I faced some terrible weather when I rode to Gurudongmar, but the experience itself was unbelievable. I thoroughly enjoyed making this vlog because it took me back to those adventurous moments. I hope you guys enjoy watching this. It would be amazing if this is the Vlog that helps take the channel to the next level. I hope that all of you watching will share this with your friends and get them to watch and subscribe too. Thanks for all the support and encouragement. (This Vlog came quite quickly because I am stuck in Kohima due to Cyclone Mora - made the most of my time here).
Toll Free Traveller wow.! what an heavenly places i love to see this places thank you rohit ashok for such a beautiful video and keep going goodluck man...
He has forgotten to shave, Forgotten the mess of the world, His eyes seek for those long roads, The dusty,misty ones, The ones which are nurtured by the forest, The wind plays the tune for him.. The cold rain pours.. The Thunderbird smiles, And it again roars.
"I want to have spent at least a part of my life doing something, which I can look back and be amazed about." - Some serious Food for thought, my friend. Thank you for being the guiding light and taking us along with you, on this wonderful journey. Looking forward to more awe inspiring videos. All the best and ride safe.
Again I'm here. 3rd time 4th time I don't know. Probably every year after you uploaded this series. Your narration and the music, it's kind of addiction😂. never gets bored. Again watching it 5 years after the upload.
Buddy MN is overrated to be honest. It's because if the stupid TH-cam algorithm that real content creators like TFT does not reach out to the audience out there. Have you ever seen MN doing east India? Except for the time when he came of Triumph Event for one day!
I had goosebumps watching the lake on screen.... one can only imagine the feeling of being actually present in the magnificent location!! This video is an absolute gem and I congratulate you for living the life on your own terms.... Keep chugging on bro!!!
It was a surreal experience. Thanks for connecting with my video and the emotions of the experience. Hope you keep watching my travel stories and share them too
It gave back all my old memories. It was 2010, had drove to Siliguri to Dzongu forest, i stayed in Gangtok for a week, it was deepavali season and the temperature was around -3 C, it is quite a task to stay focused in such cold conditions. I remember that we used to keep 3-4 room heaters inside our room which was covered with fur and blankets, with 3 sweaters and leather and fur jerkins i used to sleep covered with many number of gloves and socks. But the blankets used to turn into thick ice cold sheets for the night. Fighting cold was a bigger challenge than the chalk powder road i drove. Maybe, i will again commence now with my kid, mightily impressed from your journey account and smitten by Sikkim's charm.
I have seen all of your vlogs are this is one is certainly the best. The place is incredible. You make us travel with you. The narration is simple and calm, just enough to convey about the place and your thoughts. There were a lot of moments in this video you made me introspect my life. I wouldn't have a watched a 26 min travel video without a break if it wasn't from you. In both your attempts you taught me a beautiful lesson , one to assess the situation and then proceed and second not giving up for such beautiful things.
I'm glad I was able to convey so much to you through this video. I absolutely enjoyed making it and it's my personal favourite too. Superb to know that it has been well received.
I want to live the life that you do. Just watching your videos made me go out and ride, I would never have done that if not for your videos. Thank you for inspiring me to just enjoy life as it is and have new experiences along the way. Thanks again and ride safe.
It was really a very good decision to return back to Lachen d first day considering d bad weather as I am pretty much familiar with North Sikkim weather..but in my mind I was lyk Man U should visit d lake after riding thousands f kms from Chennai..finally when U decided 2 give it a shot d 2nd day, possibly I was d 2nd most happiest person,U being d 1st....!!! Great vlog....ride safe...cheers..!!!!
Thank you for such a beautiful video! Your narration is extremely touching and inspiring. The views are spectacular! The music and editing is so perfect! I hope you have a wonderful journey ahead. Don't stop doing what you do, I honestly feel you're the best moto-vloggers out there and the best one I've seen! Best Regards, Aditya.
Through out this video, I was able to feel ur emotions. The disappointment on your first try, the elation when you saw the snow capped peak on that clear summer morning. I felt like I was there, riding along as a fellow biker, watching that snow capped peak, and those last 14km just shook me out. What a view! That sheer expanse of snow is beyond words. Thank u Rohit for this wonderful video, ur narration is most exemplary. And must I say, the bg music elevates your videos to another level?☺️ Cheers brother, ride safe.
Thanks a lot, Sreekanth. This part of the ride was one huge challenge for me personally and I'm glad I've been able to share the experience with all of you.
Very few people can say.. ive ridden my motorcycle to gurudungmar lake... loved ur movie so much. keep making more such movies in future and keep inspiring people with ur work.... Awesome!
the thing with travelling solo is that there are a lot of risks involved and as you said you need to carefully assess the situation and choose your options wisely... but the best thing is that, you can change your plans as and when you like ... and am glad that you could make it to Gurudongmar Lake ... its like mother nature heard your calls and cleared the weather for you ... so that you can accomplish your goal ... enjoyed every second of the video ... its like you were driving through heaven ... you're awesome bro .. and your choice of background music is fantastic ... super awesome stuff!
Awesome one! The part of beating the temptation and deciding upon going back is a really good lesson for the riders. leaving to live another day! Keep up the riding spirit! Ride safe!
With every new video that you upload bro.. my respect for you increases way beyond words.. i have personally done a lot of rides both solo and group.. but the riding spirit that you share is unbelievable.. respect to your courage, hard work, riding spirit and last but not the least ur bike... you are a motivator for all the biker across the globe and especially INDIA since you show them a different aspect of Biking and travelling .. ride safe bro.. tc
thanks to you brother.. keep up the good work and discovering new destinations for the bikers to explore.. Gurudongmar lake is on my bucket list now.. cheers to you..
Hi Toll Free Traveller, It's definitely great to live the life that you are living, but it's even greater to touch other people's heart as you go along living your dream. It's the first time I subscribed someone and it's the first time I am commenting on a video, just for one single reason. Your videos have touched me somewhere deep down within me. I own a bullet with a bunch of dreams attached to it, but it's your videos that told me to go chase it. Often I'd heard of the word 'Inspiration' but now I'm experiencing it through your vlogs. All I can say to you now is...Thank you!! I'l meet you somewhere down that road to ecstasy. Keep Riding brother...God Bless :)
I actually don't have any words to thank you enough . I live in Bangladesh and we are restricted to visit sikkim . These videos are the only to enjoy the wild. And of course you are a magnificent story teller . Long live brother
it was a very smart decision to not give in to temptation and come back and start all over again the next day.....possibly I understand a very tough journey... sitting here in near +40 degrees I can still imagine what you must have gone through and survived!! fabulous lake and fantastic journey!! lifetime memories!!!
Toll Free Traveller ... You are just awesome. I don't think you should be calling these vlogs. They are more like stories, pulling us into the story and makes feel as if we are part of your rides. I think your videos are the best. At the end of every video i feel it should have been a bit more longer. I have subscribed only to a handful of channels and yours is one. But I'm actually surprised that you don't have more views. You certainly deserve more, i have shared your videos (Chennai to Ladakh and the long way home) with friends and they all appreciated. Keep riding (and uploading).. Ride safe..
That's a lovely comment to receive. Thanks for those words of encouragement. To be honest, I'd never expected the kind of response I've received and I'm grateful for all that has happened. Growth will happen as people like you continue to share the content with others. Thanks for the support!
I don't have words to explain how I felt after watching the view of the lake. If I was there in real, I would have thought it's just a dream or fairy tale. So wonderful. World's true beauty lies in only THE GREAT HIMALAYA. 🇮🇳❤️🇮🇳❤️🇮🇳❤️🇮🇳
Yet again..there are no words for appreciation. All I can say is.."It's insanely beautiful Journey so far".. You keep exploring and ride safe!!! Also, the nation(including Arnab) wants to know who are those 2 dislikers :P
Wow what an amazing ride through such beautiful snowy mountains ... absolutely mind blowing... The lake Oh my God... no words ... amazing video ... cheers bro.
Wow! This is the best, in terms of the nature, terrain, adventure, the destination, the struggles and the spirit of philosophy, all of which came together like a symphony through your unique and magical voiceover. "Yet", is the spirit of adventure. I haven't been to this place; yet! Excellent video man! 👌
The best thing of watching your video is able to relate myself with videos and your voice-over as you were between OMR and ECR stretch couple of month back, now you are in completely different part. You gave one of the good line in this video - "When I look back at things and say 'WoW, Did I do that!!!'"... I love another line which I came across somewhere - "Run for your success, not for others failure". You are simply inspirational... BTW, get your bike serviced completely asap...
Hats off to your patience level.Immense level of sheer determination .The words "look back and say , did i do that" along with your adventure stories does inspire me and i strongly believe many others.
A lot of people end up having to skip it because of weather or time constraints. I might have missed it too. I'm sure you will get to go there the next time!
I watch this video and the trip to Everest base camp with amazement, excitement, thrilling and how far can one-self can endear the surroundings. You asked your self why you do it and there is no simple explanation. But I can tell honestly what you did is for us (at home with our cosy life) is sharing your sense of adventure becomes our view of what is beautiful out there - thank you so much truly !
The 26 minutes of pure joy and love..... I was smiling throughout the video. I never knew such wonderful place exist im India. Thank you for giving us such a wonderful video.
Thank you very much for the pleasant surprise!! The answer to the question people ask you would be the difference between LIVING & EXISTING. KEEP LIVING YOUR DREAM, which most of us don't dare to. Thank you once again brother, Ride safe.
Around 6-7 months back i watched ur moto vlog of solo ride from delhi to chennai .. i don’t know what actually happened from that day to till date i watched every other vlogs but none satisfied then i remembered ur channel hoping i could find something adventurous there i got this .. was mesmerising by the way u narrate your travelling stories especially that last words “why you do that “felt like heart warming.. thank you for this video .. was worth watching
My dream is being fulfilled by you. Being a family man and a middle aged person I find it difficult rather impossible to be a challenging solo rider like YOU. Really brave ..... I have subscribed your channel liked and pressed the notification bell icon to view such videos as if I am with YOU in all tours. Thanks Bro... Keep it up... Carry on..
u made gurudongmar my dream destination rohith.....man what a video....i couldn't come out of it....this is ur best so far...such a perseverance...and passion...how is this possible man..dont u get scared riding over such passes alone... anyway......big fan.....cheers mate....keep it coming
Making this video was a whole lot of fun for me. My personal favourite too. Thanks a lot, Samrat. In the moment, you somehow feel a lot of things other than fear. When I look back, I wonder how I did it too. But I;m so glad that I did do it!
Beautiful as always...your choice of music and the apt voice-overs are just perfect as well...and what I loved most is your zeal to move on and the decision to do the Gurudongmar lake was worth it....reminded my of my Gangotri Trip (my first on snow and black ice and that too a 200NS)...and also the Chopta trip I did....keep em coming.....
Overwhelmed by the video!! Well not here to say words like courageous, brave, gud riding skills, etc etc, as already here many times, and its there in you. I would like to touch the aspect, your artistry. Your editing, scene selection, your voice over, background music selection, notes given at end and in between ur vlogs....mindblowing, u just nails it every time. Man u speak like a saint. Even likes of hollywoods & bollywoods can make out some learnings out of ur vlogs. I m short of words!! Superlike.
i cant tell how happy i was when u reached lake..as if i was riding...thats the magic of toll free traveller....the last 1 min the ques u answered was sumthng i was thinking of asking u...you answered it so beautifully that i rested my ques...bro although u dnt do stuff dat much to attract subsribers like other riders vlog do (sumtyms wich is useless) but wat u do and how u do is amazing and respect u frm btm of heart...dnt stop riding and sharing pple like me who are mad abt riding bt cant do much cnsdrng situation are fulfiling there dreams thru u...gbu..
mere pass sabdh nehi haii ... m just speach less.. u r incredible...u r awesome...love u... love all of things u do.. aap aise hii khote raho apni dunia me.. thanks for everything u did for us.. god bless u.. safe journey..
Absolute Bliss !!! im lucky to get a glimpse of it. have been following you since you have started uploading ..solo ride.. ur videos are alluring & inspiring ... thankyou
Superb video gr8 job👍 u r lucky to see the holy lake all the blessing from Guru Rinpoche. My tears r rolling down when I saw frozen Holy lake and snow covered Mt. We also made it last year Nov 2016.
i have seen thousands of videos on travelling but i have never seen something as good and motivating like this, sir thankyou for all these videos you make #respect ❤
Stumbled on your channel a week ago. Love your content bro. Not a single downvote on the video shows how great the video is. Every motovlogger has their own style of content presentation so it's unfair to do comparisons like other people do commenting on videos. I love how unique your moto vlogging style is, like a storytelling which i absolutely love. More power to you, keep the videos coming. Cheers.
What an awesome video sir, its a great inspiration to people who were planning to go road trips with offroadings. I really love it. I am eagerly waiting to get my thunderbird 350 to go there.
Your ride is awe inspiring man. I just loved it. The last stance you said about your life was great. Normal person can't get the feeling of riding through tough terrains. They are thinking about themselves only. But a guy who enjoys his 20s a lot will be happy in their 80s to remember of something that can't be described by words. I think you are one in that category.
Each person has their own idea of what they want to have done in their lives. I'm just happy to be able to live and do what makes me happy (for however long I can). Thanks for watching, Siva.
OMG dude you are one brave hearty rider, your footage up those beautiful snow capped mountains on those sunny mornings must have been amazing. You're VLOG's are so raw and genuine...you actually feel you're riding along...safe rides
omg omg... oh My god... what did I see ... Truly heaven on earth 😍😍. The bgms used really relaxing and gives a very pleasant feel. This log looks more adventurous . in between I really thought we would miss Gurudongmar Lake. what view. what a memory. god bless u.
the notification I get about your video is the best notification I get on my phone....true rider spirit...no nonsense....amazing work bro...hope u get full cooperation from weather on your further journeys too.. all the best...keep up the work...continue giving us such visual treats
The weather was quite notorious throughout my trip, but I managed to still get lucky with some places. Looking forward to share all those stories with you guys in the coming months. Thanks, Shravan
I wonder why i didnt find your channel till now. Its amazing, heartfelt, blissful and extremely motivating what you are doing. Your courage in following your passion and taking us on a journey with you gives life a new meaning. I hope you never stop to amaze.. kudos brother
That was so amazing and eye opening Rohith. I love riding but didn't know that the gear will get struck due to cold climate. Its a wow when you reaching that destination after much struggles.Like many bikers have faced such bad situations and at the end you will get a memorable scenery. Keep on riding.Its your destiny.
Rohith one of the best moto VLogs ever! What insane landscapes captured...I have started questioning myself sitting under the LED lit room with steel and glass foussard around me..that is this time well lived? Your videos feel so free spirited and it really makes a lot sense in these 3 little words 'You are free'. Keep up the good work and you are helping millions to awaken their passion which has been buried somewhere deep within. Thanks again for your amazing work...its class apart!. Cheers!
That's such a wonderfully warm comment to receive. Thank you. I spent several years buried beneath papers and glued to a desk to be able to be free (for however long it lasts). I'm sure your time will come too and you will make it count!
very few people have the courage to do what ur doing. to do wat they love to do. ur an inspiration. salute to u. we are living our dream through ur videos.. thank you so much. waiting for more videos.
Rohith, I was kinda emotional and was happy for you when the video ended. It's incredible to see more viewers hitting your page and makes this long time admirer happier. Again, keep going!
I think you are best ambassador of #incredibleindia. Government must be thankful to you as after seeing your videos tourism will increase in these incredible but less travelled places. keep it up. you have an amazing sense of story telling.
Hats of to you, friend. this is the ultimate video in your recent Sikkim trip I have been waiting for. frankly, I became a bit disappointed when you headed back to Lachen on your day 1. but surprisingly you didn't kneel down, your started the very next day. and you have made it with all the odds came on your way. proud of you. but, one thing , when you decided to retry it for the 2nd day, you could have stayed in the Thangu valley village itself, instead of coming back to lachen. any way, its been a 'once in a lifetime' experience to grasp the beauty of Gurudongmar. best of luck. will wait for your next journey.
Thanks, Partha. I'm so glad I got better weather on the second day. It was such a great experience. Had to come back to Lachen because all my gear was there, Thangu net time.
Seeing your passion and determination to travel and explore........GOD made you wait another day so that he could serve u Gurudongmarg at its best..... keep exploring..........
I too went there and really the sentence, "I was physically moving away from the lake but my mind was there." You said is very very true. Same thing happened to me. Till today it was my best ride.
I patiently wait for your vlog and when you upload one, i am all exited. Your story telling and video and editing , music mixing ... simply puts me at peace and love the world a little bit more. :) thanks

I faced some terrible weather when I rode to Gurudongmar, but the experience itself was unbelievable. I thoroughly enjoyed making this vlog because it took me back to those adventurous moments. I hope you guys enjoy watching this. It would be amazing if this is the Vlog that helps take the channel to the next level. I hope that all of you watching will share this with your friends and get them to watch and subscribe too. Thanks for all the support and encouragement. (This Vlog came quite quickly because I am stuck in Kohima due to Cyclone Mora - made the most of my time here).
Toll Free Traveller bro do you recommend re Himalayan for these roads? pls reply!!!plsss
Yes, there is news about a cyclonic storm from Bangladesh Side. Take care Bro! My prayers are with you......
Toll Free Traveller wow.! what an heavenly places i love to see this places thank you rohit ashok for such a beautiful video and keep going goodluck man...
Toll Free Traveller if you're in Kohima you're not so far from me, wish I could meet you once, big fan of yours...
Toll Free Traveller ohh u r still r still there? hope the roads don't get damaged due to Mora
He has forgotten to shave,
Forgotten the mess of the world,
His eyes seek for those long roads,
The dusty,misty ones,
The ones which are nurtured by the forest,
The wind plays the tune for him..
The cold rain pours..
The Thunderbird smiles,
And it again roars.
HIRAK MONDAL woah, poetry. thanks for these thoughtful words.🙏🙏🙏
HIRAK MONDAL wow, so well written and matches it
HIRAK MONDAL wonderfully captured in words.
Wow!! No one could wrote it better..,👍🏼👍🏼

Thanks a lot, Saiesh. One life, after all :)
Toll Free Traveller where do u get this from man..it was epic..
True that :) I must say that the shot from 22:27 - 22:50 - Simply brilliant. Just too good.
A very good example of "bad roads often lead to beautiful destinations"
Definitely. An incredible destination, this one.
Again I'm here. 3rd time 4th time I don't know. Probably every year after you uploaded this series. Your narration and the music, it's kind of addiction😂. never gets bored. Again watching it 5 years after the upload.
Happiness is getting a notification from toll free traveller :3 keep up the good work man and ride safe. Cheers!
Hahaha. THanks, Prathamesh!
Prathamesh Acharya indeed

Ur vlogs are not just Traveling experience, they are something different from others, they seem philosophical delights....
Thanks a lot, Ashish!
Nice Video Rider love your honesty 👍 keep Riding ...
Thank you! :)
Fakira sir
I am really surprised why you aren't as famous as Mumbiker Nikhil.. Excellent work Toll Free Traveller..
Akshay Salvi Dude, nothing against MN, but TFT is much better vlogger, narrator and rider than MN. Pretty sure TFT will be famous very soon.
I wholeheartedly want TFT to be famous
Thanks for the words of encouragement. I'm enjoying the process of making and sharing these stories with all of you.
Rightly said ...MN is MN....
Buddy MN is overrated to be honest. It's because if the stupid TH-cam algorithm that real content creators like TFT does not reach out to the audience out there. Have you ever seen MN doing east India? Except for the time when he came of Triumph Event for one day!
you are India's top moto vlogger. No doubt. I am a great fan of you sir..🙏🙏🙏
Very kind of you. Thanks for the support!
I had goosebumps watching the lake on screen.... one can only imagine the feeling of being actually present in the magnificent location!! This video is an absolute gem and I congratulate you for living the life on your own terms.... Keep chugging on bro!!!
It was a surreal experience. Thanks for connecting with my video and the emotions of the experience. Hope you keep watching my travel stories and share them too
Inarguably, the Best vlog of Tour of 2017. YET :)

Keep up the riding spirit!

Hi Toll Free Traveller, It's definitely great to live the life that you are living, but it's even greater to touch other people's heart as you go along living your dream. It's the first time I subscribed someone and it's the first time I am commenting on a video, just for one single reason. Your videos have touched me somewhere deep down within me. I own a bullet with a bunch of dreams attached to it, but it's your videos that told me to go chase it. Often I'd heard of the word 'Inspiration' but now I'm experiencing it through your vlogs.

That's a wonderful comment. Thank you for the words of encouragement. Look forward to meeting you along the way someday.
I actually don't have any words to thank you enough . I live in Bangladesh and we are restricted to visit sikkim . These videos are the only to enjoy the wild. And of course you are a magnificent story teller . Long live brother
Thank you so much, Yousha. I hope to share many more travel stories with all of you in the days to come.
Beaitiful vlog bud. Glad you made it in the end.
it was a very smart decision to not give in to temptation and come back and start all over again the next day.....possibly I understand a very tough journey... sitting here in near +40 degrees I can still imagine what you must have gone through and survived!! fabulous lake and fantastic journey!! lifetime memories!!!
Hahaha. And the decision paid off because I got much better weather and a much better view the next day! Lifetime memories, for sure!
Your achievement is inspiration for all people who love to ride
Thanks a lot :)
Addicted to watch your videos, don't remember if I have watched even a single movie so many times , hats offf
Thanks a lot, Kiran :)
Toll Free Traveller ... You are just awesome. I don't think you should be calling these vlogs. They are more like stories, pulling us into the story and makes feel as if we are part of your rides.

I don't have words to explain how I felt after watching the view of the lake. If I was there in real, I would have thought it's just a dream or fairy tale. So wonderful. World's true beauty lies in only THE GREAT HIMALAYA. 🇮🇳❤️🇮🇳❤️🇮🇳❤️🇮🇳
I had that feeling too. Hahaha. Thanks, David
Toll Free Traveller your welcome bro. I wish I could ride there too soon. Haha
This is really amazing! i'm binge watching your vlogs for the 2nd time now! superb work!
Thanks a lot, Vaishali!
I'm so happy that you again went on 2nd day. You are living what millions can only dream of. God bless.
Thanks a lot, Salila!
I think this guy is highly under rated ....
The way you finished off, that last paragraph of speech, words just cant express the amount of inspiration that you spread. ❤
Thanks a lot, Govind!
Yet again..there are no words for appreciation. All I can say is.."It's insanely beautiful Journey so far".. You keep exploring and ride safe!!! Also, the nation(including Arnab) wants to know who are those 2 dislikers :P
Thanks a lot, Nandan. Looking forward to sharing the rest of the travel stories with all of you. Hahahha. Arnab!
Wow what an amazing ride through such beautiful snowy mountains ... absolutely mind blowing... The lake Oh my God... no words ... amazing video ... cheers bro.
It was an incredible experience, Ricky. Glad you enjoyed the watch.
26 mins of awesomeness
tks for sharing
Thanks for watching :)
awestruck !! even my mother watches your videos now. she loved it
Hahaha. That's awesome. Tell your mother i'm thrilled to know that.
Wow! This is the best, in terms of the nature, terrain, adventure, the destination, the struggles and the spirit of philosophy, all of which came together like a symphony through your unique and magical voiceover. "Yet", is the spirit of adventure. I haven't been to this place; yet!
Excellent video man! 👌
Yet, is what it's always about for people like us. Thanks for that encouraging comment.
the VIEW R awsome ...keep rideing....i watched 4 to 5 times keep going sir ...god bless u...GODSPEED
Saugato Biswas thanks a lot
just a small suggestion
can you please add some pictures taken from dslr? sometimes GoPro does no justice to the view you capture
Definitely. The temperature was too extreme to be able to pull out and use the DSLR on this adventure though
The best thing of watching your video is able to relate myself with videos and your voice-over as you were between OMR and ECR stretch couple of month back, now you are in completely different part. You gave one of the good line in this video - "When I look back at things and say 'WoW, Did I do that!!!'"... I love another line which I came across somewhere - "Run for your success, not for others failure". You are simply inspirational... BTW, get your bike serviced completely asap...
Thank you, Raj. When you get your bike serviced at an RE service centre it is likely to have more problems than before. Hahaha.
This channel is addictive 👍👍👌
:):)
Hats off to your patience level.Immense level of sheer determination .The words "look back and say , did i do that" along with your adventure stories does inspire me and i strongly believe many others.
That's great to hear, Amal. Thank you!
I'm Also here in Sikkim. but unfortunately I've to skip this awesome place.. hope to get back soon in future
A lot of people end up having to skip it because of weather or time constraints. I might have missed it too. I'm sure you will get to go there the next time!
Toll Free Traveller ya.. I'm already making plans for it. 😊😊
I watch this video and the trip to Everest base camp with amazement, excitement, thrilling and how far can one-self can endear the surroundings. You asked your self why you do it and there is no simple explanation. But I can tell honestly what you did is for us (at home with our cosy life) is sharing your sense of adventure becomes our view of what is beautiful out there - thank you so much truly !
love your videos brother. 😍😘
Thank you. Please do share this one (with friends and groups) so that it reaches more people.
The 26 minutes of pure joy and love..... I was smiling throughout the video. I never knew such wonderful place exist im India. Thank you for giving us such a wonderful video.
Glad you enjoyed it Niladri. Please do help share this video :)
Thank you very much for the pleasant surprise!! The answer to the question people ask you would be the difference between LIVING & EXISTING. KEEP LIVING YOUR DREAM, which most of us don't dare to. Thank you once again brother, Ride safe.
Very kind of you, Sarat. Thanks for the words of support.
Around 6-7 months back i watched ur moto vlog of solo ride from delhi to chennai .. i don’t know what actually happened from that day to till date i watched every other vlogs but none satisfied then i remembered ur channel hoping i could find something adventurous there i got this .. was mesmerising by the way u narrate your travelling stories especially that last words “why you do that “felt like heart warming.. thank you for this video .. was worth watching
loved the way your video starts bro.will finish up watching it completely now.hope my channel grows someday like yours ❤
Thanks a lot. I wish you all the best for your channel!
tysm brother.it means a lot.finished watching it completely and I swear I had goosebumps all over my body ❤
Bows down with respect, i had tears in my eyes when you reached Gurudogmar. You have a gift my friend. Dont ever stop making these amazing videos.
Thanks a lot, Vivek!
Amazing vlog
Arati's Life thank you😊🙏
My dream is being fulfilled by you. Being a family man and a middle aged person I find it difficult rather impossible to be a challenging solo rider like YOU. Really brave ..... I have subscribed your channel liked and pressed the notification bell icon to view such videos as if I am with YOU in all tours. Thanks Bro... Keep it up... Carry on..
why dont you come to NEPAL . come and visit upper Mustang the hidden kingdom.
Ride with Sagar I would absolutely love to do that. Someday, hopefully
u made gurudongmar my dream destination rohith.....man what a video....i couldn't come out of it....this is ur best so far...such a perseverance...and passion...how is this possible man..dont u get scared riding over such passes alone...
anyway......big fan.....cheers mate....keep it coming
Making this video was a whole lot of fun for me. My personal favourite too. Thanks a lot, Samrat. In the moment, you somehow feel a lot of things other than fear. When I look back, I wonder how I did it too. But I;m so glad that I did do it!
Beautiful as always...your choice of music and the apt voice-overs are just perfect as well...and what I loved most is your zeal to move on and the decision to do the Gurudongmar lake was worth it....reminded my of my Gangotri Trip (my first on snow and black ice and that too a 200NS)...and also the Chopta trip I did....keep em coming.....
Thank you. Have you shot footage of those trips? Would be interesting to see!
real SOUL FOOD it is... !!! thumbnail, narration and BGM on the spot.. superlyk..
Neha Joshi thanks a lot 😊
Overwhelmed by the video!! Well not here to say words like courageous, brave, gud riding skills, etc etc, as already here many times, and its there in you. I would like to touch the aspect, your artistry. Your editing, scene selection, your voice over, background music selection, notes given at end and in between ur vlogs....mindblowing, u just nails it every time. Man u speak like a saint. Even likes of hollywoods & bollywoods can make out some learnings out of ur vlogs. I m short of words!! Superlike.
Thank you so much. That's really encouraging to hear. :)

And there is another amazing vlog from Tollfreetraveller...Good work Rohith bro..Hope u start your journey again soon...
Thanks a lot, Nitin
Superb video gr8 job👍 u r lucky to see the holy lake all the blessing from Guru Rinpoche. My tears r rolling down when I saw frozen Holy lake and snow covered Mt. We also made it last year Nov 2016.
The lake is an incredible sight. Glad I was able to see it! Thanks for watching :)
When you just reached the lake and the music... only word came in mind is "Heaven"..!! You did it bro.. Cheers.
Hahaha. That's what it felt like for me in person too!
i have seen thousands of videos on travelling but i have never seen something as good and motivating like this, sir thankyou for all these videos you make #respect ❤
Thanks a lot, Adil!
Stumbled on your channel a week ago. Love your content bro. Not a single downvote on the video shows how great the video is. Every motovlogger has their own style of content presentation so it's unfair to do comparisons like other people do commenting on videos. I love how unique your moto vlogging style is, like a storytelling which i absolutely love. More power to you, keep the videos coming. Cheers.
X D thanks for watching and being here. good to have new people finding the channel
What an awesome video sir, its a great inspiration to people who were planning to go road trips with offroadings. I really love it. I am eagerly waiting to get my thunderbird 350 to go there.
Thanks, Kannan. Hope you get to travel to many lovely places on your bike.
Your ride is awe inspiring man. I just loved it.
The last stance you said about your life was great. Normal person can't get the feeling of riding through tough terrains. They are thinking about themselves only. But a guy who enjoys his 20s a lot will be happy in their 80s to remember of something that can't be described by words. I think you are one in that category.
Each person has their own idea of what they want to have done in their lives. I'm just happy to be able to live and do what makes me happy (for however long I can). Thanks for watching, Siva.
Toll Free Traveller thnx for replying for my comment. You always rock. Go and show us many wonderful places in India
one of the best videos...fulfilling ones dream of travelling and exploring such beautiful nature..keep going..god bless.
Thanks a lot, Aditya. :)
OMG dude you are one brave hearty rider, your footage up those beautiful snow capped mountains on those sunny mornings must have been amazing. You're VLOG's are so raw and genuine...you actually feel you're riding along...safe rides
Thanks a lot, Andre. It's great to be able to share these experiences and even more great to share the excitement of it all.
Got goosenbumps seeing that frozen lake...Sikkim's weather is always crazy & most unpredictable
omg omg... oh My god... what did I see ... Truly heaven on earth 😍😍.
The bgms used really relaxing and gives a very pleasant feel. This log looks more adventurous . in between I really thought we would miss Gurudongmar Lake. what view. what a memory. god bless u.
Thanks a lot, Prabhu. I was really disappointed when I thought I wouldnt get to see the lake, So grateful for the good weather the next day.
wow.. didn't realize such a beautiful place existed. spent the whole day watching your vlog. Very inspirational. keep it up.
Thanks for watching, Joseph. Hope you keep watching the channel.
the notification I get about your video is the best notification I get on my phone....true rider spirit...no nonsense....amazing work bro...hope u get full cooperation from weather on your further journeys too.. all the best...keep up the work...continue giving us such visual treats
The weather was quite notorious throughout my trip, but I managed to still get lucky with some places. Looking forward to share all those stories with you guys in the coming months. Thanks, Shravan
I wonder why i didnt find your channel till now. Its amazing, heartfelt, blissful and extremely motivating what you are doing. Your courage in following your passion and taking us on a journey with you gives life a new meaning.
I hope you never stop to amaze.. kudos brother
Thank you. Great words to hear/see.
Wow! Truly the best one yet. Just amazingly beautiful.
Thanks, Shafeer. Hope you do share it with other people too!
Sure. btw how do you manage all the expenses for a trip like this?
Amazing lake and what a view!!! Kudos to you for sharing!!!
That was so amazing and eye opening Rohith. I love riding but didn't know that the gear will get struck due to cold climate. Its a wow when you reaching that destination after much struggles.Like many bikers have faced such bad situations and at the end you will get a memorable scenery. Keep on riding.Its your destiny.
I had no idea that that could happen either. We live and learn. Hahaha. Thanks for watching :)
Eagerly waiting to be part of your next journey
Rohith one of the best moto VLogs ever!
What insane landscapes captured...I have started questioning myself sitting under the LED lit room with steel and glass foussard around me..that is this time well lived?
Your videos feel so free spirited and it really makes a lot sense in these 3 little words 'You are free'.
Keep up the good work and you are helping millions to awaken their passion which has been buried somewhere deep within.
Thanks again for your amazing work...its class apart!.
Cheers!
That's such a wonderfully warm comment to receive. Thank you. I spent several years buried beneath papers and glued to a desk to be able to be free (for however long it lasts). I'm sure your time will come too and you will make it count!
very few people have the courage to do what ur doing. to do wat they love to do. ur an inspiration. salute to u.
we are living our dream through ur videos.. thank you so much. waiting for more videos.
Thanks a lot, Dukhum Magu! :)
Rohith, I was kinda emotional and was happy for you when the video ended. It's incredible to see more viewers hitting your page and makes this long time admirer happier. Again, keep going!
Thanks for the continued support, as always :)
I think you are best ambassador of #incredibleindia.
Government must be thankful to you as after seeing your videos tourism will increase in these incredible but less travelled places.
keep it up.
you have an amazing sense of story telling.
Hahaha. Thanks a lot, Akash Pandey!
Hats of to you, friend.
this is the ultimate video in your recent Sikkim trip I have been waiting for.
frankly, I became a bit disappointed when you headed back to Lachen on your day 1. but surprisingly you didn't kneel down, your started the very next day. and you have made it with all the odds came on your way. proud of you.
but, one thing , when you decided to retry it for the 2nd day, you could have stayed in the Thangu valley village itself, instead of coming back to lachen. any way, its been a 'once in a lifetime' experience to grasp the beauty of Gurudongmar.
best of luck.
will wait for your next journey.
Thanks, Partha. I'm so glad I got better weather on the second day. It was such a great experience. Had to come back to Lachen because all my gear was there, Thangu net time.
Seen many moto vloggers videos but you are something different. Got goosebumps watching the video. Keep up the good work and god bless
Thanks for watching, Chirag! :)
Seeing your passion and determination to travel and explore........GOD made you wait another day so that he could serve u Gurudongmarg at its best.....
keep exploring..........
Hahaha. True that. Thanks, Vishnu!
What an experience just watching this Vlog! Great video mate......
Thanks a lot, Vamsi!
I too went there and really the sentence, "I was physically moving away from the lake but my mind was there." You said is very very true. Same thing happened to me. Till today it was my best ride.
Awesome will power you have !!.. and super inspiring video!!
Thanks a lot, Aditya
tough guy... you made your self unstoppable!! your spirit of travelling is really motivating....
Thanks, Akhil. The good weather on the second day was of great help!
inspiration all around sir. The best one of the #tourof2017!
My personal favourite too, Shivansh. Thanks for watching.
I patiently wait for your vlog and when you upload one, i am all exited. Your story telling and video and editing , music mixing ... simply puts me at peace and love the world a little bit more. :) thanks
Thanks a lot. Looking forward to sharing a lot more content in the coming months!
