We Visit A School In The Slums Of Badami!

[Music] It’s Day three. Just woken up in the morning. 
Opened the curtains and there’s monkeys all over the roof. What an amazing sight that 
is. We are just doing a short ride into uh we’re in the town of Badami going to check out 
the incredible temples which are carved into the walls of these cliff faces. It’s unbelievable. 
And then we’re going to ride on through the countryside and head towards Hampi. So, it’s 
going to be another full-on day. This cave was uh excavated for the god Vishnu. So, 
we’re going to have a look inside. Bat**** Where did that go? Let’s 
have a look. It stinks of urine. Have you got anything with a light on? Torch. I reckon. Gosh, that’s brilliant. The 
carvings are so intricate, aren’t they? Yeah. Look at this floor. 
It’s just like polished from hundreds   and hundreds of years of people walking over it. 
Unbelievable. Yeah. And bat droppings everywhere. Monkeys everywhere. All over the 
rock face. They’ve just absolutely   fearless. Can’t believe how well they 
above. Wow. Look at that. Imagine living here. This is what you do. You sit in 
here, put your fire on at night. Quite nice. Look out of that. Bloody hell. This is quite 
a sight, isn’t it? Oh my god. Imagine what it was like before they built all the new town. 
Oh, incredible. Extensive site. What a place. Look at this one. Got a 
crack in the side there. Wow. Can’t get into that one. That one’s locked. It’s steep. Oh my god. I’m going to translate for you the uh 
Hindi uh here. Uh basically the cave 3   we’re at now was created in 578 CE uh for the uh god Maha Vishnu. So I I’ve translated 
all that for you. Clever! carvings. Oh, look. Looks like to me a lion’s 
head. Yeah. Or maybe a tiger. I don’t know. Wow. Doubt there’d be a lion 
here, would there? Got that smell   of urine again. Could be the monkeys, 
you know. Could be. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. Unbelievable. Isn’t that special? Cave 4. The smallest cave. Uh, unfinished. 
Said it’s unfinished. Unfinished. Yeah. 7th century CE. Oh, there’s a lion seated on a 
lion throne. So, how I mean, in those days, how would they know about lions? Because lions are 
in Africa. Do they have lions here or must do? How would they know? Cuz they wouldn’t jump in 
an airplane and go and find out, can you? What are you are you filming? What What

a a village full of people from Rajasthan. Not sure why they uh came here, but they 
did. Um and there’s such lovely people. The children are just so friendly and 
they’re so intrigued to see who you are, where you come from. It’s just it’s 
lovely. It really is. This is more Hello. So sweet. I don’t know. We might be going the 
wrong way now. Ridden off without us. [Music] Oh, brilliant. Oh, that was amazing. I think I’ve given about 50 high fives today.   Maybe even a hundred. That’s the 
most I’ve given in my whole life. Oh, are we even going the right 
way? Honestly, I don’t know. That looks deep. [Music] Oh my god. This is unbelievable. This is the most beautiful place I’ve ever 
been to on a motorcycle, possibly ever. Wow. I wouldn’t come down here on an icy day. be very slippery. This is amazing. Oops. Sorry. Sorry. I 
can’t control it when it’s so slow. Hey, it’s hard for me to control it 
so slow. Yeah. I don’t have the weight to hold it legs or everything. 
I know what you mean. One shot. Yeah. I’m Nata. I’m traveling with them 
and I’ve been forced to wear this microphone and go here somewhere just 
to introduce myself to you guys. So, here I am. I’m Nata. You can find me 
on Instagram and YouTube as Nata on   the road. And we are all currently in 
Hampi. And this is absolutely stunning. The guys are there with a group of bikes. All right. Riding back down this mountain now. It seems to me as well that um you can 
go anywhere you like in India. There’s no   rules and regulations like we have in the UK, 
but in the UK you got one one’s a foot path, one’s a bridal way, one’s a byway, 
one’s a unclassified road. There’s so many different things and you can and 
can’t do various things on them. Here, do what you like. Same with the road rules. 
Basically, don’t crash and that’s it. Just ride, drive, be sensible. You know, we got so many 
rules in the UK and the Western world that it’s stifling. And it makes it more apparent 
when you come to somewhere like this. Oh, wow. Hello. Hello. Hi there. Oh, wow. Look at 
this. Don’t touch exhaust pipe. Oh, come on, sweetheart. Okay. 
Hello. Thank you. Namaste. [Music] Magical, magical, magical, magical moments 
like that happening all day long. I mean, we can’t film everything cuz it’s 
just endless, incredible moments. That is basically what this 
tour is like. Lose the groups in just arrived at this resort which we’re staying 
at for two nights. It’s absolutely divine. I mean it’s got these little uh sort of huts. Never 
realized India had such extensive countryside because you always think it’s built up. But 
they really do know how to farm sustainably, like I said in the ride. And 
this is our house for the night. Look at that. Wow. So, we got two beds. This is 
hot water switch. This is what you can answer. Okay. I’m coming. 
Okay. Thank you. Wonderful. Thank you very much. Thank you very 
much. So, let’s have a look in here. No, definitely. Okay. So, we have Oh, wow. Look 
at that. Do you have like a semi-ircular room, wet room, shower there? Brilliant. Right. Dinner.
