MO2W #40 - BIKEPACKING THE ANNAPURNA CIRCUIT

[@MrTraveller360]

I DIN'T SKIP A MINTUTE ! WOW WHAT A JOURNEY

[@murilotomasoni7029]

Goodness. I did this trek back in 1996 and got completely SHOCKED (In a good way) that most of it now is bikeable. As I switch from backpack in the old days to bicycle nowadays, this sure will get on my bucket list again. Safe travels!

[@garethbale3565]

I also would like to do that trip. Do might want to do it together?

[@JamesBriano]

I did the trek in '96 as well-left my bike with a nice kid in Pokhara for a few weeks. Absolutely unbelievable that it's possible to ride the route now. Did you see the TOILET at 10:30? Unreal!

[@estherdali9149]

I did the Annapurna Base Camp trek in 1997. And this vid also now have me thinking of going back for the circuit on a bike! Amazing views and challenge.

[@Luigi13]

A lot of hard work just for the pleasure of cycling, and the experience that comes with it. Great video with an optimism in the making of it. Bravo.

[@ist_doch_ganz_egal]

Just stunning - I totally understand why you wanted to do this. Respect for that.

[@dangru8760]

This Chanel is honestly delivering the best feeling of bike packing...FANTASTIC, I love it!!!

[@MONKEYON2WHEELS]

[@mingmasherpa7236]

Great video. I did this bike packing trip 5 years ago but took a different route. I went over the Tillicho Lake pass down to Johmson then back over throng La. Throng La is was better west to east, the descent down into Manang was superb.

[@GlobalTribal]

The music is really beautiful, especially the closing segment.

[@hugodoucet2872]

Thank you so much for allowing us to take part on that journey! All the best on the next chapter!!

[@kaihennig4753]

Amazing Video. 📹 God bless. 🙏🌹🌹🌹

[@markmark5159]

Wow! There are a lot of videos out there of people riding the AC, this is definitely up there amongst the best. Great work man.

[@MONKEYON2WHEELS]

Man thanks a lot. Glad to hear you enjoyed it :)

[@Viralwebus007us]

Hi Thanks it was just fun watching u bike 🚴😉

[@LittleRock_wunderer]

Thank you for the incredible and inspiring journey!

[@thebikejournal0303]

Incredible and inspiring journey. Thanks for taking us along.

[@williamwilliam728]

I can honestly say thanks for bringing us into your world. The only bicycle adventrue I did was a solo ride across Canada. Nothing compares to what you just displayed and yet I did struggle in my own ways going across Canada. The amount of oxygen deprivation must have been overwhelming on that last summit. Stay safe and may the winds be mostly at your back.

[@MONKEYON2WHEELS]

Cheers William :) thanks for your words

[@Slogfester]

You make it look so easy. Chapeau.

[@MONKEYON2WHEELS]

I was lucky with the weather conditions and I guess I can handle the altitude quite good :)

[@sarojdeuja8014]

Man very brave journey.

[@averagemarv]

The best adventure bike journey I’ve ever watched. What more the experience of riding it. Safe travel always mate!

[@gruttewibe76]

Besides stunning scenery, great camera work, nice sense of humor, I also like the music, and the photography at the end. Very relaxing to watch (and listen).

[@gruttewibe76]

Really gorgeous music.

[@MONKEYON2WHEELS]

Thank you so much :) I’m glad you like the music 🙏

[@Jeetesh.kabir15]

Brother loved the video you uploaded. God bless you😊

[@Itsashim22]

I’m a Nepalese bloke currently living in Australia and you did my dream project man. Kudos to you.🎉

[@sandeep7090]

This is one of the best videos I ve seen about the journey through the Annapurna Circuit. I ve completed the trekking 6 months ago on foot and your video brought back those fond memories of my journey. Great job man 👏

[@pandoro23081968]

I did this circuit by bike in november 2019... what a fantastic trip!! In your video I noticed that past Manang now they brought electricity!! When I was there the lodges run with solar power only

[@G-R-VLOG-1234]

My dream route. Definitely I will be going through this route one day!

[@edkriegepiano]

U are an awesome, fit, true traveller. I salute u. Biswajit, India.

[@tristanbogaard]

What a beautiful video, in such challenging terrain and altitude! I know how hard that is, really well done. Watched the entire thing with appetite to ride the circuit some day.

[@Explorercyclist]

@tristanbogaard your vlogs are well enjoyable ❤ from INDIA ❤

[@simonletcombe5293]

[@randygrebel1539]

Well, I've seen some crazy adventurous KZbin trip videos, but this is the tops. Very fun to watch from my living room, though I'd love to do this.

[@omare_biketonature]

You’re an inspiration for me, what a beautiful ride! Hope we can cross paths one day! Thank you for the video and good luck with the busking and the festivals this summer 😎

[@MONKEYON2WHEELS]

Thanks mate, safe ride to you :)

[@8coast843]

Wow amazing video. Thanks for sharing 🙏 I did a hike towards Annapurna base camp in 2016, so it is great to see it from a different perspective.

[@japesgrg7062]

Well come to hotel mountain Bridge in upper pisang 🙏🙏🙏

[@elmod75]

Awesome video Eric, loved it.

[@stanowen5457]

Wow!!! Iam in shocked, cause its very hard...i mean health etc.

[@Elves_Bikes_UK]

I has the absolute pleasure of going this journey in 2011 on an old hardtail MTB. No so much track, a lot more hikimg with your bike on your back and no tarmac. It will forever be the best adventure I have ever achieved.

[@RedfieldmediaCoUk]

So good I watched it twice

[@adrianfbird]

I absolutely bloody love that trek doing it again at the end of the year. Good luck dude 👍

[@sunilmaharjan3321]

Simply Amazing 🎉

[@TGKHONGLAH]

Awesome, very inspirational.

[@Serhii60]

Great job!

[@christianhohrhan5723]

[@mariospenard5125]

Have a safe ride!

[@ridgelinemedia9690]

Really enjoyed this

[@dougdavis8986]

Hiked this in 1993. It was great. No roads and no bikes.

[@loudoret353]

Thank you for taking the time to share your adventure with us. Wow - what a ride! I guess a lot of folk would suffer from altitude sickness at that height. Look forward to more adventures from India. Go safely.

[@peterpan3053]

What a journey. Thank you so much.

[@jeetmangurung4823]

welcome to Nepal brave man 🙏🇳🇵

[@MascaPiedras]

Beautiful video, really enjoyed it ❤

[@Through_Sams_cam]

[@razo0mlama103]

Thank you for introducing my own country 🙏🏼 as being a Nepali I haven't experienced this ultimate beauty of nature ...keep cycling 😊

[@adarshnamdev5834]

[@langdalepass]

Hi I have just found your channel, really great glad I did. 👍 Could I ask what camera re women's you use please, particularly the views from the pole.

[@MONKEYON2WHEELS]

Its a insta 360 camera :)

[@langdalepass]

@@MONKEYON2WHEELS Thanks Eric for the reply , I will carry on watching your great videos with interest. Thank you.

[@adri_climb]

Realy nice video. A pleasure to watsh it. ;)

[@DineshLahiru]

Amazing ❤❤❤

[@SNOWDONTRYFAN]

Having trekked the whole circuit , plus up into the sanctuary and Annapurna base camp when it was mostly all trail before being blasted out in parts to give the area more accessibility . one wonders how one gets around the crazy new 2023 Nepalese rules re: everyone now must have a hired guide , will they have guides for adventure bikers also ?

[@cyclingaroundtheglobe]

one of my favorite treks in the world:) I've done it 4 times, but never on a bicycle...maybe that's what's next:)

[@garethbale3565]

same. Do you might want to do it together?

[@cyclingaroundtheglobe]

@@garethbale3565 setting off on a world cycle tour in 4 weeks time, currently Nepal is not on the immediate itinerary:(

[@3niknicholson]

I left my heart there, been four times, completed the circuit twice, saw snow leopard tracks, mother and child, near Thorung La, met the nicest people in the world and saw the most magic mountains. N-E-P-A-L = Never Ending Peace And Love. Maybe I'll go back and die there, close to Heaven. Namaste!

[@MONKEYON2WHEELS]

Yeah such a beautiful country ❤️ lovely people and breathtaking nature. Probably my favourite country so far

[@T3RR0RVISI0N]

Excellent, thanks

[@Dreamindr]

Nice circle! Please tell me, when did you make the circle around Annapurna?

[@MONKEYON2WHEELS]

I was doing it early December last year. Later in December its gonna be more snow up there and more cold.

[@mateusz3162]

Great trip and video, ty

[@Stockmatketlatestnews]

Can't wait for more videos! Eagerly waiting for them & if luck has it maybe we can cycle someday together!!! Lots of love!!!

[@dropeipromundo]

[@inflivia]

Absolutely sick trip. Well done sir.

[@Salam.Games04]

Great job ❤

[@EdwinPaul-b5y]

awesome

[@r0ll1ng3r]

Ich nochmal. Die Fotos am Schluss sind große Klasse. Kann man die irgendwo anders auch betrachten?

[@MONKEYON2WHEELS]

Danke :) Aktuell noch nicht, aber ich werde mir was einfallen lassen :)

[@copernicusvanstruselclit9508]

amazing as always

[@Wolfloid]

I first did this trek in 1991 out of season in February with over a metre of snow all the way from Thorung Phedi - a real killer - the hardest thing I’ve ever done - falling repeatedly waist deep into the snow. I did it again in 2010 in season, with less snow, and it was comfortable. But that was without a bike! All credit to you, especially for your light-hearted manner and attitude. What happened to your nice titanium bike? Wouldn’t that have been lighter?

[@MONKEYON2WHEELS]

Man I Imagine this in snow 🤯 must have been tough. Though er than with the bike and no snow for sure :D the titanium bike is right now at home. But yes it would have saved me maybe about 1kg :)

[@matthewfreeman530]

When did you do this trip? The weather timing looks to be great.

[@MONKEYON2WHEELS]

Early December. I think November would be equally good but probably less snow on top

[@franckdebank]

Superb!

[@Vadim_MGN]

Incredible What kind of camera do you use to take your videos?

[@MONKEYON2WHEELS]

Nikon Z6 + 28-25mm snd a DJI osmo action

[@jamann752]

Deep Respect❤ my dream to do the circle too🎉 How about a trip from Medan to Lombok?😊

[@MONKEYON2WHEELS]

Thanks mate :) Ouhhh Indonesia sounds great aswell. But not in my near future tho :D

[@lazerleo_cyclonaut]

what month did you ride the circuit? wonderful video and makes me think about cycling instead of hiking :D

[@MONKEYON2WHEELS]

I was there in early December...after that its starting to be more covered in snow :)

[@lukejoy-smith8383]

Brilliant

[@onelove8062]

Legend bro I hiked this 5 years ago

[@onemorecyclist]

Really enjoyed watching this. Brought back memories of trekking to Everest Base Camp (north side) in 2000 ... and bumping into the odd crazy cyclist along the way! :) Congrats on an epic ride!

[@Gurungedition]

Beautifully captured! What's the name of the song @ 6:09?

[@MONKEYON2WHEELS]

It haven given it a proper name yet...but you can listen to it here :) on.soundcloud.com/WAq5Y
