Just wish this form of cycle touring had been available in the 1960's, because I would have done it then. However its on my bucket list and although I am 75 I can still dream and watch this video. Well done both of you.
never too late!
big dreams come true, as chuckie said, NEVER TOO LATE!
My grandpa was still riding his Bike( E-Bike) with 83 on mountain passes in the alps. Our neighboor is 96 and she still rides down the hill in my hometown.
Eric Watson sir,
Google "Fauja Singh" and get inspired sir. I also plan to go on adventures when I retire. Hope to see you live your dreams. All the best sir. ^.^
Inspiring!!!!
Did this same journey earlier this year on a Royal Enfield Classic 500 from Manali to Leh and then over khardung la to Nubra Valley and then all the back. One of the best experiences of my life. Beauty on a scale I could hardly imagine. Huge respect for doing it on bicycles.
Bro!! On a bike it is normal. I too had a journey on a Enfield classic 350, but a huge round of applause to these guys for completing the journey on a bicycle!! Seriously, I cannot imagine myself riding on a bicycle at khardungla
Come again to India.. a new high pass UMLINGLA PASS has been opened...
It's at an insane 19000+ feet.. a new high!!
Umlingla pass is not open for civilians yet. So do not try to trespass.
A9 you can go there if you are from the army
Where is it?
@@connectdev3144 a different route to nubra valley...
Prior permission needed....not given always..
Yeah it is not for fucking civilians
This video needs at least 1 Million views
I wish the same
@@pradeepbaggam8112 it will get, bcoz it is from india,
I have watched this video like a 100 times and it still is so inspiring!
me too
can't stop watching
Same here
I completed ride upto Taglangla due to bad weather skipped Leh and also opted out Khardungla. But yes I met two Germans on MTB with 30 kg load on bike. These two riding with bags on is mind-blowing it's next to impossible to ride with bags on.
Absolutely fantastic. I loved every bit of this video. Having been to Leh, I couldn't help but notice and laugh when you clinked oxygen cans. Hats off to you guys!
And we love your videos pal....! :)
Thanks to you the two crazy wanderers on the highest roads and
Also for the artful video capture . Enjoyed the thrills and excitements of the breathtaking experience without the being “puffed out”
Toll free traveler ..man you are good 🕺
I love bike riding but could not able to go for long rides. It's my wish one day I visited Leh Ladakh. I respect for true rider's but my respect for u is one step ahead. Keep it up.
Well said dear
I went on motorcycle this august and i faced hypoxia at the khardungla top, and on the way i saw a lot of foreign people cycling, really you people are extremely fit. Cheers..
Love from india🇮🇳♥️..
I was also on Khardungla top at August 14th, but by bicycle.... when have you been there
I am from Jammu&Kashmir where u both were
India(🇮🇳)
Not the rapes, Not the politics, Not the poverty, Not the mediocrity, This is India, This is my country. India is beautiful. Amazing job with the camera mate! you really inspired me ride my bike through the himalayas some day!
Srijith Unni one of the best comments i’ve read. I love my beloved country india. I feel proud to say now that I am an INDIAN.
I hate the inability of people to help our mother India grow
Rapist country India
Great film, makes my touring in France look very tame.
You should come to India and see mountains here. My French friends loved it last year.
You should also visit Rajasthan and Gujrat it's very beautiful in every expects.
Fuck me, those are some gorgeous vistas.
India looks beautiful.
These videos allow me to realize how boring my life is.
Iraq must be anything but boring :P
U can make it exciting if you really want.
Love yuH
Love you too
It's all in the mind , see thing from different perspective
Welcome to India (Laddakh)
This is an insanely beautiful and inspiring video. To cycle to the top of the world is quite a feat. I am asthmatic and have severe breathing problems even in normal terrain but guess what, I have decided to train myself for this one. If I need to sign off from the world, better do it in style. Thank you.
Regards
Zo Hass, best wishes
Best wishes
Hey Zo it's just a matter of acclimatisation, the major town near by Khardungla(the world highest road), is generally used by travelers to acclimatise .... I myself am a chronic asthmatic and have been to that road and beyond 4 times.... And also have trekked beyond 20K...... You need to give your body a bit of time and need to be in a balanced shape with right fat percentage in the body to keep it at minimum fatigue risk..... But definitely doable....
ruclips.net/video/8ECdQ9Ae6XQ/видео.html have a look at this
I hope your wishes are fulfilled . If not, still rooting for you
Among all the aspiring bikers and western riders in Himalayas, these 2 are the best ever....unlike other littering lazy drunk tourist these 2 are Ecofriendly and helping nature coexist....Thnk you both...
Amazing. Well done lads. Makes me wish I was young again. I will show this to my 12 year old and tell him this is the type of adventure that makes you a better person...
a cycling video is more special for me than a motor cycle
amazing guys ...I never thought my country is so beautiful .love from India !
Ignorant bastard
Because u r watching with lots of prejudices...u asshole
Stop it guys..
I love you my INDIA
Travel Mera Bhai
Explore the cities around you first
And expand journey
Fark'n brilliant production and adventure lads. Very inspiring, well done.
this place is what 80% of Nepal looks like, absolutely mesmerizing!
This is Ladakh not Nepal buddy, it’s different
This is Ladakh not Nepal buddy, it’s different
@@tunduptsephel6554 bruh read that again, this is how 80% of nepal looks like, i am not claiming that this place's Nepal.
@@thelasttimeitookashowerwas7069 dude your username is crazy lol, made me laugh a lot, thanks :)
Na, Nepal doesn't look like even 10 % of Ladakh...and it's true
The amazing road can't beat amazing men, what an incredible journey!
When you mentioned the oxygen I sat on the couch and had to breathe. Fantastic video.
I love the don't-run-me-over sacred cow defense mechanism.
This is India 🔥 , clean and beautiful . Westerners think each and every part of India is filthy but that's not true.
Only western people's mind is filthy which was dumb by their so called unbiased media
so inspirational! I was going to save up money, but this video was my breaking point. I would rather travel and enjoy the nature. thank you so much! this video has brought me to tears. just beautiful!
Guys, I just had to watch this once and I'm frickin blown away at not only the amount of physical stress you went through but the fact that you guys took time out of the day to get these GORGEOUS SHOTS! You got yourself another subscriber! I'll spread the word. Awesome video guys!
Holy cow, seriously beautiful video. And that shot of you guys sacked out in the tent was so gratifying. Super well done, thanks for sharing this.
I’m a native choglamsar Leh currently live in the USA. I have been on those high passes 100’s of time. You must visit Leh via by road from manali to Leh. You will see the real paradise on earth.
This is paradise. Heaven on earth.
Good message for us gear heads who think you need the latest and the greatest to do a trip like that.
Amazing. We took some of these roads but not by cycle ;-) it seem to be very hard. Ladakh is so beautifull.
Spectacular Video!!
You make my country look so beautiful.
Now this is on my To Do List.
So inspiring. Thanks :)
the best thing i have seen on internet today
this is insane, you inspire me to do this. Can't wait to start my own adventure!!!
This video, along with the great music, never gets old.
I was looking after Tony Anderson music and I found this. Amazing cut with beautiful shots and music. I want to do videos like this in future :-) Greetings from Czech
Thanks Martin
Damn i didn't know India was so beautiful 😍
India is heaven
🤣😂

India has everything you want . Desert , tropical paradise , beach , mountains ( steep , grrasslands ) , plateaus , grasslands , lush green plains , everything
World thinks india only have deserts 😂😂 (come to manali enjoy some snow fall )
Visit us & experience our country 🙂
Laura and Ashley and you couples nailed it. I belong to that part of India where highest motorable road is there. I do cycling, I know how hard cycling in this harsh area, you couples really did great job. Thumbs-up. 👍
Went there few years ago, spent 18 hours on a cramped jeep from manali to leh. Which was really tiring for us..but its all worth it! Thinking of going there once again in couple years.. maybe on a bike this time.. great video guys! Great place too
Awesome work on camera there. Equally nice editing.
Been there, done that. Oxygen is a concern after all. Does not let you sleep much.
The best highlight reel of the Manali-Leh highway I've seen, great stuff! My partner and I did the Manali-Leh highway September 2015, topping off at the Khardung La on our last day. Was an incredible experience and made me appreciate being at sea level, headaches constantly, tingles all over from the diamox. The people are wonderful and hearing the encouraging shouts of Julay from passing bikes, cars, trucks and miscellaneous vehicles gave us the encouragement we needed to keep going.
When every Indian out there is donning the Bullet these days to take a trip to Ladakh, these lads do it on a bike. Amazing feat. Beautiful journey and landscape.
Amazing video.. Having goosebumps while watching it.
it makes me hard
I don't know why this beautiful video doesn't have much views
ohhh.. u guys bought the cycle from my locality...... when was all this shot...its really a great video... appreciate tha :D
this is one of my favourite videos of all time, seriously guys! extremely motivating! eagerly waiting for new videos, it's been a long time since you've uploaded something.
Thank you for the great video. You inspired me brother.
Another great video. You guys are living the dream. Keep them coming!
Amazing adventure and beautiful production! Thanks for sharing.
I have no words.....you guys are real superheros...love from India.....I am crying after seeing your video
Great video. Really high production quality guys. Enjoyed this tons. Thanks for posting!
This was amazing guys. You're fantastic story tellers.
beautifully edited and some of the shots you got were phenomenal considering it was just the two of you! The length was just right to watch casually, heck I could go in for a longer video but the pace and soundtrack were on point. It's weird when you get to inhospitable places on our own planet, it really puts into perspective the finite resources we need to flourish and yet humans have been for centuries
So inspirational! Another great production guys. Makes me want to go out and have an adventure.
Your video was inspiration to me. I completed the same trip last year from July 12th to 24th July through YHAI. I completely loved it. Thanks North South Team. Without this video, I wouldn't have completed the Manali - Leh - Khardongala Cycling Expedition.
A standing ovation to this video and to your beautiful incredible endeavour! I've done this route by car... unbelievable you did this arduous route by cycle all the way to India's highest motorable roads!!
incredible video ( awesome photography, the music, its perfect)!... but more than that, Im inspired by the incredible ride that you have done... I so so wanna do this too !
Thankx guys... this awesome production made the whole thing so much more exciting !
you 2 are just awesome !! Simply inspirational !!
Wow! Pinnacle in travel filmmaking!
Mate, loved the feeling I got from this video.. like a huge build up and then release when you got to the top. I don't cycle but this is an amazing place that I've visited on my motorbike :) very well filmed and put together. Cheers from Australia! You deserve more subscribers.
This deserves a million views
You took some really amazing shots. My head has blown away by your photography skills.
Awesome adventure, gorgeous footage, perfect soundtrack! Top Inspirational stuff!
absolutely incredible video--great work guys!
This takes me back and makes my feet itch for adventure. I did this with my boyfriend in 2013 also Spitti and Zanskar (put bikes on horse) valleys . You have produced a beautiful film. Muzza29 my boyfriend is 57 you don't have to be young
Dear north south group. I am watching your videos from last 2 years i dont get tired by watching them again and again. Your videos inspired me to buy a bicycle and pursue what i love.
You guys are absolutely to crazy but also an inspiration for all us to live life to the fullest.

This is all so beautiful and inspiring. Thanks for making this video.
Fantastic pictures, must have been a fantastic adventure, thanks for sharing!
I miss your films.. always great stuff.....
I don’t know why.. I keep coming back to this video. Hands-down, my favorite video on RUclips :-)
OMG, this film - I am a cyclist and also a mountaineer. I have lived and worked in India, close to the Himalia. I love and cherish those moments in the fellowship of Man. God bless you and keep, for me, you captured the essence of being alive. Let’s hope we see more from you 👍🤜🏽👌✊💪
Great going guys! Hats off to you for this feat!
Wow, great film and great job you have done!
Wow just when I thought RUclips is getting boring, along come you guys. Simply breath taking. Awesomeness!
I like how they just walked into a cycle shop "(we're) looking for mountain bikes!". Buy a couple of montras.
Really amazing work guys! completely inspired
This is the awesome traveling I ever seen... What a great spirit!
The views are absolutely stunning!
To me, the video looks as epic as your journey! I absolutely love this clip of yours! :-)
everything is epic, the scenery, the adventure, the filmaking and soundtrack, just awesome
one of d most breath taking video on youtube.......
Great quality filming..so clear
Wow this is incredible! Man this is so inspirational , thank you !
One of the best travel video..or I will say, the BEST travel video I ever saw... Thanks guys
After watching this video for the first time years ago and being inspired, me and my girlfriend just completed the Manali-Leh route in 7 days on our bikes. It’s every bit as incredible as this video. And it’s exhausting. Recommend it to anybody who wants an adventure.
Just so perfect!! I wish to make it someday like you two. Inspiring trip.
Wonderful job guys.
after watching this amazing journey all I can say is- long live and explore, the world is freaking awesome
WOW!. Amazing video. Very inspiring. I love to cycle in the mountains.( the italian and french alps). This must have been quite an adventure! FANTASTIC.
+Remy Jansen
Hi Remy, I plan to cycle in the region of the french and italian alps in 2016. Always good to get the local's opinion, do you have any recommendations of places I should visit? I plan to enter the mountains from the Provence/Cote d'Azure region. Thanks
Great to hear that you are planning to go cycling in France and Italy. I am more fimilar in France. if I have to recommend one, its for sure the mythical mountain Mont Ventoux, with the appropiate nickname "Giant of the Provence". Nearby you also have some short climbs, like the Gorges du Nesque.
Last summer I went to Briancon, where I did some nice and though climbs: Col du Izoard, Angel and one of my favourite the Col de la Bonette with. But their are a lot of other beautiful climbs.
The great thing about cycling in the Alps (apart of the view) is that everyone feels the same pain during the climb but more important the satisfaction and feeling of pride when reaching the top. Also great is meeting different cyclist from all over the world and hearing their stories.
I can’t wait to go to the mountains this summer. Enjoy your trip.
Thanks so much for the information, they all look like tough and beautiful climbs. I will look out for you in the mountains!
You guys nailed it. Deserve salute and respect, this video gives me goosebumps. Hatsoff to u guys
Excellent, Big SALUTE to both of you !
Beautiful! Really happy for you guys! That's happiness :)
Amazing guys .You give me the motivation. Thanks.
