- Vlog 7 in the #tourof2017 series.
Unpredictable weather in North Sikkim (in April 2017) and almost no fuel in the tank meant that the bike and I needed to head back south within Sikkim.
With the sudden change of plans, I had no idea what to do or where to go next. A chance encounter with a fellow traveller (a 62-year-old bicyclist) at Rhingim (North Sikkim) and random conversation led to the plotting of an interesting route from North to West Sikkim.
My Route -
Lachen - Chungthang - Mangan - Ringhim -Mangan - Dikchu - Singtham - Temi Tea Gardens - Dangtham - Ravangla - Tashiding - Yuksom - Pelling.

Folks, I realised I haven't really shared many details about exactly what my #tourof2017 is or how I ended up doing this. I've written a short blogpost to give you all more information about this - you can read it on my website using this link - tollfreetraveller.com/the-tourof2017-about-my-ongoing-travel-adventure/
I went through the blog, it is amazingly written.. Now going to read the rest of the content on the site as well. Waiting for your next upload...
Thanks, Karthik. :)

Mr Britto is really a man of steel. To do what he is doing at his age is beyond amazing. The places were stunning. Glad to be able to share these experiences with all of you.
I could watch your videos for hours on and on...I would suggest you making a movie out of it. every minute ,every word , every shot is filled with purpose and enthusiasm. Love your work very much. thank you for sharing your experiences.
That's encouraging to hear. Thanks for watching, Sandeepkumar. Hope you continue watching. :)
Toll Free Traveller always brother
From past 2 to 3 days I was checking my notifications whether there's any new upload from Toll Free Traveller. Every time it showed nothing but old videos. Even yesterday night checked once again but nope. And I just woke up from my sleep and saw the best thing CZcams has shown me, NEW UPLOAD FROM TOLL FREE TRAVELLER! I feel like it's been ages.
Thank you again Sir for a beautiful vlog! ❤️
Hahaha. That's awesome. Thanks for watching!
it hurts when the ending of vlog comes 😭
Hahaha hopefully the upcoming vlogs will make up for it. :)
Toll Free Traveller 😍
Seeing notification from your channel made my day! Your channel has the best travel content amongst the motovlogging channels from India.. Love the way you narrate your travel. Keep exploring and keep sharing your travel stories.
sandesh manjeshwar agree bro!! same here
sandesh manjeshwar Yes the content is of top notch level and the way of narrating too. The ethereal music gives an angelic touch to this vlog.
sandesh manjeshwar agree with you
Thanks for all the positivity, guys. I appreciate it!
Toll Free Traveller 😊
its more than a vlog, you share emotions. . . in each of the video. . .just loved it
Thanks a lot, Raj :)
I love all your videos, finally found a motovlogger narrating story with awesome presentation ☺
This is what an actual motovlogger is
Very kind of you. Thanks for watching.
Fantastic movies you make. Love them! Thank you!!
Great to hear that. Thanks for watching :)
The way you explored the places without much prior planning is truly the essence of riding and exploring the untravelled roads. This is what makes the journey much more adventurous and interesting. Thank you for making such good videos. Kudos :)
Couldn't agree more. It makes things very interesting.
for certain reasons i cant travel ....but i see ur vlogs...i closed my eyes for few minutes when u showed the view of kanchenjunga and thought as i was presnt there ....the bells sounds of the monestry and view u showed gave me peace...thank u sir from bottom of my heart...amazing..
Thank you for your kind words, Sougato. Glad that you enjoyed the video. Hope you keep watching. :)
I won't be surprised if I someday NGC decides to air ur videos. Truly breath taking and one of the motovloggers in the world. No no sense, just travel and narration. 😍😍
Thank you, Shashank!
two things that made me smile
1. the young man going to gurudongmar in cycle
2. the view of Kanchenjunga
keep travelling bro
:) Thank you!
Amazing..The sheer quality of the content..speechless.. you are definitely living the dream man :)
Thanks a lot, Santosh.
You've just left us craving for more. The route from Ravangla to Pelling is truly an amazing experience. I rode on the suspension bridge as well around 10 PM and I couldn't see much and it was scarier than ever.
Oh man. That sounds dicey. I prefer to cover these routes in daylight because you get to see so much more (even though the clouds in Sikkim are notorious). Hahaha.
Just finished watching Vlog 7 of your fantastic journey Toll Free Traveller. Very very good !
Thank you for sharing!
Thank you, Baden. Will be making and sharing a lot more videos from that epic ride through the North-East of India. Hope you do keep watching and sharing.
probably the best Motovlogger in India. I can't tell you how excited I get whenever I get a notification that you have uploaded a new video. So badly want to meet you.
Thanks a lot, Tejaswi. Look forward to meeting you someday too.
Seriously bro.. 'You' and 'GoPro man' are my favourite Indian motovlogers... The two travelers who not only travels but also explore.. Once again a super awesome video... And man.. that view of Kanjanjunka- beautifuly breath taking...
Thanks, Abhijith. Glad you enjoyed the video. Kanchenjunga was quite a sight!
Amazing..simply amazing..2 rainbows and a waterfall..nature at its best.... I like that you take your time while travelling..you are not in a hurry to complete your journey, thats how travelling should be done. Big thumbs up !!
That was a phenomenal sight. Thanks for the good wishes, Mostafizur!
Seriously you are one of the best moto vlogger... you will be blessed with a lots of fan asap...
Thanks for the good wishes, Naveen.

Sikkim is just that. Relaxing, calm and peaceful. Glad I was able to share that vibe with all of you.

Wow simply wow ! love this particular trip Toll Free Traveller !! I too ride a motorycle and am planning to do a trip from the bottom to the top of India very soon. Please keep up these vlogs - I really get inspired by watching them.
That's great to hear. Thank you. All the best for your travels!
Oh finally... phew.. wat a wait.
There is something about the mountain and the roads that u fall in love wid. Living my dream through you. Thank u so much. Damn, Oh I miss the mountain roads. Wen is next one coming 😬😬
The mountains and those roads. I couldn't agree more. The next one will take a little while. Still on the road. Hope to start the ride back home in the next few days, but I still have several 1000s of kilometres to go.
Some Riders wants to reach the destination as fast as they can and some Riders they enjoy every single moment. being a rider it is not important to reach the destiny being Rider means to enjoy every single moment and making some lovely memories and also take adventurous roads that help the riders to Remember this lovely movement and the Adventure roads. I like the way you drive the bike because you're not only enjoying the destination you also enjoying the challenging roads. best of luck for your future rides.☺☺☺☺
Absolutely. There are times when you need to cover more distance and ride at a faster pace, but whenever I have a choice, I prefer to take things slow and make the most of the opportunity
Amazing! Something new to discover from your vlogs. Keep up the good work. And the new routes as well 😂
Thanks a lot, Harsh
Here in the city Lights gone !rain started and at once your vlog comes...!! saviour 👌
Hahaha. :)
Amazing , amazing! What a magical place, Sikkim. You are creating a really amazing set of adventure video on CZcams.
Thanks a lot :)
that place is stunning, untouched with bad travelers who throws garbage here and there. Definitely wanna explore northeast on my avenger. Thanks for the video, man it just inspires.
Lots of tourists in some parts, but definitely less explored as compared to other parts of India. You should definitely go.
The Vlog is so much great... You inspire us to move from our comfort zone and explore the beautiful country..
Thanks for watching, Asif. Glad you enjoyed the video. :)
those kanchenjunga shots were really amazing.
SUPERB.
Thank you, Rahul :)

I once told you Mr.Toll Free Traveller but I think unfortunately you missed that comment but you have the potential to make short movies out of your travel videos, the videos you make they are extremely extraordinary, once I start watching your videos I just get lost with the narration of yours, it totally feels like I am also in that place travelling with you, soon I will also be getting my Himalayan and lets see if I can meet you some day somewhere, just keep inspiring us always , YOU ARE FAB.
That's very kind of you, Sangram. I'm a newbie to the world of video and have a lot to learn. Congratulations on the new bike. Hope you have many great adventures together.
