Bikes lovers always try to scale their passion of riding to a level higher. A 24-year-old girl hailing from Kumble in Kerala’s Kasargod district is one of those. Amrita Joshi, a young woman biker is geared up for the international trip from Mangaluru to Bhutan on her bike. It will be reportedly her first international bike trip. She will ride to Bhutan on her KTM 220 bike. Amrita Joshi will start from Mangaluru and travel via Bengaluru, Odisha, West Bengal, Sikkim and Meghalaya. Amrita will also travel through the North Eastern states including Assam. She will be travelling through ten states during this trip. She along with her group will travel 10,000 kilometres. During her journey, the woman biker aims to understand the customs and culture of different cities and spend time with local people. Her objective is to empower women of the nation and make them believe that bike riding is not a man-oriented activity.
Amrita Joshi has previously done an all-India bike ride including Myanmar, Bangladesh and Nepal. She learned to ride the bike in sixth grade. She has earlier done the All Kerala Group Tour. Apart from empowering women, an international trip to Bhutan on a bike is itself a big feat which is quite impossible to achieve for anyone irrespective of gender. Amrita Joshi, daughter of Dr Ashok Joshi of Kumble and Annapurna, has completed her Diploma in Polymer Science at KPT, Mangaluru.
It is not the first time that a Mangalorean has embarked on the journey of covering cities in India on a bike. In 2020, a Ullal resident of Mangaluru completed a solo ride in 39 days after covering a distance of 12,635 km. He visited more than 100 cities, which also included treacherous Himalayan Stretches. His name is Muhammed Saleem. He rode on his Royal Enfield Classic 350. He started his journey on January 8 and returned on February 15.
