Rajkumar Thapa Magar and Alisha Khadgi: The Memories Between the Miles

In one photograph, Rajkumar Thapa Magar sits on a dirt bike with his arm around Alisha Khadgi. Behind them, green hills stretch into the distance.

There is no way to know everything they were feeling when that picture was taken. But looking at it alongside reports of their separation, an ordinary photograph begins to carry a different weight.

It holds a moment when they were still together.

Before the superbikes became familiar to his viewers, Rajkumar’s story began with cycling. His YouTube channel was created on September 21, 2017, and accounts of his early career describe a young cycling enthusiast finding confidence through making videos. His beginnings were smaller than the audience that would eventually know his name.

A bicycle. A camera. A reason to head outside and record something.

Over the years, the channel grew into a collection of rides, travel, motorcycles and everyday life. By late October 2026, it had reached approximately 1.46 million subscribers. Thousands of uploads and hundreds of millions of views had turned a personal interest into a public career.

Somewhere within those years, viewers also came to know Alisha.

Their shared public history stretches back at least to August 2021, when they appeared together in an interview. In 2022, both were named among the motovloggers attending a Kathmandu-to-Bhotechour group ride. Their names were becoming familiar within the same riding community.

Alisha was building something of her own, too.

Her YouTube channel, created in May 2021, attracted more than 200,000 subscribers. She had her own audience and her own place in Nepal’s creator community—a part of her story that deserves to remain visible beyond the relationship.

Their journeys also overlapped professionally. A campaign organiser lists both among the creators on a 2024 motorcycle tour covering more than 1,000 kilometres through Kathmandu, Pokhara, Butwal and Dharan. They travelled, met local audiences and created content along the route.

For viewers who followed those years, the attachment may be easy to understand.

You arrive at a channel because you like motorcycles. You return because the people become familiar.

A face beside the rider. Another name in the video title. Someone you begin to expect in the next upload.

Their 2022 off-road video to Teendhare Jharana in Kavre, featuring Alisha and a Crossfire RM250, went on to attract around 1.5 million views. It remains one small record of the miles they shared publicly.

Then, in October 2026, reports of their breakup began circulating. Commentary channels covered what they described as Rajkumar’s emotional live discussion, followed by Alisha’s response. The available coverage contains conflicting accounts and does not independently establish why the relationship ended.

For longtime followers, that news may change how the old videos feel.

The same journey is still there. The same two people appear in the frame. Yet a moment that once seemed like the beginning of another adventure can now feel like a memory of something that has ended.

On October 26, a short appeared on Rajkumar’s channel with the title: “We became strangers with memories.” The title alone does not explain whom he meant, but its words echo the sadness surrounding the reported separation.

Still, photographs and videos can only show the parts of a relationship that reached the camera.

The private conversations belong to Rajkumar and Alisha. So do the reasons, the hurt and whatever comes next.

For those who watched them together, there can be sadness without choosing a villain. There can be affection for the old memories while allowing both people a future beyond them.

That photograph against the green hills will always hold the same moment: his arm around her, both looking towards the camera, a motorcycle beneath them.

Their lives will keep moving beyond the frame.
