Day one landslide halts bucket list trip in Himalayas India

[@PropagandaBuster4U]

Welcome to India 🇮🇳🙏

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Yey thanks

[@anthonystevens8683]

What landscapes! Absolutely stunning views and this is only part one. You really should keep the Dodo.. err.. Fluffy... ok trouser cough.... no Anika. This looks like an epic experience series, somewhat different to a race but still great to watch. Thanks for sharing.

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Haha I definitely plan to keep her hehe at least for as long as she can put up with me 😂

[@nileshjoshi4232]

The JCB's working is not a landslide however landslides can happen anytime in these mountains. It is the construction work going on there on the Padum-Leh road. They blast the mountain & then clear the debris. i think you took the lamayuru-sirsir la pass- singhe la pass - towards Padum in zanskar valley. The altitude really hits hope you guys had a good time in Ladakh.

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Thanks for the info!

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Aw thank you

[@Whatreally123]

I have ridden in Ladakh and other parts of Himalayas multiple times. I'd suggest riders not use motocross goggles and instead wear a helmet with a full visor. THat way it'll prevent cold air from hitting your face and rain/snow from making the insides of your helmet wet. Weather in these regions can change in an instant.

[@TheGirlOnABike]

I actually personally totally disagree. We did some incredible off road terrain and the airflow with goggles was ideal. I would wear the same helmet if I returned. I guess it's personal choice

[@Whatreally123]

@@TheGirlOnABike I mean as long as the weather was good. This is specific to higher regions of the Himalayas or any mountain range. Why would one risk exposing their face to the elements and risk taking on the elements head on. How do you deal in rainy or snowy conditions in really cold places? Curious to know.

[@TheGirlOnABike]

[@marklloyd69]

Love it, very jealous and can’t wait for our India trip next year. Genuine question, why the pronunciation change of the Himalaya’s? We don’t call Germany Deutschland , or Glasgow “Glasgee” (with accent😉). Just curious why the last 12 months has seen a shift in pronunciation

[@ranjeetyadav4549]

Welcome to India next year try to avoid Himalyan bike tour between the month of December to March, because of winter season till March - April there would be 20ft snow at the same place Indian Govt and Army won't allow tourists

[@the_drifter-bw9hj]

Because Himalaya is a hindi word which is pronounced in a specific way native to it's origin, Him + alay (ice domain)

[@marklloyd69]

@@the_drifter-bw9hj that’s great, but we’re not Hindi and as I said, why isn’t that rule applied across the world?

[@TheGirlOnABike]

It's a good question. My part two video explains a little more but it's basically the correct way to say it in India So royal Enfield asked I pronounce it correctly

[@nitinthakur6569]

U can pronounce it any way you like as long a​s the other party understands what u sayin.@@marklloyd69

[@direwolf7491]

Biking in India is becoming a thing. As an Indian I am loving it. Just be careful in certain areas though like the unfortunate Jharkhand(state in India) incident of the Spanish couple. Jharkhand too is a beautiful place, but there is maoist seperatist movement so staying outdoors after 8pm is risky. In case you guys want to visit there. Other than that welcome to India♥️

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Aw thank you so much for the details and warning. Mega appreciate it. India is an incredible country

[@webabhi]

The terrain, the music and the bike reminded me of Road Rash series of games which I am sure all 90s kids would have played on Nintendos and CD Roms.

Now that's what I call biceps. Beginning of the video. Dear Vanessa, what weight of the bar do you use for push-ups from the "lying from the chest" position?

I actually don't do any bench presses, I workout naturally by riding bikes, DIY around the house, chopping logs for firewood etc

Hi. What are you using to navigate? Netwrok on ours phines was patchy at best when we wnt there

[@TheGirlOnABike]

We used fixed GPS devices with a plotted GPX route and paper maps

[@leifiseland1218]

Hmm.. I'm sure the electric jacket is great.. 0C isn't all that cold though.. just the threshold where water freezes at see level pressure.. Try -30C sometime.. but with warmer clothing, & you should probably be using studded tyres..😉

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Yeah I agree. We knew we would have to ride in temperatures between freezing and 30+ degrees. So in order to have the most efficient use of volume of clothes we decided that layering with the heated jacket was more space efficient. And it worked perfectly better than having loads of thick coats.
