REAL INDIA | Ride To Hampi, Rural Life & A Challenge

[@richardsims3847]

Many years ago I wanted to return to Hampi,buy a corracle made of nylon fertiliser sacks coated with tar and float down the Cauvery river.I was there for a new year and despite it being a dry state got a plastic bag of local brew and didn't go blind.Slept on the roof of one of the few village houses.When you get home have a read about Viyanagar which had sanitation when we were still throwing soil into the street.

[@bucksman]

Karnataka isn't a dry state. Perhaps, there's a ban on selling liquor around the heritage site.

[@richardsims3847]

@ This was back in the early 90s and remember it being very different from Goa.

[@bucksman]

@@richardsims3847 OMG. That’d be pretty different 😆 yet more adventurous. I guess back then alcohol availability would be pretty limited in that area. This district has always been one of the lesser developed regions in Karnataka.

[@missiontoaccomplish]

The presence of people, the diversity of culture and lifestyle land nature and such things made my life enjoyable. Never felt stressed or depressed. I always enjoyed my life in India. But after I went to the west I felt like I am controlled by someone and I don't have my own time, and I am stressed and depressed sometimes. But when I returned I felt I am back to normal . What I am saying is life is enjoyable in the real nature

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Very well put, I think you are totally right

[@stevefleming4450]

Again 16:30.." If you have a family... kids..." and Darcy is on the swing.. you guys are killing me. 😂😂

[@ArturoEspinosaAldama]

Yeah, that was perfect timing.

[@Rextar92]

Indeed that was the perfect timing 😂😂

[@sharathkumarreddy8525]

16:37 Haha....Darcy letting his inner child out there🤣🤣🤣 can't hold back when ya see a swing😆

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

😂was the biggest swing I’ve ever seen lol 😂

[@ArturoEspinosaAldama]

And a good stretch for the body after a bike ride, actually.

[@onlyedits9269]

man india is fun to live......you never feel alone....A BLESSED LAND INDEED.....NO DOUBT EVERYONE WANTED TO CAPTURE IT...

[@ruffleschips9055]

You have shown more of the life of India, than any TV documentary I've seen. Thanks for a real look at part of our world.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Wow that's great to hear 🙏

[@defaultuser3410]

I agree with you, spectacular riding and scenery. Great video guys, I felt like I was there with you! Loving this series.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@andrew6526]

The river crossing gave me Itchy Boots vibes, god knows how many she did.Well done gents, best vid yet.

[@JoJo-hc4dj]

Wow that ox is a beast! Hampi looks awesome and very spiritual. The river crossing looked fun 😅 You guys are making me want to go to India 🇮🇳

[@Aditya-dg9zg]

If you have much time in India kindly travel North East India and Ladakh , Kerala too .

[@kornstargaming7245]

I keep thinking that the best bit of these videos is when you are unable to travel with your father, you'll have all your adventures documented to watch again and again. Inspires one to do the same.

[@RyanLee-hh7sw]

You guys will never forget your great travels in India and because of your video neither will all of us! So thank you to have a father son road trip on motorcycles must be the greatest experience ever.

[@johngault-9597]

Darcy, those giant boulders were put there by retreating glaciers during one of the ice ages...

[@dodgerboe]

I'll think you're find History and Geography of World Indoctrination Education has misinformed so many of so much. You may be correct but also have to understand Giants were real and have been proven to build enormous structures all around the world. Smithsonian Institution has been hiding so much from the people... just research the Grand Canyon a d the hidden Caves and City !

[@techcrypto493]

We don't need motorcycle reviews rather we need vlogging from now on...😊

[@saddle8bag]

Old man wakes up to see Darcy lacing his sneakers. Asks Darcy where he's going. Darcy says "there's a leopard outside our tent pops." Old man says, "Son, you can't outrun a leopard." Darcy responds, "I don't have to pops, I just have to outrun you!"

[@paulhowlett4953]

Really enjoying these vids, your relaxed unpatronizing style makes them so much more enjoyable. Love the Tabla.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

@@paulhowlett4953 thank you 🙏

[@prashant1208]

its not tabla. its mridangam.

[@om2121]

Ich hoffe, dass ich mir diese gesamte Tour als Rentner gönnen kann. Fantastic 😊

[@knottytoob]

Beste wünsche und erfolg. Ek Om Kar :)

[@ndgprasad]

Hampi is capital city of vijayanagara empire. At that time Hampi is the richest city in the world. It was destroyed during Islamic invasions in 1565. Because of fall of vijayanagara empire British french and Portuguese colonised as India.

[@bibliophile5700]

Why are you crying everytime?

[@HunterVlog350cc]

2 things that are a-must watch south of hampi- hebbe waterfalls which is nestled in between coffee eatates and other is hyosaleshwara temple- absolute marvel in stone cutting and architecture , and you will find good forest products too like wild honey, pain relief oils and spices❤ en route, lastly do try chicken or mutton ghee roast in that region

[@simonchilli2088]

The look on Darcy's face on the swing😂🤣. Like riding a bike you never forget how it's done🤗

[@martin96991]

Petting an Ox 🐂 can be dangerous sometimes, most are chill but you never know.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Very true!

[@chanbasappa5474]

Oxen trained for work are very docile.but untrained ox/ bull calves and bulls used for breeding can be very dangerous to strangers.

[@bittun1607]

Thats not an ox its castarated male and has less aggression

[@sudhansuranjanmohapatra6429]

Thanks for enabling us to watch such beautiful landscapes, temples,countryside from your lenses .Hope you guys are enjoying ❤

[@DaveSunderland]

Very good video……. Merry Christmas. ❤

[@racingper]

The fall of civilization podcast on youtube has the best documentary on vijaynagara empire....absolutely fantastic scenery and brilliant storytelling.

[@terrycavender]

Very nice! It's quite the landscape, yes?

[@sudiptoatutube]

I will definitely visit Hampi someday. Your video mixed with beautiful Indian Tabla sound made it so exciting.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Thank you 🙏

[@Bidemented]

Next time bring your friends, cousins and relatives to India , come with the whole family , you can great experience with least budget here 👍 there are 28 states and 8 Union Territories with diverse culture and landscapes in India , too much to explore.

[@martynlaverick3405]

‘If Darcy gets chased by a leopard I will film it’😂 Classic Dad saying. This is a bloody brilliant adventure and loving every second of these vids.

[@golmatol6537]

Since you guys love bike riding, I highly recommend Ladakh.

[@critterIMHO]

Wheelie bins and garbage trucks doing weekly routes would make India amazing

[@dhruvadutt7116]

Darcy on the swing while the ol man talks about the park being for kids had me dying 😂

[@sys9208]

Hampi was an ancient city not just temples..those temples are part of city

[@acidmonster7802]

We need longer episodes. 20 min is not sufficient

[@cousinjack2841]

These vlogs just fly by; so interesting. I have never subscribed to modern 'adventure' bike phenomenon and watching you guys doing some real adventuring on a classic 350 just confirms my view point. I'd love to see a couple of massive 1200cc plastic enshrouded modern 'adventure' bikes deal with that ferry crossing. Give me the RE classic , perhaps with a set of trail tyres, and that'll handle most of the adventuring I want to do. Excellent stuff gentlemen; thank you.

[@ml9474]

What a dream trip, amazing!

[@roygoode2428]

Even after being broken down by mallecha MULLAS the temples still look magnificent. Love my india 🇮🇳

[@LaghavendraKumar]

The whole boat ride on a bullet was so freakin' cool man... shoutout to the trip organizers for leading to great locations.

[@stevefleming4450]

4mins 50sec in.. "If Darcy gets chased by a leopard, I will film it". That's just epic. 😂😂😂 great shot guys. Big thumbs up.

[@AnnaClarks-x2h]

Your videos are always full of creativity and style. Thank you for your skill!🌱🎂🗻

[@viraltube4232]

those rock formations you saw are mountains broken down into small to big rocks like that to make stone things like statues and materials for making parts of buildings most of them could be granites and that police car is Mahindra Scorpio

[@pranav-qt4yu]

No, it is Mahindra bolero.

[@SahibSrivastavathyshb]

All these rides to Hampi would have been so soothing on a Himalayan 450, though.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

We don’t really like the 450 engine, it lacks the RE soul. For me the perfect bike would be the Bear 650 but we were more than happy with the Classic 350 👌🏻

[@SahibSrivastavathyshb]

@@MrDarcy-OlMan I tried the Bear 650, and it definitely feels buttery smooth. The stance is also improved compared to everything else. I've ridden more than 2,000 km on the Himalayan 450 in the mountains of northern India, and for me, it was the perfect bike. I've also heard that the Himalayan is coming out with a 750cc model in the future-something to look forward to.

[@knottytoob]

A+ outro tune!

[@Farney-gy1qo]

Stunning!!!! What an Amazing Adventure!

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

It's awesome 🙏

[@gradbuckie]

the "Character" of the land has exceeded the "character" of the motorcycle. fantastic

[@Joe90-e4r]

Another amazing video. One of the rock formations reminded me of Fred Flintstone's house. Ha ha ha.

[@ElizabethTurner-s2m]

Watching your channel is always an exciting and educational journey. Keep inspiring and teaching us with your videos!🎳🦖🤠

[@agnosticthom]

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Thanks great to know 🙏

[@mailmeabhilash]

10th one is the most boring place. It's practically a scam now.

[@bucksman]

The 7th place is really not a magnetic hill. It's just an illusion formed coz of the mountains and the road being on opposite inclinations.

[@gss6531]

Amazing! That scenery at the start reminds me of Red Dead Redemption scenery.

[@sunyrj25]

Men.❤❤❤I was born and lived my entire life in India..but you know India better than me..

[@kasturiswami784]

You should go to the Deccan to see the rock formations. Oldest rocks.

[@HunterVlog350cc]

so some say it was in 12000bc and some say it was 7000bc but whatever is the timeline of ramayana epic , Hampi was known as Kishkindha empire , was that of another race of humans - Vanars who has tails and resembled the monkeys , today there is only of those who is still living as per hinduism - lord hanuman whom we worship , there is one cave- sugriva’s gufa, rishyamuk mountain and other places that found releveance in that epic of ours❤❤❤❤

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

🙏❤️

[@KunalJain-cn4uv]

Amazing

[@chetan_naik]

They are standing like that after attack, looting and arson. Wonder how Hampi(Vijaynagar) must have looked in its prime. Please watch Fall of civilizations episode by historian Paul Cooper on Vijaynagar empire, he will take you to that era with his amazing narration backed by awesome research.

[@fighter_pilot9835]

Great video

[@ChancellorBeeHaw]

how’d the classics treat you along the trip? mileage live up to standard?

Go to ladakh and experience it

[@toxoreed9334]

btw when are you visiting ladakh?

[@seauryakumar]

Another great video. Just thought I'd get back to my original comment from the other day, that is a bull. A Gaur is much bigger than that, let me put it this way it's bigger than the American bison. And for Darcy, there are rocks 5 to 10 times bigger than that in the Himalayas, I've seen many around Reckong Peo. Let's see where you go next. Good journey

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Wow that is interesting to know 🙏

I am new here if you want more amazing places than go to Himalayas IDK if you visited Himalayas in past or not .

[@VasudevNagaraj]

Millions of years ago volcanic eruptions created these giant rocks... Thousands of years ago before British deforested most of India to build the railway network these were thick forests and home to monkeys. In Indian philosophy we treat all animals as gods. In the Ramayana period this area called Kishkinda was home to monkey army that helped Lord Rama cross over to SriLanka by building the bridge... This is the birth place of Lord Hanuman who was an ardent devotee of Lord Sri Ram... More details in Ramayana

[@karthikvs9635]

You will cry hearing how the city fell. It took 6 months for the muslim armies razing it to the ground.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

@@karthikvs9635 oh dear, that's a terrible shame 😔

Did you know, Hindus have 3 different heavens. So if you found Hampi to be a paradise let me tell you there are multiple paradises in India in many different flavours ..... You just have to explore more.
