  • In this episode, I am riding the new Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 to Jaisalmer, in the desert state of India: Rajasthan. On the way, I quickly test the topspeed of the pre-production bike, and it easily hits 140. I might have been able to push it a bit further, but it would be better to do this on a highway where it's legal to ride fast, such as one in Germany!

      It's way more complex than people think it is, within the same state the culture can be entirely different and the people and the geography too. For example take the state Rajasthan where Jaisalmer city (Golden City) is , it is entirely different from the other cities like Udaipur (white city), Jodhpur (Blue City), Jaipur (Pink city)

I am not calling him conversationalist because of the english speaking though(it's just another language), but the way he asked your name back and then pronounced it correctly is what made me say so. . Bdw, Rajasthani people are the most welcoming people amongst the Indians and are most open to other cultures. so probably they are the most welcoming on earth too, their soul song literally means "Welcome to our country". This is also reflected in their linguistic skill, I find from my practical experience that they are highly adept at picking up other languages and nuances of other cultures.

    Hi Noraly,an advice from one rider to another, when you ride in India 🇮🇳, especially through towns and cities, please put the Google Maps in Car or4 wheels routes. That way you might get some better and less scary roads which are not a maze game.😊😊😊

    I’ve loved every adventure that you’ve taken us on, but I’m enjoying your Indian adventures the most. My gosh, I’ve never even imagined such beautiful scenery, and the architecture is absolutely amazing. Of course, the greatest treasure anywhere is its people, and the Indian people seem so full of the love of life and their fellow man. This lets me know that there is hope for humanity.

    Noraly never fails to surprise her viewers with her choice of ride destinations. But the Rat Temple for one was unique and one is not surprised to find her visiting it. We know by now that she does her research quite well. Its very entertaining to watch her navigate through the narrow by-lanes of Jaisalmer and to hear her interact with the locals. Seems like Noraly is fully enjoying the desert towns and their culture. From high altitude desert of Ladakh to the sandy plains of Thar , the journey with Itchy Boots has been amazingly diverse and lively. And at the end of each vlog one’s mind is tickled by the thought - what next ? Film-maker par excellence , ride on 👍

      Often wonder how she does it. I think what could she possibly do next to keep the train rolling full steam ahead, entertaining, teaching, creating, and raising the bar, but she does it. Sometimes I hope she isn't stressing herself to satisfy us. Her content reminds me a bit of a marathon race. So many competitors (YT vloggers) and Noraly is leading the pack with everyone else trying their best to catch her but can't. Peace!

    Really the highlight of this video is Jaisalmer and its fort and homes, not going "topspeed". I feel that the title should reflect that :) It is such an amazing place. I visited Jaisalmer and stayed in the fort back in 1990. It seemed like a sleepy town then, not so commercial and crowded. I do remember people were starting to get satellite dishes so you'd see them all over. The world was starting to change. Amazing to be taken back there after all these years. A truly special place.

And I like IB a lot, however I get so sick of the obsequious comments from people who don’t ride themselves and just want to gush over the fact that a woman is doing this. For what it’s worth I’ve known a few female riders who did it without eye liner, nail polish and the admiration of others. They did it for the buzz, the sheer fookoffness of an unpredictable life. Just for a moment imagine a great adventure…without documenting it. Now that’s something. That’s pure.
