Passion fuelled biker's dream trail to Ladakh
The New Indian Express
|June 28, 2024
CHASING a passion, M Swetha Murthi (23) embarked on a road trip from Palacode to Ladakh in the last week of May, covering nearly 4,000 km on a bike in thirteen days.
-
Swetha who returned home recently told TNIE that her male college mates did not allow her to join them on a cross country trip during her UG days and that made her to resolve to accomplish all that men could.
"Three years ago, during my UG days in Coimbatore, a group of guys planned a trip on their motorcycles. When I expressed my interest in joining them, they said 'No woman allowed,' because there was no safety for us on such trips. It kind of hit me, and I thought why can't I pursue my interest on my own."
