How To Pack For 12-Day Ladakh Ride In 1 Small Bag | Delhi-Ladakh Day 2, Part 1

You don't really need to pack half your house if travelling for two weeks to Ladakh - not that there is anything wrong with it.
Here's an example of minimalist packing on a Royal Enfield Himalayan, that doesn't upset the dynamics of your motorcycle much and let's you enjoy your bike for what it is, a light weight travel companion.
The more things you carry on your bike, the more you have to unload and reload. And believe me, it is no fun.
I will be doing multiple videos on this trip, and in a sequence. Here's the video before this one for context: • XPulse 230 On Himachal...
You can follow the full playlist here: • Delhi-Ladakh Ride 2021

Thank you so much for giving me your time. I hope you have a great day.
Cheers

Much needed. I have seen people pack as if they were shifting between homes.

Abhinav's Ladakh trip is the only Journey I'll be following consistently throughout !

[@awenindoe]

Ok, honestly this is one of the best packing for rides videos I have seen recently. I like frugal travelling so it just hits the right spots. Thanks mate!

[@SrinivasGanesh]

lovely!!! So informative for people who pack a house in touring!!!

[@how-2465]

Yudhvir is only going to change his underwear. 😁 Jokes apart, that’s ULTRA LIGHT PRO NANO packing 👍 Just what you really need and not what you want

[@hulagunner]

yudhvir is a pro rider.. his riding techniques to packing skills everything is perfect

[@adityadeshmukh1191]

These 10-12 days are going to be awesome ! Both for Abhinav and all of us fans !

[@paduchurivamshi6826]

Man! Feels like im with you guys. Supercool pack! I hope i meet a riding group like yours! Peace🤞🏻

[@khullaasaand]

How pro traveller can you be? Yuddhvir: Yes

[@vigneshwarsiva910]

I was refreshing my youtube for your upload, and here we go. Thank you!

[@hussainpalitanawala3999]

Enjoying very moment of your videos. Be Safe.

[@currentaf8455]

Good one. Ride safe. Ride hard.

[@JH09SUMIT]

Yudhveer sir reminds me of Jordan Schlansky from Conan O' Brian's show, He looks so similar and sophisticated as him 😂

[@jitender0282]

I don't even look at your videos reason been the information you provide in your vlog is much more important. There is a small request if you could do something about the audio as it fluctuates a lot and sometimes it's good and sometimes it is difficult to hear you or the others who are giving information. Love you vlogs brother. Ride safe. Always a treat to see you and your rides.

[@abhinavbhatt]

Sure. I'll try to focus on audio.

[@jitender0282]

How much yudvir's tool kit cost?.. It's not clear

[@sanjayawsum]

Too good bro.. you're getting the rhythm.. 👍👍👍

[@abhinavbhatt]

Thanks

[@bahl88]

Identified a lot with the video. My packing is also done in packing cubes - modular and travel light.

[@abhinavbhatt]

That's the right approach.

[@shishupalchaudhary6462]

Yudhveer bhai ki bike par kaun se Handguards hain?? Is that a braced handle bar ?

[@adityadeshmukh1191]

Abhinav is the Absolute best !

Thank you.

Ideally we should Pack for a holiday.. In reality, we pack like it's some zombie apocalypse out there and take as much as we can

[@MadM0nkey]

Way he packs, looks like Yudhvir used to go solo hiking a lot

[@abhinavbhatt]

Yes

[@vvkmn05]

Very helpful video..

Thanks

[@TheScorp06]

mosko moto has some fantastic luggage systems. Mosko and Kriega, worth the money I think. Until I can afford them, I will stick with my rucksack or maybe get a roll bag from Rynox/Viaterra

[@266sunil]

Abhinav where did your friend get the SBV tool kit from. Looks nice

[@abhinavbhatt]

Thailand.

[@saumyadeepmahata9757]

Yudhbirs name suits his personality

[@Naqshsalim]

Nice details buddy.. one thing I would like to ask is do think it makes life easier if you have hard paniers n top rack?

[@abhinavbhatt]

No. Soft panniers are far better than hard panniers. Lighter, compact.

[@Naqshsalim]

@@abhinavbhatt thank you for the quick reply... God speed...

[@Whatreally123]

Were you guys carryong tubes fir the Himalayan amd the XPulse?

[@abhinavbhatt]

Yes

[@iTortoise3]

Which place was it at Banala? Also, why do we need cycling shorts for Riding? Thanks!

[@abhinavbhatt]

I don't remember which place. Cycling shorts are padded. They help with a very stiff seat

[@HimalayanBackpacker]

weren't you guys carrying tyre puncture repair kit or air pump , spare tubes etc... as all of you're having tubed tyre bike

[@abhinavbhatt]

We are. Spares are distributed amongst us so that we don't repeat carrying the same things.

[@HimalayanBackpacker]

@@abhinavbhatt thanks for replying sir ❤️

[@Bala.the.Baldie]

Do make a video on budget universal tail bags

[@abhinavbhatt]

I'll try.

[@realindian7108]

Does the tool kit have stuff for patching a flat ??

[@abhinavbhatt]

Yes

[@realindian7108]

@@abhinavbhatt What is used as a tire lever ? And do any of you guys use liquid sealant in tubed tires ? your opinion and which company makes good liquid sealant if at all ?

[@abhinavbhatt]

We use generic tyre levers. Never used sealant so can't say.

[@ridememoto]

Abhinav you guys were using tail bags only .. is it because of just type of bikes or do you guys normaly prefer tails bags over saddle…?

[@abhinavbhatt]

Yes, we were just using tailbags. Saddle bags would require saddle stays and that would add weight. We wanted to do the lightest weight adventure possible.

[@ridememoto]

@@abhinavbhatt thanks for your quick reply…🥂

[@abhinavbhatt]

Most welcome.

[@nayansharma858]

What's the name of this hotel?!

[@abhinavbhatt]

I don't remember. It is in the beginning of the next video though.

[@sinuslebastian6366]

I would suggest a Ride on air seat cushion or something similar for Tushar since you told in the last video that his seat was very uncomfortable. Look into them, they're very comfy!

[@abhinavbhatt]

He used one on this trip for a day but then we lost it!

Very nice video. You can literally see the difference b/w a pro rider and a relatively not so pro in Yudhvir and Tushar. Would’ve been good to get a sense of your packing skills as well @AbhinavBhatt

[@abhinavbhatt]

You'll get a sense of how I tied my luggage in future videos. Spoiler alert: It is not great.

@@abhinavbhatt looking forward! Any chance you could share your riding gear as well? Not sure have seen that on your channel

Bhaiji subscribers number kyun hide kar diye aapne.

[@abhinavbhatt]

Because mujhe farak nahi padta number of subscribers se. I think it is a very unhealthy trend where people judge others based on the number of people subscribing to their content.

After watching this I can now say for sure I am a fool for carrying a whole lot of unnecessary things for much shorter trip

[@abhinavbhatt]

Only carry what you absolutely must.

[@NavvLife]

People carry pressure cookers.

[@abhinavbhatt]

I won't criticise them, but for me, light luggage is the preferred route.

[@prashantrai7657]

no need for panniers actually

[@abhinavbhatt]

Definitely not.
