🇮🇳 Pin Valley-Mudh village 🏍
Altitude: 3810 m /12,500 ft
I think at this point I am running out of words to describe the surroundings and how magnificent they truly are.
A month prior during our ride along the Indus River I was in literal tears, tears of joy. I felt an overwhelming feeling of contentment. I was in disbelief that in -this life- I was able to experience such and what makes this even more special, is being on the motobike. You get an unobstructed view of your surroundings and really get a true essence of being one with nature.
During our rides, I had alot of time to think. Think about my life and the people that are in it, even the people who are not present in my life anymore. I think about my occupations and my future plans for whenever Fabio and I return home.
I can safely say that if tomorrow I'm no more, I lived, I tried my utmost best to make the people that love and care for me, proud and I put 100% into everything I set out to do.
Ok, enough of this talk before I start crying again.
Hope you all enjoy this video of Pin Valley and don't forget to post your question/s in my previous video.

🇮🇳 Key Monastery & Beyond 🏍
A beautiful monastery at where His Holiness the Dali Lama has a private suite. This monastery is home to around 175 monks and constructed on a hillside at 4200m.
Not many people are aware that private rooms and dorms are available on the compound where you can overnight and enjoy the tranquility.
During meal time we had the pleasure of meeting a fun bunch of people whose also traveling, most of which are locals exploring their country.
In the group photo is Tanvi, Sonali, Aatm, Ryan and myself.
Aatm stars in an Netflix series, made in India, called Jamtara. Be sure to check it out, very well produced!
After our time spent at Key Monastery, it was time to move on, we overnighted in Kibber and Losar, both are small villages but whilst in Key, I was very keen on visiting the opposite side of the spiti river and was searching for a place where we can stay, just to enjoy this beautiful valley from a different perspective.
We stumbled across the quaint country homestay and what a charming place it was. A traditional mud house with modern design.
With time remaining on our Inner Line permit, we made a stop in a truly magical place...stay tuned to see where we visited on our next video!

The last days of my 2000km walk, from Milan to Porto. The hardest time still have to come.

♨️ Chumathang hot spring 🌨
Altitude: 3950m 🇮🇳
During our travels, we visited a hot spring and couldn't resist trying something fun. This natural wonder can be found on the banks of the Indus River in the small village of Chumathang. The ride to get there was a cold one, we were faced with wind speeds up to 60km coming down the valley, so much that the bike was being slightly pushed, so this was the perfect pit stop.
I would say that our choice of instant food was perfect for the weather, nothing like a good corn soup and callaloo to keep us warm.
Using the spring's natural heat, I made instant corn soup and callaloo, bringing the flavors of home to this faraway place.
It's the perfect blend of convenience and flavor right at my fingertips and not to mention it's super lightweight, so easy to carry around. I admire Life products, it's not something I would use on an everyday basis but when I'm traveling, it's a must.
The music you hear is traditional ladakhi folk song.

🇮🇳 Keylong to Key (Spiti Valley) 🏍
🇮🇳 Keylong to Key (Spiti Valley) 🏍
Our initial plan was to enter Spiti from Keylong avoiding Manali altogether but our homestay host father, who works at the police station, informed us that, the road was only opens to 4x4s and inpassable to bikes because of the massive water flow due to snow melt. So we had to take the long way there!
We organised our Inner Line permit at Reckong Peo and we were on our way to Spriti Valley.
Spiti starts at 3250m in Tabo and climbs to 4200m at Key and 4587m at the highest postal office in the world at Komic.
Be sure to look out for the 2nd part of this video as we go exploring more of what Spiti Valley had to offer.

Not 1 but 2 high mountain passes.
🏍Tanglang La altitude 5,328 m/ 17,480 ft
Baralacha La altitude 4,850 m/15,910 ft🇮🇳
The first day was alot of dust, traffic, freaking cold and a night in Sarchu.
Second day, even more traffic and coasting on an empty fuel tank 🤦♀️
I, like almost everyone, hate being stuck in traffic, but my tolerance is on a different level. I literally jumped of the bike and started walking and get picked up on the way.
Most traffic congestion are caused by 2 trucks trying to pass eachother, in the opposite direction and neither wants to wait for the other to clear the way, so most time they end up jammed against eachother.
I was so upset one time that I denounced my Indian heritage because no way "my people" can be acting so haha.
The night in Sarchu was spent in Lotus campsite, and ain't nothing zen about that place.
We were in bed by 7pm and around 9pm this little old lady came busting in (no idea what she was trying to say but our response was Nahin) and 3 times again in the morning, starting at 5:30am.
The door had no locks nor did she knock before entering.
Not only did she do this to us, but a couple that was staying in the room across from us also. For giggles we decided to go into their room too and that's how we met Jenna and Rahul.
When I thought the nightmare was over, we ran out of fuel and coasted for about 30km.
Riding in India is not for beginners 🙅♀️

Welcome to Thiksey Monastery 🇮🇳
We're about 22km from Leh at 3600m this monastery is known as the Mini Potala palace which resembles the original Potala that's located in Lhasa,Tibet.
As we entered the temple, we were greeted by this impressive statue, future Buddha. This statue is 15meters tall. The high statue of Maitreya, the largest such statue in Ladakh, covering two stories of the building!
Later that evening our gracious host at our homestay made us the most delicious chicken momos with the help of Jimmy (the dog).
Hope you guys enjoyed the tour of Thiksey Monastery ❤️

The highest motorable road in the world 🌏
Umlingla pass [Altitude 19,300ft/ 5882m]
Pangong Lake to Hanle.
What a glorious time spent at Pangong Lake, this can easily be the most beautiful place I've ever been to.
India's government is pumping money into road infrastructure so hopefully in the next couple years, going to these areas should be easy. As most people would say, Ladakh is not for beginners. Riding there has been a challenge and most times when we were on the real s**t roads, my phone was safely tucked away and I'm holding on for dear life haha.
The best part of traveling is meeting people and we have made so many friends along the way. Some were documented, others not.
Enjoy this ride with us and what unexpected events occurred during our trip with Sandeep. Big thank you to the Indian Army for their assistance and hospitality, yet again 🙏

The destruction is overwhelming, but the spirit of the island's community remains unbroken. As we look at these scenes of devastation, let us remember the strength and resilience of those who call this place home.

🇮🇳 Mulbekh ➡️ Lamayuru ➡️ Leh 🏍
Something about visiting holy places gives you an instant sense of tranquility.
The terrain where Lamayuru Monastery is situated resembles that of the moon, that's where it got its name, "Moonland of Ladakh" it's so striking when you spot it from the road below.
Hope you enjoy the vistas.
In my next video, you'll see what we have been up to in Leh and where we are off to next.

During my 2000km walk from Milan to Porto. I'm finally on a holiday in the Pyrenees mountain.
What an experience, from eating cherries to soaking in a hot spring. This is the life.
Taking about Life, be sure to check out their products. I had the pleasure of sharing their product with this lovely family, a taste of Trinidad, Dhal and Tomato Choka.

🇮🇳 Dah to Mulbekh 🏍
Mulbekh Monastery is found 40 km from Kargil, Ladakh. The origin is some 800 yrs ago, atop a ridge 656 ft uphill from road level, rising to 11,495 ft.
The most impressive is the Maitreya Buddha scultped out of a solid rock, the statue is 9m (30 ft), dating from 1400 BCE.
The hospitality of the people is amazing, and we were invited to eat with the monks for their lunch break during their day long ceremony.
The audio that you hear in this video is a live recording of the monks at the Monastery during a special puja that lasted the entire day.
