Some years ago when I did my Roadtrip through Argentina, they also stopped us quite often in Catamarca. We eventually asked them why and they track where you are going and relay your information to the next station. As the area is so remote, this is one of the few ways they can keep track of missing vehicles/accidents, etc. Quite often as we approached the checkpoints they would already know who we were and ask us about our drive- similar to how he knew you'd gone to Piedra Pomez.

I dont watch the news anymore, I get home and straight to youtube for my Itchyboots fix of happiness and adventure. Your enthusiasm brightens up my life. Thank you.

I saw Basanti at Brussels Expo today :P. Looks in great shape!

I live at sea level, so it’s difficult looking straight up into the sky and thinking of Noraly riding 4-5km directly above me!

I think that Itchy Boots is kind of „Instant Happiness". 28 minutes full of beauty, i'm completely blown away.

It makes me laugh when I see the "weekend warriors" on huge, and hugely expensive, adventure bikes. Meanwhile, Noraly and Dhanno have more of an adventure every day than they will have in a year! Ride safe and thank you for another wonderful video.

Breathtaking remoteness ... colours ... silence ... magical landscapes... all conquered with just 24.5 Horsepower! I'm sold on these little Himalayans !

I've been seeing comments about Noraly and her Himalayan on the motorcycle sites for a long time now, but for some reason I've never actually checked it out. I happened to come across this episode while surfing KZfaq today and after watching for 10 minutes I'm hooked. What a refreshing change from the usual high dollar equipment "adventure biking" day trips I usually see. Noraly's up-beat attitude and humor are wonderful. Now I'm dreaming of taking off for an adventure myself. I'm not sure I could handle the adversity half as well, though. Going to start watching the whole series from the beginning now.

Spotting a baby llama makes everyone's voice go up by two octaves. 😁

So impressed with your laughter in the face of challenges

Beautiful secondary roads and stunning landscapes. I personally think that Chile and Argentina have the most beautiful places in our planet.

I am amazed by your courage and enthusiasm in doing this trip. I will no longer have the fear in traveling to my local supermarket to buy milk and bread 😁. You inspire me to get on my bike and travel Europe..as I have wanted to do this for a long time. Thank you for the time and effort you put in to your videos.....ride safe 👌

I'am more and more impressed of the build quality of that Royald Enfield. That little bike is beated for days and days on those unpaved roads and still holding on! Nice!

Itchy Boots is one of the top female adventure riders of all time!

I request everyone to send an email to Royal Enfield requesting them to make her the ambassador of HIMALAYAN

You are taking on a very hard, lonely part of the world there. Love your good attitude about it! It is stunning, tough. Thanks for the wonderful guided view. Bike remains impressive too!

"Thank you for taking us with you again Noraly " ride safe.

Thank you once again for letting me see the world though your eyes. I would have never thought South America would be so beautiful ! Keep up the great videos and be safe!

The scenery you are showing us is just out of this world. Just unbelievable landscape that we would know nothing about if it wasn't for you. Thank you Noraly you are the best.....

just going to watch 5 min just before sleep... ME: 2 o'clock in the morning still watching.. thanks Noraly, you are a true inspiration to never give up on your dreams

Well that's a 1st. Watching a motorcycle video with tears in my eyes ! (it must be the dust & salt!) Beautiful, a great video as always from you. Ride safe Noraly , 327,000 subcribers are with you!!

The desolation of that part of the beautiful country you were in came across in your video. This was the first time since I started watching your presentations (since their beginning) that I felt some fear for your safety. From people to a small degree but to a greater degree from the physical environment you are in. Nature simply does not care about you one way or another. Risk is of course part of the adventure. But be safe. Stay prepared for anything that she, Ms Nature, may present to you.

Anybody who thumbs down these uploads from you Noraly should be ashamed . Riding all day ,finding hotels -food-visas etc etc let alone petrol is exhausting enough. This gem of a human being then produces a 20 minute video and uploads it with music and comments in a most professional manner . Noraly Dutch girl -you are head and shoulders above cretins who criticise -just don't read their stupid comments . Stay safe --we ALL love you intensely little lady .XXX

Guauuuu... hermosas vistas en este video..!!! Noraly, gracias por mostrarme estos lugares de mi querida Argentina que no conocía... Todos muestran esa provincia pero por la ruta 40, tu eres única al entrar en esos duros caminos... felicitaciones..!!

Thanks for taking my mind off the cold and rain of English winter. Your adventures are keeping me going until Spring. PS - 16000 views and only 2.5k likes...come on people!

The welds on the motorbike frame are holding up . This is the make-it-or-break-it extreme test ,proving the reliability ,quality construction of the Royal Enfield Himalayan Motorcycle.

It's amazing you did that by yourself. I live in Salta, and worked in Mina Llullaillaco, west of Tolar Grande. I've always wanted to do the same road you did but I don't dare to do it by myself. You know how cold it gets at night, I'm afraid of getting strended there and nobody passing by to help. Also the wind can get pretty strong, I've measured 139 kph! For me it's really impressive that you did that. Also, a friend of mine met you in Tolar, Guillermo. An older dude with half Grey hair, I've seen your India videos but didn't know you rode by so near us!

Hi Noraly, Just watched this video for the second time. It’s exhausting! How on earth do you cope with all the off road, washboard surfaces, bouncing in the saddle and on your foot pegs and STILL have the energy to smile and film your outro? You are a true star and a wonderful ambassador for everyone who rides motorcycles. You did look tired at the end of this video though. Episode 50 will be a milestone video and one to look forward to. Then, my dear young Nederlandse, take a well-earned rest. Recharge your batteries, run a spanner and a sponge over Dhanno and pat her on the rank. She deserves the praise. She shows us all that you don’t need huge cc and tons of horses to travel great journeys. I, for one, am so glad I sold my 1200cc Yamaha tourer and bought an old BSA 500 cc single back to life. She has put the smile on my face as Dhanno has yours. Finally, talking of smiles, I could “see” your face when you saw the llamas 🦙. It was like seeing kittens playing. Loved this video. Take care, ride safe and big 👍🏻 Geoff

Noraly. Wow, I was exhausted just watching you on those washboards. Tough ride but beautiful scenery. Congratulations and a well deserved rest. 👍

Courageous Woman,God bless her!

I look at the majestic scenery in Noraly's videos and feel so small. I always wanted to visit Buenos Aires, but now I want to ride her path through that vast frontier. Beautiful!

It is impressive to watch this adventure. It is easy to be jealous and want to do the same. But then I realize that I don't have the courage that she has. It takes a great soul to enter an adventure like this.

Noraly, all this off roading is good preparation for your Dakar attempt next year.

Time for a break! Not breaking Dhanno, but a vacation. Have fun, we'll be waiting patiently....🙏

Wow, what a rugged ride! The landscape was stunningly beautiful. Your riding skills, and your geologic knowledge are prodigious. Onward

Hi, my name is Alexandre, from Rio de Janeiro. I've been following your motorcycle adventures. Wonderful. Congratulations on your courage. If you come to Brazil, come and visit us.

What a wonderful journey you're having there. I envy you so much, and it's such a joy to follow your expedition. Good luck on the journey ahead!

Damn. That almost felt like riding on Martian surface. Beautiful vistas.

These videos are addictive. As a fellow biker I feel the 'sore bottom' over long periods of rough road. just watching this videos gives an incredible feeling of vulnerability that doesn't seem to show. Am I too comforted by the 'system' that will offer assistance if I phone? I do too!!! Lovely lady and a great watch. Please come to Scotland. If we get over Caronavirus I'd love to show you my beautiful(wet) country.

Now a days I prefer watching blogs especially yours.because it's real,than watching TV or stars wars movie.

Blue skies, stunning landscape, baby llama, talking to biker's in the middle of nowhere, great narration. What more can you ask for. Brilliant.

Almost a thousand views after just 38mins your onto a good thing here mrs and at the core of that it reallly is you and how you come across 😄, basically keep up the hard work 👌👌👌

Just as astonishing as the terrain, is the iridescent blue shy. Thx for taking us to amazing places Noraly.

Spectacular scenery 🤩😊 Love 💕 your work Kudos. Thanks for allowing us to live our lives vicariously through your lens 💗. Bless up 😄 Watching from Sydney

Another amazing ride! What a landscape! Thanks for taking us along.

Argentina and Chile are paradise. I love it.

This must be one of the best... if not the best ride you've done. You are lucky to experience this in person. The landscape is so stunning... it's out of this world. ❤You are so brave. I can't imagine breaking down in the middle of that desert. Thank you for sharing your travels.

Noraly - What a pleasant greeting this morning. I'm so very happy to see you again. Your work out music should have been the theme from "Rocky". :O) ........ Looking forward to MORE.

That Royal Enfield sure wants to go on ... and on... and on!

Bravo Noraly, impressed with this stretch of OUR journey. @ 6.34 that rock face geology on the left looked like a series of Sculptures. AMAZING. Too bad about the drone. Always look forward to your landscape and geology lessons. Thanks once again for enhancing our knowledge. The colours of the landscape are breathtakingly beautiful; the red against the white salt flat, intermingled with a host of other colours, WOW! Take care and ride safe.

You’re such a badass, Noraly! Love following your adventures. 😘

Epic video! Thank you for sharing these stunning landscapes, the inevitable challenges and as ever, your uplifting vibrant and wise energy. Love the baby lama squeaks of delight 😍

This was perhaps the most bone rattling ride I have seen on your videos. I am happy that you and Dhanno made it across that desolate but beautiful area with most of your parts intact! Thank you, Noraly. Ride safe.

Awesome landscapes despite the small traffic jam of adventure riders. Coming soon, the end of the Argentinian and Chilean geography. Safe riding Noraly! Looking forward to the next episode.

No me canso de felicitarte por tu coraje (para hacer esas rutas) y que hermosos lugares... Noraly muchas gracias por las imágenes!!

Just freaking stunning. I'm happy you share your experiences with us. Thank you.

Beautiful salt flats. Drone not flying , then you stand up and give an illusion of drone taking flight. Awesome. Even the cloud at 21:01 is making question sign - who is coming on this road. :👌👍😊

the dogs chasing you is a classic

You make us dream about those wonderful landscapes, almost out of thia world. Thank you! Keep riding, I'm sendibg all my blessings to you and Dhanno!

24:28 I can imagine the night as it is there. Simply stunning. And surely a unique view to admire the stellar firmament.

Dhano stands tall, while the 3rd party accessories take a crap, wishing they too were build like a Royal Enfield Himalayan

good job with the screen repair, everything else broke, but not the screen. Dankie Wel for the great video material. lekker slaap and ride safe

Awesome video Noraly, you are truly an inspiration to anyone watching your beautiful videos.

Amazing is the only word that comes to mind and It doesn't do you justice . Congrats on the epic journey

Noraly, Thank you for another great geography tour. Beautiful area. I had no idea what what it would be like in that part of Argentina. Ride safe and enjoy your well deserved break.

Big BIG Thumbs up for the longer video!! Absolutely loved this! Please keep them long! Throw some more adverts in there its all good just keep them long!! Loved this to bits! Ride safe!

Every time I watch your videos, I'm blown away by just how tough you are. You can even communicate in Spanish! :-D. Doing all this solo too, ! WOW. You're a very impressive person Itchy Boots. Your bikes look great, your gear looks great, you look great, your film making and editing is fantastic. What can I say? really loving your videos and currently following your South African adventure too! GO Itchy GO!!

WOW!!!! fantastic scenery!!! I love the high desert/ mountain climate! On of your WOW!!!! Love the high desert/mountain environment!!! Has to be one of the most beautiful segments of your tip! Have really enjoyed following you on your latest adventure. Best of luck on your trip and stay safe. Your friend in Texas, John.

Norally, you’re amazing. I love how you’re so nice to everyone you encounter. Karma goes a long way. Can’t wait to read your novel and have you sign it one day! Safe travels 🙏🏼

9:50 sorry about that? We are here because who you really are, enjoy the fullest.

As always, thank you for sharing your experiences. Happy to send any RE Himalayan spares you need. Ride and be safe.

Really big thumbs up for you brave traveler! Such a stark landscape but fascinating! Thanks once again! Safe trip!

Always look forward to watching your adventures! Your sense of adventure and unfailing positivity always impress us! Continued safe travels!

oh ! what a remote and desolate place - thank you for bringing this part of the world and stunning scenery for the world to see - LOVED THE BLUE SKIES THROUGHOUT and the off roading tracks ....watching it felt eerie myself !

Thanks, Noraly for taking us through such tough routes.

Congrats and good luck! I rode these roads a couple of years back, and the hardest and toughest are yet to come!

Tough day - I can see why you need a break.

You might be crossing some of the Dakar Rally route when they raced there. (Ewan McGregor would have fallen 10 times on that road.)

Your videos are punches in the face of those weekenders who think they are tough because of their expensive bikes and their leather vest. Wonderful bike the R.E Himalayan. Respect from a Brazilian guy in England.

You're truly living the dream of so many of us Noraly. I'm so grateful you are sharing this beautiful experience with us. I wish I could share a bit of the hardship you endure.

Wow, that looked like a long hard ride! what a fantastic bike the Himalayan is turning out to be, stay safe, and I look forward to the next video, and I hope you get the drone fixed!

Beatifull road!!!!! Dangerous to circulate alone. 💪👏👏👏

That was great to watch, well done. What a beautiful landscape. So few people, and those you do meet are really nice.

I’m a bit of a desert lover, this was heaven to watch. Simply amazing. Awesome video 👍

Your courage and determination are inspirational.Enjoy your break,and remember this-if what you are doing was easy,everyone would be doing it.

I am amazed how no other traffic seems to be on the roads? WOW! All those washboard roads would drive me mad! Poor Bike

You’re a tough brave soul living life to the fullest. Thanks for sharing all the great views along your journey and the challenges that you faced with such amazing ‘can do’ spirit and positive energy. Enjoy your rides ✊

Huge effort, respect ✊ to you Noraly. Magnificent scenery - again. 👍🏍🇦🇺

A couple of hundred K's over corrugated road, who needs a gym! Love the timeless aspect of that landscape, beautiful.

Noraly, We are all rooting for you. I will say it again, you are absolutely delightful and your trip is amazing! Thank You for sharing it with us all.

Thank you Noraly! You are producing some of the most entertaining and informative content on the internet. Your enthusiasm is absolutely infectious!! 😀

La soledad..! El paisaje...! El color del cielo.. La edicion... Simplemente Magnifico....!😀😃👍

Noraly says: "Where is everybody, there is nobody here!" We say: "Everybody is here watching Itchy Boots!" Ride safe and don't get in trouble, there is nobody to help....

Great to keep your positivity in all "incredible" situations. Good Luck 👍

Thank You,Thank You,Thank You. These videos are wonderful ! The scenery is breathtaking ! Very entertaining and relaxing to watch. Hope you are keeping well in these difficult times.

I really like the music! Thank you for another great video Noraly!

Riding high in the Andes . You are making an epic adventure and I am so happy to come along . Take Care

Keep smiling even struggling. You are superb human. Salute!

Wow IB. This episode (S2/E49) was stunning. You open a door to places we would never normally see. The landscape in parts of this episode was like you were riding on Mars. Fantastic. So desolate , so remote and you are never intimidated by it. Great.

To truly experience the full beauty of a country one needs to go off the beaten track as Noraly is doing. Awesome scenery. Thank You and safe travels.
