Srinagar, Aug 02 (KNB): Traveling -it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller. Travel makes everybody more awesome and passionate person. When a dreamer becomes confident about his dream and his abilities can do anything to make his dream come true. This feat story is about Sameer Ah Dar, resident of Sopore district Baramulla who is a bike rider. Sameer loves to travel from one place to another.
Sameer made Kashmir a proud paradise by completing his solo bike journey from Kashmir to Kanyakumari. He is the first Kashmiri who achieved this glory with a Royal Enfield (classic 350) and complete the travel to some 5080 kilometers in eight days which started from Kashmir to Kanyakumari.
“I enjoyed my journey it was full of adventure,and i experience lot fo good things and it made me more happy person. I found love and respect everywhere”.
Sameer is a post graduate student in Islamic studies and manages also a coaching centre at Sopore to meet his daily needs.
“When I started the planning of this adventurous bike trip I got assurance from some of my friends to join me in this trip ,but no one say yes to the trip at the end. “The journey started on 7th July 2018 and on the eight day I was in Kanyakumari the southernmost tip of peninsular India.
Bike travel gives you heaps of freedom, once you have thought of adventure no one can stop you and you will be more than prepared to embark on your adventure. Some people shy away from traveling alone,a few embrace it.
“Through Facebook , contacts I tried to convince many people to accompany me on this voyage, few friends showed their interest at first but none among them actually turned it up so I decided to travel alone”.
Traveling solo can be even more liberating. The itinerary you set and all the decisions you make are yours and yours alone. You did not need to worry about any other person or group. Traveling alone is also a great confidence builder. At times it can feel a bit lonely, but that is just for a small period of time when u start experiencing new world you forget other all things.
On his solo trip from Kashmir to Kanyakumari Sameer passed through Srinagar, Ludhiana, Delhi, Jaipur, Ajmer, Mount Abu, Ahmadabad, Vadodara, Surat, Mumbai, Hubli, Bangalore and many other places. He also plans for more long distance expeditions in future.
Sameer is a married man ,with two kids and parents but his family never comes in his way of fulfilling his passion. They always show support him and also encourage to live his dream.
“Traveling made me modest. As a biker you need highest degree of patience. Control your anger, emotions, time and you will succeed.”
Sameer want to carry his journey in his heart forever and share his experience as much as he can .
The first solo bike rider of Kashmir valley now aims at the Golden Quadrilateral, All India Tour, Nepal, Butan and Thailand tour as well. (KNB)
