Wanted to race motorsports. Couldn't afford it. Found bikes instead.
4 months bed rest. Doctor said I'd never run again. I had other plans.
Started cycling against family's wishes. Dad gifted my first bike anyway. One month later - 10th overall at Hero MTB Himalaya in my very first MTB race.
Multiple race wins and podiums across MTB, trail running and duathlons. Represented HP state team 5 times at nationals. First ever MTB summits at Chandernahan Lake, Kuppar Peak and Kot Kali Peak.
Less racing, more exploring. Meeting riders from around the world. Showing them my Himalayas.
Summits I've taken a mountain bike to that no one else had before.
