Best bike adventure documentary l've seen on TH-cam 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!
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!
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
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 😂😂
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!
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🇳🇵❤️❤️❤️
Well said , GREAT INTRODUCTION with riding in NEPAL..
This was a really cool video ... Amazing experience felt like a adventure movie... Keep sharing you guys are awesome 👍
Woop! Thanks for the support 🙌
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,😂😂😂
feel your adventure , my experience with duke 390 refreshed, welcome again, 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.
Wow, amazing video. love it.
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!
“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 😉
Thumbs up 👍👍👍👍👍
👍👍👍
Muitos parabéns pela dura experiência, fantástica a tua aventura, não é para todos. Rui Caipira de Portugal

Is it paid promotion!
Victory no it’s not. Potato
Great vlog. Loved it.
Awesome video!
Loved the video! One of the best of Nepal i have seen so far:) We will be riding in Nepal on our way to New Zealand, from Norway 🇳🇴:)
Awesome! When are you leaving? Norway, Nepal and NZ - top three places on the planet I reckon to ride!
@@OpenRoads huh 🤔 ... isn’t the producer/editor from New Zealand...? 🇳🇿😁😁😍
Have a great trip - hope my country treats you well, make sure you get lots of time in the South Island. Stunning 🥳 🇳🇿
@@OpenRoads We will leave May 2022 :) I think Kazakhstan, and Kirgisistan, North Pakistan, and India is def on that list to :D
@@editsweet101 Thanks, and it will :D We are meeting some people in NZ to. And we have about 4 weeks+ in NZ alone :) Lots of Lord of the rings sites to see, and alot of other incredible sites!:)
Problem was the bike .
But it was very fun .
Jess, you're brave, strong, and your story is inspirational. You're an absolute roadies.That heavy bike with tons of loads. My Goodness. I wouldn't have made that far. Kudos to you. Come visit Nepal some other time too. We welcome you with our open heart. There're so many beautiful places you'll be thrilled to go to. Your first experience was tough yet adventurous. You're welcomed anytime.
Awesome 👍👍
👍👍
I was wondering why they would go upper mustang in Enfield. Lol. Props to them they made it all the way with that bike. Word of advice, always choose dirt bikes during bike rides here in Nepal.
Agree! Not sure how Royal Enfield is selling their elephants in Nepal. They really have no place in Nepal's Geography.
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!
always stay on the mountain side! 👍👍👍🇳🇵
Dont worry what you have seen today will remain same for decade in Nepal.
Nepal always welcomes traveler.
Really really hope so. It’s a magical place!
Thank you for the nice video. I love too bike ride.
nice video. nepal is awesome.
guys amazing 🙌🏼🙌🏼😍😍
I love this ducomention
Nice video
What a cool guy Andy is. Never seen a guy with a nose ring but it looks so cool on him.
I know! Lucky me, getting to have him in my ear piece for 2 weeks straight. Pity he didn't use that opportunity to tell me about the river 😀
@@OpenRoads 🤣🤣
Lots of love 💕 from nepal 🇳🇵
Love from Aus!!
I met some guys from Nepal working at a 24/7 garage shop, I said "Your country is so beautiful what are you doing hear" he said "warm or cold" after a little thought I said "warm" he said "that's why we are here".
I
NEUTRAL NEPAL 🇳🇵 ♥ 😀 ❤ U GUYS, ALL THE WAY FROM SYNDEY GURUNG
Wew we’re from Melbourne!
I went for this trip two years back. faced all the similar challenges you had faced. better were our bikes though, not that better at all but better than RE 250. with great struggle we (me and a friend) reached Lo-manthang. However on the return trip, I fell and injured my knee pretty badly, I didn't have knee caps guards on. Now I couldn't ride the bike. sucha frustrating feeling. we were in the middle of nowhere and had no option but to ride anyhow. So the force of sheer will got me on my bike and we started riding downhill again. with paining leg all along, a single gearshift was such a struggle and road, weather, nature in all was against me at that point. my friend didnt know but I cried inside my helmet while I was riding, oh! so frustrating. then we encountered a bicycling group ( yes, they were cycling to up there, totally rad) and an old man was pushing his limits uphill. he could be around 80yo or even 85, but really old, then that brightened me up because his will power was inspiring. With great difficulty but positive mind we descended, stayed at Kagbeni for the night, then reached home 2 days later. The knee still pains sometimes, 2 years later but when i look back, it was by far the best trip i have ever had in a motorcycle ( I have clocked 120000kms till now, started riding in 2012).
havent been able to do motorcycle trips since then partly cause of the injury and mostly due to the LIFE, cause life happened and m still in some kind of turmoil. but cant wait to make another trip but to Manang this time. I dream of doing cross continents , lets hope will do it in this lifetime. but one thing is sure, next trip, its gonna be proper riding gear, proper bike and proper preparation. so glad I came across your video. god bless biker girl.
What an epic story! Thanks for taking the time to share. Oh I didn’t wear knee guards last year (I went back to mustang) and I fell off onto a rock...my god the pain haha. Cross country riding is the free-est experience. Hope you do get around from it! My new series is coming out in December. Hope you get a chance to see it!
@@OpenRoads Have subscribed and will definitely be seeing your vids. Riding will continue no matter what, just a small lag here, gonna get sorted out eventually. You seem like a nice person, may you be protected and ya gears are a must, please armour yourself up everytime haha. Take care. :)
Thank you for coming nepal❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
lots of love from Nepal 🙏.
WOW, I am from NEPAL. Absolutely love this video and send lots of love from NEPAL.
NEPALI Traffic and Rules just not a proper system... Daily challenges of a citizen in a third world country. :)
Lots of love from nepal
It's not the Destination, it's the Journey that counts.
Great... 👍
Woow
lots of love from Nepal. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵
I'm glad that u have made the trip safely U should have chosen a trial bike. The trips would have been much comfortable and u don't hav to leave Nepal in rush. Those bike r powerful but not ment for those roads. See u again in Nepal.
Wow salute for both ..... mustang is a heaven in earth .... on other side the road is like way to hell ...😂😂.....jay Nepal
I graduated that if you visit Nepal next time the roads will still be on under construction. Some typical Nepalese thing😅
Although documentary is very good🖒
Best of luck for further adventure
Haha for sure it would. Always under construction 😂
at the end of your video .. you are welcome .. I don't know what to call my self .. home or home all around ..
Great video,❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🥳❤️
😜
You guys are awesome thank you for visiting Nepal cheers
I have watched countless Nepal adventure trips on Royal Enfield Bullets, just like these two adventurers were riding. They're actually ideal. The Royal Enfield Himalayans are better, but they are newer and not as available in India and Nepal.
I actually took the Himalayan on the same route after this one, and even it struggled with the altitude. But it was far far better. Could actually make it up the hills 😂
I like the TM puppy!
Nepal has the cutest mountain dogs!!
🔥❤️✌️
Loys of love from nepal
I would like to recommend you RARA lake, NEPAL next time. Almost 3 days ride from kathmandu.
Crazy guys
this is impressive work, how about gasoline? and lodging? you just show up to the places and look where to sleep?
Yep you can just arrive. Although in the busy season I would check ahead. You need to bring gas from Jomsom - that’s the last big (little) town really. I’d suggest bring spare the whole way though because they do run out.
Editing techniques is just Wow 😍
Thank you for noticing - a lot of effort went into this little thing!
👍👍awesome love story!🤙
I watched this full video once on youtube but I cant find it now is it still on hear. Your a lovely looking lass.👍
♥️♥️
Yup!!
Nobody:
TH-cam:
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 !!
Thank you so much for visiting #Nepal🇳🇵🇳🇵
Lots of love from nepal and the door will be always open for you

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” 😅
I love this documentation. All was so on point and literally enjoyed. Felt like I was witnessing all those with them.
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
Just yours ride was terrible but sure next time have a good bike, guide and please visit nepal again. We will love to see you in nepal.

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
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 ❤️
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.
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!
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.
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...
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
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
u used bikes not suited for terrain but that makes challange even bigger, great video, great trip.
Thank you, it was certainly an adventure 😂
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!
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.
royal engfield is very heavy bike for these kind of road u guys must research before u took that bike
I love this documentation but you choose wrong bike dear. NEPAL is the country of mountains, please donot use heavy bikes, i recommend mountain bikes with good conditions. welcome to Nepal and sorry for your inconvenience :)
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!
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!
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
Respect to you both and yes, fife changing experience. Cheers and enjoy
Cheers John!
You are one tough cookie, cheers. Great video.
Thank you!
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!
Wonderful experience,thanks for sharing.JHB-SA
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 😇
