It isn't easy sitting in a jam-packed metropolis like Mumbai and imagining what it must have been like for three Indian bikers to embark on a trans-Siberian expedition. The mind conjures pictures of a barren wasteland with sparse pockets of inhabitation. The terrain is hostile, with large tracts of it suited more to horses with hooves than men on wheels. But the remote environs also hold a sense of wonder, and our mental image ends with rugged mountains wrapped by swirling winds, which leave gentle ripples on untouched lakes before whistling their way through coniferous trees.
