Only Indians allowed here (Pakistan Border)

In this episode, I am riding from Turtuk, at the end of Nubra valley, close to the border with Pakistan, all the way across Ladakh, to Pangong Lake, close to the border with China! It's an incredible ride across the high mountains of the Himalayas!

RE is paying her. She is promoting the brand which is going to release in Nov23.

[@hctim96]

I think Africa is a bit dangerous right now.. Best to hold off?

[@jaykb6587]

At least Royal Enfield values Noraly enough to sponsor her. Honda won't even help out with replacement parts for Alaska! Maybe it's time to consider asking RE if they would at least provide parts if Alaska needs to be retired. Alaska has been such a great advertisement for Honda...

I like Royal Enfield, but I'd really like to see how a veteran like Noraly would cope with a DCT Africa Twin on mud roads.

[@upadhyayrathiraj1518]

I have stayed at Turtok for 2 years during early 1990s, there were no roads then, only rocky tracks for military vehicles. The area is so much developed now. During my days, there was nothing for miles.

[@ericchazankin4919]

Very glad you chose to come back to India, and on that motorcycle too! You seem very comfortable on the new Himalayan, almost like no time has passed since you started your journey years ago. However - you return armed with the knowledge, experience and confidence you have gained through your many travels since then, and it shows - you are ready for whatever you may encounter. You have come full circle, literally and figuratively. The visuals you captured are truly spectacular - as always, thanks for bringing us along as you explore the wild corners of our little planet! 😉

It’s so so obvious why you returned to India. Absolutely gorgeous and plenty of rocks for the rock lady. I laughed out loud when you said “I don’t look Indian” hilarious! The drone footage was just amazing. Really enjoying your venture.

[@TC-dw6wg]

Plenty of rocks is 100% correct! 😂 I agree about that fantastic drone footage

[@GrrMeister]

[@simulacrae]

I don’t know why this feels so much more interesting than the Africa travels. Maybe because India and Pakistan is so connected to the silk route which have been something that feels like an adventure for a millennia.

[@stefans.3940]

I think the scenerie is more dramatic. The eyes have much more to catch with high mountains and deep canyons. It looks alot more impressing.

[@manh9105]

Well, Pakistan is an aberration. An artificial construct which came into being as a result of Islamic invasion of India. So it's India which was part of silk route. And its India which will survive for posterity

Hope things continue to grow there sustainably ( i dont want to see another SHIMLA...how People overcrowded it)

[@winter_silhouette]

​​@@arpanabinaswar1811 the real reason behind the underdevelopment of border regions was a policy of the Indian government and army to prevent invading Chinese troops from using the infrastructure like roads, tunnel etc. This policy was changed around 2010 if I remember correctly.

Wind over 70kph is still something I really struggle with because of the unsettling way it pushes and pulls you in different directions while you're trying to ride and leaves you feeling utterly exhausted from the struggle to maintain your line without going off-course.

While riding in J&K and Ladakh, one needs to keep in mind that what you have here is the "official" Indian version of the map of the region which does not show the "de-facto" borders - Line of Control (LoC) with Pakistan and Line of Actual Control (LAC) with China. The large region to the north-western extremity of the map - Gilgit Baltistan - is under Pakistani control, while the region in the north-eastern extremity - Aksai Chin - is under Chinese control. So the terrain isn't just geographically treacherous, but politically as well.

On a side note I always meant to comment how much I love your IB logo. It is a genius design. Thank you Noraly. Peace! ❤❤❤

Magical indeed!!🥰

[@christopherx7428]

Magnificent views! Not an easy country to build roads in and yet, they still managed to put tarmac on a lot of those small, winding, roads.

It’s wonderful to have you back Itchy Boots travelling. You take us to places we would never be able to go but for you wanting to share it with us. It’s incredible mountains , valleys and cultures. Awesome video marking…..i could watch your travels all day long(and sometimes do). Looking forward to the next video. Thankyou for wanting to take us with you.😊

[@jamesjoseph9798]

Started watching the channel sometime back. I was tempted to skip and watch the story but then decided to go through all the previous episodes in order. Season 1 to the present. Respect you.

Africa seems so stressful. This is so lovely and peaceful.

[@0arjun077]

If she don't visit Old Delhi in India Every other part is beautiful 😂.

[@ramk2443]

Mainland india is the most stressful driving in the world ... Himalayas on the other hand are just otherworldly

[@sarants4488]

@@ramk2443 rural India is also peaceful...but foreigner want to visit chaotic old cities not peaceful rural hill stations

[@goneagainADV]

Never considered riding near Pangong Lake before, but after looking at the mountain ranges and scenery it seems like a great idea!

[@barbaram5214]

I’m glad that Noraly took a break from Africa. I really enjoy seeing the mountains in such a beautiful landscape.

[@joanjackson9374]

So beautiful. Love how to switch from front camera to drone to back camera, etc. makes the videos more like reality for us. Love when you tell us the food - curious what people eat in these foreign lands.

[@badfinger61]

Fantastic, Noraly. Great part of the world to be riding - stunning vistas, challenging roads, incredible people. The mountains just seem to have this amazing positive affect on the phyche too, I find. Glad to see your hand is well healed too. Ride on!!!

[@kamal-hv5rl]

I salute your driving skills and pls don't forget to let Europe know how beautiful india is and how friendly Indians are...

[@zodiac9470]

Нашел случайно ваш канал ( собираюсь купить новый Гималай и смотрю на что он способен) и не могу оторваться от просмотра видео! какая же вы позитивная, смелая и очень красивая!!! Успехов вам и берегите себя!!!

[@abhisheksharma5732]

Your Ladakh adventure is truly inspiring! Watching this video brought back all the incredible memories of my own journey in Himalayan through that breathtaking region. It's not just a ride; it's a soul-stirring experience. Your footage captures the essence of Ladakh beautifully, and I can practically hear the mountains calling me back. Thanks for sharing this journey. Looks like Himalayan 450 is doing great 🏔️🏍️😊

[@prabhjitsingh5536]

Wow !!! Noraly chooses the most appropriate background music for her drone footage… the final product is just incredibly mesmerising. The melodious music and the desert mountain landscapes are heart tugging , makes one want to wander off into an adventure of one’s own. Gorgeous !! As always , a job well done Itchy Boots. You chose the right place and the perfectly right time to ride into Ladakh , its an astonishing place. Best wishes and prayers for you , enjoy the Himalayan adventure 👍

[@Banagal]

Such a beautiful and peaceful place! The people were so kind and helpful. The lake view was like a painting or a dream. Yes, it was a long day but so worth the visit. I loved this video. Thank you.

[@helix1061]

Grew up in Bombay (Mumbai). Am now a US citizen and have been here since 1980. The US is awesome. Have been to Kathmandu once, and was struck by the beauty of the Himalayas. It was great watching you drive near Ladakh. Have always wanted to go there but never did. All the best, and take care. PS: Have a good friend from Holland that lives here in Ann Arbor.

[@danishkamal]

Firstly, I must say RE has done a fabulous job with the bike, it just chugs along and conquers the most difficult terrain in the world at such high altitudes. Secondly no one captures nature as well as you do. Look forward to more drone shots in next video.

[@KristopherNoronha]

although to be fair, the roads have improved a lot since 2014 (the last time I was there) and RE is designed for this sort of terrain... I did it in 2013 and 2014 on a honda 225 with a pillion, fully loaded 70L panniers (basically stuff for 2 people for a 19 day trip) with regular street tyres... kinda like those guys in africa tackling crazy terrain in 125s :D

[@allancoghill8610]

Wow Noraly, with these first 2 videos from India its easy to see why you were immediately hooked on adventure bike travel when you rented that Royal Enfield in 2018! Spectacular scenery (and beautifully presented). Thanks for bringing us along this time!

[@leighsirvent654]

Such majestic area! The view and that blue river!!!! Thanks for sharing!

[@stefantrnacek1394]

That scenery is just stunning. Thank you for taking us there.

[@user-qk4jc4pi7m]

The views from the monastary are spectacular as are stuning from the road. Thank you for taking us along. You enjoy and so do we.👍

[@kitegem]

The scale of the landscape is epic! 👍🏻

[@0arjun077]

That's because it's Himalayas the largest Mountain range on earth, so everything else feels tiny and irrelevant.

[@davedefea5530]

14:50, love how you're talking about the power and Im looking around and you're in the middle of nowhere!. thanks for sharing.

[@journeyWithAshutosh]

By seeing your videos. I really got goosebumps... Bcz all the views remind us of our trip to ladakh. Hope you have enjoyed the ride in Bharat 🇮🇳

[@ijkeir]

That scenery is unbelievably beautiful especially the rock formations and the way some rocks are almost vertical. It leaves you wondering what happened in ancient times and the violent movements of the earth for things to finish up like that.

[@oklahomahank2378]

It makes you realize our various little problems mean nothing in geological time.

[@deepblue3682]

India which was an island after being separated from australia and east africa collided with asia forming himalayan mountain ranges, which you see in this video.. is still growing. !! Means... india is still colliding with asia, as we speak..
