This is motorcycle Adventure at its best a  combination of challenging Trails history   and culture and meeting inspiring people in this  fifth episode we take on some challenging trails   as we prepare to leave the Mustang Valley  and the world’s second highest swing Bridge awaits

An early start with a walk through the ancient  city of Lo Manthang felt like stepping back into   a captivating Journey Through the corridors of  time as we strolled we found ourselves immersed in   the heart of the former Kingdom of Lo unraveling  the mysteries of its Rich history and cultural  

Tapestry the worn cobblestone streets whispered  Tales of a 14th Century City that once thrived as   the heartbeat of trade along the historic salt  route connecting Tibet and India protected by   weathered walls the city revealed its resilience  through intricate mud brick structures and narrow  

Alleys that bore witness to a cultural heritage  standing the test of time over the centuries   this city had evolved into a sanctuary for  Tibetan Buddhism adorned with monasteries and   religious institutions that to this day tells  the tale of this City’s profound spiritual Journey today we’re leaving Lo  Manthang and heading south to   the Luri Cave Monastery we’ve picked  a pretty challenging route through   some spectacular ancient landscape but we  need fuel and in this ancient city that   is purchased by the lemonade bottle oh  who woohoo how’s that beautiful day for Riding stunning thanks for visit  thank you Lo Manthang that’s magnificent there the boys keep your toes up those  little tiny bushes are as hard as a rock what a brilliant trial look [Music] what is happened oh I can see a front  wheel wash out there that a rear wheel rear

Wheel where I up we got if you can see it but there’s  a little peak right up on the top   of that Hill that’s where we’re  going now got to get the Reps up that one nice I don’t want to slip the  clutch if I can help it should  

Pick up speed now that is amazing  how that engine just ticked over then DJ’s had to push it let’s just  get him to wait he stopped there yeah   let’s get up to there sure the  rid line starts let’s go boss oh Yeah all right I think the  infields will get there be yeah the to bloody Elephant I need a whiskey from you need to go back a bit Nugget y give a bit of  about just leave [Music] me yep yep it’s in   gear now okay you can leave that yeah the CR  bur Birch lesson and G backwards use the Chris  

Birch lesson 101 when in gear use the clutch  as a brake the clutch good on you Chris we’re   applying your knowledge at 4,200 M want you  to go back to that point I want you to ride  

It like it’s a rental bike I wouldn’t want  oops it is a rental bike yeah these infields   they’ve chugged up this hill Enfield to reach  in this hill I’d say so Enfield scramming it   we’re scramming it scramming it I guarantee  Enfeld will be up here yeah well it doesn’t  

Does make me feel so bad now I’m just a few  meters down there upside down up now he’s up   downside up he’s the right way up now that’s  them there yes you reckon we could have got   the bikes up here no way that’s range yeah  but there’s CL that’s Dave filming this is  

What we do for views like this get you motorbike  Adventures from the top of the [Music] world the   enormity of the landscape look at that little  motorcyclist over there he’s come up this Gorge [Music] go nestled in the breathtaking  Landscapes of upper Mustang the mystical   Luri Cave Monastery dating back to the  11th century in the Tibetan Empire is   a sacred site for Buddhists as we approach  the first thing to steal our attention are  

The Lammergeier big birds with a 3 m wingspan  riding the air currents along the valley Cliffs   Nosh makes an incredible Discovery two nests  in the cliff wall each with baby Lammergeier   a rare find considering the declining  global population of these Majestic

Birds he’ll do the he goes into the [Music] nest  here comes another one but what strikes me is the   familiarity of the birds with the monastery’s  routine as we climb towards the temple one   bird flies in for a closeup seemingly inquisitive  about our visit the Lively comings and goings of  

The monastery appear to be a part of the bird’s  daily life and we were about to understand why   give Monastery yeah it’s name as LBA yes so we’re  heading towards the you can see the up there yeah  

Wow I need to sit hey Wi-Fi password oh not a WiFi  password I’m going to order an Uber P me back down   we need a u you don’t have to use the camera as  an excuse nsh we know you’re tired come [Laughter] on my name is

We spoke with Buddhist Nun Lapa who amongst  other responsibilities is the guardian of the   Luri monastery Lapa committed to becoming a  Buddhist nun at the age of 12 and is now 35   years of age her hope is to stay at this Monastery  her whole life. The life and responsibilities of a  

Tibetan nuns are intertwined with the pursuit  of spiritual enlightenment community service   and the preservation of cultural heritage  Lapa confirmed the Lammergeier role at the   monastery they snacked on leftovers from pussa or  religious ceremonies and they played their role in  

Sky burials where the deceased family members of  The Local District are placed on the valley floor   to be consumed by the birds and remains that  aren’t taken are later burnt but another great day it’s not just the landscape  of Nepal it’s the culture it’s the

History it’s the spirituality of the  place you know it’s it it just has so   much to offer and then to do it on a  bike that’s really laid back it’s not   a racer it’s immerses you in the landscape  look at that we pop up there those ancient

Ruins yeah I feel privileged coming to  Nepal but I feel doubly privilege doing it   on a motorbike just taking my time you know  and Bam you come around a corner there’s a   stooper there’s this huge landscape a  water crossing you know it’s just got

Everything that’s what we need  there’s the boys they’re heading Away [Music] we’re heading to the revered  pilgrimage site of Muktinath a place of   profound significance for both Hindus and  Buddhists Nosh is eager to explore the   main Temple a Sacred Space dedicated to  Lord Vishnu what a beautiful day getting   up to Muktinath now here’s the eagle  as [Music] well [Music] uh-oh another  

Swinging Bridge got a steep entry into this  one [Applause] down God those rocks move nugget don’t you to all it on the way up  looks pretty steep exit [Applause] [Applause] [Music] too okay so they we are at this Temple  called Muktinath uh it’s supposed to be a  

Very holy Holy Temple in the sense that Mukti  means Liberation from the cycle of birth and   death yeah um and you know if you believe  in reincarnation everybody is striving for   Mukti as in to stop coming back being born  again and again so this Temple and this spot  

Represents a place where you can achieve  that there’s 108 Taps uh that correlates   to 27 constellations into four sectors so the  number 120 108 so that 108 number holds quite   a bit of significance in Hinduism so we’ve  got to go through these 108 Taps and then  

There’s two little ponds over there that you  can see and we’ve got to go through there as   well and that apparently purifies you and uh  grants you MTI all this water is coming from  

A glacial stream so it’s pretty cold and uh yeah  I’d like to like to take a run through it off off Strong I’m not going to come back  again making sure of that hang on yeah I got you pilgrims hold a deep belief that immersing  themselves in the waters of these 108 spouts   purifies them of sins and guides them towards  spiritual salvation the sanctity of this  

Ritual underscores the reverence attached to  this sacred [Music] location well done boys Cleansed with a mix of emotions we say goodbye to  the desolate yet spiritually Rich Mustang   District Nosh has two more bucket list items  exploring Chitwan National Park and taking a   two-day break from biking for a trek  aimed at capturing Mount Everest from  

A mountainous Vantage Point 60 km away  however a single obstacle stands in our   way the world’s second highest swing  Bridge a challenge that simply must be conquered so one bike at a time  yeah one at a time come along with I don’t think more than two  will be advisable there he goes up  

There go all right you go BJ let’s set this little go hello that is a suspension bridge as I moved out onto the bridge Mother  Earth fell away spectacularly I was suspended   hundreds of feet above the valley floor and I  felt as if I was in a helicopter but yet I was  

Strangely reassured by the demeanor of The  Villages and school kids as they made their   way across the bridge with less concern  than if they were walking down the foot path suspension bridges play a crucial role  in Nepal due to its challenging topography  

They are beautifully designed and in this  example improved connectivity between the   villages this bridge SL travel times by over  2 hours and made schooling goods and services accessible hello hello hello
