Cross-border traveling remains only a dream for many which feels nothing less than a book that has been sitting on that shelf, covered in dust, and is waiting to be read. But this ain’t about a book, and most importantly, it was not just about dreaming for Nikhil Kashyap and his four friends – Bhanu Pratap Singh, Harkirat Singh, Vikram Mehta, and Ram Ithikkat. These five daredevils decided to slay the rugged roads on a bike trip from Singapore to India for celebrating freedom in a way, which is not common for you and for me.

Christening their bike trip as “The Great Independence Day Ride”, these five friends took the road less traveled, and covered more than 5000 kilometers across five south east Asian destinations in association with Castrol Power1.

In a bid to celebrate freedom beyond boundaries, Nikhil Kashyap planned this bike trip from Singapore to India which lead them through Kuala Lumpur, Surat Thani and Bangkok in Thailand, Naypyidaw, Old Bagan, and more of such astonishing places. Above all, the only factor that made this whole adventurous journey into an epic experience is that of their motive.

Their phenomenal bike trip from Singapore to India was not just about celebrating a day. They crossed borders in order to celebrate their freedom to explore, embark on new roads, make friends along the way, revel in the beauty of different cultures, treating their taste buds to tantalizing food, and above all, empowering tourism.
