“The past year was a blur for me. Staying away from family, I was holed up with my roommates only occasionally stepping out to buy groceries and other essentials. So when there was a leeway for a holiday in the mid of December, I knew I had to use it up to plan a quick getaway. Myself and my gang set out for a four day trip to Munnar by bike.

I have read inspiring stories of bikers who have travelled the length and the breadth of the world. Like the story of two girls who rode till Australia and even some of them riding till London. The connection between a bike and its owner is quite unique and one that only other bikers can relate to.

With the lush sceneries to accompany us along the way, it was all we could do to not run into a tree ogling at the lush green. The route was a biker’s paradise and I enjoyed every last bit of the route. There were a few huddles here and there but we managed to pull through and it was a fitting tribute to the year as a whole.

The dream is to plan and ride to distant places because it is never about the destination. The journey is what makes it all worth the while.”
