Three Mumbai Friends Ride 5,300 Kilometres to Five Takhts
Three friends from Mumbai went on a long motorcycle trip together.
They wanted to visit all five Sikh Takhts while doing something they loved.
They started on September 19 and came home on September 30.
The trip lasted 12 days and covered more than 5,300 kilometres.
They rode through nine states and Delhi.
Rain, strong winds and difficult roads made parts of the trip tiring.
Their final stop was Takht Sri Hazur Sahib Nanded.
The friends said the journey was about faith as well as riding, and that they became closer along the way.
Rushabh Dagha, Arminder Pal Singh Virdi and Jay Joshi completed a motorcycle journey covering all five Sikh Takhts.
