This 67-Year-Old Rode All The Way From kerala To Ladakh

At 67, P Madhusoodanan has an insatiable thirst for adventure and travel. He firmly believes that travel is the only way one can enrich oneself. So, on August 7, he took his Karizma and hit the road from Kerala to Ladakh, a dream ride to a much-awaited location. After traversing 8,951 kilometres and 24 days on the road, he returned to Statue Junction, on Saturday, the very place he started the ride from. His voice carries the exuberance of having witnessed the splendour of the mountains in the most glorious way.

“I prepared for three months. But, the untimely rain and hostile climate made the path treacherous, passes became inaccessible and were closed intermittently,” he recalls. But even when the odds were stacked against him, he was able to tick off all the destinations he wanted to ride to, except missing out on the ride to Pangong Lake. Braving treacherous, snow-clad and slippery terrains, Madhusoodanan is back from the big adventure.
