The Final Push to the Top of Arabel Pass: A High-Altitude Challenge
In the heart of Kyrgyzstan, adventure awaits those brave enough to tackle the breathtaking Arabel Pass. In the latest episode of my journey, S8, EP107, prepare to experience the thrill of the ascent as I navigate the steep, winding hairpins that challenge even the most seasoned riders.
After navigating the rugged Bartang Valley, which tested my limits both mentally and physically, a sense of nervous excitement fills the air. The anticipation of reaching the top, where sweeping views of snow-capped peaks and lush valleys await, is a powerful motivator. This formidable pass isn’t just about the destination; it’s a test of endurance, skill, and resilience against the backdrop of one of the most stunning landscapes on Earth.
Join me as I conquer this high-altitude route, facing power loss and the unpredictable elements that characterize such remote landscapes. From the thrill of the ride to the sheer beauty surrounding every turn, this installment captures the essence of adventure motorcycling in its purest form.
So gear up and join me for this exhilarating chapter as we push to the top of Arabel Pass!

Savara bilgili bir kız. Verdiği bilgiler doğru. Onu tebrik ederim. Seyahatinizi başarıyla devam ettirdiğiniz için sizde büyük bir tebriği hak ediyorsunuz. Herşeyin gönlünüzce olduğu yeni bir yıl dilerim. Mutlu seneler.

I was amazed how fluent in English the young lady you had a meal with was. In the middle of nowhere a person like this must be unusual.
Such a great adventure, Noraly! The scenery is gorgeous, and I loved your meal and conversation with Savara… I always learn something new from your journey! 👍❤
Happy New Year!!!
Девушка молодчинка, шпарит по английски как из пулемета Максим , сразу видно очень образованная😊
Stunning drone footage! Loved minute 9.03' and the soaring music! Brilliant, Noraly!
Did anyone get Lord of the Rings – feelings when watching the drone view? I sure did 😊
Legends Live all parts of the world!
Utterly amazing scenery, well done Noraly and Frankie❤
Wat een geweldige rit om de pas op te komen, en boven,, wat een uitzicht, geweldig. De weg naar beneden was wel heel mooi. Dat Frankie heir beter naar boven kwam heeft volgens mij te maken met het schone brandstoffilter. De toevoer was dermate belemmerd dat dit het vermogensverlies veroorzaakte. Ook leek de route wat minder stijl, maar dat is de constatering vanachter het scherm. Wat genieten , goed weer redelijke weg omstandigheden, TOP. Ooooo ik vergeet iets!!! de aller beste wensen voor 2026!!! 🍸🍷🍸🍷Veel geluk gezondheid en minimaal technische problemen met Frankie. Stay Safe 🤞🤞🤞🤞🍀🍀🍀🍀 😉 😉
Great drone shots of the glaciers! From Arizona
Thank you for sharing all you do! I hope you had a wonderful new year and wish you all the very best with your amazing adventures in 2026!
I love how excited she is at the top of the pass. I love the majestic music that made it feel bigger and grander, and helped us viewers share more completely with Noraly's excitement. BTW, how many languages does she speak? It's a bit of a jaw dropping moment when she starts talking in Russian with those travellers.
Noraly Shoemaker should be appointed UN Ambassador for Peace. She deserves it because She shows us better than any politician that what unites us is greater than what divides us.
Your show doesn't get the credit it deserves as a food show. No where will you find these far off amazing dishes in the media sphere. "That fermented horse milk" 😂😂
🇿🇦♥️
Stunning 🙏💪👍🇸🇪
Noraly Türkiye seyahatin çok kısa sürdü. Bir daha gidersin umarım. Her bölümde senin cesaretine hayran kalıyorum. Sana iyi seyahatler 🙏
If the Brometric pressure is high and the air is colder the carburetor performs much better. I love the drone shot it was amazing. the food was so meticulously prepared and looked delicious. What a great experience. Thanks so much for sharing.
Hi who's the drone pilot. Great job of flying 👌 thanks. 😊
Wauw, wauw en nog eens WAUW!!! Te gek, Noraly… Happy New Year!
Kyrgyzstan seems very safe. I think my wife and I will travel the same route this summer. As a Turk, I find the Turkic countries more similar than I expected. Thanks for inspiring journeys Noraly
Thank you for taking me with you all over the world to see a lot of countries I love it wow !!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥♥️🙏
Magnifiques contrastes réalisés par les nuages sur les images de montagne !!!
My deduction is that the vent cleaning has allowed fuel to. Enter the carburettor without the engine having to fight the vacuumed in the tank , you would have climbed the previous pass. With greater ease if you had known about the issue by opening the fuel cap at regular intervals
Aleluya❤
When you have 30 mins spare have a look at Henry Cole goes to Wales. Uploaded a day ago. It's a 10 minute schedule but you know, allowing for pause and so on.
mooi die sacrale muziek bij de dronebeelden
iphone mini wordt niet meer geproduceerd. Het zou best overal moeilijk kunnen zijn om te laten vervangen, hier in België geen probleem, misschien in China wel
Glaciers are stunning
Riveting. Fascinating. Spellbinding. Stunning 4K60FPS topography with a brilliant layer of Yrdyk culture on top of it all.
Talking about those Carb issues as you climb out on these mountain passes,lite aircraft face those issues and deal with it by adjusting the mixture via a cable in the cockpit.Maybe you could lift the carb mixture needle a notch or two before entering these regions Noraly.
Love the videos
Interested to know if you carry any good with you
Happy New Year, Noraly! Thank you, thank you, thank you for introducing us to so many cultures and traditions but most of all the beautiful people in the world. May God continue to bless you with great health and safe travels!! You are loved!!
Come to Balochistan 🤍
Lieve Noraly haal gewoon ff een nieuwe Phone. Straks heb je regen of iets werkt t weer niet. Sponser de plaatselijke middenstand. Keep up the good work. Luv u😊
The lesser russian federation influence, the better. The best is where USSR 's encountered the most.
Dick pronounced lol
