A 4-month long SOLO MOTORCYCLE TRIP | North-East India
1 motorcycle. 1 traveller. 4 months. 15,000 kilometres. 1 epic adventure.
In 2017, I did an ambitious solo motorcycle trip from Chennai in Southern India, all the way to the North-East of India and back. I set off without a real plan and simply went where I felt like going or where locals recommended that I go. Treacherous terrain, unfavourable weather, breakdowns and several other misadventures had nothing on the incredible places, culture and people that I encountered on this trip. I cant even begin to describe in words the incredible places I went and wonderful things that happened on this journey. So, I've made this 12-minute video to give you all a glimpse into that epic adventure.
If you are someone who loves travel or motorcycles (or both), then I hope that you will find something to connect with in this video. There are 18 more detailed vlogs from this trip on my channel. So, if you haven't already watched those, please do.

Ure awesome man. Have been exploring north east. Can relate to ure experiences. Such a beautiful corner of this country yet so underated.
No costly bikes , no over actings , no show offs , just a simple man with a simple stories , that's where I connect with this person's video , That's TOLLFREETRAVELLER for you !

Avinash Avi no harm in having a costly bike from own hard earned money, no harm in over acting if that's a part of one's personality, no harm in showing off if that appeals one... At the end of the day we should acknowledge the fact that EVERYONE is different and has different stories to tell and in their own different way... I could sense a distaste in your comment regarding other moto vloggers, just embrace the fact that everyone is different and it's OKAY to be that. Spread love and positivity. (I'm a big fan of Toll free traveller BTW) CHEERS✌️

nikki oberoi I didn't ask your comment and opinion bro ! N I didn't even mention about other vloggers , I didn't even compare , and moreover man , what I like about our very own ROHITh , I said , did I ask anyones advice , if I had made a negative comment on other vloggers , then u shd say all the hard earned money ! The vlogging isn't a small task , I need to express and connect the audience , which ROHITH is doing very well, think before you comment down on others , and if u taste any distress , let it be with you , no need your Gyan here ! Have a great days ahead

Avinash Avi bro? What made you decide I'm a guy? Also my apologies if my comment got you all rattled. Your comment actually screamed analogy because you mentioned costly bikes, over acting and show offs, so there was a definite analogy made by you in some sense. Maybe because of this I felt it as a distaste for other motovloggers. But as you said that your comment was not intended for anyone so I apologise for the misunderstanding :) I'm glad you don't feel that way. Also, we can have a civil conversation in the comment section, no need to be unnecessarily abrasive with people in the comment section. Peace. ✌️😊

nikki oberoi Respect to you bro ! But let me be clearer , Even I pointed out the same , basically my first comment intended to focus on what positive things this person is carrying out ! It's easy to get motivated , cuz everyone can't afford a super bike to tour along the long stretches , but when u end up with this channel , u can even tell yourself , one day I might be doing the same ! That's what the so called hope is needed bro , in life ! And I also do apologise, I might b harsh a bit , cuz I didn't have wrong opinion on others , nor my comment was to degrade others , but I defenitely do have a very great opinion on this person , cuz I met him , and also he responds so kindly all the time ! That's all bro !

I prefer watching your videos over other Indian motor bloggers, simply because you travel like an ordinary person, without using costly super bikes or staying in lavish hotels. You represent what the majority of Indian travelers seek, things which money cannot buy. Good job brother !

To me personally, Rohith is the "Stanley Kubrick" of Indian vlogging culture! You're an auteur and a trendsetter by all means; from your editing, it's clearly visible that you've put your heart and soul to bring the best out of it. This may sound naive, but we got to agree that a majority of the vloggers are yet to contribute something that Rohith has accomplished in the last few months. You're an inspiration for many out there; Narration, photography and editing; you've pioneered them all. Your creation and contribution will be remembered for years. I would like to quote your tweet "Traveled over a 1000 kms to meet this man. You're an inspiration" - when you met another legend "Alex Chacon" in Mumbai. Someday in future, I will sure see a status/tweet by a fellow motorcyclist paying a tribute to you in the same way as you did to Alex. You're indeed an inspiration Rohith! Thank you.
