by numbering them 1.incredible background music in this particular episode . 2. Thank you for introducing us to Jody..she is simply wow. 3.Do you feel emotional after going to through all these beautiful landscape? Now this episode makes me emotional don't know why.. 4.Really happy that Bike didn't broke down n still running condition 5.Thank you so much Joe to you and your family for this adventure and share it to us. 6. Yours photo's are always special. Treat to my eyes.
Jody is an incredible human, you should look into her back story it is very interesting. I do feel joy and wonder when riding through the landscapes. Oh the bike was fine, that is nothing compared to what I have done to my old Himalayan, I had to drag it off a step mountain track and dropped it 40 or 50 times and it just gets up and keeps on going, that's why I like riding these bike, they are built to handle this kind of stuff. It's great to hear you enjoyed this episode and thanks for the continued support of watching and commenting.
Oh Joe. Best episode yet!!! Bridges, bridges, bridges. Plenty of off road for you to enjoy. I can see Mongolia will be your next destination. You’d love it! Great chance meeting with Jody. Hoping you are working on a segment about doing u turns. Cheers Annie 🐧
Yes there were bridges everywhere, maybe one I should have taken instead of the water crossing haha. Yes I'll be looking at place to explore next northern summer and Mongolia is on that list.
Hi Joe, so funny but I stayed in that same homestay in August! Couldn't believe what I was seeing :) You even parked your bike in "my spot!" :) Lovely lady who runs it. Small world at times. I thought that it was the nicest homestay I've ever been, with lush gardens and spectacular mountains surrounding it.
I am glad I randomly decide to try find somewhere to stay when I saw the bridge. It was a really good homestay, the host, the food, the room the surroundings as you say were awesome. I was there in August too that is when this was filmed, it takes me a long time to edit each episode. It's like the night before running into Jody the photographer, random things happen all the time Thanks for watching, i hope you enjoy the remainder of the series.
haha, someone who understands why I have trouble putting the place into words. As you know would know it's hard to explain. Thanks for watching I hope you enjoyed it and I hope you had an epic ride when you were there.
Last 2 episodes have been brilliant mate. And don't sell yourself short Joe your photography is bloody awesome bud. And that place you stayed at with the big veggie patch yep sure did look peaceful. A place where you could stay for a couple of days and unwind. Cheers again Joe .👍🍻
As always it's great to hear you have been enjoying the episodes. it was quite a big veggie patch and actually went into the next paddock and that was double the size of the first one. It was a gem of a place. Thanks for watching.
Just picked up your channel . Can only pay my highest respect to your work , attitude and abilities. Been watching many motorcycle travelers and i believe you have raised the bar .
Thanks mate, it's great to hear you are enjoying the series, it is an incredible place to ride and explore and I'm enjoying making the episodes. Thanks for watching.
It look like such a lonely place to be - but lonely in a soul-searching, reflective, romantic kind of way. I was almost hoping you would take one of those dodgy bridges lol. Thank you for your videos, I look forward to them every week :) (plus I binge your older ones lol)
yes it has beauty in it's emptiness Chrissie. It hard to get across on camera the grandeur of the place. There are some dodge bridges to come haha. Thanks for watching and commenting it does all help.
Thanks mate, I can only imagine how much fun it was back then, a real adventure. I have heard the India government has tasked the BRO with sealing all the roads by 2028. Yes the one thing I can't capture one camera to share, the grandeur of the place, it just does not come across on camera, I felt very very small. Thanks for watching.
Well you would know how hard the experience is to explain and how although the footage might look good it's nothing like the being there, you just can't capture the grandeur. Thanks for watching.
Thanks mate, yes the Himalayas just keep delivering more unique and stunning landscapes, thanks for watching again That river has some depth if only the top of the excavator is sticking out.
Thanks David, it was a couple of great days of riding, the Himalayas just keeps giving. It's always great to hear you enjoyed the episode, thanks for watching.
It's great to hear you are still enjoying the series mate. Yes I am a fan of checking out some of these dodgy looking bridges as well, somehow the locals make them work. As always thanks for watching
After all the water crossings you have done which I have lost count off, I guess as you said it had to happen. At least you did it with style and on camera. Another excellent video.
haha, I should have kept filming, when I tried to pick the bike up I actually slipped over 3 times as there was slim on the rocks, I gather the crossing doesn't get used much seeing there is a perfectly good bridge right beside it haha, anyway once I had scraped all the slim off the rocks with the bottom of my boot I could actually get some purchase to get the bike up, but man was I out of breath doing that, I was still at over 4000m of altitude, I think I waited about 5 mins before talking to camera trying to get my breath back and you might of noticed I was still struggling to get my breath back. It's great to hear you're still enjoying the series, as always thanks for watching.
@freewayproject Yes, your shortness of breath was noticeable. I was wondering how high up you were at the time. Just a bit higher than Mt. Kosciuszko over here. You are hard core, mate. Stay safe.
It's great to hear you enjoyed the episode, I am about half way through this journey so there is still so much more to explore, I hope you enjoy the rest of the series, thanks for watching.
Thanks Charles, it's great to hear you enjoyed the episode.I do forget half the time as I am normally buggered for long days on the bike, from memory the first one was around $20 and the second was I think $25 but the lady dropped the normal price it as I got there later and left early in the morning.
It is an amazing place to ride and explore, You do come across people in towns but once out of the towns and villages it rare to come across people. I hope you enjoyed the episode, thanks for watching.
Yes Jody has some amazing story, after spending over a decade on a boat traveling the world. It always great to hear you enjoyed the episode Ben. Thanks for watching.
Loving the vids Joe. Was meant to go out there a couple of years back but family stuff ‘happened’.. It looks like that place could forever change you as a person, really touch your soul & truly humble you to the power of nature.. keep it up & stay safe
Sorry to hear that, hopefully you get to go in the future it is definitely worth the effort, if you like riding dirt roads and tracks, just know that the Indian government have tasked the BRO with sealing all the roads up here by 2028. Thanks for watching, I hope you enjoy the rest of the series.
Thanks Mark, it's great to hear you are enjoying the series. Yes levers you can bend back or replace easier, was told very early on never try to save the bike they are built to be dropped. Thanks for watching.
It is mind blowing this place, what doesn't come across is the scale, where I said this is the biggest sandy hill I have ever seen 17.34 if you look really closely there are black dots just to the left of centre on the hill, they are massive trucks driving up into the sandy valley. In winter the whole place is covered in snow so a different type of desolate. Yes that was a great find the last home stay. Thanks for watching as always Neil.
Nice one Joe another great episode, those green patches of land in such remote barren places and people making a living there unbelievable I wonder what it all looks like in winter ? Safe riding Thanks Dave
Yes it so barren then you come around a corner to this bright green strip it wild. The whole place is under snow in winter, the pervious episode wit the lake, the whole lake freezes over, the Indians and Chinese arm had a skirmish on top of the lake not to long ago, (they made a deal they couldn't use guns so it bats and fists). It's great to know you're still enjoying the series.
Yeah! New episode and familiar location again! Loved how the tracks just "disappeared" 😂 Renewing interest for my possible 3rd ride in 2026, 8th for some of my friends 😅
I can see why you and your friends keep going back, I barely scratch the surface and still so much out there. So many side tracks too. Thanks for watching and commenting it does make a difference.
Hey Joe - been following this journey and just completed 15 days up there riding many of the same roads - I’ve sent your series to my mates and family and said if you want to know what it was like, just watch this! Cheers
Thanks Brent, it is an incredible place to ride and explore as you know, also you'll know it virtually impossible to capture the grandeur of the place, that's one thing you have to be there to experience yourself. Thanks for watching and sharing mate.
I know her work, she's amazing! But, you know what? You’re pretty good too. 😁 I bent the shifter on my 411 not too long ago, handlebars too. I've since replaced both with more sturdy items.
Jody is awesome in capturing people and the way they live, there is so much to each of her images and she is pretty epic with anything to do with water. Yer normally the levellers bend back easily, but once bent back 180 degrees it was a lot harder to try and bend and I felt it would break of the spline before it bent back, I am not a material scientist but I know metal does have it's limits so Thought it safer to level it until l can get to a place to sort it.
I think it's first time I didn't watch new episode on Friday! Shame on me. Hey at least this time I need to wait just 6 days instead of 7. 🙂 Again, awesome episode! 🎉
My man out here exploring the real good part of India instead of clichéd touristy places🙌
It is an amazing area to ride and explore, so so good. Thanks for watching I hope you enjoyed it.
Exactly 💯
Enjoying it? LOVING it mate!
Mr Benjamin from Bald & Bankrupt had posted a video where the thumbnail mentioned,"i visited India so that you don't have to ". He showed one part of Delhi . I am a Delhiite and agreed some part of it is filthy and something many of us don't even bother going. Blaming the whole nation is totally unacceptable . Delhi doesn't represent whole of India and i am glad many may view that it's just not bad as it has been told. God bless my friend. May you get everything you desire.
I am not sure who that guys is but it seems if he explore a bit more he would see India is an incredible, beautiful, unique and stunning country. It is sad that he missed out on all India has to offer.
Thanks for watching.
@@freewayprojectThat sad thing was that he had explored India 5 years before. He lived in India for 4 years from 1995-99. He runs a hotel in Nainital/Rishikesh in India.

@@freewayproject You seem to have captured the essence here that many have Not even after several multiple trips to India.
So true. Every city I've been to around the world has places you don't want to visit. India is amazing in so many ways...this video series makes that crystal clear. Very well done 🙏
Iddiot we all forgot him . Best reply is to forget bald and bankrupt 😊
LOL! "Feel the curves don't hug them". Another epic video, thanks.

I really enjoyed the human aspect of this episode. 😊

Great content, thanks Joe. PS Yaks were great..
haha they were the cruisiest animal, nothing bothered them or spooked them like cows do.
You went for more adventure after that crash and after bending of gear lever. I salute you man.
There was so much more to ride and the bike was still moving forward. if you see what I do to my dirt bike ( I drop it 10 - 20 times every ride) This looks like I am taking good care of the bike haha.
I hope you are enjoying the series mate, it is an incredible place to ride and explore.

Thanks Geoff, as always it's great to hear you enjoyed the episode, that one was a bit longer but there were so many tracks to explore haha.
How Jody described India as "magical" is so accurate
couldn't agree more.
Encore de merveilleux paysages merci pour ce partage, vivement la suite!!!
De rien, c'est super d'entendre que vous appréciez la série, quand je pense avoir vu tous les paysages ici, l'Himalaya continue de donner des paysages de plus en plus beaux et uniques. Merci d'avoir regardé
A National Geographic Photographer! There is a career to aspire to, that looked like a pretty amazing ride from where I'm sitting
It was another great day on the bike in this amazing place, I hope you enjoyed the episode, thanks for watching.
Absolutely loving this series! Love you enthusiasm and layer back attitude along with the stunning views and photography. I need to get a trip sorted with my friend to the Himilayas 😊
Thanks Andy, it's great to hear you are enjoying the series. If you going to do a trip up hear and like the dirt, do it next season, if you more keen to ride sealed roads then no rush, the Indian government has tasked the BRO to seal all roads by 2028.
Thanks for watching
After this episode I have so many things to ask to dear Joe, i know this has to be the best episode of this journey..but i haven't rated down others episode as all r so close my heart as I am waiting for Fridays Joe's episode's..don't get mad at me but i want to appreciate so many things here by numbering them
1.incredible background music in this particular episode .
2. Thank you for introducing us to Jody..she is simply wow.
3.Do you feel emotional after going to through all these beautiful landscape? Now this episode makes me emotional don't know why..
4.Really happy that
Bike didn't broke down n still running condition
5.Thank you so much Joe to you and your family for this adventure and share it to us.
6. Yours photo's are always special. Treat to my eyes.
Jody is an incredible human, you should look into her back story it is very interesting.
I do feel joy and wonder when riding through the landscapes.
Oh the bike was fine, that is nothing compared to what I have done to my old Himalayan, I had to drag it off a step mountain track and dropped it 40 or 50 times and it just gets up and keeps on going, that's why I like riding these bike, they are built to handle this kind of stuff.
It's great to hear you enjoyed this episode and thanks for the continued support of watching and commenting.
Oh Joe. Best episode yet!!! Bridges, bridges, bridges. Plenty of off road for you to enjoy.
I can see Mongolia will be your next destination. You’d love it! Great chance meeting with Jody. Hoping you are working on a segment about doing u turns.
Cheers Annie 🐧
Yes there were bridges everywhere, maybe one I should have taken instead of the water crossing haha. Yes I'll be looking at place to explore next northern summer and Mongolia is on that list.
Hi Joe, so funny but I stayed in that same homestay in August! Couldn't believe what I was seeing :)
You even parked your bike in "my spot!" :)
Lovely lady who runs it. Small world at times.
I thought that it was the nicest homestay I've ever been, with lush gardens and spectacular mountains surrounding it.
I am glad I randomly decide to try find somewhere to stay when I saw the bridge. It was a really good homestay, the host, the food, the room the surroundings as you say were awesome. I was there in August too that is when this was filmed, it takes me a long time to edit each episode.
It's like the night before running into Jody the photographer, random things happen all the time
Thanks for watching, i hope you enjoy the remainder of the series.
I totaly understand your enthousiasm, 3 1/2 weeks ago is was riding there. Hanle and surroundings are beautifull
haha, someone who understands why I have trouble putting the place into words. As you know would know it's hard to explain. Thanks for watching I hope you enjoyed it and I hope you had an epic ride when you were there.
@@freewayproject oh yes, i enjoyed it a lot. You can't bring it over to someone ho hasn't been there. Pictures don't tell what you feel
Love your journey, mate. Awesome photos. Keep up the great video's.
Thank Neville, it has been an incredible ride so far. It's great to hear you are enjoying the series.
Last 2 episodes have been brilliant mate. And don't sell yourself short Joe your photography is bloody awesome bud. And that place you stayed at with the big veggie patch yep sure did look peaceful. A place where you could stay for a couple of days and unwind. Cheers again Joe .👍🍻
As always it's great to hear you have been enjoying the episodes. it was quite a big veggie patch and actually went into the next paddock and that was double the size of the first one. It was a gem of a place.
Thanks for watching.
Awesome! Looking forward to the photography workshop.
Loved this episode as usual. Thank you Joe
Jody's trips/workshops would be awesome. Thanks mate, as always it's great to hear you enjoyed the episode.
You keep on making great Videos Bro always entertaining Mango
Thank Mango, as always it's great to hear you enjoyed the episode, thanks for watching again.
Just picked up your channel . Can only pay my highest respect to your work , attitude and abilities. Been watching many motorcycle travelers and i believe you have raised the bar .
Thanks mate, it's great to hear you are enjoying the series, it is an incredible place to ride and explore and I'm enjoying making the episodes. Thanks for watching.
Some of the best places on the planet for 🚴
definitely, it is an incredible place to ride and explore. I hope you enjoyed the series.
It look like such a lonely place to be - but lonely in a soul-searching, reflective, romantic kind of way. I was almost hoping you would take one of those dodgy bridges lol. Thank you for your videos, I look forward to them every week :) (plus I binge your older ones lol)
yes it has beauty in it's emptiness Chrissie. It hard to get across on camera the grandeur of the place. There are some dodge bridges to come haha.
Thanks for watching and commenting it does all help.
The scenery seems to get better with each episode. An amazing place to ride a motorcycle.
Your photography is pretty special, too.
Best wishes 👍
Yes Alan, the Himalayas just keep delivering more spectacular places to explore. Thanks continuing to watch.
Props to your back for keeping up after all those off roading you did these past weeks.
The body has had no issue so far, hopefully it holds up to the end of the trip. I hope you enjoyed the episode, thanks for watching.
@@freewayproject bless you 🙌
Fantastic video yet again. Never disappoints. ENJOYED!!!
as always it's great to hear you enjoyed it. I am still blown away by the place.
Great stuff . The roads have improved since I was last there in 2010 . Makes you feel very small !! Thanks
Thanks mate, I can only imagine how much fun it was back then, a real adventure. I have heard the India government has tasked the BRO with sealing all the roads by 2028.
Yes the one thing I can't capture one camera to share, the grandeur of the place, it just does not come across on camera, I felt very very small.
Thanks for watching.
Another awesome production Joe. All the Best. Mark
Thanks Mark, as always it's great to hear you are still enjoying the series.
Great episode ❤. I'm glad i found your channel.
I'm back home after doing the whole himalayan ride for a month, already missing the place.
Well you would know how hard the experience is to explain and how although the footage might look good it's nothing like the being there, you just can't capture the grandeur. Thanks for watching.
Stunning stuff Joe, loved the excavator in the river, such a lot of beauty, thanks for sharing
Thanks mate, yes the Himalayas just keep delivering more unique and stunning landscapes, thanks for watching again
That river has some depth if only the top of the excavator is sticking out.
Stunning job sir!
Im sure you will be back next season.
Thanks mate, it's great to hear you enjoyed the episode., I'll definitely be back, there is so much more still to explore. Thanks for watching.
Awesome trip so far. Well done Joe. Stay safe mate.
Thanks Scott, is has been incredible I hope you enjoy the rest off the series.
Another amazing video! I can't wait for the upcoming Episode 9.🙂🙂
Thanks David, it was a couple of great days of riding, the Himalayas just keeps giving. It's always great to hear you enjoyed the episode, thanks for watching.
Loving the series Joe especially some of them dodgy looking bridges 👍
It's great to hear you are still enjoying the series mate. Yes I am a fan of checking out some of these dodgy looking bridges as well, somehow the locals make them work. As always thanks for watching
After all the water crossings you have done which I have lost count off, I guess as you said it had to happen. At least you did it with style and on camera. Another excellent video.
haha, I should have kept filming, when I tried to pick the bike up I actually slipped over 3 times as there was slim on the rocks, I gather the crossing doesn't get used much seeing there is a perfectly good bridge right beside it haha, anyway once I had scraped all the slim off the rocks with the bottom of my boot I could actually get some purchase to get the bike up, but man was I out of breath doing that, I was still at over 4000m of altitude, I think I waited about 5 mins before talking to camera trying to get my breath back and you might of noticed I was still struggling to get my breath back.
It's great to hear you're still enjoying the series, as always thanks for watching.
@freewayproject Yes, your shortness of breath was noticeable. I was wondering how high up you were at the time. Just a bit higher than Mt. Kosciuszko over here. You are hard core, mate. Stay safe.
WOW! What a journey! Love the adventure 🤩Stay safe!
It's great to hear you enjoyed the episode, I am about half way through this journey so there is still so much more to explore, I hope you enjoy the rest of the series, thanks for watching.
Excellent!
It's great to hear you enjoyed the episode, thanks for watching.
great videos thanks Joe, would be good to add costs for homestays for info.
Thanks Charles, it's great to hear you enjoyed the episode.I do forget half the time as I am normally buggered for long days on the bike, from memory the first one was around $20 and the second was I think $25 but the lady dropped the normal price it as I got there later and left early in the morning.
Your really adventure ing, hardly have to deal with anyone, or so it seams. Having a fun time.
It is an amazing place to ride and explore, You do come across people in towns but once out of the towns and villages it rare to come across people. I hope you enjoyed the episode, thanks for watching.
Can't wait for the next one man!!!
Thanks mate, it's great to know you are enjoying the series, it is an incredible place to be riding and exploring.
Love the series!
It's great to hear you are enjoying the series, thanks for watching.
Another incredible adventure 🔥
Thanks mate, it is some much fun exploring here.
Another great episode, looking forward to more!👍
Thanks as always mate, the Himalayas just keeps giving.
Much respect to Jody.Another great vid. Reckon your photos are pretty damn good mate.
Yes Jody has some amazing story, after spending over a decade on a boat traveling the world. It always great to hear you enjoyed the episode Ben. Thanks for watching.
Loving the vids Joe. Was meant to go out there a couple of years back but family stuff ‘happened’..
It looks like that place could forever change you as a person, really touch your soul & truly humble you to the power of nature.. keep it up & stay safe
Sorry to hear that, hopefully you get to go in the future it is definitely worth the effort, if you like riding dirt roads and tracks, just know that the Indian government have tasked the BRO with sealing all the roads up here by 2028.
Thanks for watching, I hope you enjoy the rest of the series.
Great to see another episode Joe. Also, great to see you Chanel growing.
Thanks mate, I hope you enjoyed the episode it was a little longer but so much happened.
Epic Joe...loved it! Serious scenery too. I guess a bent lever is easier than a busted ankle 😬
Thanks Mark, it's great to hear you are enjoying the series. Yes levers you can bend back or replace easier, was told very early on never try to save the bike they are built to be dropped.
Thanks for watching.
Agree 100 percent mate
Another poetry video... Beautiful. Thanks.❤
Thank, it's great to hear you enjoyed the episode, thanks for watching.
once again, amazing desolate country. Must be so amazingly different in the winter (or maybe not?). That final homestay is in a great spot! Cheers,
It is mind blowing this place, what doesn't come across is the scale, where I said this is the biggest sandy hill I have ever seen 17.34 if you look really closely there are black dots just to the left of centre on the hill, they are massive trucks driving up into the sandy valley.
In winter the whole place is covered in snow so a different type of desolate.
Yes that was a great find the last home stay.
Thanks for watching as always Neil.
Great movie again joe, keep safe and have a great ride
Thanks mate, I'd always great to hear you enjoyed the episode, thanks for watching.
13:40 I've got one of those gripper mounts, by Dango design. Really good product!
It seems they are the ways to go, thanks for letting me know you also find they are good and thanks for watching, I hope you enjoyed the episode.
wishing you all the best memories from INDIA.
😃😃
Thanks you mate, it has been an epic journey so many amazing places and people. I hope you enjoy the rest of the series.
Nice one Joe another great episode, those green patches of land in such remote barren places and people making a living there unbelievable
I wonder what it all looks like in winter ?
Safe riding
Thanks
Dave
Yes it so barren then you come around a corner to this bright green strip it wild. The whole place is under snow in winter, the pervious episode wit the lake, the whole lake freezes over, the Indians and Chinese arm had a skirmish on top of the lake not to long ago, (they made a deal they couldn't use guns so it bats and fists).
It's great to know you're still enjoying the series.
Yeah! New episode and familiar location again!
Loved how the tracks just "disappeared" 😂
Renewing interest for my possible 3rd ride in 2026, 8th for some of my friends 😅
I can see why you and your friends keep going back, I barely scratch the surface and still so much out there. So many side tracks too.
Thanks for watching and commenting it does make a difference.
Hey Joe - been following this journey and just completed 15 days up there riding many of the same roads - I’ve sent your series to my mates and family and said if you want to know what it was like, just watch this! Cheers
Thanks Brent, it is an incredible place to ride and explore as you know, also you'll know it virtually impossible to capture the grandeur of the place, that's one thing you have to be there to experience yourself. Thanks for watching and sharing mate.
Very nice video
Thanks Anthony, It's great to hear you enjoyed the episode, I hope you enjoy the rest of the series. Thanks for watching.
Nice one Joe always a pleasure watching your adventures from Perth Western Australia 🇦🇺
Thanks mate, it's great to hear you are enjoying the series, for the state of exploring WA.

@@freewayproject you're living the dream mate, I'm just along for the ride
Absolutely Loved it
Thanks, I hope you enjoyed the rest of the series. Thanks for watching.
Epic. Thanks Joe
Thanks Jim, it's great to hear you enjoyed the episode.
I’ve been using my dango designs gripper mount for 8 years, very versatile 👍🏻
Thanks for letting me know mate it's great to get more opinions on it.
Thanks for watching I hope you enjoyed the episode
@@freewayproject always enjoy the Friday night viewing, even though I’m a day late lol
Simply Beautiful
exactly Ralf, the area is just that, simply beautiful. Thanks or watching
I know her work, she's amazing! But, you know what? You’re pretty good too. 😁 I bent the shifter on my 411 not too long ago, handlebars too. I've since replaced both with more sturdy items.
Jody is awesome in capturing people and the way they live, there is so much to each of her images and she is pretty epic with anything to do with water.
Yer normally the levellers bend back easily, but once bent back 180 degrees it was a lot harder to try and bend and I felt it would break of the spline before it bent back, I am not a material scientist but I know metal does have it's limits so Thought it safer to level it until l can get to a place to sort it.
Oh my my… what an amazing beauty.. Thank you Jo for showing us breathtaking views. Keep rocking buddy
Thanks mate, it's great to hear you enjoyed the episode, thanks for watching, I hope you enjoy the rest of the series
I think it's first time I didn't watch new episode on Friday! Shame on me.
Hey at least this time I need to wait just 6 days instead of 7. 🙂
Again, awesome episode! 🎉
haha, I am just glad you enjoyed the episode mate, as always thanks for watching.
