Thanks for the video. I am surprised it´s such a barren country. Almost nothing grows there. I wonder why?
@tysoncable9 жыл бұрын
its extremely dry mate. its also over 3,000m high which means plant life thins out. in winter its also too cold and any green dies. Added to that, most of the water comes from the southern side, hits the himalayas and dumps its rain on the southern side. what you get is a cold desert look. in summer theres green everywhere, so ive been told, if you go then they'll be growing crops around the villages. and the valleys are nice and green with grasses and flowers.

tyson cable Thanks for the answer. I was asking because in my own country, Sweden, it gets down to -40 in the winter in the north but it grows everywhere (except when it´s all covered by snow of course) but it´s at the most 2000m high on the summits.I was thinking it was because of erosion due to people chopped down the trees but then it is because the rains fall on the southern part

Tyson. Nice journal. I've been to this part of Nepal 3 times before when we had to trek it all the way back then. I'm going to India next year and plan to ride a KLR650 up to this region and on to Mt Kalish in Tibet after. What was the fuel situation like on the road to Kagbeni? Any problems with supply? Did you have to pack spare fuel with you? Was the handle bar width a problem on the narrow bridges. Thanks for any help!
@tysoncable9 жыл бұрын
hey mate, the state of fuel in nepal isnt great in quality generally. you can buy the last pumped fuel from beni right next to the bus stop area. after that you can buy fuel from any homestay or corner stores in the villages. in winter its also available, every other time of year, its going to be more fresh and abundant. i think i paid about 2USD a litre from memory. i recommend that you take a simple fuel filter funnel (the one that removes water and debris automatically) and just fill up from the petrol available along the way. village petrol comes in 1-2 litre plastic bottles. if you're running on injectors you might feel worried about them, i know i was, so perhaps pack an injector cleaner too? otherwise without the funnel and injector cleaner, i reckon you're going to be just fine.

***** Yes there is petrol pump just 2km after Beni, after that no fuel station at all. but you can get loose petrol in Jomsom, Ghasa, Kagbeni, Muktinath even in Lo-Manthang, but price will be higher. Remember after Muktinath it will be restricted region so you must buy a special permit worth of 500USD(for 10 days after that 50$ every day) and that to you can't buy this permit directly(Only a registered Travel company/Agent can purchase it for you). Apart from that you need ACAP and TIMS permit(you can get these easily at Nepal tourism office).

Czepinger La you seem overly judgmental about what the locals felt. i can tell you without any distortion or lie that these locals didn't mind one bit. perhaps you should take a moment to ask more questions next time, simple ones like, "hey, how did the locals feel about riding through their village? did they mind?" or "being there in winter is not normal, was there many people there? what did they think about you being there on motorcycle?" Good questions, thanks for asking.
@JuntaJanardhan8 жыл бұрын
Some pretty shitty riding here on display. Not in terms of speed, but safety. It's one thing to ride a light, unloaded dirt bike with a friend or two on dirt roads or trails. It's another thing altogether to race a fully loaded bike along dangerous public roads in a foreign country with no backup or support. If you don't even have the basic sense to slow down on blind curves for possible oncoming traffic, then it's pure, dumb luck that kept you alive on this trip. Not to mention the first rule of adventuring solo: don't ride a bike that you can't pick up by yourself if it falls.
@tysoncable8 жыл бұрын
Janta Janardhan do you think riding across the world was pure dumb luck? Its one thing to write about something and another to actually do it. What you see as risk taking is thoroughly learnt disciplined riding. I'll explain more if you'd like...
@JuntaJanardhan8 жыл бұрын
I may not have gone around the world, but I have ridden this same path to Jomson and on to Muktinath, all the way from Mumbai and back. It's among the toughest public roads (path is more like it) I've encountered, and your method is not a sensible way to go around tackling this route. I think you realized this yourself after a while, since as per your blog, you slowed down considerably further up the trail. Not to mention the fact that you ended up losing some important pieces of luggage, as well as breaking your steering damper. If that didn't indicate you were going too fast for the road, I don't know what does. It's one thing when you're taking part in the Dakar or TT rally, and all your so-called "disciplined training" is put to the test in a professional competition, away from regular traffic. It's another thing altogether when you attempt the same on a public road, putting other people in danger as well. Yes, I'd love to hear your explanation on how your emergency stop at 1:43 where you completely failed to see the oncoming truck around a blind curve constitutes "disciplined riding". I'm also really interested in knowing how your learning would have helped lift up your too-heavy bike on your own without the assistance of a kind stranger. What if no one had come along for hours on end? Would you have untied the luggage, straightened the bike, and then tied it back on? Doesn't sound very well-planned or trained to me.
@tysoncable8 жыл бұрын
You make far too many assumptions in your comments. Let me round out answers to things you should have paid more attention to: (1) the KTM enduro r 690 is an offroad sports bike and is more than capable of easily riding the trail (2) the tires being essential were pirelli scorpion rallys ideal for the trails (3) my experience is off road based primarily (4) i did not hit the car and was able to sufficiently stop in time (5) the motorcycle was not overladden, in fact it was lightly packed and can be lifted individually even at full weight (6) the assistance given to lift was provided without solicitation from a rider coming the other way (7) a traveller takes help when they can get it (8) the loss of equipment along the way came from riding too hard so the elastic straps used snapped but in no way do I feel that this was regrettable (9) disciplined training comes from years of riding and nearly a year of constantly riding internationally which greatly enhances road awareness, bike behaviour, personal skills, risk assessments, general decision making etc (10) your comments about planning are more or less accurate, I do not extensively plan any of my adventures as is the travellers way but i do plan for main problems (11) your comments about training are arrogant but i think you know this... You're quite suffocating in your safety critical comments. Perhaps you've seen some horrendous accidents and know that losing your life on the road is just a blink of the eye away. You're not the only one who knows that. The remoteness of the ride makes it particularly dangerous. While you can have an opinion, you would do better to ask important questions that test your assumptions before voicing them strongly. In a discussion you'll sound more open to understanding the behaviours, character and decisions making processes of the person you're observing. What I'd like to you consider is whether living should be foundationed in conservatism and safety. Risks need to be taken in all facets of life. Relationships, business, travelling, motorcycling, whatever...If you want to live a careful life going slowly at your own pace then do that. Just dont let me how I should be living mine or you'll be critiqued back abruptly.
@JuntaJanardhan8 жыл бұрын
1-3: I never doubted the capabilities of the bike or its tyres. I was only question your decision to ride along at that breakneck speed. Your bike was literally feet away from plunging over the side, in which case it would have been LITERALLY breakneck. 4: Yes, you were able to stop in time. However, it was a close call by any standards. If the driver opposite had been distracted or incompetent, the results could have been very different. Which is why you have the old saying: "It takes 2 idiots to make an accident". 5: The bike did seem overladen by my experience. During my trip to Muktinath, I just had 1 backpack that carried the essentials, and left most of my luggage in a hotel at Pokhara for a nominal fee. Turned out to be a great decision when it came time to pick up my bike from the ground - which happened often in the rivers and streams around Jomsom. 6: During my trip, I would not see any other vehicles for up to an hour at a time. Therefore, I assumed it took a while for the other rider to show up. If you were indeed able to pick up your bike by yourself, good for you. 7: Yes, we're always glad for the help, and extend the same courtesy to others we see in need. However, EXPECTING someone to come along and help in case of an emergency is just poor planning. 8: Your blog (newsletter) certainly seemed to convey otherwise. If I recall, you were actually quite relieved when that couple gave you their sleeping bag \ tent, as it got you out of a pickle. Were you planning on someone's generosity to replace your lost baggage? If so, please see point #7. 9-10: I agree with this. 11: If I seem arrogant, it's only because I've never had an accident after extensive touring across several years in the Himalayas. That comes from not taking unnecessary risks on public mountain roads. Fast offroading is strictly for deserted trails. Regarding your comments about the discussion, the nature of the internet (and KZbin comments) makes this difficult. My original intent was to just leave my thoughts on this video. Had I known it would lead to this long a discussion, I would have stayed well away from that "COMMENT" button. At the end of the day, risk is a relative thing. I have been called crazy for wanting to go around India on a bike. Your riding in the first few minutes (until your bike fell and your common sense returned) seemed crazy to me, but apparently perfectly fine to you. Either way, the WHOLE PURPOSE of the KZbin comment section is to let people know what they think of your video. I'm perfectly entitled to let you know you're riding your bike all wrong, and you're perfectly entitled to respond as you see fit. We could go on and on about this, but it'll serve no purpose. This time could have been better spent riding or wrenching my bike, so I guess it's time to and things here. All the best for your further travels. I hope your bag of experience fills up before your bag of luck runs out.
