Welcome to my channel guys!
If you like motorcycle adventure mixed with vlogging, you came to the right place!
I will be showing you the beauty of this planet from a different angle, the one of a motorcycle rider with a GoPro camera.
I started the channel a little too late, as I started only to properly document the ride from Pakistan Onwards (at least for CZcams purpose) but I will be posting new videos on a regular basis, at least twice a week.

Donât think I will ever see such diversity with landscapes within a couple of hundred kilometers, anywhere else on the planet!! Not much interaction in this vlog guys, I went for great scenes instead.... Ladakh is OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!!
Indeed! have fun bro đâ€ïž
Leh is a high altitude desert....If while coming back u take the Srinagar route, you will notice post Kargil it turns greeen again. Its the mountains that block the rain clouds to access the Leh, Spiti Region
Way to heaven â€
You must try cycling on these roads. Last year i tried running but had to abandon near sarchu due to injury. The landscapes are magical but takes a lot out of you. I love moore plains though, do try to see Lake Tsomoriri and tsokar (nearby Moore plains, you may have to obtain pass for it) other than pangong if you plan to come back same route back to manali.
Well come to leh
Kudos! to Indian army,engineers,and govt for preserving such places as well as making first class roads in one of the most isolated parts of india
Specially BRO
Did you guys see the shit roads in Pakistan đ€Ł
đŻ
even they need the road to use so why wont they?
@@tonystark2542 i have a whole different context in this cmnt
Is it a freaking moonland or what, a barren land without trees and full of adventure bikers and highest roads ever seen...it's crazy man. What a breathtaking landscape, India is really a mysterious place with so many surprises...WOW. Great ride Frenchy!!
Its a cold mountainous desert.
a fun fact: this whole area was under water once
Come in winters you will see a complete different side of it...at that time only pro riders dare to come to these places and for some times army close off some specific passes
@@babumoshai5700 who told you that
@@babumoshai5700 that was Kashmir valley not ladakh, which is way higher, that every water in there will fall down from there towards lower Kashmir or jammu side
Not only LADAKH but whole INDIA is out of this world....Enjoy every bit of it mate
Vo sirf Kam kar rahe hei aur Garam masala uske pas nhi hei bhai
But mainland india đźđł is super dirty and lots of selfie mobs
yes brother
I've been 14,000 ft up on Pike's Peak in Colorado, but 17,000?! That's unreal! It's cool that Indian bros get together, and take motorcycle trips away from the craziness of the big cities. Keep the great vids coming! Congrats on 50,000 subs!
And this is just the plateaus. Imagine the peaks.
@@clarion7018 I learned long ago that I wasn't meant to be climbing things lol
My highest was 19000ft + in India...
@@mobjectivems7652 where ?
@@NS-re5fn probably umling la pass, near the india-tibet border
5:50 Free Tibet at the background đđ„đ„
Incredible India.... The india which foreign media will never show because of their anti India propaganda. I think India has the potential to be one of the top touristic destination in the world. But now through power of social media people like Pierre are spreading awareness about India that India is not about only slums . India has lot to offer .India has deserts, beaches, greenery, rivers,dense forest,hill mountain, magnificent landscapes,cultural heritage,lakes and what not.
Yes but mainstream India is . . .
@@clarion7018 this is mainstream india . maybe stop watching propagandas.
@@clarion7018 typical westerner
@@clarion7018 See The base.......Forget the rest !
India needs to learn tourist etiquette...
Kudos to BRO for maintaining and making these roads..
I am pretty sure Pierre is going to have a long term Indian visa say for around 10 years. He fell in love with India đđ.
Cheers bro .
Haha let's see Rohit, 5 months was very very hard to get already đ will have to go to Bangladesh to get a new one by the end of next month đ
Interesting how Saleha's bike reads 'Mahakal'. It is one of the names of Lord Shiva, literally translating to 'The Great Time'.
Haha she probably does not even know about that, will let her know ;)
Travelled from Shimla to Leh via Manali, Rohtang, Keylong, darcha, sarchu, thang ka Pang, Tang Lang la in 2009, at the age of 60. On the way back enjoyed trecking from Rohtang pass to Dashaur lake and from there to Marhi. It was a memorable tour. While returning from Leh was fortunate to have had touched the water of sacred river Sindh.
I miss Rohtang Pass đ„Č
Roads especially after 12:30 are unreal. Seriously BRO has done some serious work. Love it. â„
Some of the views were like dreams, they were unreal! Have to admit Himalayas is a gift by mother Nature to us, those iridescent colours, surreal landscapes, I felt tranquil and purified. Can only feel the aura sitting here watching your videos, you people riding there must be in a bliss. God bless you both! â€ïž
PS. Congratulations on 50k Pierre! You deserve it.
I am very much amazed to see that BRO (Border Road Organization) had made very beautiful roads across Ladakh. It's good for tourists and also for the armed forces too. Everyone welcome to India along with Frenchy. Have a great journey brother.
I can only say two word's - INCREDIBLE INDIA â€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž
Nepal is waiting for you sir! đłđ”đłđ”
Congrats frenchy for 50K subs wish you a very happy journey. I think you are the one of the foreign vlogger who captures and shows the unbelieable and insane beauty of India. Ram Ram
So nice of you man :) Thanks for the support !! Ram Ram
@@frenchyvlogs Jai shree Ram đ€©.
Incredible Himachal
Incredible India.
From the easternmost place of France to India the walkable distance is 6845km approx. From Kanyakumari to Khorkundus which is 3760km approx. that should give you an idea of how big India really is.
but the resources::population ratio that matters.
@@clarion7018 Yeah, definitely it does. 80 crore approx is cap for India. We are stretching the resources too far at this point.
Bonjour Pierre⊠Well as always i enjoyed your vlog and your conversations with locals and other riders!!! Always so humbleđ€đŒ so stay hydrated and save journey! You would soon adapt to the altitude no worriesâš
Mam, Namaste... If u are not from india ... Please come and enjoy the tourism of india. And please let the world know what india offers them. đ
@@rahulgarnayak9400 namaste ji.. i grew up in india.. aur main ladakh, Himachal pradesh aur Uttrakhand main rahi hun.. so i know how beautiful and incredible India really is!!!! :) jai Bharat
@@paldrontrewa, Good to hear that mam. i thought of promoting india tourism. Neways,Jai hind mam. đ
This is incredable india đźđłâ„ïž..i love my india â„ïžâ„ïžđ
My highest point with Bike was Gurudongmar Lake (Sikkim).. it was 17800ft. Frenchy if you visit East must visit Sikkim it's too beautiful.. Head to Lachen, Lachung, Gurudongmar Lake, Nathula.. but it's too much cold weather there.
It is cold desert. Kargil has the highest glacier in the world. Temperature over there drops below -40 degrees C during winters. India is a land of extremes in every single way- nature, culture and socioeconomically.
it's actually Dras, near Kargil. It is the second most coldest inhabited place on earth.
Ladakh road trip is something to be experience atleast once in life time. Amazing video.
That magnificent dark blue sky đ
Wow I fid not notice that
Heaven on earth đ and that water colour always attracts everybody and different colrs of mountains you can only find in Leh Ladakh.. best feeling man .. upcoming Attraction points Pangong Lake, Khardungla and Nubra velley will definitly makes you feel more good nd wonderful experience of your whole life .. You will say i'll come again and again to Ladakh đ
I m glad ur enjoying the trip in India...check for Umling la pass, it is right now the highest pass around 19,000ft. If u want to go there,check for permit if required. Maybe u two will the first foreigners to reach tat pass. Ride safe n good luck for rest of the trip.
19,300 ft.
Absolutely amazing. Love it and made me nostalgic. Do visit Nubra valley, Turtuk village, Pangong lake, Tso moriri lake, Hanle ( highest astronomical observatory in world) , Umlingla pass ( highest pass in world at 19300 feet) and Zanskar valley.
Lucky to see all these places from your camera. God bless you brother. Good luck đ
Hello Frenchy rides you guys shows us what an Indian citizen haven't seen , you guys are amazing.
By the way , if you guys are planning for a Burma trip than visit Manipur
Loktak lake. Manipur is a state in north eastern states of India and its a border to Myanmar (Burma).
May God be with you both always.
Ride safe.
In my opinion He is the first Forgeiner Who visit all around the India and Specially NorthEast Side .đâ„ïž
Karl Rock & him
Ladakh is so unbelievably amazing.
U will see whole world and universe in India only its so diverse
Absolutely breathtaking!đ The best road in the world! Hope you get to see the Nubra Valley. Have a great time in Ladakh!
Congrats on 50K Pierre!

Thank BRO and Indian govt. for this kind of road in Ladakh.
One request @Ride With Frenchy please also add some part of room tours wherever you are staying so that it can be easy for anyone who's going to travel in terms of staying. It would be helpful for others and also + point for your videos. â€ïžđ
Incredible India â€ïž

That was next level, can't wait to visit these places myself, I have spent my life around mountains but never been to Ladakh, that place is something else entirely.
Yup! I went through many comments on types of roads here in your this vlogg, As an Indian I am proud and salute all the personnel engaged in this very difficult construction to do, and have a great memories for foreigners like you about road infrastructures in more than 15000 feet, thankyou frenchy for this amazing viewsđđžđžđžđźđłđźđłđźđłâïžâïžđ«đ·đ«đ·đ«đ·

Ladakh Ride - A Dream of every Indian Middle Class Boys....
Hi Pierre: Congrats on 50K subscribers! Ladakh is indeed mesmerizing.
Thank you so much SK đ
Welcome to Ladakh , hope you enjoy your time here đâĄ
What a ride brother. Awesome.
What if i say you haven't seen the real beauty of ladakh yet? It's going to get even crazier. You will find this nowhere in the world, you can find similar landscapes but not with such snow capped mountains, greenry turquoise water all together with a sense of achievement of riding on the road at highest altitude in the world. Just imagine the place in winters. It's all white with blue skies and much more. Yeah it can be a little difficult at time but if you won't have those difficulties then you will forget that. Those ups and downs is what makes Ladakh experience unique and that's the adventure you seek again once you leave.
Congrats for 50K subs...Keep Riding
Congrats for 50K subs Pierre!!!
Hey world we have everything......but the most valuable thing is our hospitability......We Hindus, Buddhist, Sikhs and Jains of India wel come you all !
Your video quality is superb really enjoyed the visuals
Wow man wow.....just amazing đ
I think cyclists from netherland are struggling more as they are from sea-level altitude. Have you met them again?
Netherlands means below the sea. But those bikers are extraordinary.
@@clarion7018 Is Netherlands below the sea level? I am not sure.
@@whocares3132 yes..
@@suryakiran3085 why doesn't it sink then!!
@@kesardogra5529 , They built dams to stop water seeping in.
Drive slow and safe, keep exploring. Good luck and best wishes đ

Hey brother.... This is just awesome...đđ The amalgamation of road, greenery, mountain and sky is just â€ïžâ€ïž The road is just in the middle of the scene... It's just epic... đ€

After completing Laddakh and kashmir .
Plz go to northeast india good for bike ride .
Plz don't forget to visit Northeast India.
Ppl are so nice .
Currently flood in northeast
@@INDPYROTECH Not the ENTIRE NE. Except Assam. all the other 7 states are Hill States and no flood in those states. There is flood only in some fo the river basin areas of Assam. Only parts Assam is submerged.
By the time Pierre is done with Ladhak, Kashmir, monsoon will be over in NE. As such, he is planning to ride through Myanmar, so he will be visiting NE. :p
