HAIDA HAWA MAHAL, JAIPUR 188.
After almost nine months since the start, I reached Jaipur in time for my birthday. I was received by my host Madan Singh, president of the Guides' Association, in front of the iconic Hawa Mahal with a turban and the Tricolour. Truly felt like Rajasthan royalty with all the love and support. The best part was the hot chai, poha and jalebi after the photoshoot
What motivated you to embark on this journey and how is it different from your earlier ones?
After my all-India trips on a bike and a car, covid struck us and all of us were isolated for two years. Once things started getting back to normal, everyone realised the value of life and started travelling like crazy. By bikes, cars, even walking. I wanted to do something that stood apart and had never been done before. I decided to do it on an auto and chose electric as it was unique and challenging too.
BIKANER, RAJASTHAN
Waiting at a railway crossing in Rajasthan on the way to Pushkar from Bikaner. It was one of the hottest days I encountered since my start. The locals surrounded me everywhere I stopped and my auto piqued their interest. After the customary questions of why I was travelling so far on my own, most of them had one suggestion: that I should have brought my girlfriend along for the adventure!
Your motto is 'Pollution free travel'. Tell us about your experience.
After covid, people are going crazy about travel. While many are choosing good causes, many are just packing their bags and cluttering tourist spots. I feel we need to be responsible travellers and focus on reducing the pollution. I always tell people to carry their trash back, and plant trees whenever possible to reduce our carbon footprint.
