A River With No Bridge! REAL INDIA | Ride To Hampi & Rural Life

[@percentbigfoot]

Love the Langoors(big monkeys) in the temple premises. It's so beautiful to see them co existing with us in peace with their families. The planet is equally for everyone. 🕉️

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Yes absolutely! “The planet is equally for everyone” is exactly what we believe. Unfortunately, in the western world, most people believe, perhaps without realising, that the planet is for us (humans), and that everything else is here for our taking. Sadly, that has is why there has been a shocking decline in wildlife. 🙏

[@percentbigfoot]

@MrDarcy-OlMan Yea, it's sad. I hope you had a wonderful time on your trip here. We have to learn a lot when it comes to waste management from the west and hopefully the people in the west realise that nature and animals and everything all makes up this beautiful planet. Without them and us coexisting, everything will collapse. No wonder, a lot of developed countries suffer from high depression cases. It's just too much of an impetus given to the concrete jungles. It has its place, I am not saying that, however we could do better and integrate and coexist with nature better. Also, I love the father-son relationship. I lost my dad a few years ago, during covid and going on trips like that is more of an impossible dream now, but I enjoy seeing you guys together. It makes me happy that someone is doing it and how it feels. Keep on traveling and having a wonderful experience, wish you a blessed life.

Most of India being Vegetarians does help and with moderate climate of India, veggies are available almost all 12 months here. Of course, majority does eat chicken and fish too. Earlier people would eat all kinds of wildlife, but with strict wildlife hunting laws, anti-pocher workforce by forest department and huge amount of public awareness campaigns, situation has wildly improved. In villages for example in my childhood, we used to eat everything from wild boars, turtoises, hares, pigeons, peacocks, porcupine and what not. Now a days though people stick to chicken, goats and fish. In Christian majority parts you do get beef too.

[@ruffleschips9055]

You have shown more of the life of India, than any TV documentary I've seen. Thanks for a real look at part of our world.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Wow that's great to hear 🙏

[@percentbigfoot]

Tv documentaries show what they want to show, the real india is more diverse. It offers any sort of experience you can possibly imagine.

[@missiontoaccomplish]

The presence of people, the diversity of culture and lifestyle land nature and such things made my life enjoyable. Never felt stressed or depressed. I always enjoyed my life in India. But after I went to the west I felt like I am controlled by someone and I don't have my own time, and I am stressed and depressed sometimes. But when I returned I felt I am back to normal . What I am saying is life is enjoyable in the real nature

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Very well put, I think you are totally right

[@ndgprasad]

Hampi is capital city of vijayanagara empire. At that time Hampi is the richest city in the world. It was destroyed during Islamic invasions in 1565. Because of fall of vijayanagara empire British french and Portuguese colonised as India.

Many years ago I wanted to return to Hampi,buy a corracle made of nylon fertiliser sacks coated with tar and float down the Cauvery river.I was there for a new year and despite it being a dry state got a plastic bag of local brew and didn't go blind.Slept on the roof of one of the few village houses.When you get home have a read about Viyanagar which had sanitation when we were still throwing soil into the street.

[@bucksman]

Karnataka isn't a dry state. Perhaps, there's a ban on selling liquor around the heritage site.

[@richardsims3847]

@ This was back in the early 90s and remember it being very different from Goa.

[@bucksman]

@@richardsims3847 OMG. That’d be pretty different 😆 yet more adventurous. I guess back then alcohol availability would be pretty limited in that area. This district has always been one of the lesser developed regions in Karnataka.

Darcy, those giant boulders were put there by retreating glaciers during one of the ice ages...

[@dodgerboe]

I'll think you're find History and Geography of World Indoctrination Education has misinformed so many of so much. You may be correct but also have to understand Giants were real and have been proven to build enormous structures all around the world. Smithsonian Institution has been hiding so much from the people... just research the Grand Canyon a d the hidden Caves and City !

[@saddle8bag]

Old man wakes up to see Darcy lacing his sneakers. Asks Darcy where he's going. Darcy says "there's a leopard outside our tent pops." Old man says, "Son, you can't outrun a leopard." Darcy responds, "I don't have to pops, I just have to outrun you!"

[@mailmeabhilash]

10th one is the most boring place. It's practically a scam now.

[@bucksman]

The 7th place is really not a magnetic hill. It's just an illusion formed coz of the mountains and the road being on opposite inclinations.

We made it to Hampi for a 2 day trip in 2022. And what an experience! We visited Badami on the way and that's also a fantastic place and I found myself driving solo to Badami in 2023 summer to visit all the other places we missed! It was a very hot summer but the memories will stay with me for life!

those rock formations you saw are mountains broken down into small to big rocks like that to make stone things like statues and materials for making parts of buildings most of them could be granites and that police car is Mahindra Scorpio

[@pranav-qt4yu]

No, it is Mahindra bolero.

[@cousinjack2841]

These vlogs just fly by; so interesting. I have never subscribed to modern 'adventure' bike phenomenon and watching you guys doing some real adventuring on a classic 350 just confirms my view point. I'd love to see a couple of massive 1200cc plastic enshrouded modern 'adventure' bikes deal with that ferry crossing. Give me the RE classic , perhaps with a set of trail tyres, and that'll handle most of the adventuring I want to do. Excellent stuff gentlemen; thank you.

[@SahibSrivastavathyshb]

All these rides to Hampi would have been so soothing on a Himalayan 450, though.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

We don’t really like the 450 engine, it lacks the RE soul. For me the perfect bike would be the Bear 650 but we were more than happy with the Classic 350 👌🏻

[@SahibSrivastavathyshb]

@@MrDarcy-OlMan I tried the Bear 650, and it definitely feels buttery smooth. The stance is also improved compared to everything else. I've ridden more than 2,000 km on the Himalayan 450 in the mountains of northern India, and for me, it was the perfect bike. I've also heard that the Himalayan is coming out with a 750cc model in the future-something to look forward to.
