I was there with my wife and i can not stop laughing remembering her being fallen from the bike and the many moments where she had to push the bike😂🤣😂🤣. Thank you for the video and giving flash back❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hahaha!!!! So funny, you guys sound like a lot of fun. Join us sometime!
I saw a couple's fall from bikes time and again I pulsar i guess in october2016... Dont tell me it was you brotherr,😂😂😂
I am from Nepal and i have driven through all those roads to upper mustang. But still feels happy to see my country and the credit goes to you guys for making such a beautiful video. Love from Nepal.
Was in Upper Mustang last October but walking. Just with my guide from 20 years earlier. What a magical place and it was one of the best travels i ever had. Thanks for sharing your journey! Greetings from the Netherlands. ❤
It has a special feeling about it - something indescribable. I can only imagine what it was like 20 years ago, seriously amazing. Thanks for the comment ❤️
Hello from Kenya!This is the BEST video i have seen this year so far,you are so inspiring .This is now real adventure,not having the best but using whats available to fulfill your dreams,Keep on sharing,Beautiful video!
Hey Jay - reporting here from Australia! Wow thank you! We put over a year of hard work into this tiny 30 min piece and glad that it could brighten up your day :)
Finest documentary I have ever seen so far. Mine personal experience been there for more than 6 times on motorbike and trust me all the time it's had been different taste , feel , experience. Hope u soon plan to visit again this beautiful place, much love and blessings from Nepal 🇳🇵. Take care, stay safe and strong coz it's Corona time.
Haha your name🤣🤣🤣👍👍

@@sagartamang0000dude, If someone ask you where is India then reply them it is between the egg balls of mine. 😂 😂 😂 😂
Haha
the mountains are rough and heartless but you learn the most important thing in life . Patience. you guys did really great .hats off
Haha! Absolutely. I’m one of the most impatient people ever x joinbikergirl
Royal Enfield... Thats crazy but you guys achieved something that made you guys smile. Proud pf you two.. Thats what Nepal is all about full of Adventures & Suprises... Nice video, thank you guys...
Loved your resilience, and in this day and age of so many soft people that is something. No-one ever undertook a trip like this and learned nothing. Great Doco.
Absolutely. It's easy to slip back into the comforts of the city. A lot of people have forgotten how tough life is without the systems we have. Thank you!
The planning was unmanaged but the thirst for the adventure and hard work you guys have done. I really love it. Love from nepal.
I love this documentation. All was so on point and literally enjoyed. Felt like I was witnessing all those with them.
Looking at your video reminded me of my teenage days like making an impulse plan without research. I miss those days at a time. I'm glad you guys had fun.
Travel. Experience. Learn.
😂 impulsiveness is the way to go! You end up with so many crazy stories. Highly encourage you to return to your formative mindset 😂😂
Amazing video. Many have driven the road to upper Mustang but none captured the views you guys did. Thank you loved it. After 10 years in the USA I don’t dare to ride in Nepal, can’t even imagine how I used to ride.
Thank youuu! You absolutely MUST come and ride Nepal - maybe with us sometime! It’s much easier on a suitable dirt bike for sure 😂
I did this trip on Royal Enfields with a group a few years ago, same route pretty much. We ended up at Muktinath Temple instead. Your video brings back great memories. It really helped, having a lot of dirt bike riding experience - with those rough hills, you gotta hit them with speed and keep the throttle on. It seems counterintuitive, but the RE's are actually quite competent bikes for off-road riding, they're surprisingly capable. But you've got to keep your speed up to have a hope of not falling off. Seeing you guys fall off brought a lot of memories back 😅
Best bike adventure documentary l've seen on CZcams so far, one of the most brutal condition and featuring a fellow female rider, absolutely inspirational! A trip in Nepal/Tibet went down on my bucket list for sure, big thank you for creating these great content, it really bugs me how little the views and sub you've got.
Thank you for the sweet comment! Hopefully more people will see after sometime and we can get more of our content out there 😋
Its not same now, and if you are prepared, and on good bike, you will for sure wont have to complain same, adventure, culture, scenes, thats not shown on this video. If u look back, you will remeber how great it was.
Check out Ollie Moto channel once!

Here I recommend you this
Totally worth it!!😊
Haha!! Pretty much. I’m much bigger on Instagram. New season coming out in December so hopefully my channel gets seen by more people!
Haha exactly !!
Same for me, great vlog by the way
Same !!
I understand what you guys were saying. Back in Dec 2019, I was on one of those heavy machines, up to Muktinath. My bike crashed because of my friend's fault. For three hours, I rode without my left foot rest, and then there was black ice. Fear does grip you, but then it is such a life changing experience after having conquered that fear.
Thank you for visiting my country
It's really great thing that other citizens talking about Our country NEPAL 🇳🇵 as i think My country 🇳🇵 isn't that big but it's really amazing for traveling ..
I don't need World Tour
I just want to visit each and every corner of my country 🇳🇵..
Proud to be nepali..🙏🙏
HOPE YOU WILL VISIT AGAIN
For sure will visit again, as soon as borders allow 😢. I want to go and explore the north west, there’s so many untouched places there. Nepal for sure a beautiful place!
I travelled on this part even before that road was black toped... it was fun though coz at least we knew the road and scenery was amazing. I wish you could have enjoyed a lot. Always look for friends who can group up for such adventure so it would be comparatively easier. I hope the hospitality provided to you by the people helped in healing all the suffering of the beautiful trip.
I live and work in Nepal as a motorcycle tour guide, this is the reason why is highly recommended to use the service of a experienced guide.. already 2 guys died falling off the Clif in the same way you almost did..no joke
I love it when foreigners find Nepali roads chaotic, yet they never have a major accident.
We all just vibe on the roads and it works out most of the time.
whatched this video the second time now. One of the most interesting and fascinating travel-movies ever. Congrats!
despite the red flags, you guys went ahead.... the only way to live and learn... awesome video and congratulations for making it that far!
Thanks Rocky! That's it, gotta just do it and laugh about it. I think it's way more interesting this way than having everything perfect!
Please keep making more motorcycle adventure videos. Super inspiring ...lots of love from Singapore!
Hey Sharky! We have a new series coming out soon - lots of work into this one. Stay tuned 😇
I love this documentary and i can say this is called life .They are living best life in this world. And i appreciated their confidence and they seem like very exuberant after reaching their goal. I feel envious to those guys after watching the video😌❤️. I can't live like this life whatever love it from (india)
Are you sure you can’t? You can easily get to the Himalaya in India, or even Nepal. You don’t need to stay in fancy hotels, you don’t need to have fancy things. The only thing that might be a problem is time. Most people can’t afford to take time off. But if you can, go and do it!
Nepal is always a life changing experience. Keep growing. Each time I go back I fly wherever possible. Flying is the way to go.
Wow this is so amazing! Firstly thank you for doing the trip.I could just feel the thrill through your video.Felt so sorry coz you chose the wrong bike.Gonna hit these road one day for sure. Hope to see you both in Nepal again!
Haha no need to feel sorry. It was all part of the adventure. Will let you know when we’re back for sure!
I am glad that I stumbled upon this video on YT. Thank you for visiting my country. You are always welcome to the Himalayas.
Thank you! Such a nice message. Nepal is amazing, thank you for having me.
You guys should have spend more time in pokhara...resting and appreciation the views of Himalayas and lake scenery...
That’s we called a full of adventures. Thank you guys for selecting our place. A lots of love to you guys. 🇳🇵 🇳🇵 🥰
How could you go mustang on heavy bike and loads of things packed in .
Salute
To you both🤜🏻🤛🏻
True riders 😎
All part of the adventure I guess 😅😅
OpenRoads 😱😱😱
That’s why vlog is titled “how NOT to” 😅
Oh my God!
You guys were so caught up with the roads, bikes, routes and time limits. I wish you had slowed down a little, relaxed and enjoyed the landscapes, the mountains, the culture and food.
I could feel what you had to go through in your trip. It is a thrill to watch this. And I am sorry that you had to experience such difficulties on road.
Hope you'll be back to enjoy!
He said it best, near the end; "...slow down and just appreciate the landscape..."
Yeh that is the only thing. Things go so fast when you’re in it on a bike. Travelers usually never have the time to stay longer which is sad!
Motorcycle off-road riding in Nepal is literally breaking yourself down and building back yourself up again. You achieve something depending on what you've gone throughout the journey. It's an A for ADVENTURE! 🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵
Absolutely! 🥳
i live in nepal and even i didn't knew nepal had such breathtaking places... thanks for the video.
Only few people can claim the throne to the upper mustang. And you guyz are the one. Lots of love from Nepal.. See u again in Nepal🇳🇵❤️❤️❤️
I love motorcycle and I was hiking in Nepal around some cities that they've been in, so, I can't say how much I liked this video!
It’s an amazing place. For sure you need to go back and bike it some day!!
Wow, these guyz brought the bike back home alive, amazing 😊😊
One of best documentary I have watched
Thank you Ren! 🙏
Now yt recommends this video ...love this video...stay safe..
feel your adventure , my experience with duke 390 refreshed, welcome again, love from Nepal
Glad to have you i Nepal !! 🇳🇵
Love From Nepal 💟
Such a wonderous docu-drama of a radical adventure. Thank You for putting this together. I think the joy of misery is a very odd and unknown feeling for many. In the military, we called a similar feeling "embrace the suck". Adventures like this build character and make one whole.
Absolutely. Haha embrace the suck ✅. In the end it’s up to us what we wanted to tolerate, and although it was tough, Nepal is phenomenal and beautiful so wasn’t that hard given the context.
Great video..loved it ..love from Nepal🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵
Never Give up And Keep Riding, Explore New Places, Greetings from the top of the World Nepal 🇳🇵🙏😊
Wew!! Hi from down under! 🐨🌈
You guys are alwaus welcome to our country. The people ypu met on the way were not surprised because you guus were riding royal enfield infact we have tradition of taking royal enfield to mustang and upper mustang. They were amazed to see beautiful people like you guys vlogging and stuff on the way which does not happen often.
Love Nepal. My favorite country
I think most people choose the river. We chose the river too, it’s fun.Well done you guys . This journey is incredibly scary. Hats off for you guys. 👊🏼
wrong bike, bloody oath mate.I am nepalese living in australia and happy to see you guys doing all this.And also i agree we might never the see the trek trail as you saw it.Thank you for showing it!
might be the best motorcycle documentary I have seen this year. great pictures, edited with love and exactly my style of an adventure!
Flo Payer wew! Glad you like it!
definitly have to go to this part of the world soon for a ride!
Andy enjoyed the whole journey 🙂 and Jess enjoyed the destination🙃.
“There’s 2 types of rider.1 whoz been down and the other who is going down”not my quote. Brilliant documentary
Thank you JZ! Also my initials 😉
Now that CZcams has started recommending this, soon enough you'll see million of views 'ere.
haha true that
Is it paid promotion!
Victory no it’s not. Potato
Lot’s of love from nepal 🇳🇵
Thank You!! I needed to watch this. I recently took ten weeks for Me And My Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 to ride around Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas, but on roads, in my tent and cabins. Nothing like what you did. The same adventure spirit is still there though. The leaving in the morning not knowing what the day will bring. I only dropped mine 3 times ;-) Before I even made it home the plan had formulated to sell Everything, house, car, down to where the only things I will own would be on my bike, and then disappear for two years. Now that I'm safe in my house which has a magic box on the wall that puts the temperature exactly where I want it, I'm getting scared. With every load to Goodwill and every eBay sale I ship out, I'm thinking what if at the last minute I wimp out and don't go through with it. That is such an easy slippery slope to fall down. I am finding that the fear of not following through with my dream is scarier than anything I encountered on the road. Your video was a great boost to my morale today. Thank you. And thank you for being brave enough to share not only your experiences but Your Fears.
A real challenge to travel those roads on street bike! To big a payload for the gear ratio! Needed knobby tires/trail bike! The Enfield did ok! The girl and the guide did great!
Hahaha absolutely to all of that.
Absolutely and with no doubt, one of the if not the best Moto Vlog I have ever had the pleasure of watching. Just for shits and giggles I am a 60 yr old Canadian with a lifetime of international motorcycling behind me. Congratulations on the effort
Well done and a great adventure. Thank s for sharing
Lots of love and support from Nepal
Love it! I’m searching for information to go to Mustang Valley by motorbike and found your video and channel. Amazing work and crazy adventure! Cheers.
Great ride guys; ridden a lot in India, Nepal, and Bhutan on my Enfields and covered 130,000 klms over the years...I recommend more of Nepal including the terai, North East Indian states including Nagaland and Mizoram, and of course Kashmir and Ladakh, Rajasthan, Goa, Tamil Nadu is fascinating also...hope to meet you one day, Mark Aus vagabond rider
I cannot find your India vid
Great video...totally understand what you guys gone through with those off road and that bike.
This is so good. Congratulations to both of you for a wonderful trip.
Nice.....
i did this route before, mostly solo. Glad to see such a wonderful docu done, there's definitely a shared feeling on the issues faced on the road :) I always like to think in the back of my mind, my adventure is someone's Tuesday on those roads :)
“My adventure is someone’s Tuesday” - Wow that is such a beautiful statement, I have to use it! It’s so true, and quite funny because some locals have posted on here and made fun of us 😂. It’s a beautiful route, crazy that’s what they look at every day:
Yeah you showed us the perfect example that theres no happiness without hard times
Well said , GREAT INTRODUCTION with riding in NEPAL..
You could atleast give credit to the guide. Anyways hope to see you again in Nepal 🇳🇵 Stay safe..
You are truly a soft hearted girls ever seen in my life ❤️❤️❤️
Tei ta. I feel sad for that guide. He was pushing the bike so hard and get hit by the stones from back tyre.
@@ShanSubedi absolutely
@@dipthakuri6256 thank u ❤️
Ùùùùìì
incredible trip, and from an aspiring film maker.... very well put together clip. Kudos to you you all.
Was recommended by CZcams . And really glad to know you guys visited us . 🙏🙏🙏 Thanks for your visit .❤️❤️❤️.lots of love from Nepal 🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵. NAMASTE 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
I'm from Nepal and i have been there on motorbikes (shittier than yours) fell down only twice, my only regret is that we didn't stay a day or two on lomanthang and explored those caves. we were pretty exhausted when we got there and just wanted to return at that point. We did went little further than lomanthang though, up to the actual country border. Unfortunately, we didn't film it so watching this video and recognizing some of the terrain mede me relive the moments. Thank you .
It’s beautiful up near the border - SO COLD! We take trips up there but on this journey, like you, we were so tired we stayed in Lo Manthang. Caves are amazing though, unforgettable 🙂
That was a pretty hardcore trip. Glad you both made it through in one piece. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger!
Absolutely. Plus it’s all about the adventure, whatever you take and wherever you go!
Really excellent....well done you guys.....
Thanks Brian! Appreciate the message ☺️
And You are again welcome to nepal...whennever you want 😇
One of my favorite countries. I’ll be back for sure 💪
This was a really cool video ... Amazing experience felt like a adventure movie... Keep sharing you guys are awesome 👍
Woop! Thanks for the support 🙌
You guys enjoyed ur fullest mate...
Great video Jessica! See you again in Nepal 🇳🇵
See you this year hopefully!
seeing that 220F i guessed it was city motorbike..
@@Travel_With_Monsoon Haha nop bhai, But for her second trip, we provided her a two fresh brand new Royal Enfield Himalayan for her Upper Mustang trip! Its been great to work with Jessica :)
Wrong bike selected
All the bad chioces turned into a lifetime memory. Cant wait to go back to Nepal and ride my baby to these holy terrains. Miss me Nepal so much. huhuhuhu
Can’t wait too. Hopefully these borders open 🥵🥵
Wonderful experience,thanks for sharing.JHB-SA
Love from Nepal 🇳🇵
Beautiful people. Beautiful country. Thank you for always welcoming me!
Respect to you both and yes, fife changing experience. Cheers and enjoy
Cheers John!
Looks wild! LOL......Great riding skills and trail bikes got everyone through the trip in one piece!! :)
Thank you so much for visiting #Nepal🇳🇵🇳🇵
Lots of love from nepal and the door will be always open for you
The essence of Adventure riding. 👍😊
That's it yewwww!
So nice docu......u guys should keeping making them whenever u get the chance...however, you guys had the most appropriate bikes but they had lower displacement and torque. Should have taken bullet 500 or himalayan 415.
We have another series coming out next year in India. Check @joinbikergirl on Instagram for more details
Great video! Was nice to meet you guys in Ghami and so cool to get a glimpse of the whole trip. Can't believe you made it on those bikes!
Thank you! Haha it's crazy in hindsight. What an intense trip. Hope you enjoyed the rest of your time there!
Wat a coincidence !! We also lost the breeze and did that river crossing with couple of fall! 😂😂 Tht was an amazing experience... vivid memory still on. This riding is a worth of experience!! 👍👌
Hahaha!!! Yes! So funny. Those are the experiences that are most memorable. Wouldn’t change a thing
Wow, I've done some tough things but you beat it with this trip, you have reminded me of tougher times, a good thing, for now I am more relaxed about where I am, this was for just 2 weeks though, plan better next time, as I feel you will venture again x
awesome video Jessica,hope to get there one day,its on my bucket list,on a Himilayan tho.
Thanks Glen! It’s an epic place to go, hope you do!
All the best for coming adventures ahead. Cheers! SUBSCRIBED!!!
Lets take a moment to appreciate that they are still replying comments !
Whoop! Yep we’re still here 😁😁😁
Even to my smartass comment. For that, I’ll subscribe.
Muitos parabéns pela dura experiência, fantástica a tua aventura, não é para todos. Rui Caipira de Portugal
You are one tough cookie, cheers. Great video.
Thank you!
Lot’s of love from Nepal🇳🇵 🥰🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵
What can I say. Well. Done ! Legends !
Ohh the ending really hit me hard...a life changing trip that shattered you and mend you at the same time🤘
Yeah it really did break me and build me back up - that’s the stuff I live for!
Would love to see you guys back again!
always stay on the mountain side! 👍👍👍🇳🇵
We took the same route and had the same bikes and we faced the same difficulties. Nepal broke us because we didn't plan. It was an amazing trip but we had to leave it incomplete.
Haha no way did it. I'm glad you understand our pain - what part of it didn't you finish?
It took so many days for you to reach there. We Nepalese used to get there around 3 days very comfortably. Enfield is very heavy bike not good for off roads. If you come to Nepal next time for a ride. we can help to you manage your trip... Respect and love from Nepal...
Thanks Suden. Yeah we like to visit a lot of places along the way and the roads were being built so there were a lot of delays and closures. This type of bike goes nowhere fast offroad haha!
@@OpenRoads I have seen lot of Indians tourist come with Royal Enfield and other streets bikes. Which are so heavy that if we feel down it gonna hurt more. And it's not easy to pick it up when you are alone. I was there before 2 years back. Planning to have a ride after this rainy season.
Yeah it’s funny the bikes that people take. I think it’s more enjoyable on a dirt bike. Good luck and have fun!
Love from Kathmandu Nepal 💖💖💙🙏
u used bikes not suited for terrain but that makes challange even bigger, great video, great trip.
Thank you, it was certainly an adventure 😂
Nice one...
Thanks 🙏
