Mysuru :

There have been many instances where various biking groups across the country and State have taken up biking expeditions to North India especially to Leh-Ladakh. But there would be very few instances of two-brothers coming together to go on a biking expeditions alongside the borers of the country.

One such brother duo is Sagar S. Bharadwaj, 19-year-old engineering student at NIE, Mysuru and his elder brother Suraj S. Bharadwaj, a 21-year-old final year engineering student at BNMIT, Bengaluru, who completed the border biking expedition in just 29 days.

Though the expedition began for the sake of pleasure, the brothers also aimed to enter the Limca Book of Records for the fastest biking expedition along the borders of the country. Earlier record was created in 59 days. They have submitted their documents to the Limca Book of Records and in case of them creating a record they would be intimated only next year.

Both Sagar and Suraj started their journey from Bengaluru on Dec. 31, 2015 and completed their expedition on Jan. 28, 2016. However, the duo could not visit Leh-Ladakh as the roads were closed and Arunachal Pradesh since they were denied permission owing to tense environment.

Speaking to Star of Mysore, Sagar said that it was nice experience to ride the bike along the borders of the country and added that the journey got them introduced to different culture, tradition and also variety of cuisines.

“We also experienced different terrains across the country out of which few were very challenging. The visit to the Wagah Border to watch the Beating Retreat was mesmerising so also the ride in Manali where the temperature was running at minus 6 degrees,” he added.

Sagar went on the biking expedition on Honda CBR 250 R while Suraj went on Pulsar 220S. Sagar stays in Mysuru with his grandmother in Chamarajapuram while Suraj stays with his mother at Girinagar in Bengaluru. Duo is sons of S. Sanath Kumar, an Automobile Engineer with Volkswagen in Pune and Sabhitha, a home-maker.
