This 3 week journey lead us up high through India's Himalayas. We rented bikes in Manali and drove the Trans Himalayan Highway to Leh, then summited Khardung La (The world's highest motorable road) and headed east to Srinagar near the Pakistan border before returning to Manali.

I did it 17 years ago.... LOVE IT!!!!! Thanks for sharing!
+Zohar Lindenbaum why not do it again :)
+cocoarecords Ha! Well, just got back for India a few days ago. Did a mini version with a scooter in Goa ;)
17 year ago this..trip is 100 time more harder then now
I can't believe this is india. Indeed the incredible India!!! Always wish to go there!
Ken William India will welcome you with open arms..You are most welcome !
You're welcome mate!
the thing is man no 1 shows the beautiful part of india every focuses on the poverty & underdeveloped infrastructure
It's Nepal right?
Elijah Lacour didnt yousee the indian flag in the video?
I don't know about you guys, but I felt a little more alive after seeing this.
Exact opposite for me.
Harshit Sadhwani this is a very costly trip for an Indian too.
Total cost of this trip is around 45-50k for renting and staying charges .....but if u have Ur own bikes it will cost u 15-20k hardly u will have to save Ur 2-3 year of savings

The reason I’m here is Royal Enfield. ❤️😍😍
Yeah, whose shock absorber and tires fall flat right?
@@sanmechrocker I think those that claim to love Royal Enfield, probably never rode a motorcycle or never rode anything but a RE. Looking at these 2 bikes was like looking at my 1970 Honda SL that I had back in 1977 and STILL, not as good. They are just old technology, underpowered with a very inferior suspension, especially for a trip like this. In the end though, better a RE than nothing.
@@scottbaxter2682 dude its the feeling of the bike..by specs obvio we indians know bullet isnt even really good
it has oil leakage and many more
its just the feeling u just feel like a king also with that thump thats all
my grandfather's friend still owns his 1960s enfield even though it has thousands of problems
India is great brother. Namaste. 😊
hero without a cape
ನಮಸ್ಕಾರಗಳು 🙏 namaskara
amazing guys, loved every bit of it.
India is an amazing country, an experience you'll never forget. You'll have a 100 stories to tell, once you visit this place.
indeed it is
Dalai lama is an honored guest of India, he is always welcome.
Recently did this route, always good to see from other people's perspective.

@Emery Ryan instablaster ;)
Literally one of the best videos I have seen. I did a 2 month 8000km motorcycle-camping trip through Australia, a large chunk of the trip being in the outback and it changed my life. your set-ups with the tarps etc and the treacherous road surfaces I could really relate to, this is what life is all about i literally smiled from beginning to end. I loved the typically British race to the top! great stuff boys. I am planning an India motorcycle trip next year, can't wait!
+tommyjordan1988 Thanks bud!
So are u in india now ?
oh my god this is amazing!!! i wish i could meet you guys and travel with youuuu
U must come to india
You must come and discover it i also do planning for it as a solo travellers
Solo travelers join with me next trip
came here for the Royal Enfields
Adam Haynes not a great plan
theres a specific way of riding it...if you dont ride it the way it has to be riden you'll have to have cash for maintainace after its breakdown xD
Motherland 🇮🇳
i love the spirit of adventure that you guys had kept alive. and i am very happy to see that you guys actually met the dalai lama on the way.. which is very lucky... best wishes..
from tibetan friend..
the royal enfield roar is enough to pump me up for an awesome journey!
Bro are u alive
Watched this for a hundred times and never tired hope someday I'm gonna be doing this. Maybe 2020 & beyond
2020 is a shit year
Please do , you'll see wonders like no other
Have you ever gotten around to doing this?
I am a Indian college student, the adventure which you have done here, we dream of doing this in our country But this need so much courage to do. After watching your Video, i will definitely try this once in my life. Thanks mate for the awesome adventure video. cheers !!
Shashank Tripathi you will be surprised once you done it.
It doesn't require more courage then going out of home at night.
Trust me you will overcome every fear once you do it. A total new person ready to challenge world.
@Aman yes bro why what happened?
@Aman are you alright?
that y we called "Incredible India".......................................yahooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
i myself have watched this video over 10times now and i keep coming back to watch this edit again and again :) i am from south india !! this is on of the best videos on your channel :D
Bro found u'r 2 years before comment in 2018 ....ur subscriber from Bangalore...and yes editing is so cool.....
Indeed!
Whoever found the 50 rs. Make sure you leave more than that there and so on, let this trend alive for forever.
Omg such an amazing inspiration. You guys were like main characters in the movie "motorcycle diary" and Indian people are amazing humans! Really appreciate for this video
I did this trip in summer 2015. It is not as easy as it looks. I went from Manali to KhardungLa via Leh. Altitude wears you down for a couple of days but you get used to it (do not underestimate it). Take it easy and the roads are so bumpy in some places that your back, spine and all bones in your body just wants to cry but in the end you are rewarded by an amazing adventure that will change your life.
How many days?
Anyone want to watch me do a similar video in Bolivia?? Any tips or suggestions that can help Doove and me with getting bikes in South America would be greatly appreciated!
Hi5!
In which month you visited?
Hi friend !! you want to rotate the highway of death in bolivia? I had plans to run this road ... But india is calling me .. (laughs) ... will hardly be able to rent bikes in south america ... I'm from Brazil ... To get the bikes, or you make friendships, or negotiate the purchase and sale. If I can help in something, I'm here !!
I found your 50 bucks XD HAHAHA
Just look for a dual sport bike with fuel injection like honda CRF 250L or Yamaha WR 250R
Manvendra Sengar Those were my motivation to hit the roads!
Have seen this video atleast 10 times. Still don't get enough of it. Btw this is 11th now.
Great video, wish I had the youthfulness of you two still, though I would love to do the ride.
Then Rediscover yourself in India , you don't wanna have regerets when you turn even older , go and have some adventure of life👍
Love to you grandpa. After hearing from you, I think I should enjoy my life. I'm 22.

Hrishabh Divya usually u will find these spots at every 10-15 kilometre .....and u can also take contact no from city where u start ur journey they will help in any need
We did it in 2002 and 2005 by car we 7 friends. We slided at rohtang way above others are doing..on huge huge chuck of snow cliff. We ran out of water in radiator and went hike to get snow melted it and started our car. We got broken axle at 17000 ft and stuck there for hours... We nearly fell into river near pang and saved by a truck and in morning it helped started our vehicle by pulling though chains....we played volleyball in sand dunes... I ran 100 mt on world highest motrable road and played football with kids on leh skating ground... We cried we yelled..we laughed....we did it all and that too 15 years back when we were just 16-22 year old :p
This video is like one of those movies, that you remember by the name and keep coming back to watch it again again. It's a pure delight to watch this. ❤️
I just can't get tired of watching this video, Carlos Costa inspired me to make a trip a few months ago, just by myself in my bike, from Mexico to Chicago across the route 66, next day running the marathon, next day riding back home, 15 day trip, riding all day long 😁
Hey Carlos, what a great tour! This is on our bucket list is well! Thanks for sharing! Great Job! Merry Christmas Phil
+THE SUNNYSIDE Thank you Phil!
+THE SUNNYSIDE
I am an Indian, and we welcome anyone who wants to visit our beautiful places like those in Himalayas
Sunny shah abe chup chutiye
dont add it in a bucket list... just pack your bags and leave... 😜
Do you want to go there because I need a partner with me I'm planning
The video that made me learn to ride a motorcycle at the age of 27, made me do solo trips, made me own a Royal Enfield and gave me wonderful memories . I can't thank you enough, for words are not enough. Beautifully made, what makes the video stand out is the soulful back ground music. Thank you Carlos, do come back!
Royal Enfields are like India's Harley. Awesome bikes.
Ghanta awesome shock absorbers directly crack hogaye.
what could be the worst scenario that it
@Yellow Color 😂 bhai Harley Harley he
Bas ek issue he Harley mein jo India me sell hoti he breaks kabhi bhi fail hote he
@@casualgamer4787 Harley's aren't reliable anymore , it's engine might give up at that height even the Americans doesn't trust HD
Met some Italians in Peru who were riding Royal Enfield, they had their bikes shipped in from Italy. The stated how much the love the Indian Royal Enfield bikes.
@@casualgamer4787 harleys can't be ridden at high altitudes, royal Enfields can...checkmate
Incredible India indeed❤️❤️🇮🇳
Why pakistani flag broh
bhai remove pakistani flag

Admit it or not Indians are the most kind and helpful people in the world..
My life just sucks.
+Gaurav Tayade guese what you have company owning a 500 but still no time to make this
+Gaurav Tayade what you had seen just a bit of real happened.
Good look getting a month or two off from work. You'll come back home and be unemployed
Yeah. Sure. You just spoke my mind.
You got most like🤣🤣
I'm so jealous. You guys are awesome. I wish I could live your life someday.
we indians are not so bad as the rest of the world thinks.. we actually help other people... xD
Yudhajeet Kalita mate, a lot of the world loves Indians... the problem is the taking of valuable work in each country by illegally working Indians..
other than that everybody loves you guys... well, I love you guys... ❤❤😘
yep i can do nothing about it.. sorry brother
Yudhajeet Kalita haha I know my man, just keep being the legend you are!
the men who learn endurance , are they who call the whole world brother. "-cheers mate
fattymallen its nothing personal from india side buddy even indians do not like leaving their home ,parents, country, culture and relatives behind.
It's just competition and lack of opportunities in india.
But hay indians also pay taxes where they work and work for the betterment for other country too you know indian goverment do not work on a child for 15 years just to see him go abroad india needs talent too.
maybe those who get offended by others getting job should work on themself more.
No offense.
defiantly going to try find that hidden note when i do this!
magnifica INDIA .......
Pleas do visit
9 years on and still the benchmark for ladakh roadtrip videos !
So cool!
But I'd say , it's much more cooler in real life , India is not like what you see in the media ,
India is a place of ups and downs , a whole different experience of life
what a incredible trip. That blows my head away. ;)

Otti Rider czcams.com/video/ZQnDpCjtSfE/video.html🇮🇳🙏
That was fucking awesome! Bud, you've just inspired me to do something just as amazing. Shout out from Toronto Canada!
the best part is they found weed in the middle of the road . haha
yh haha TAKE IT
chin Smart common in india????
dipesh prasai only in those places where babas live..
nah weed is really common. Even in cities...
get it at a tea shop..or someplace the tea stall owner might know
These boys are having the time of their life 😁😁
I've never been there. But you sir have proved there is heaven up in Kashmir! On top of the world !
बगड़ बिल्ला Laddakh is inside Kashmir
Ladakh is not in Kashmir it's in Jammu and Ladakh is 3/4 of J&K while Kashmir is 1/4. Kashmir valley is the hostile region which is like 1/10 of J&K
rajat Abhale ladakh IS in ladakh not jammu u dumb.
Ruksar Sofi You dumb fuck Ladhak is in J&K
Its sad that even Indians aren't getting this right. Jammu is the southern border of J&K, Kashmir is a valley in western J&K bordering Pakistan and Ladakh is in eastern J&K bordering China. Jammu and Kashmir is just the name of the state, that all of these separate regions are a part of. The places in the video are mostly in Himachal and Ladakh. Jispa is in Himachal, Pang is in Ladakh and Leh is the capital of Ladakh district, while Srinagar and Jammu are the summer and winter capitals of the state of Jammu and Kashmir. I hope this helps at least one person understand the geography.
Life's not meant to be lived in one place
5:48 also you visited the highest motor workshop in the world :P
AmaZing video man :)
Yash Sharma Fitness my man Yash is here wuhuu!!
The thump,

Please do come back and discover our this land of wonders. ❤️
my home state himachal.. love this route. awsm video dude
Very cool! Never grow too old or get too comfortable to give up on adventure and love life. We are in our late 50s wife and I are living in Istanbul and driving a motorcycle and loving it. Not all who wander are lost! May God Bless you on your next journey!
This is a seriously underrated travel video! This deserves so many more views man!

I have seen this video many times, watching this again and again! @carlos, Thanks!
Came across this video a couple years ago and only watched a couple minutes. This time I gave it a fair shake and watched the whole thing. Totally worth it! Such a fun time. You'll be talking about this trip long into your 80's.
I love this vid, thanks for sharing, awesome experiences.

Tourism of India should advertise the bike tours from South Kochi to Northern Himalayas. This looks so much fun.
Oh, the youthful energy, the adventure, the passion, the dare-devilry...Even with the bare minimum equipment you guys captured it all
- What an absolutely awesome trip!
Thanks for coming to India :P Always welcome :P
Brilliant, amazing and so inspiring. Hope you guys come back soon and shoot a lot more of your awesome stuff. Cheers.
So amazing trip! It makes me wanna to go now, guys!

its was amazing bro,, superb u nailed himalayan roads :D hope u loved India!!
@carlos costa:
The same thing...that happened with us.
Flat tyres....same place just before pang in 2013.
and even the I can recall the mechanic..,,, who is working to get your bike sorted out.
The same guy have repaired our tyres too.... :)
I can recall every moment of my trip...after watching your video brother.
+Thirthankar Bose Awesome!
that may be their trap to earn money :D
Sir ur awasome ... lots of love from INDIA.
2:52 Never point a gun at someone even in jest, this is serious.
that's what i was thinking
What's the harm if there were no bullets in the gun?
Chris Coombes is absolutely right, even unloaded guns should never be pointed at someone.
because you will be careless for the next time .
That's freakin airgun dude chillout
IWANT TO GO FIND THAT NOTE NOW lol
same here...lol
DaCatMatt lol me too..

I saw your video in high school and i used to think when would i be able to go for such a trip. Now, almost 8-9 years later, i have been on similar trips. I want to thank you for inspiration. It was quite a difficult task to convince my family for this.
Thank you so much…
I'm seriously about to choose the Himalayas as my first backpacking destination, just because I want to find that note.
Great, GREAT report!
Thanks for sharing, did enjoy every minute.
I was there around the same time (did see also the Dalai Lama) and will be there again next year as a tourguide.
If I remember it next year, I will search for your hidden money under the stones. ;-)
Best wishes from the Netherlands.
Give me a call when you're here. I just had a trip to tsong gu Lake, Google it, and nathu la pass, and it would be great, to travel together. So long. :)
Carlos you're damn too good ..vibe is unreal.❤❤
Hey Carlos, I plan on going to Khardung La this coming May. This video just oozes awesomeness. Thank you for uploading this! Merry Christmas!
