The atmosphere was filled with emotion as the nation saluted the courageous souls who made the ultimate sacrifice for the country.
As part of the expedition, the riders embarked on an enriching experience across various key cities in the country. Starting from Kohima, they traveled through cities like Dimapur, Guwahati, Siliguri, Danapur, Varanasi, Lucknow, Delhi NCR, Chandigarh, Dehradun, and finally, Dras.
