The Rickshaw Run – Compilation Video

Rickshaw Run India- Taking a breakIt was tough but enjoyable, sweaty and freezing but after more than 3,000km in our little rickshaw the four of us managed to make our way into the desert city of Jaisalmer in Rajasthan still talking to each other. Having left the tropical Cochi in Kerela down south we made our way up the coast on a journey from rickshaw novice to expert in the space of two weeks spending 12hrs driving each day. We got lost in the middle of nowhere and nearly had nowhere to sleep one day and among the many breakdowns we had we managed to blow two pistons and a head gasket but even those parts were enjoyable. For the endless hours we were driving it felt to me like we were on an adventure even when nothing was happening. This was probably due to the fact that there were no doors and windows and I could easy just have fallen out! The gradual drying up of the landscape as we moved from south to the north was amazing to watch but not as fascinating as the change in the culture and attitude of the people as we travelled. Some states don’t let you drink, some don’t like women in restaurants, all love to stare but not as much as they love cows. Whereas women down south wouldn’t acknowledge your presence, up north you get a huge smile and a wave. It would make a good but daunting research project.

I have made a short video compilation from the hundreds if not thousands of videos and photos to try and convey to you the roads we travelled, the traffic we battled, the beautiful landscape we saw and of course the people we met. I tried to keep it snappy so people might actually watch it even though I would have loved to make one an hour long so everything was included. Enjoy!
