The Himalayan Lake that is split between INDIA 🇮🇳 and CHINA

In this episode, I ride alongside Pangong Lake, the worlds highest saltwater lake and 1/3 is in India, and 2/3 in China. That means, I have to cross the 8th highest mountain pass, to avoid getting too close to the border with China...

As a motorcyclist myself with over 600,000 miles of traveling all over the USA and Canada I find it so very very amazing Noraly does all her miles mostly on simple, light, reliable single cylinder motorcycles. I did most of my traveling on six cylinders found within the Honda Goldwings. Noraly is my favorite You Tube motorcyclist. She humbles me. She’s the true spirit of a global adventurer and she is the best at teaching us via her travels. What a great teacher you are Noraly. Thank you. 🙏❤️

[@la_lorongames9903]

One of the main advantage of travelling on a single cylinder motorcycle is that it has less heating issues, more gas mileage. You can cover more miles with less fuel compared to 4 cylinder or 6 cylinder motorcycle. So overall, when it comes to single cylinder motorcycles, it has its advantage despite of engine refinement. I live in India myself. For us, 300 cc motorcycle is more than adequate. 90% of Indians they are still using single cylinder motorcycles here. I use a twin cylinder btw for a better refinement.

The mixed breed between cows and yaks are called Dzo. They are less resilient than yaks but yield more milk. I was in Ladakh with a group about 50 years ago, in only the second year the country had been opened for tourism. We had to travel in an ancient bus from Srinagar, a 2-day bus ride via Kargil and the Pensi La pass. We only saw busses and lorries, no cars. We had to bring all the food with us from Srinagar since there were no shops in Ladakh which then had a pure subsistence economy. It was like coming into the Middle Ages. Everyone still wore traditional clothes. We stayed in the only hotel in Leh which featured a single 25W incandescent light bulb. It was the adventure of a lifetime. How things have changed!

It seems Leh had obviously developed in the year from the time you went. We stayed in a very decent hotel. The bazar was bustling. There was even a cinema hall - with one show per day. Electricity was provided for 3 hours a day through a 20 MW genset. Tough luck if the film did not finish in those 3 hours - which was often and did happen to us.

I think they are Demoiselle cranes which migrate each year from Japan to India

[@saurabhvashist4051]

​@@PaulAllen6304 Those are definitely Black-necked cranes. The black neck and tail feather plumage of the crane distiguish it from the gray color of the Demoiselle. Unlike the Demoiselle cranes, the Black-necked cranes reside in the Tibetan Plateau, Ladakh, Sikkim and Bhutan and simply move to lower elevations on the Plateau or the Himalayas. The Demoiselle crane has a long distance migration instead and only migrates to India's warmer states of Rajasthan and Gujarat from Central Asia. Also, the Swiss naturalist Otto Pfister wrote a book called Birds and Mammals of Ladakh (Oxford India) that included this bird on the cover of the book. It is the state bird of the Union Territory of Ladakh and in Noraly's video one can see that it is a pair with a young one whose plumage is yet to mature.

I nominate Noraly as World Ambassador! What a great person to travel and share her worldly experiences with us. She has the utmost respect for everywhere and everyone she meets! This episode by far has some of the most spectacular scenery that she has captured for us. Her videography and narration makes this channel better than any cable/sat tv channel out there! Thanks Noraly. Keep on doing what your doing and keep the rubber on the road!

[@jasonzerbini2375]

Well said! I agree and have said same many times. Nothing compares. Absolutely nothing. She is a master at so many things and most of all she is so humble.

[@WillysPerformanceCycleCtr]

I agree! I have been saying for some time now that Noraly is the Ambassador of Adventure Travel! She is an excellent teacher and her knowledge of her surroundings is amazing.

[@lokech9272]

She can be a great Goodwill and Peace ambassador as well as @SabbaticalTommy too whose videos of his travels are really amazing and insightful

Well said indeed!!!! It is incredible!

[@hawaiigurl747]

👋 Noraly. This scenery is so stinkin beautiful. And the bike looks awesome too! So glad I found your channel, I have binged all your episodes from day 1. You have taught me “worries for another time” and that has been a big improvement how I live my daily life. The world is blessed for having you in it. Keep smiling, keep posting, and stay safe 💗 🏍️

[@pedrera.stone-pitt]

Olá... obrigado por mais esse passeio aleatório, e até com ônibus elétrico (aos 20:18) contrastando com a paisagem!

[@s_dharni2483]

What a sharp sight…. Kudos 🎉

[@TomSkulander]

Noraly, I've been following you right from your very earliest videos but today's brought back so many fond memories of my 2 month trip to the Ladakh, Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh, 22 years ago. The Himalayan mountains are harsh, stark and at the same time totally captivating. The mixture of Indian and Tibetan people who are warm and welcoming in these regions will always leave lasting memories for me. Thank you for sharing and may you always be safe.

[@cheyjan330]

Lovely comment ~

[@firstsparkle5378]

Visit again, so much changed in 22 years, especially infrastructure of those regions

[@vp4744]

Your drone footage is to die for. This is the only thing worth watching on my big screen TV.

[@tonyashworth1500]

It's hard to imagine Noraly returning to normal life when she finally decides to hang up her boots. I hope she keeps entertaining us for a long time yet with more exciting adventures and stunning scenery.

[@WillysPerformanceCycleCtr]

The colors are indeed beautiful! The aerial footage is amazing and brings the whole area into view. So great to meet so many nice people. Another wonderful day in your India tour. Ride safe Noraly!

[@ramishrambarran3998]

The roads in those mountainous areas are better than the roads in my country !! Wonderful scenery. Noraly is in her element ! Trinidad & Tobago. West Indies.

[@Janets-Little-World]

That scenery is beyond beautiful, beyond stunning. Thanks for this wonderful video Noraly xx

[@susanne.mcmillan]

Thank you Noraly ! What a magic ride. I hope you have time to explore a lot more of the Himalayas before returning to Africa.

[@sudsfreedom]

The number of times you have said 'Unbelievable' is 'Unbelievable' :). As an Indian, it makes me happy. Happy Journey!

[@narenderchahal9895]

It’s nostalgic ❤ I did Ladakh on Himalayan after watching your episodes from first tour…. and now you’re again back to Ladakh on new Himalayan 🙌 Had there been a way to give likes more than one I would have given 1000 likes 😍😍 you feel much connected to us ❤ Noraly you’re awesome 🥰🥰

[@Inspired_rider]

Amazing episode! You've captured and shared the stark beauty of that landscape perfectly. So beautiful. Thank you for showing us.

[@stewy62]

If I had a list of my favourite Itchy Boots videos this would be in the top ten (and I have watched every one). Amazing scenery 🇬🇧

[@jasper_malan]

So beautiful! Amazing how beautiful the contrasting colors between the lake and the mountains!! 👍❤️🇿🇦

[@rotekaiserin]

It looks like another planet! D: Amazing, how people live under these conditions. Thanks for sharing, safe ride!

[@Robert8455]

Thanks to you I am able to see the incredible remote and beautiful places on this planet that I would never otherwise see. Experiencing the view from your bike and the added drone footage is simply amazing. I am certain you could sell selected photos in an art store. There are several amazing vistas I would love seeing framed up and hanging on my wall. Wonderful memories of my time riding virtually with Itchy Boots!

[@timlyons5191]

I love your channel it’s very peaceful I was in the hospital for 6 days and found your channel and it helped me get thru that bad time thank u so much for making these in the way u do

[@russsaunders321]

The Himalayan mountains are awesome as well as the people. The drone shots were terrific especially the one that showed all the curves in the road! Loved it! Great adventure today!

[@torril4904]

Beautiful country, the Himalayas! Thanks for sharing!

[@monikgagnon]

Bonjour Noraly, comme tu nous fait rêver avec ces paysages exceptionnels et mythiques. Ça donne envie de se lancer dans cette aventure. Toute cette immensité, cette liberté,c est magique! Bravo !! C est un délice de te suivre. Merci ❤❤

[@ravitejacherukuri1819]

I have been to the Pangong Lake this July and felt like I'm right there again as I watched this video! Love the way you've shown this beauty to the World. Great work, Itchy Boots!

[@richardvervoorn6626]

So many awe-inspiring views again, Noraly. You richly deserve all the enjoyment and pleasures you obtain from these adventures you’re on. I’m a little surprised that even in some of the out of the way places you’ve passed through English is spoken and understood. Talk about the land where time has stood still, you’ve certainly found it again. It almost seems that the ‘welcomes’ you receive are so genuine and friendly. I hope that all of your interactions go that way. You are truly a wonderful ambassador for the Netherlands…❤❤❤Rick

[@marcelomarretasridersmc]

Amazing, I bought my Hima in 2019 because of you, and I still have it traveling around Latin America and especially Brazil. I can't wait for the new 452 to arrive and have both. Congratulations

[@tbymrtn]

Amazing how Noraly can take the attention away from the Himalayan 450 and redirect it towards the places it was designed to visit. It reminds us that it really isnt about the features of the bike but the spirit of the rider.

[@prabhjitsingh5536]

This is one of the most amazing vlogs from you Noraly in respect to the landscape and videography. Just incredibly astonishing ! The views from drone camera are exhilarating, showcasing the beautiful Ladakhi scenery. Riding here on the roof of the world as they call it is tiring due to lack of oxygen. You are doing a great job Noraly... enjoy your ride

[@tonylynch8668]

The views are absolutely inspiring. The backdrop of snow capped mountains, the amazing colour's from the lakes and your video footage of the super roads you are traveling is just to die for. Thanks Noraly for another super episode 🏞️👍🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

[@daverow49]

Absolutely spectacular scenery. Your drone footage is breathtaking. A very harsh environment but the Himalayan Motorcycle took it all in its stride. Looking forward to the next episode. Safe travels.

[@leannevuellon5963]

Dankzij uw vele reizen via onbekende plaatsen en terreinen, zien we veel van de wereld, wat interessant en boeiend is om te zien

[@glorisol3805]

Beautiful lake, beautiful mountains, beautiful people. The color of the water is amazing! Love the music you chose... as always, very in synch with the awesome images!

[@anileengray5892]

What phenomenal landscapes. You have captured them perfectly. I am loving being back in India!! Thank you taking me there.

[@wilsonayala5628]

La verdad uno de los mejores capitulos en cuanto a paisajes !!! Increíbles !! Gracias por compartir con todos tus viajes 👏👏👏te saludo desde Uruguay 🇺🇾🇺🇾🇺🇾🇺🇾

[@uzairdrabu]

Stunning video Nora! Have been following your beautiful journey since the first time you rode in India. So proud of you! ❤

[@davidmoorman731]

What you are bringing to us is just amazing!! And so well presented. Thank you😊

[@ricardocabeza4238]

Beautiful and wonderful video Noraly, you've shown a side of India that few of us have ever seen, its incredible!! God speed from Canada.... 🇨🇦🇨🇦😘😘🏍🏍👍👍

[@milindsoni143]

Leh-ladhak is the most amazing place to ride on the planet. Feeling happy that you made it here in india for second time. Getting inspired and soon I will be there on my himmy. Thanks Noraly for coming to India.

[@renelub452]

As usual great footage again. The vastness of this terrain is breathtaking. Your Basanti 2 seems to be doing very well at these altitudes. Keep them coming champ!

[@sonic.garden]

Basan2 😊

[@geofiggy]

Hey N, beautiful drone sequences. Gorgeous colour on the lakes. Thanks for your time and resources. Take care and ride safe. 🖖🏽🤟🏽

[@richardbrown1160]

Exceptional episode Noraly! The scene with the lake in front of the mountains was absolutely beautiful! And once again, you are teaching this old guy more about the geography of the many countries of the world than other documentaries I have ever watched.

[@jasonzerbini2375]

Well said Richard. I'm 62 in USA and have learned so much more about geography and culture by watching Noraly than school or watching typical TV/media. For decades we were taught and shown a specific narrative about other countries and finally now, here comes this wonderful amazing woman to reveal the truth. She truly is the real Wonder Woman! Peace!

[@WillysPerformanceCycleCtr]

You are correct my friend! Noraly has taught us more geography, geology, and history of nations around the world than any text book that I’ve been exposed to.

[@newbiekhyber]

And that's a salt water lake. It is basically an ancient ocean.

[@salvadorzamora236]

Geez Noraly. The whole time I was worried you were going to run out of petrol ⛽️. You never seem to panic. You are an amazing adventurer. Thank you for including us in your life experiences and journey ❤

[@shivamgautam949]

In India, you never get out of fuel. You always gonna find someone who gonna help you, that's what Indians and India is all about. No worries, India is absolutely terrific!!

[@shivajithakur7735]

In india, it is not a problem you can find petrol pump everywhere. if you run out of fuel just call the army they help everyone

[@SoloLevellor]

In these border areas , You can just call the armies for help , so it's not a problem

[@ricktraceusa8624]

Another great video, both you and the bike are breathing very well at that high of elevation! You ride those roads so good with all the rocks in the center. Stay warm and safe!

[@equityboss5507]

Glad to know you enjoyed your ride, Ladakh ride with Himalayan is in my bucket list too. Welcome to India and keep Exploring India!

[@jasonzerbini2375]

Hey Noraly, how am I supposed to get any work done if you keep putting out these killer videos so frequently? Incredible scenery with your signature impressive drone work. Loved the squiggly snake road! The altitudes you ride in are most amazing. I looked up Pangong's elevation after last video and was shocked. You do it like nothing. Then 17,851' and not even a groan! I am thrilled seeing this part of the world from your lens! When you recap the Royal Enfield, I'd be interested in knowing its fuel economy, pretty-please. Thank You Noraly. Peace! ❤❤❤
