It’s so so obvious why you returned to India. Absolutely gorgeous and plenty of rocks for the rock lady. I laughed out loud when you said “I don’t look Indian” hilarious! The drone footage was just amazing. Really enjoying your venture.
I have stayed at Turtok for 2 years during early 1990s, there were no roads then, only rocky tracks for military vehicles. The area is so much developed now. During my days, there was nothing for miles.
I’ve seen travelogues with camera crews and drivers and writers and producers that aren’t nearly so engaging as this one. Noraly always delivers. Amazing.
Welcome back to Ladakh, India.....thanks for reliving my memories of all the panoramic spectacular & scenic mountains, roads, streams and Pangong Lake where i served during my army days. Stay Safe and Happy Riding.
I've only started following you on YT recently and I finished Season 7 in one sitting and worked my way down (in reverse order) to Season 1. 😆 I was completely mesmerized by the beauty of West Africa by the time I done watching the first few episodes. The way you capture the landscapes, giving bits of knowledge about the places you're visiting, interacting with people with such respectful manners and eloquency has gained my respect. Not to mention, your endless curiosity and level headedness even in hard situations! I think I found a new favorite channel to tune in. 🛎 I hope you're safe and protected in every journey you take. May you encounter kind helpful people along the way. Love from Indonesia.
Impressive! My girlfriend doesn't know but I am in love with this woman! Such a kind and humble human being, I feel her vibration every time I watch a video, sometimes i watch her videos just for the vibe I get. I pray for this woman to be safe and well loved.
These landscapes and vistas are mind boggling, and the drone footage creates a sense of space and time i haven’t seen anywhere else. It really is awesome, in the true sense of the word. I think this is the best travel vlog of any media outlet, including network and legacy outlets available to me in Australia right now. Bloody beaudy mate
We can never say thank you enough for showing us these magnificent landscapes. your videos are always made with a lot of humility and kindness which adds charm to them
Loving your India ride Noraly, the mountain ranges, valleys and rivers ....the people - everything really are so beautiful in their own unique settings. Thank you.
You seem to take us to some of grandest places on earth and show us how different cultures, the regular folks, just get along. I am delighted you are in wild places again. Thank you.
Choosing India as the last stop before heading off to Africa is such a great decision, the mountains & the people it's all very serene can't wait for more!!!
At least Royal Enfield values Noraly enough to sponsor her. Honda won't even help out with replacement parts for Alaska! Maybe it's time to consider asking RE if they would at least provide parts if Alaska needs to be retired. Alaska has been such a great advertisement for Honda...
Another beautiful adventure in India! The scenery is amazing and people are so accommodating. Your aerial footage is great. You found a nice place to stay the night with a nice family. Ride safe Noraly!
I'm amazed by the scenes and how isolated the areas around the borders. I admire your courage and dedication to continue the journey. Greetings from Turkiye.
There was a time there were more people there...but started to move into Delhi and Mumbai for opportunities due to lack of Infrastructure back then.... But now thing are changing in last 7-8 years since this Govt came Migration kinda slowed down...tourism started growing there , electricity reached there, Homestay and Hotel business are growing too... Hope things continue to grow there sustainably ( i dont want to see another SHIMLA...how People overcrowded it)
It's kind of weird, people's enthusiasm living in isolated areas. Nature should be left alone if not needed. Even though the new technologies changes our lives the daily life routines goes simple there. Food, shelter and so on. @@arpanabinaswar1811
unfortunately your current govt is in a constant state of making statements regarding those bordering states in support of pakistan and funding their separatist extremists, trying to disturb the lives of these beautiful peaceful people. The people of turkey are very good in general, not like their m0r0nic govt.
@@arpanabinaswar1811 the real reason behind the underdevelopment of border regions was a policy of the Indian government and army to prevent invading Chinese troops from using the infrastructure like roads, tunnel etc. This policy was changed around 2010 if I remember correctly.
Any travel video I’ve ever seen seems to only show the majorly congested cities of India, noise, pollution and seeming chaos. I really appreciate seeing this part of India which seems beautiful, mostly peaceful and calm. I live in a place surrounded by mountains, I can revel in their beauty almost every day (it never gets “old”). But these mountains have their own beauty and charm. The people too. (And the puppies were adorable too)! Thanks for sharing,@Noraly. Definitely liked. 👍👍

Being an Indian myself I have never been to congested places. I live in coastal south India Karnataka, peaceful small beach town. I wonder why people visit Delhi, Mumbai and other metro cities. There are so many beautiful second tier cities India has to offer..

@AnnikaS-jc5je yes , same with me. I don't like vlogs of mumbai, delhi, kolkata , bangluru , jaipur , agra . I am from rajasthan and i like rural villages more then any metro cities . I don't understand why most of foreigners visit metro cities which they alr see in their countries. These cities are noisy and polluted. India has so many natural beautiful landscapes . In mountains and beaches . So many cultures. From east to west north to south . I think a village of mountain or a beach is 10× beautiful then TAJ Mahal , Hawa Mahal , Gateway of india or any buliding combined .
The landscape, mountainscape is like out of this world.. Most of the riding time seems like you got the road to yourself only. Thanks again for this wonderful ride shared with us. See you again Wednesday. Keep safe Noraly
Incredible views Noraly. Wonderful contrast between little meadows & green clusters of growth & the steep banks of boulders moving upwards to the peaks. Your views of some of the World’s highest peaks nothing short of spectacular. Another great video well narrated by you Noraly. Thanks.
I'm impressed by how well that bike handled the rocks on the road. Don't think I've ever seen you ride like that, just pure trust and confidence in your bike.
Ich bin 64 Jahre alt ,vor 41 Jahren bin ich mit meinem Partner , einem VW Käfer und einem Zelt 10 Monate durch Südamerika gereist damals ohne Handy ,Internet,GPS, etc. Deine Videos erinnern mich stark an diese aufregende,faszinierende Zeit.
Itchy Boots, you are amazing. You have ignited my long-lost passion to see the world. With your videos, I feel like visiting all those tracks by myself. Most importantly, the way you narrate things makes your videos more interesting. What a life you are living! What a video!!
From @16:50 on looks like where the World was born.😮 Just so vast and breathtaking... thank you ever so much Noraly for a wonderful Sunday morning ride!! Stay safe. ✨️♥️
Hermoso el vídeo sobre el templo budista, emocionante y bien elegido el canto del Mantra Vajra Guru en homenaje al maestro Padmasambhava. Ruego que las oraciones te protejan en tus viajes. 🙏
Very glad you chose to come back to India, and on that motorcycle too! You seem very comfortable on the new Himalayan, almost like no time has passed since you started your journey years ago. However - you return armed with the knowledge, experience and confidence you have gained through your many travels since then, and it shows - you are ready for whatever you may encounter. You have come full circle, literally and figuratively. The visuals you captured are truly spectacular - as always, thanks for bringing us along as you explore the wild corners of our little planet! 😉
WOW ITCHY BOOTS!! What unbelievably stunning and spectacular scenery and landscapes! So incredibly lucky to witness this through your lens and with your music choice and commentary as a bonus!! I’m not a bike person but I so enjoy the mountains and nature and your ability to capture such fabulous shots!! Your passion is truly demonstrated in your videos!! Thank you for sharing that with us!! Also noticed that the people of India truly love you! The comment section has just exploded with their love for you!! And the subs keep climbing! Just love it Noraly!! Cheers from Texas USA❤❤
Hi Lucinda, hope you are doing well - Agree Noraly is back in all her glory! Yes we've been reading the comments for months from India people begging her to come back. Not that we weren't head-over-heels with Noraly before, but as cliche goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder. Everything happens for a reason and I felt from the time she broke her hand something good will come from it. Her subscribers continued to climb even when not putting out new videos! Peace!
Hey Jason! Yes it’s all true. We all love Itchy Boots and the people of India really express it! I believe Noraly has a special place in her heart for India!! It’s great to see! Enjoy your weekend!@@jasonzerbini2375
VERY GLAD to see you back in the saddle Nora !!! LOVE the exotic locals you get to visit, the colors, people, food, customs, and natural beauty of it all. MANY THANX, and happy, continued, bon voyage !!!
Great videos, this and the last, such a different and amazing view of India than you typically get from the typical travel journals or other video sources. One of the things that one can't help but notice is your absolute delight at being there. Safe travels, and happy motorbiking.
Ladakh's Himalayas are a testament to nature's grandeur and a destination that truly leaves visitors in awe of its remarkable scenery. Its good to see you in himalayas with a beautiful smile on your face. And i love how you greet strangers.. keep exploring noraly
Your rally content is fun, but nothing beats real-world adventures in unfamiliar places, meeting new people and cultures! Thank you for bringing us along!
It’s wonderful to have you back Itchy Boots travelling. You take us to places we would never be able to go but for you wanting to share it with us. It’s incredible mountains , valleys and cultures. Awesome video marking…..i could watch your travels all day long(and sometimes do). Looking forward to the next video. Thankyou for wanting to take us with you.😊
So beautiful. Love how to switch from front camera to drone to back camera, etc. makes the videos more like reality for us. Love when you tell us the food - curious what people eat in these foreign lands.
The last two episodes have, at least for myself, been the best of the season so far. Beautiful scenery, great riding, and interesting breaks between the riding .
Started watching the channel sometime back. I was tempted to skip and watch the story but then decided to go through all the previous episodes in order. Season 1 to the present. Respect you.
I just love how you show the world that are nice no matter which race they are. and the people with the least are the ones that give the most. Can't wait for the full review on the new bike.
Fantastic, Noraly. Great part of the world to be riding - stunning vistas, challenging roads, incredible people. The mountains just seem to have this amazing positive affect on the phyche too, I find. Glad to see your hand is well healed too. Ride on!!!
I LOVED IT💖 After you were told no foreigner beyond that point and eventually allowed it was so worth it because the landscape gets from amazing to incredible ... the drone footage alone showing the river meandering along those mountains ... Thank you, it was spectacular!!! GO ITCHY BOOTS, GO ... 🏍🏍🏍
Wow !!! Noraly chooses the most appropriate background music for her drone footage… the final product is just incredibly mesmerising. The melodious music and the desert mountain landscapes are heart tugging , makes one want to wander off into an adventure of one’s own. Gorgeous !! As always , a job well done Itchy Boots. You chose the right place and the perfectly right time to ride into Ladakh , its an astonishing place. Best wishes and prayers for you , enjoy the Himalayan adventure 👍
Im glad for you and thankful to that chekpost guy who recognized you and let you go further. Enjoy your ride and let the people see this beautiful world through your videos...
Wow Noraly, with these first 2 videos from India its easy to see why you were immediately hooked on adventure bike travel when you rented that Royal Enfield in 2018! Spectacular scenery (and beautifully presented). Thanks for bringing us along this time!
Our patience is rewarded with another video! Lovely intro! I had a feeling of peace and serenity as soon as I clicked the play button. The way you assemble each component; video, music, drone, narration, cinematography, etc and create something that draws viewers in is magical. I am so happy for you to be riding such spectacular mountain roads, even though a bit chilly and hard to breath. I'm riding with you in spirit. On a side note I always meant to comment how much I love your IB logo. It is a genius design. Thank you Noraly. Peace! ❤❤❤
Firstly, I must say RE has done a fabulous job with the bike, it just chugs along and conquers the most difficult terrain in the world at such high altitudes. Secondly no one captures nature as well as you do. Look forward to more drone shots in next video.
although to be fair, the roads have improved a lot since 2014 (the last time I was there) and RE is designed for this sort of terrain... I did it in 2013 and 2014 on a honda 225 with a pillion, fully loaded 70L panniers (basically stuff for 2 people for a 19 day trip) with regular street tyres... kinda like those guys in africa tackling crazy terrain in 125s :D
Noraly tiene la capacidad de quitar el aliento con sus tomas espectaculares, ruteando por el techo del mundo. Tengo que compartir este capítulo, que no me esperaba, para verlo con más tranquilidad y a pantalla completa. Muchas gracias.
It seems as though it was a wonderful ride today. The mountain roads were spectacular. The colors in the mountains were beautiful, and also too the blues of the rivers and lakes. Wonderful video, thanks, sy
What a beautiful video of an amazing day! This vast landscape is *so* refreshing, after western Africa's mud and jungle. And Royal Enfield's decision to allow Noraly's use of their brand new, as yet unreleased Himalayan 450 for her popular channel is a brilliant idea.
It’s great to watch & listen how you maneuver your way through the terrains. You have nerves of steels! But it’s your ease with the road and enthusiasm that helps me enjoy the moments & scenery along with you. Thanks Noraly! 😊
Нашел случайно ваш канал ( собираюсь купить новый Гималай и смотрю на что он способен) и не могу оторваться от просмотра видео! какая же вы позитивная, смелая и очень красивая!!! Успехов вам и берегите себя!!!
What a life you are living Noraly...hope you take a moment from time to time and think about how incredible your life became in the last 5 years...what a journey...🔥
What a mental fortitude! Riding alone in foreign places, with road barely seen, people speaking different language that if things happen not easy to ask for help! Of course the amount of preparation needed count too! But to really take the journey and materialize the plan! Extraordinary!
Such a beautiful and peaceful place! The people were so kind and helpful. The lake view was like a painting or a dream. Yes, it was a long day but so worth the visit. I loved this video. Thank you.
9:27 Monk was right if the registration says TN, then the bike is from Tamilnadu, Chennai is the capital of tamilnadu, so you are right too. Plan a trip to down south. You will see amazing places and people like you experienced in Africa. I'm happy to see you in india 😊
Your Ladakh adventure is truly inspiring! Watching this video brought back all the incredible memories of my own journey in Himalayan through that breathtaking region. It's not just a ride; it's a soul-stirring experience. Your footage captures the essence of Ladakh beautifully, and I can practically hear the mountains calling me back. Thanks for sharing this journey. Looks like Himalayan 450 is doing great 🏔️🏍️😊
Buenos días Noraly, es increíble como te has recuperado rápidamente y nuevamente nos regalas el producto de tu trabajo con increíbles paisajes y narrativa, me llevas a disfrutar como si yo estuviera en esos hermosos paisajes y viajando en motocicleta, gracias mil y a seguir disfrutando, saludos desde Dos Ríos, Veracruz, México.
I am 78 y.o woman and I will forever be admiring you and following you to everu nook and corner of your round the world travels..Simply put it's Unforgettable.Even if i am still young I know will not have the guts and money to travel like you did.
A beautifully crafted film. Incredible scenery, great interaction with locals, good commentary. Ride safe. You are on a great journey in more ways than one. Best wishes from the UK.
Excellente décision Noraly de visiter cette partie de l'Inde où les paysages sont spectaculaires et les couleurs sont magnifiques. On sent que tu as beaucoup de plaisir à faire ce voyage et on en est que plus heureux à te suivre 🥰
I just love your zest for life and your inquiring spirit! That monastery was spectacular to see perched atop a mountain. Thank you for taking us through it. Amazing roads yotraveled today. As always, thank you for taking us along, Noraly. Be safe and enjoy!
You really got the whole experience in these videos, From huge mountains to the people in the towns and animals, I was there in Sept 2022 ,what a place.. thanks for sharing.
The "much preferred" Itchy Boots. I confess I dropped out for a while during the rally rides. I watch not because of the motorcycle (though I own one) but because seeing Noraly connect with the local people is always so interesting. And imagining myself eating the local foods too. Ride on Itchy Boots!!
That landscape was otherworldly... Amazing!! Breathtaking! Thank you so much, as always, for bringing us along on your journeys! I think I'll go for a ride on this nice fall day!
You are so brave Noraly! With all of the wars going on in the world, you are a tourist without any cares in the world lol! Amazing! I loved seeing the terrain and the oldest monastery! The people, especially the women, are most hospitable!❤️🙏🇺🇸
Noraly, I always love my passive tag-along travels with you but as a landscape painter, this was a particularly spectacular adventure to be on! What a beautiful place! Enjoy your time and may the snow hold off for a little while longer.
@@geoffdean3532 I wasn’t actually and I was thrilled to see his work when I looked it up. Thank you so much for taking the time to share! A great way to close off my day.
Wow...The landscape is simply amazing and breathtaking. Noraly, your riding ability has dramatically improved and you are ringing like a seasoned rider.
What a way to start your journey again and an awesome way to see India on two wheels! Great video, from the landscape, to the places passing and to the joy I can imagine riding through this spectacular scenery!
I've been watching on and off since I discovered and am thrilled to see you've arrived - and in one piece - in the border regions I lost want to visit in the world. 👏🏻 What a wonderful thing you have done and to share it with us.
Noraly, I love having your exuberant self back on RUclips! I am appreciating “barren” landscapes more, viewing it with your enthusiastic geologist’s eye. These days to witness such a positive attitude, energy and joy is SO refreshing!! AND your music & drone footage awe-inspiring!
Another amazing adventure. Riding with you is like taking in every terrain and experiencing different cultures as we navigate from border to border. Stay safe.
No doubt about that and I'll add her toughness physical and mental!! We watch, but we can't feel the cold or how hard it is to breath at the high elevations. She never complains. Peace!
I'm so glad that your hand is healed enough to get back on the bike! This trip to India is an amazing surprise and it looks like you're having a great time. Enjoy! We look forward to the rest of your Africa trip. Stay safe! Cheers.
The guy at the initial checkpoint was certainly less than cordial. I admire how you keep calm and smile. I am sure your smile is disarming. Another thing I've noticed and appreciate. You do not swear, or at least edit it out. Thank you for that, Noraly. I can watch your videos with my grandkids. :)
So happy you are revisiting India. My tension level in watching your travels has subsided tremendously. It's😅 as if you are visiting an old friend. Africa was like walking a wire.
One can only imagine what are your thoughts riding where it all begun... a film of all you've been through, all the places you've known. Good to see you riding there. Boas estradas!
This is the type of video that has had me following this channel since the beginning, I realise there's only so many parts of the World you can travel alone as you've done most, but I have to say now you're on own doing what you love and do best, back roads off road and incredible scenery.
Need to say the giggles in ur voice as u ride those roads, comes across loud and clear!! You love what you are doing!! And your fans love watching every episode. Me included. ❤❤❤❤
I’m an 89 yr old from New Zealand I am travelling with you on your amazing adventures thanks Noraly safe journeys for future adventures 😍
India is a mini globe. Many do no know the diversity of India. Thanks to Noraly for showcasing the amazing landscapes & colourful culture of India.
I hope you're having a good time sir.
@GromFandango We will all get old, just keep your brain fresh, exercise daily so you can live a long life. I hope to watch YT when/if I reach 100
Hello fellow New Zealander!! I’m going through and watching the whole last two seasons. Such an amazing series

Yes no one I have seen does it better.
Noraly definitely uses the right approach to dealing with each situation she encounters. In my book, Noraly is the Ambassador of Adventure Travel!
Welcome to the club..She does an amazing job and what I like is NOT just showing us pretty pictures but giving some background as to where she is at.
That's what I ended up doing as well, backwards. But it was so much fun and a different perspective to watch it that way.
Yes ,
Welcome.
You are joining the hundreds of thousands who are looking at Noraly.

Choosing India as the last stop before heading off to Africa is such a great decision, the mountains & the people it's all very serene can't wait for more!!!
yes she will be back in Africa in no time.
RE is paying her. She is promoting the brand which is going to release in Nov23.
I think Africa is a bit dangerous right now.. Best to hold off?
At least Royal Enfield values Noraly enough to sponsor her. Honda won't even help out with replacement parts for Alaska! Maybe it's time to consider asking RE if they would at least provide parts if Alaska needs to be retired. Alaska has been such a great advertisement for Honda...
I like Royal Enfield, but I'd really like to see how a veteran like Noraly would cope with a DCT Africa Twin on mud roads.
Another beautiful adventure in India! The scenery is amazing and people are so accommodating. Your aerial footage is great. You found a nice place to stay the night with a nice family. Ride safe Noraly!

Why don't you visit here? It's an amazing place. Ladakh
Incredible views Noraly. Wonderful contrast between little meadows & green clusters of growth & the steep banks of boulders moving upwards to the peaks. Your views of some of the World’s highest peaks nothing short of spectacular. Another great video well narrated by you Noraly. Thanks.
I'm impressed by how well that bike handled the rocks on the road. Don't think I've ever seen you ride like that, just pure trust and confidence in your bike.
Hence the bike is named "Himalayan".
That bike is therefore named Himalayan... It's made for driving in that terrain
Royal Enfield Himalayan is special for mountain
Ich bin 64 Jahre alt ,vor 41 Jahren bin ich mit meinem Partner , einem VW Käfer und einem Zelt 10 Monate durch Südamerika gereist damals ohne Handy ,Internet,GPS, etc. Deine Videos erinnern mich stark an diese aufregende,faszinierende Zeit.
Itchy Boots, you are amazing. You have ignited my long-lost passion to see the world. With your videos, I feel like visiting all those tracks by myself. Most importantly, the way you narrate things makes your videos more interesting. What a life you are living! What a video!!
She again back to india. She started her journey from Delhi first Ride with Royal Himalayan 2018
I know. I don't miss her any video. @@yoh9839
I love you ringo! you are the best drummer no matter what everybody say!
What a spectacular monastery, like Noraly mentioned the amount of effort required to build that there must have been tremendous
But seeing the colours of the bare rocks... is like seeing Mother Earth naked.
This is definitely a unique site! Glad Noraly shared it with us.
This region of Ladakh is only accessible (snow-free mountain passes) via roads for five months per year.
From @16:50 on looks like where the World was born.😮 Just so vast and breathtaking... thank you ever so much Noraly for a wonderful Sunday morning ride!! Stay safe. ✨️♥️
Hermoso el vídeo sobre el templo budista, emocionante y bien elegido el canto del Mantra Vajra Guru en homenaje al maestro Padmasambhava.
Ruego que las oraciones te protejan en tus viajes. 🙏
Heureux de vous retrouver sur les routes Indienne !
Les paysages sont vraiment magnifiques 😍
Respect 🙏

Very glad you chose to come back to India, and on that motorcycle too! You seem very comfortable on the new Himalayan, almost like no time has passed since you started your journey years ago. However - you return armed with the knowledge, experience and confidence you have gained through your many travels since then, and it shows - you are ready for whatever you may encounter. You have come full circle, literally and figuratively. The visuals you captured are truly spectacular - as always, thanks for bringing us along as you explore the wild corners of our little planet! 😉
Think ull find it ain’t that little .
What a beautiful episode: country, people, landscape, culture and wonderful shots with the drone - itchy boots at its best. thank you.
WOW ITCHY BOOTS!! What unbelievably stunning and spectacular scenery and landscapes! So incredibly lucky to witness this through your lens and with your music choice and commentary as a bonus!! I’m not a bike person but I so enjoy the mountains and nature and your ability to capture such fabulous shots!! Your passion is truly demonstrated in your videos!! Thank you for sharing that with us!! Also noticed that the people of India truly love you! The comment section has just exploded with their love for you!! And the subs keep climbing! Just love it Noraly!! Cheers from Texas USA❤❤
Hi Lucinda, hope you are doing well - Agree Noraly is back in all her glory! Yes we've been reading the comments for months from India people begging her to come back. Not that we weren't head-over-heels with Noraly before, but as cliche goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder. Everything happens for a reason and I felt from the time she broke her hand something good will come from it. Her subscribers continued to climb even when not putting out new videos! Peace!
Hey Jason! Yes it’s all true. We all love Itchy Boots and the people of India really express it! I believe Noraly has a special place in her heart for India!! It’s great to see! Enjoy your weekend!@@jasonzerbini2375
Great ride today, India seems to have a lot of very good places to ride. New bike seems to be perfectly suited to what you are doing. Thanks Noraly.
VERY GLAD to see you back in the saddle Nora !!! LOVE the exotic locals you get to visit, the colors, people, food, customs, and natural beauty of it all. MANY THANX, and happy, continued, bon voyage !!!
Great videos, this and the last, such a different and amazing view of India than you typically get from the typical travel journals or other video sources. One of the things that one can't help but notice is your absolute delight at being there. Safe travels, and happy motorbiking.
Ladakh's Himalayas are a testament to nature's grandeur and a destination that truly leaves visitors in awe of its remarkable scenery. Its good to see you in himalayas with a beautiful smile on your face. And i love how you greet strangers.. keep exploring noraly
Your rally content is fun, but nothing beats real-world adventures in unfamiliar places, meeting new people and cultures! Thank you for bringing us along!
It’s wonderful to have you back Itchy Boots travelling. You take us to places we would never be able to go but for you wanting to share it with us. It’s incredible mountains , valleys and cultures. Awesome video marking…..i could watch your travels all day long(and sometimes do). Looking forward to the next video. Thankyou for wanting to take us with you.😊
Your enthusiasm riding the roads is contagious...LOVE the scenery and the places you're going :)
So beautiful. Love how to switch from front camera to drone to back camera, etc. makes the videos more like reality for us. Love when you tell us the food - curious what people eat in these foreign lands.
The last two episodes have, at least for myself, been the best of the season so far. Beautiful scenery, great riding, and interesting breaks between the riding .
Started watching the channel sometime back. I was tempted to skip and watch the story but then decided to go through all the previous episodes in order. Season 1 to the present. Respect you.
I just love how you show the world that are nice no matter which race they are. and the people with the least are the ones that give the most. Can't wait for the full review on the new bike.
Most people are nice everywhere.
@oklahomahank2378 in real life? yes. Anonymity on social media has certainly given a lot more people courage to spread hatred.
14:50, love how you're talking about the power and Im looking around and you're in the middle of nowhere!. thanks for sharing.
Fantastic, Noraly.
Great part of the world to be riding - stunning vistas, challenging roads, incredible people.
The mountains just seem to have this amazing positive affect on the phyche too, I find.
Glad to see your hand is well healed too.
Ride on!!!
I LOVED IT💖 After you were told no foreigner beyond that point and eventually allowed it was so worth it because the landscape gets from amazing to incredible ... the drone footage alone showing the river meandering along those mountains ... Thank you, it was spectacular!!!
GO ITCHY BOOTS, GO ... 🏍🏍🏍
Wow !!! Noraly chooses the most appropriate background music for her drone footage… the final product is just incredibly mesmerising. The melodious music and the desert mountain landscapes are heart tugging , makes one want to wander off into an adventure of one’s own. Gorgeous !! As always , a job well done Itchy Boots. You chose the right place and the perfectly right time to ride into Ladakh , its an astonishing place. Best wishes and prayers for you , enjoy the Himalayan adventure 👍
Im glad for you and thankful to that chekpost guy who recognized you and let you go further. Enjoy your ride and let the people see this beautiful world through your videos...
Riding in Himalayas in a Himalayan. Very happy to see people living their dreams. God bless you ma’am.
Wow Noraly, with these first 2 videos from India its easy to see why you were immediately hooked on adventure bike travel when you rented that Royal Enfield in 2018! Spectacular scenery (and beautifully presented). Thanks for bringing us along this time!
Our patience is rewarded with another video! Lovely intro! I had a feeling of peace and serenity as soon as I clicked the play button. The way you assemble each component; video, music, drone, narration, cinematography, etc and create something that draws viewers in is magical. I am so happy for you to be riding such spectacular mountain roads, even though a bit chilly and hard to breath. I'm riding with you in spirit. On a side note I always meant to comment how much I love your IB logo. It is a genius design. Thank you Noraly. Peace! ❤❤❤
Magical indeed!!🥰
Firstly, I must say RE has done a fabulous job with the bike, it just chugs along and conquers the most difficult terrain in the world at such high altitudes. Secondly no one captures nature as well as you do. Look forward to more drone shots in next video.
although to be fair, the roads have improved a lot since 2014 (the last time I was there) and RE is designed for this sort of terrain... I did it in 2013 and 2014 on a honda 225 with a pillion, fully loaded 70L panniers (basically stuff for 2 people for a 19 day trip) with regular street tyres... kinda like those guys in africa tackling crazy terrain in 125s :D
Thank you for the fabulous scenery - never realise India was so beautiful and so sparsely populated looking forward to the next one. Stay safe.
Noraly tiene la capacidad de quitar el aliento con sus tomas espectaculares, ruteando por el techo del mundo. Tengo que compartir este capítulo, que no me esperaba, para verlo con más tranquilidad y a pantalla completa. Muchas gracias.
Sí, de verdad. Ella es muy bien en que ella trabaja. Espléndido.
It seems as though it was a wonderful ride today. The mountain roads were spectacular. The colors in the mountains were beautiful, and also too the blues of the rivers and lakes. Wonderful video, thanks, sy
Really nice to see these mountain roads again Noraly! Feels like I’m watching season one again and that feeling is like coming back to home!
What a beautiful video of an amazing day! This vast landscape is *so* refreshing, after western Africa's mud and jungle. And Royal Enfield's decision to allow Noraly's use of their brand new, as yet unreleased Himalayan 450 for her popular channel is a brilliant idea.
It’s great to watch & listen how you maneuver your way through the terrains. You have nerves of steels! But it’s your ease with the road and enthusiasm that helps me enjoy the moments & scenery along with you. Thanks Noraly! 😊
Нашел случайно ваш канал ( собираюсь купить новый Гималай и смотрю на что он способен) и не могу оторваться от просмотра видео! какая же вы позитивная, смелая и очень красивая!!! Успехов вам и берегите себя!!!
#1 Adventure Seeker has arrived. 💚✨🎉😁 Amazing India.🙌 Itchy Boots is loved by all.
What a life you are living Noraly...hope you take a moment from time to time and think about how incredible your life became in the last 5 years...what a journey...🔥
What a mental fortitude! Riding alone in foreign places, with road barely seen, people speaking different language that if things happen not easy to ask for help! Of course the amount of preparation needed count too! But to really take the journey and materialize the plan! Extraordinary!
There are about 200 K indian troops in the area.
Such an awe inspiring landscape your photography gets better and better ♥
Such a beautiful and peaceful place! The people were so kind and helpful. The lake view was like a painting or a dream. Yes, it was a long day but so worth the visit. I loved this video. Thank you.
What an amazing episode. So beautiful there. And that monastery is so incredible. The scenery is gorgeous. So good to have you back Noraly.
9:27 Monk was right if the registration says TN, then the bike is from Tamilnadu, Chennai is the capital of tamilnadu, so you are right too. Plan a trip to down south. You will see amazing places and people like you experienced in Africa. I'm happy to see you in india 😊
😂people like Africa not in south. It may be rajasthan odisha jharkand chattisgard like tibet people in jk utharkand hp etc😂😂
@@keralanaturelover196 bro you got it wrong. I meant warm hearted not the colour of the skin.
What 💀💀
Definitely you have to plan a trip down South India, especially Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Karnataka, such a beautiful place and such loving people.
Bimaru too😂
Your Ladakh adventure is truly inspiring! Watching this video brought back all the incredible memories of my own journey in Himalayan through that breathtaking region. It's not just a ride; it's a soul-stirring experience. Your footage captures the essence of Ladakh beautifully, and I can practically hear the mountains calling me back. Thanks for sharing this journey. Looks like Himalayan 450 is doing great 🏔️🏍️😊
Buenos días Noraly, es increíble como te has recuperado rápidamente y nuevamente nos regalas el producto de tu trabajo con increíbles paisajes y narrativa, me llevas a disfrutar como si yo estuviera en esos hermosos paisajes y viajando en motocicleta, gracias mil y a seguir disfrutando, saludos desde Dos Ríos, Veracruz, México.
I am 78 y.o woman and I will forever be admiring you and following you to everu nook and corner of your round the world travels..Simply put it's Unforgettable.Even if i am still young I know will not have the guts and money to travel like you did.
The views from the monastary are spectacular as are stuning from the road. Thank you for taking us along. You enjoy and so do we.👍
A beautifully crafted film. Incredible scenery, great interaction with locals, good commentary. Ride safe. You are on a great journey in more ways than one. Best wishes from the UK.
It is a country with spectacular landscapes and hospitable people, thank you Noraly for showing us your great videos
Wow! Of all the roads I’ve watched you ride, this is the most spectacular!!
Wat een mooi gebied. Gelukkig vind je in elke uithoek van de wereld een plek om te overnachten.
Excellente décision Noraly de visiter cette partie de l'Inde où les paysages sont spectaculaires et les couleurs sont magnifiques. On sent que tu as beaucoup de plaisir à faire ce voyage et on en est que plus heureux à te suivre 🥰
I'm so glad you are back riding through the mountains Noraly. That scenery is just stunningly beautiful.
I just love your zest for life and your inquiring spirit! That monastery was spectacular to see perched atop a mountain. Thank you for taking us through it. Amazing roads yotraveled today. As always, thank you for taking us along, Noraly. Be safe and enjoy!
You really got the whole experience in these videos, From huge mountains to the people in the towns and animals, I was there in Sept 2022 ,what a place.. thanks for sharing.
truly starting of with a new journey with a new bike which is actaully a new bike, so awesome looking forward to more
The "much preferred" Itchy Boots. I confess I dropped out for a while during the rally rides. I watch not because of the motorcycle (though I own one) but because seeing Noraly connect with the local people is always so interesting. And imagining myself eating the local foods too. Ride on Itchy Boots!!
I love mountain and arid landscapes! The scenery and temple were phenomenal. This may well become my favourite IB series of them all. Kind regards. 🇨🇦
That landscape was otherworldly... Amazing!! Breathtaking! Thank you so much, as always, for bringing us along on your journeys! I think I'll go for a ride on this nice fall day!
You are so brave Noraly! With all of the wars going on in the world, you are a tourist without any cares in the world lol! Amazing! I loved seeing the terrain and the oldest monastery! The people, especially the women, are most hospitable!❤️🙏🇺🇸
What war in india....? It is much more safe than Europe and America now.
Good to see you back, and thumbs up for being so resilient with that broken part of your hand! Take care Noraly!
Noraly, I always love my passive tag-along travels with you but as a landscape painter, this was a particularly spectacular adventure to be on! What a beautiful place! Enjoy your time and may the snow hold off for a little while longer.
You may be familiar with Nicholas Roerich's 19th centuary paintings of this region.
@@geoffdean3532 I wasn’t actually and I was thrilled to see his work when I looked it up. Thank you so much for taking the time to share! A great way to close off my day.
Wow...The landscape is simply amazing and breathtaking. Noraly, your riding ability has dramatically improved and you are ringing like a seasoned rider.
What a way to start your journey again and an awesome way to see India on two wheels! Great video, from the landscape, to the places passing and to the joy I can imagine riding through this spectacular scenery!
I've been watching on and off since I discovered and am thrilled to see you've arrived - and in one piece - in the border regions I lost want to visit in the world. 👏🏻 What a wonderful thing you have done and to share it with us.
Your eyes have recovered their sparkle....doing what you and all of us following love you to do!
Noraly, I love having your exuberant self back on RUclips! I am appreciating “barren” landscapes more, viewing it with your enthusiastic geologist’s eye. These days to witness such a positive attitude, energy and joy is SO refreshing!! AND your music & drone footage awe-inspiring!
Another amazing adventure. Riding with you is like taking in every terrain and experiencing different cultures as we navigate from border to border.
Stay safe.
You are brave and more daring than some of us. Thank you for taking us along on your amazing journeys. Love your interactions with the locals.
Braver and more daring than almost everyone I would say. 😊👍
No doubt about that and I'll add her toughness physical and mental!! We watch, but we can't feel the cold or how hard it is to breath at the high elevations. She never complains. Peace!
I'm so glad that your hand is healed enough to get back on the bike! This trip to India is an amazing surprise and it looks like you're having a great time. Enjoy! We look forward to the rest of your Africa trip. Stay safe! Cheers.
The guy at the initial checkpoint was certainly less than cordial. I admire how you keep calm and smile. I am sure your smile is disarming. Another thing I've noticed and appreciate. You do not swear, or at least edit it out. Thank you for that, Noraly. I can watch your videos with my grandkids. :)
So happy you are revisiting India. My tension level in watching your travels has subsided tremendously. It's😅 as if you are visiting an old friend. Africa was like walking a wire.
One can only imagine what are your thoughts riding where it all begun... a film of all you've been through, all the places you've known.
Good to see you riding there. Boas estradas!
This is the type of video that has had me following this channel since the beginning, I realise there's only so many parts of the World you can travel alone as you've done most, but I have to say now you're on own doing what you love and do best, back roads off road and incredible scenery.
MERCI ! pour cette belle balade ........et la jolie musique !!
I’m glad that Noraly took a break from Africa. I really enjoy seeing the mountains in such a beautiful landscape.
Need to say the giggles in ur voice as u ride those roads, comes across loud and clear!! You love what you are doing!! And your fans love watching every episode. Me included. ❤❤❤❤
