Episode 9: Journey from Chitradurga to Murdeshwar: Exploring Coastal Wonders
As the sun rises over the historic city of Chitradurga, we bid farewell to its ancient fortresses and storied past, setting our sights on the coastal town of Murdeshwar. With the promise of sandy beaches and ocean vistas ahead, we eagerly mount our bikes, ready to embark on the next chapter of our adventure.
Leaving the rugged terrain of Chitradurga behind, we set a course towards the azure waters of the Arabian Sea. The Triumph Scrambler 400X leads the way, its classic silhouette cutting through the morning mist with a sense of purpose and determination.
As we ride along the winding roads that hug the coastline, the salty breeze of the sea fills the air, invigorating our senses with its briny scent. The Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 and KTM 390 Adventure follow closely behind, their engines humming in harmony with the rhythm of the waves.
As we approach Murdeshwar, anticipation builds in the air, knowing that we are nearing one of Karnataka’s most iconic landmarks. Perched atop a rocky promontory overlooking the sea, the towering statue of Lord Shiva beckons us towards its sacred embrace.
Parking our bikes, we take a moment to admire the awe-inspiring beauty of Murdeshwar, marveling at the intricacies of its architectural wonders and the majesty of its natural surroundings. With its pristine beaches and panoramic views, Murdeshwar offers a tranquil sanctuary amidst the chaos of the world.
Exploring the town on foot, we immerse ourselves in the vibrant tapestry of life that thrives along the coast. From bustling marketplaces to quaint seaside cafes, Murdeshwar captivates us with its charm and hospitality, inviting us to linger a little longer in its embrace.
As the sun begins to set, casting a golden hue over the horizon, we gather on the beach to witness nature’s spectacle in all its glory. With the sound of crashing waves as our soundtrack, we reflect on the journey that has brought us here, grateful for the memories we’ve made and the adventures that still await us.
Join us in the next episode as we continue our exploration of Karnataka’s coastal wonders, uncovering hidden treasures and embarking on new adventures along the way. The road ahead is filled with excitement and possibility, and we can’t wait to see where it leads us next.

Have to say guys this is the best adventure by far I never new India is such a beautiful place wish I didn't have to work spend my time doing stuff like that it just goes to show what a magnificent world we live in and we need to look after it for us and the future when you finally finish then I think you three need to do another adventure because this one is fantastic 👍
You are right about something missing on the Scrambler400x
I think it just doesnt settle down at a highway cruising speed. Indian roads thats 100kmph..60 mph. It takes upwards of6000 rpm to get there. The Himi does 100 kmph at 5000 rpm..theres the different
Please go to North East india ❤
RE KTM Triumph
The only bike you wud have in ur garage for the rest of ur life will be?
Another great video many thanks
wow i am from chitradurga!!! missed meeting you guys!!!so guess you are taking all the internal roads and avoiding the express highways! Temple like a bday cake-lol that's one analogy 🤣🤣🤣, the murdeshwar drone shots were epic!!!!
I think the RE Himalayan 450 is a workhorse.. Tractor if you know what i mean..
Easily the best review of these bikes that you're gonna find on YouTube.
Three riders, three opinions and serious on/off road testing, in serious weather 👌 quality footage 👌 👍
Another great ride, would love to do a ride like this. Can you post a link to the organiser/tour operator pls.
Have loved this series. Great work
Definitely won't be triumph, that bike was turned into a third wheel for this series.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Another Brilliant Vid Simon, thanks to you and the Guys. You did a great summary today when riding the Triumph, you mentioned Depreciation!!! The Simple Fact that EVERY BMW Rider calmy igores the pound notes flying off their Over Engineered, Over Priced, Unreliable Horror Show!!
But anyway, great ride today, you have mentioned in the series MPG. Personally, it has a massive bearing for me. Again, BMW comes bottom of that as well. I run a Suzuki GSX S1000 two years old. I can sell it now for more than what it cost me?? I looked at all the makes, models in that Category, Sport Tourer and to me what it Costs to run the Bike and service it is crucial? Surely? It was way out in front of any BMW for Running Cost and on performance and reliability, You need to re-mortgae your house to run a BMW at £22k you simply have to be insane? You still get wet when it rains.
But your series has been fantastic viewing great viceo quality and i know a lot of time goes into the editing, so really well done for such a prompt, efficient and incredibly interesting Tour. I have been as jealous as hell. Although my bike is nowhere near as good as your for the multiple types of surfaces. I would be very interested if you just touch on the GPro you use? Edit with? just as a guide.
My personal favourite of the three is the Enfield. I just think it's the best all rounder. The NTK for me is too complex for the category and more expensive to run? I am looking forward to your summary. I am not into Triumphs generally not very reliable and nowhere near the built quality and releliability of the Japanese bikes simple as really. You can beat the backside out of my bike and it just laughs at me. I have found Suzuki to be "Bulletproof" for me a major factor. Again, the so called leader BMW never even made the top ten in a the worldwide survey a few years back. Return to bench review main dealers. Top Yamaha, joint second Honda/Suzuki (moral victory Honda astounding range of models) fourth Kawasaki. What does that say?
Thanks again to you and the Guys, Brilliant Tour!! Congratulations (Apologies for my Love and Respect to BMW! the most overrated two wheels around!)
Wow! Beautiful place, I been to India about 7 times, but I always tend to go north towards the the Himalayas, I should try the south sometime
You should visit Mizoram in the North East of India. It's a wonderful and beautiful hill state
Lovely ❤
Very Beautiful
Awesome adventure of 3 great bikes ridden by 3 great riders. Well done all.
Just love this rewiew you have done and what a journey! amazing trip among such nature and animals and sandroads among with regular roads! Im from Sweden but lives in Peru now and I cant wait til I get my bike so I can go through Peru! Well done !
No Delhi Belly Simon?
what camera is that on your helmet?
This has been a fantastic adventure and series, you guys are great! So good that I gave you a sub! Thank you for sharing all of your adventures. Cheers,
Steveextraordynery !!! thanks for your review …
I’ve just watched 9 episodes straight!! I was in the market for a 2nd hand full-size ADV bike but giving that Himilayan serious consideration after watching this. Good work
Throughly enjoyed this one as well. Entertaining & brilliant. Thanks once again
Any flat tires or crashes or tip overs?? Great series.
Noooo. It’s coming to an end. Loved the journey so far. Would love to see more videos of this kind. Please could you do a commuter comparison with the Harley, Honda cb 350 and maybe the classic or something on those lines
The temple that looked like birthday cake.
No audio coming from the video
Loving this series Simon, I can't wait to hear your decision… I would guess the RE?
Sometimes I think Alan Hanson has joined the trip🤔
Please try Tawang(Arunachal Pradesh) next time when you guys are here. Lots of people avoid this place and always head towards Himalayan region
How long do I have to wait for next episode
I live winters in Thailand where we have a second home, the first in Portugal. Over there we have a Enfield Meteor 350 and am thinking about the new Himalayan, my friend is considering a 400 Triumph so will refer this to him. The trip reminds me of many in northern Thailand and Laos we have done, except you ride faster. Thanks boys!!!
I can’t find the final verdict?? Have you posted it yet Simon?????
Been cross the world, but my god India is beautiful❤
Such a really great series, looking forward to your final review after riding all 3 bikes, and maybe a quick thought against something like a Honda 500 twin as a comparison, especially with the upgraded NX, which is not a million miles away pricewise
Love the content. I've used this to decide on my next bike. Well almost. I'm 6'2 so I'm tempted by the Triumph. What other road trips are you thinking of doing?
Thanks for the honest review
Interesting triumph has gone with cast wheels when the competition has spoke and the type of bike it is would lend itself to spokes.
Have I missed the video of ride back to goa
