Fifteen years ago, experts scoffed at the idea of running 222 kilometers through Ladakh, a journey that would include conquering the supposedly impassable Khardung La. Undeterred, I rallied a band of like-minded adventurers to not only attempt this feat but to double down, crossing two of the region’s highest mountain passes.
As more and more runners defied the odds, we pushed the limits further, extending the race to 333 kilometers with three towering peaks to overcome. Driven by a thirst for discovery, we conceived of the ultimate test: a 555-kilometer odyssey across five Himalayan giants. Would anyone finish? Could anyone finish?

Do you make an effort to be better informed, or are you the tough one?

Running is just a vehicle to get you on the journey to make a bigger difference in life both for yourself & everyone around you.
Our first initiative is to empower 4,500 girls from lowest socio-economic strata in Haryana via running, indirectly affecting 40,000 family members.

‘Don’t be a Gama, in the land of Lama.’ If you’ve been to LaDakh, you would be familiar with quote that BRO has written all over the highways there. We all know what a Lama is, but what about Gama? This thread 🧵 by @nameshiv talks in detail about the birthday boy.

'The kid looks really good.' Said a neurosurgeon sticking his head into the private room.
'Yes, very peaceful too.' Responded my paediatrician friend who had that lifeless child in his arms.
