Basic Tips for A Trip To LADAKH

[@kunalN91]

1. Prefer stay at places with low altitude. Avoid stays at sarchu/ pang. 2. If you ever drop the motorcycle, just leave it there and step aside. Let your group come and help you. Don't drain your breath at high altitude. Great video rohith 🍻

[@TollFreeTraveller]

It feels good to be back here, folks. Trying to create some videos to start sharing things I've learnt from all the travel I've done over the past 2 years. Hope you guys find this video (and the ones to come) useful for planning and preparing for your own travel and rides. IMPORTANT ADDITION: As pointed out by Anil More, one thing I should have mentioned in this video is that mobile connectivity is terrible in Ladakh. Postpaid BSNL connections are the most likely to work, but even that is not guaranteed. So make sure you have all navigation stuff offline (if you use that) and agree on ride plans (route, waypoints, meal breaks etc.) amongst your group at the beginning of a day and stick to it so that you can keep track of each other when travelling with company.

[@nomad4k]

Toll Free Traveller: I also remember to pack light.. a lot of people carry 15 pairs of clothes and end up with unmanageable luggage for no good reason. Packing light and doing laundry on the go is an art form that pays off and makes a trip so much more enjoyable not just in Ladakh, but anywhere you travel to. A good pair of jeans, 3 shorts, a couple of pairs of pajamas, about a half a dozen light t shirts, sweaters and half a dozen briefs, and 4 pairs of socks should do a fabulous job.

[@subeenchandran]

@Toll Free Traveller How about 160 CC Motor Cycles for Ladhak ?

[@yogeshavl]

Subeen Chandran you can go with 160cc better without pillion.

[@yogeshavl]

I did it again this year from 21 Jun to 2 Jul. First time from 5 Jun to 16 Jun 2014. Again in 2020.

[@yogeshavl]

And by the way I bought Aspida Odysseus after seeing your review for this ride.... perhaps the best quality jacket in our group of 12 in this ride and best rain cover on top from this jacket. Bottom was from Decathlon.

[@sunilsharmain]

Great stuff, Rohith, one of very few motovloggers in indian universe , who talk mature stuff. Thanks buddy.

[@ramakrishnansubramanian8616]

How did I miss your video? Honestly your are the most underrated biker. You deserve to be on the top. I wish that happens soon. Cheers

[@dharmendradewasi3267]

I JUST WAS THINKING THIS MORNING THAT ITS BEEN SO LONG SINCE I GOT NOTIFICATION FROM YOU......HERE IT IS ;)

[@LionelAlwin]

You truly are giving back to the biking community 👍. Respect 🤝

[@sunganesh6096]

Love your simple yet very effective and honest sharing - a fan

[@dineshv3546]

I did my Ladhak trip in 2016 as well with my 2.5 years old son with all the planning that you have mentioned in this video. But you never know what is ahead of you in this challenging terrain. Better be prepared than being Sorry. Very well narrated as usual. cheers...

[@hiron666]

straight to the point! there are many other videos from other ladakh veterans but this one is very straight and direct. Thanks I have many takeaways. Cheers!

[@TheRichardVideo]

Rohit, I’ve always loved your solo rides more than the ones that you do with others together. Looking forward to your upcoming videos and seeing the great country through your videos. God speed mate!

[@pramoteshsahoo1200]

First of all good to see you back again after a long time.. Ladakh, the North & the North East are the places I have always wondered to ride through.. Long days back when I was at shimla for whole 3 years I always felt like it's the worst place but today when I grown up I just imagine if I get back those days I'll live the whole of it.. I'll be on the roads soon 🤗 I will be living my dreams someday for sure 😍

[@mohafahas]

What a great setting Rohith! that background with a narrow road, the sounds of birds, those trees, your T-shirt's color, amazing simplicity! I do not mind you posting late, because the quality of the stuff you make is nowhere found on this platform, keep going. You are on way to become a Legend in my opinion, keep going! appreciate your hard work for the videos you have brought and will be bringing us in the future! All the best to you everyday!

[@pramodpossible]

Very good stuff. Valid points. I have seen many vids on the same topic... But your by far is best... Liked it

[@krrishnadigitalsoundlights9299]

oh men ...what a relax video buddy you voice give to me peace .. your way to talk you accent your voice realy peaceful .. god bless you ...

[@johnroethel5527]

Have traveled for many many years, this is solid advice for any trip anywhere. love the vids!!

[@loheshchinnaiyan7153]

A good video and a must watch video for all beginners.... Thumbs up rohit

[@ManishSingh-tr9jw]

Very Informative and mature way of telling the basic. 1.What kind of other Bike service available in Ladakh region ? 2. Please provide at least 3 bike other than Enfield that can be used in long trip himalaya and north eastern state.

[@debarghakarkun5552]

The video was outstanding and provided numerous information about medical circumstances

[@general_pinochet]

Real trips from real rider, the best thing is that this was really helpful that those clickbait videos in KZbin

[@sanshirs]

Excellent video as always. Rohit Rocks 👍 Thanks BRU

[@rudravijay1097]

Hi Bro. Pleased to see you again after a long time. I have watched almost all of your videos three to four times. I like your language, attitude and simplicity. At the age of 50+ I have started being a rider. It's due to your inspiration. your tips are so valuable for me. Thanx.

[@sumanbasu4841]

[@TwoUpTourer]

Having ridden in Ladakh, I concur with everything he said here. Sensible guy, the sort I would be ride with.

[@RideForGuide]

Really informative Vlog for those who are planning towards Ladakh..we have been faced. Rain, breakdown, cold. But we were all set for all these things so we were enjoying those moments.

[@s.d.4351]

2-3 hours before found your channel and only thing I found strange and that is you have way less subscriber than you really deserve. Now you are my favorite vlogger.

[@TollFreeTraveller]

Great to have you here. Glad you found the channel and are enjpying the content.

[@conrodfox8859]

Good to see you again. Keep riding and ride safe.

[@rohanpanchal]

thnx for uploading your video, after a long time, eagerly waiting for your updates keep going Bro !!

[@archishmanparia1993]

It's been a long time..... Good to see you Back 😊

[@aklavya0720]

Totally relatable thanks for sharing your experiences. We had a flat tyre in the middle of no where. So two of us had to hike the steep hills of upper Mustang while the other two took the bikes to the nearest village in hopes of finding a mechanic. We spent two days in that village. It was an experience in its own. One of the most brutal but also the most memorable.

[@TollFreeTraveller]

The misadventures always make for great stories as long as you manage to solve the situation.

[@kaveeshaagda1589]

Glad to see you after long tym Rohitji 👍

[@nikeshdhp]

[@Khatakat8500]

Bro a quick question you go on a solo ride and the roads are so wet n muddy, is there a specific tyre you suggest for thunder 350? Cos the bike is so heavy

[@azharshaheen]

I assume a selfie stick in camera gear would be a good option too..

[@deepakgowda4790]

Very good informative video sir keep going

[@AnandhBabu]

From Chennai to ladakh, which is the best bike in your openion. Low budget segment.

[@IlyasBaig1]

TFT: can you guide how to install the novatronix flasher on thunderbird please. had requested you in the other video. but looks like it was overlooked( no complaints.).. i know you are overwhelmed with messages.. please help.

[@hagarthehorrible1391]

I would suggest you to buy the Simtac Hazard light system. Extremely easy to install. No need of cutting any wires. Easy to use due to the dedicated switch whereas the Novatronix requires you to use the indicator left-center-right to activate it.

[@mvishnu06]

Is it recommended to go with the trip organizers?

[@LooseGravel]

Perfectly Done Video. Thanks for making it.

[@sailorrider9802]

Thank you Rohith

[@ourunstablemind]

I'm sure you or your riding friends have experienced Road Side Assistance. Maybe a review or a situational story vlog may enlighten many positively. Regards. P.S. really enjoy your posts here, best wishes, maybe we shall meet someday down the road.

[@sagaraher5611]

Man you had balls of steel to take that elephant to the top! Himalayan would have been an excellent choice! No hate for RE fans

[@The1994arpan]

bakwas bandh kar .... most of the motorcycles which covers Ladakh are RE ..knowing nothing and pure blind hating is just an illiterate move

[@sagaraher5611]

its because there are service centers available not the bike! make your studies right before commenting kid
