Sir kasa experience rha hai apka club Mahindra Holidays membership ka because i am narvous in negative of you tub
I have been a member since 2007 At that time we didn’t have as many options and apps like MMT and Booking.com which have really simplified hotel bookings and we have really good options. My intention of taking the membership was always that I would definitely plan at least 2 vacations every year in order to take benefit of the membership. And I am very serious when I say, we need to plan. Club Mahindra is not for those who decide last minute vacations. Their booking windows open upto 3 months in advance and your best chance of finding availability at the resort you want is immediately as the bookings open. Their resorts are usually located at off beat locations, away from main city/market areas with the idea of being able to enjoy a relaxed vacation. If street shopping, sight seeing etc are your top priorities, then probably best to book at such a location and not Club Mahindra. If you are looking for a place to relax, away from the hustle and bustle and provide a fun experience for your family wrt food and entertainment, then definitely go for it! 👍🏻 I have also seen such videos about Club Mahindra experience and I think it would be best if I make one video based on my own experiences with ClubM!
When was the trip planned ? Is it still a problem going to Goa ? we are planning for 15th June 2024 - tomorrow !
route is still choked up at several sections across the highway. it will take time for the projects to get completed. Suggest to take this route from Karad onwards. Will surely save some time and during the daytime, this route should be fine
Hello, what do you call the bracket for the front plate?
not sure which bracket you are referring to.
Is it beginner friendly? For someone transitioning from scooters? (I’m 24, 5’7, 65kgs and ride safely and maturely). I can ride a bike (learnt to ride a month ago on 125cc) but I consider myself a beginner. Will the HDx440 WEIGHT be too much for a first time bike?
i believe so… i found the bike easy to ride and didn’t really seem to have a steep learning curve. The engine offers a relaxing ride and is ready to punch out power if you need, especially on the highways! Since you’ve started with a 125, this will be a rather high jump to 440cc but given the nature of the engine and the ride dynamics, I’m fairly certain that you will be able to manage. Get a test ride, that’s the best way to decide on the bike. Make sure those guys at the HD showroom explain all the features and controls and you should be all set! 👍🏻
Sir ji! Uss jacket mein ka neck mein jo pipe jese hai wo kya cheez hai ?
Hi! ye jacket mein 2 litre ka hydration bladder rakh sakte hain on the back. Ye pipe usi ka hai. To agar aap ye jacket lete hai to alag se hydration backpack lene ki zaroorat nai hai. Ye bahut useful hai kyun ke long rides pe aksar hum paani peena taal dete hai ya bhool jate hai. Agar aapke jacket mein hi paani ho to aap yaad se paani piyoge! ☺
Excellent review. This is probably going to be my next jacket. I wonder how your experience has been over the year of owning this jacket. Have you faced any quality issues? How is strength and build quality been?
this is an excellent jacket. Ive put almost 20000 kms on it on various rides including Pune to Ladakh. This jacket supported all my rides. It is showing signs of wear now which is expected when you use them on multi day rides. I didn’t get any quality issues
@@thewanderlustride Great to hear. Thank you. I have an 8 year old jacket that is showing its age and it is black in colour. I want something in lighter colour. You think the light grey/off white version will help to stay cool on hot days?
@@UtpalBhatt I don't really think that the colour matters when you are riding. When you are stationery, certainly a lighter coloured jacket would be cooler but on a ride, a well ventilated summer jacket would work best. The Stealth Air Pro is a summer jacket with lots of mesh panels. Wearing it on top of thin base layers such as a thin compression tshirt or the rynox vapor pro base layer would give the best comfort on a ride.
@@thewanderlustride thanks. Useful info
Very costly food
not really
Hi From where can I buy this lighter?
they’re available at many of the bike accessories shops and also online from www.maddog.co.in
I have already booked the bike but I’m still confused regarding the riding posture. Do you think it will be difficult to manage the posture after shifting from a naked bike? I took a test ride and I didn’t feel very comfortable as I have never ridden a sports bike before.
I definitely don’t want to discourage you from buying this bike. Here’s my experience though. I own a Duke since last 2.5 yrs. That itself is not a very comfortable bike but I have gotten used to it. So after my test ride of the Aprilia, when I got back to my Duke… the riding position felt so much more comfortable and I was sure that this is exactly what I want from a bike! 😊
@@thewanderlustride thank you for that clarification. I’m just in love with the bike so hopefully I will get used to it.
One day ❣️
so true!
Nice review. Nice video!
Thanks!
Nubra Valley feels like a place from fantasy land. A melting pot of culture and civilizations. New fan from Bangalore, stay in touch😊
Thank you! Truly this place is out of this world!
Good Review
Thank you!
Which city is this
This is in Pune City ♥️
It was so awful to see you didn't have the freedom of a test ride. You were led by a guy in front who actually decided the test route, how on earth can someone decide. And this bike costs a lot of money. Good luck with whatever you want to do. There are a lot of options now with 400 to 500 segment. Pulsar 400 z i, triumph 400x Hero maverick 440 of course on the same platform.
well, it’s good that I can get a test ride at all! 😊 until I make it big on KZread, this is the best way I can bring my experience with the bike on the screen! Someday, maybe I will be able to get the bike all to myself and can share a full experience across a 50-100 kms ride!
@@thewanderlustride That truly would be by far the best that can happen to you. And would love to see a first 100 to 200 kms ride review, with all the technicalities explained. And would expect to see this laid back and put some comment, and hopefully get a reply from you. But still I would like for you to check out Hero Maverick 440 as it comes from same platform, but with a different riding triangle I suppose. I don't know much about it.
@@srinathiyengar.mudgal Definitely... I have 3 bikes from Hero I would like to test ride and the Maverick is for sure on the list!
Nice explanation and review
Thank you! Trying to be better everyday!
I’m a proud X440 owner from 6 months… And I think it is the best bike in the upwards of 400cc motorcycle segment. Absolutely love it
Awesome! Every reason to be proud of owning such an Amazing machine! For those who think that this is a fake Harley... please do test ride it! I think that both Hero and HD India have successfully captured the essence of the HD experience in a bike like this and made it at a so much more accessible price point!
Glad to be the first viewer. I think I made a history now. This will stay forever 😊
Awesome! Hope you liked the video!
@@thewanderlustride First like is also mine 😊
how did you show the speedometer and ghat route on the video? please.
I’ve recorded this video with a GoPro with the GPS on so it captures this telemetry data. Using the Quik app on an iPhone, I can add these layers to the video like the speedometer and the map data.
@@thewanderlustride Thanks, keep vlogging n posting, keep it up.
Keep doing your thing ❤
Thanks!
Which bike are you planning to buy?
😊 let me test ride a few more bikes and then i will reveal
❤ mama
Did you take any special precautions for bike , in case of corrosion.
Yes. I always keep a can of WD40 handy and spray it on known rusty places. In general the quality and fit and finish of the bike is great and I don't need to take any care. Only places I needed to really use it are the chain, the after market Zana tail rack and the custom brackets fabricated for holding the Maddog Alpha aux lights.
Nice Video ❤
Thanks!
Any review on hotel rooms or any room.video or photos? Room rent too? Safe for family stay?
which place are you looking for hotel? I basically booked last minute using MMT almost all through the ride and I’ve mentioned the names of the hotels I stayed at along with a small glimpse of the rooms most of the times in all my videos
kargil is actually very close to loc, but u r seeing a wrong interpretation of the map
Loc is still halfway inside Kashmir. I used to think it is somewhere near the actual historical border
Is this better than Varca, also how’s june to visit here?
The Assonora Resort is a modern establishment, outshining the 15-year-old Varca with its fresh amenities and design. It’s crafted by ClubM to be a year-round destination, offering a diverse buffet selection and extensive recreational facilities, including a large swimming pool and water park, ideal for family visits. Despite being a 45-minute drive from the beach, the resort promises an enjoyable experience regardless of the season, as I experienced a pleasant stay during the rainy month of September.
@@thewanderlustride great, thank you so much for answering dude Also can I know that did you rent a self drive car and also the cost of the buffets available Will help me plan my trip more efficiently Thanks again
@@gurditsinghbons I don't know about renting a car as I always travel by my own car. Bikes are available for rent though at reasonable rates. At ClubM Assonora, rates for a 2 meal buffet package for 3 days is approx 4900 per person.
@@thewanderlustride ohh right sorry, Thank you replying back, helped a lot!
Superb Unmesh...i think you had the best time of your life all alone riding through these lovely place no one to bother , just you your bike , the road and the majestic mountains. 👍👏
True!... it was an amazing experience every biker needs to have at least once in their lifetime! I'm just happy that I'm also able to share my experience over KZread! Especially just as this year's Ladakh season is warming up!
Did you experience any taxi union issues with private car or rented cars?
in Goa? no… not at all… I’ve been travelling there since 2009 by my own car or bike and have rented a bike there several times. You will not get any Ola/Uber over there but there’s no problem with renting a car or bike. Very easily available.
Hi Bro..You uploded on 22nd April.. Can you let me know on which date you crossed zozila pass..coz we heard that bikers are not allowed in zozila from 18th April onwards till date due to avalanche... Pleaseshare some info on that...
Yes... as you can see in the video, the road is pretty dangerous! These videos are from my trip in last week Aug 2023. Zojila should open for bikers from last week May onwards. Just follow the online forums like Ladakh Return on FB for the latest updates.
Amazing 👏
Thank you so much!
Soothing and peaceful vibes. It will make you sad at the time of check out you will have best trip of your life if you visit here😊
Bestest resort of goa
so true! ive planned a trip again nxt month! 👍🏻
Can you changed Duke 200bs6 seat ? Or modified seat , I have also duke 200bs6 but on long ride seat are not comfortable any solution on that?
i’ve got 1” memory foam layer added on top of stock seat so that makes it a little bit more comfortable but even so on a long ride I need to straddle every 30 mins and take a break every 2 hours.
@@thewanderlustride Sir Then What about gel seat or air seat.
@@dynamicmusicworld i have an air seat… used it only once… this extra foam works fine but best way is to be active on the bike, take timely breaks, straddle whenever you feel fatigued… i have completed longest 900 kms distance in a single day this way
Best route from belgaum to goa save 1hr but tikari ghat night little risky and road was good
yeah… not recommended at night but really beautiful during the day!
Lovely 👍

@@thewanderlustride Me too from Pune ❤️❤️
Awesome vlog Unmesh👍👍
Thank you! Stay tuned for a new video every Friday evening!
Good one Unmesh 👍
Thank you!
So refreshing it is mama❤😮
Thank you!
This ghat is super risky and there is board which says if involved in accident you are not eligible to claim insurance
😁 it has narrow roads for sure but the insurance part is not valid for sure, for example we have the Kolli Hills with it’s 70 narrow hairpin bends which is 100% more risky, not to mention… several other roads including all the high passes of Ladakh! So don’t worry, just go ahead and experience it! 😉
Nice❤
Thanks 🔥
Must have been a memorable ride. Ciao
Absolutely!!!
