Mumbai-based indie artist Vipin Mishra is known for his love for music but always having been a lover of off-roading, he decided to embark on one or probably his most challenging expeditions through the Zanskar Valley in Ladakh. While the territory is familiar, the nature of this trip brought together the best of both worlds for Mishra – music and biking.
He shares, “I first got introduced to Ladakh in 1991. After that, I`ve been there multiple times in all sorts of ways from road trips to climbs to treks. My first experience with the Zanskar Valley was when we actually rafted down the valley. It was an expedition we had done in 2012.” After that he did go to Shingo La Pass but not any further and came back but the itch to explore the valley has always been there. So in 2022, Mishra along with his friends including actor Satyadeep Misra (fondly called Sattu) decided to ride through and capture the beauty of the region but more importantly its immersive music.
