Just wish this form of cycle touring had been available in the 1960's, because I would have done it then. However its on my bucket list and although I am 75 I can still dream and watch this video. Well done both of you.

Did this same journey earlier this year on a Royal Enfield Classic 500 from Manali to Leh and then over khardung la to Nubra Valley and then all the back. One of the best experiences of my life. Beauty on a scale I could hardly imagine. Huge respect for doing it on bicycles.

This is an insanely beautiful and inspiring video. To cycle to the top of the world is quite a feat. I am asthmatic and have severe breathing problems even in normal terrain but guess what, I have decided to train myself for this one. If I need to sign off from the world, better do it in style.

Hey Zo it's just a matter of acclimatisation, the major town near by Khardungla(the world highest road), is generally used by travelers to acclimatise .... I myself am a chronic asthmatic and have been to that road and beyond 4 times.... And also have trekked beyond 20K...... You need to give your body a bit of time and need to be in a balanced shape with right fat percentage in the body to keep it at minimum fatigue risk..... But definitely doable....

Guys, I just had to watch this once and I'm frickin blown away at not only the amount of physical stress you went through but the fact that you guys took time out of the day to get these GORGEOUS SHOTS! You got yourself another subscriber! I'll spread the word. Awesome video guys!

this is one of my favourite videos of all time, seriously guys! extremely motivating! eagerly waiting for new videos, it's been a long time since you've uploaded something.

I was looking after Tony Anderson music and I found this. Amazing cut with beautiful shots and music. I want to do videos like this in future :-) Greetings from Czech

the best thing i have seen on internet today

beautifully edited and some of the shots you got were phenomenal considering it was just the two of you! The length was just right to watch casually, heck I could go in for a longer video but the pace and soundtrack were on point. It's weird when you get to inhospitable places on our own planet, it really puts into perspective the finite resources we need to flourish and yet humans have been for centuries

So inspirational! Another great production guys. Makes me want to go out and have an adventure.

Amazing. We took some of these roads but not by cycle ;-) it seem to be very hard. Ladakh is so beautifull.

This video, along with the great music, never gets old.

Another great video. You guys are living the dream. Keep them coming!

A standing ovation to this video and to your beautiful incredible endeavour! I've done this route by car... unbelievable you did this arduous route by cycle all the way to India's highest motorable roads!!

so inspirational! I was going to save up money, but this video was my breaking point. I would rather travel and enjoy the nature. thank you so much! this video has brought me to tears. just beautiful!

Awesome work on camera there. Equally nice editing. Been there, done that. Oxygen is a concern after all. Does not let you sleep much.

The best highlight reel of the Manali-Leh highway I've seen, great stuff! My partner and I did the Manali-Leh highway September 2015, topping off at the Khardung La on our last day. Was an incredible experience and made me appreciate being at sea level, headaches constantly, tingles all over from the diamox. The people are wonderful and hearing the encouraging shouts of Julay from passing bikes, cars, trucks and miscellaneous vehicles gave us the encouragement we needed to keep going.

The amazing road can't beat amazing men, what an incredible journey!

this is insane, you inspire me to do this. Can't wait to start my own adventure!!!

Great video. Really high production quality guys. Enjoyed this tons. Thanks for posting!

incredible video ( awesome photography, the music, its perfect)!... but more than that, Im inspired by the incredible ride that you have done... I so so wanna do this too ! Thankx guys... this awesome production made the whole thing so much more exciting !

This takes me back and makes my feet itch for adventure. I did this with my boyfriend in 2013 also Spitti and Zanskar (put bikes on horse) valleys . You have produced a beautiful film. Muzza29 my boyfriend is 57 you don't have to be young

a cycling video is more special for me than a motor cycle

When you mentioned the oxygen I sat on the couch and had to breathe. Fantastic video.

Awesome adventure, gorgeous footage, perfect soundtrack! Top Inspirational stuff!

Mate, loved the feeling I got from this video.. like a huge build up and then release when you got to the top. I don't cycle but this is an amazing place that I've visited on my motorbike :) very well filmed and put together. Cheers from Australia! You deserve more subscribers.

This was amazing guys. You're fantastic story tellers.

I love the don't-run-me-over sacred cow defense mechanism.

You took some really amazing shots. My head has blown away by your photography skills.

Good message for us gear heads who think you need the latest and the greatest to do a trip like that.

Your video was inspiration to me. I completed the same trip last year from July 12th to 24th July through YHAI. I completely loved it. Thanks North South Team. Without this video, I wouldn't have completed the Manali - Leh - Khardongala Cycling Expedition.

You guys are absolutely to crazy but also an inspiration for all us to live life to the fullest.

Dear north south group. I am watching your videos from last 2 years i dont get tired by watching them again and again. Your videos inspired me to buy a bicycle and pursue what i love.

I don’t know why.. I keep coming back to this video. Hands-down, my favorite video on KZread :-)

An incredible journey and feat of will and endurance, beautifully shot and produced. Very inspirational stuff and thank you! I've had the good fortune to trek the Himalayas several times (Mera Peak, Tamang Heritage Trail) and can't imagine how hard it would be to cycle at those altitudes! No doubt this has laid some powerful foundations for you both to take into other aspects of your life (including perhaps some restlessness...)! Cheers from Sydney, Dave

you 2 are just awesome !! Simply inspirational !!

Just so perfect!! I wish to make it someday like you two. Inspiring trip.

everything is epic, the scenery, the adventure, the filmaking and soundtrack, just awesome

This is the awesome traveling I ever seen... What a great spirit!

One of the best travel video..or I will say, the BEST travel video I ever saw... Thanks guys

ohhh.. u guys bought the cycle from my locality...... when was all this shot...its really a great video... appreciate tha :D

You guys nailed it. Deserve salute and respect, this video gives me goosebumps. Hatsoff to u guys

Went there few years ago, spent 18 hours on a cramped jeep from manali to leh. Which was really tiring for us..but its all worth it! Thinking of going there once again in couple years.. maybe on a bike this time.. great video guys! Great place too

I have no words.....you guys are real superheros...love from India.....I am crying after seeing your video

I did it just from Leh,on a rental bike...hahahaha 2008 on my honeymoon. Congrats for the video and the nice editing. I love It. Big hug from Basque Country

Wow, great film and great job you have done!

What a beautiful video!!!!! hats of to you guys.

Laura and Ashley and you couples nailed it. I belong to that part of India where highest motorable road is there. I do cycling, I know how hard cycling in this harsh area, you couples really did great job. Thumbs-up. 👍

You guyss!!! Such an INSPIRING video. Will you be doing an essentials video on gear/ etc? Cannot wait to see more. Impeccable work!

absolutely incredible video--great work guys!

Thank you for the great video. You inspired me brother.

When every Indian out there is donning the Bullet these days to take a trip to Ladakh, these lads do it on a bike. Amazing feat. Beautiful journey and landscape.

Wow a very beautifully shot and well edited video..... Totally loved it..... Cycling at that height with very thin oxygen ...Wow!!! oh man its so motivating ....

Beautiful edit and an awesome journey captured.

Wonderful. These are the kind of videos that inspired me years ago and continues to do so. Thank you for taking us with you. Oh the things I could give to go on journeys like this. This is one of my dreams. I wish to go. I wish to do this. So much. It's just so hard from someone who came from a non privileged family in a small group of islands in the northernmost part of a developing country. Anyway, thank you for this wonderful and inspiring film. I almost cried.

Great adventure, thanks for uploading young fellas !!

Great to hear that you are planning to go cycling in France and Italy. I am more fimilar in France. if I have to recommend one, its for sure the mythical mountain Mont Ventoux, with the appropiate nickname "Giant of the Provence". Nearby you also have some short climbs, like the Gorges du Nesque. Last summer I went to Briancon, where I did some nice and though climbs: Col du Izoard, Angel and one of my favourite the Col de la Bonette with. But their are a lot of other beautiful climbs. The great thing about cycling in the Alps (apart of the view) is that everyone feels the same pain during the climb but more important the satisfaction and feeling of pride when reaching the top. Also great is meeting different cyclist from all over the world and hearing their stories. I can’t wait to go to the mountains this summer. Enjoy your trip.
