What began as a casual college conversation finally turned into an unforgettable real-life adventure for five Goan friends. During the curfew period, Abhishek Chitnis and Samith Naikgurav from Priol, Swapnil Mayekar from Ponda, Shivraj Gaonkar from Sacorda, and Mangaldas Gauns from Pale set out on their long-awaited road trip to Ladakh—a journey that tested their physical endurance, deepened their bond, and left them with memories to last a lifetime.
Riding through some of the world’s highest motorable roads and braving harsh climates and unpredictable terrain, the group saw their dream evolve from imagination to reality. From mechanical breakdowns to moments of quiet reflection amidst snow-capped peaks, the journey wasn’t just about the destination but everything that happened in between. “Some memories just hit different — this one will stay forever,” said one of the riders, capturing the emotional impact of the experience.
This story is not just about travel, but about commitment to dreams, the power of friendship, and the beauty of finally ticking off something you’ve held close to your heart for years. As they returned home with hearts full and stories richer, their journey stands as a reminder that with a bit of planning, a lot of courage, and friends who ride with you, anything is possible.
