Cycling The Pamir

CYCLING THE PAMIR
We took our bikes to Central Asia and cycled along Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan not really knowing what to expect of this journey. This video tells my personal story about overcoming fears and facing I challenge I never knew could conquer.
For more detailed information about cycling in Central Asia, you can head over to Tristan's KZbin channel and check out his vlogs:

Excellent video work in every way ... and a peek into the thoughts of your soul.

[@daver4413]

Wow - amazing! I love your reflections, self-awareness and courage - and all the rewards that come from that. And just stunning filming from you both. Thanks for sharing and for giving dreams ;)

[@BelleToscan]

Hi Dave, thanks a lot. It was definitely a tough trip but also very rewarding in so many ways. I'd definitely do it again.

[@alannorman1773]

I love the films that you and Tristan make. So good to watch in these troubled times. Thank you.

[@BelleToscan]

Hi Alan. Thanks for the kind words. It's been a while since I uploaded a while (mostly because we haven't been cycling for a few months). But hopefully when Corona situation is better and we can get back on the road we will start again. =)

[@CyclEdd]

Wow!!! What an inspiration!!! Amazing!

[@mariuszbanasiak3644]

Congratulations ! We're going this year.

Amazing

[@paveltrips]

Really impressive you did on a bike. I barely survived by car.

[@PiquePictures]

What a beautiful video! My wife and I are considering this ride. It looks amazing!

[@BelleToscan]

You totally should! Central Asia is just great for cycling. =)

I left Vietnam from 6 years ago for working in Paris, then I left my job the end of last year after 5 years working in a creative studio to be a freelance art director. Thing got hard at the beginning og the time but now I can be able to travel and work at the same time more often, I found your channel from your cycling video about Norway when I was planning to make a cycling trip from Finse to Flam. I will be there next weekend, cant wait. Hope you guys get more follower and be successful in your life!! Hello from Olso (where I'm staying for a few days atm)

[@BelleToscan]

Thank you for your lovely words - I love reading stories from people who chose to take the les known path and keep on fighting to making it their new life. Loads of success in Norway! It's truly an amazing country!

[@Garfie1d73]

Wow, you really know how to make a video. Very, very good. I like it very much. You are definitely talented for this kind of work.

[@BelleToscan]

Thank you so much! Your comment definitely gives me courage to continue with it! I always get scared when I sit by the laptop with all these video files and try to express my feelings and story. =)

[@cyclingfreeman]

Very inspirational video, lovely music and very poetic too! I'm also a cycling lover, subscribed to your channel! Thanks for sharing with the world! Love from Sweden 🇸🇪

[@BelleToscan]

Thank you for your sweet words. It's been a couple months now off the road but I look forward to new rides in 2020! I'll definitely take the camera along to make new videos! =)

[@cyclingfreeman]

@@BelleToscan Understandable after such an adventure! 😉👍 Looking forward very much to more videos from you on the road! Have you made any plans yet? Merry Christmas and happy new year cycling friend!

[@mikchael290]

Very poetically, love the latest version of the Pamir. When are you going to be able to produce the latest California trip videos. Peace

[@BelleToscan]

We will post our Canary Islands first! But hopefully we will get to edit the US stuff before the summer. =)

[@user-yt8xw5fq8i]

Wow very beautiful Thanks this video

[@user-dz4fu9nw8f]

Super🐾

[@baxteryazbek]

you make us hungry... more!

[@BelleToscan]

Oh... Hopefully Canary Islands coming soon! Stay tuned on Tristan Bogaard's channel as any time there will be a first episode! =)

[@Frogf1sh]

Love the music ;)

[@BelleToscan]

Hahaha, me too! We should ask for a private concert! =)

[@Caliban1616]

Amazing ride and awesome camera work! One question: I want to plan a cycling trip to this region--it seems like you guys didn't like Western Tajikistan as much. Would it be possible to do an interesting circle just around Kyrgyzstan and maybe also do Akbaital in Tajik? Starting in Osh or, the other option, starting in Bishkek and do a circle from there?

[@BelleToscan]

We didn't make it to Western Tajikistan - We finished our trip in Dushanbe and flew out of there. Tajikistan (not on the plateau) was tougher in terms of temperatures and dryness. We had to stop every day between 12:00 and 16:00 to hide from the sun. If you have limited time, then I'd recommend Kyrgyzstan over Tajikistan. Both countries are very amazing but very different. Some people do a loop from Osh to Murghab on the M41 and then return to Kyrgyzstan over the Bartang Valley. =)

[@Caliban1616]

@@BelleToscan Oh, yes, sorry, I meant "western" part of the Pamir highway :) Yeah, it seems like the highlights are more in Kyrgyzstan and then the first part of the M41 out of Osh... we are debating this or India, Manali to Leh. Thanks again, and enjoy the US!

[@BelleToscan]

Manali to Leh is also on our list! It's a shorter ride that doing the Pamir, I belive. =)

[@Caliban1616]

@@BelleToscan yeah it's around 480km I think but those 5 passes make up for it 😁 are you on strava as well?

[@carlosgimenez9782]

Me ha encantado vuestro vídeo. Reúne todo lo que me gusta: Aventura, paisajes, viajes, ciclismo, poesía, belleza y música. Me gustaría que me indicaras como puedo localizar la banda sonora que me ha parecido maravillosa. En los títulos indicas "Towards the sun", pero no encuentro el autor. Me he suscrito a vuestros canales. Enhorabuena por vuestro trabajo.
