GUWAHATI: After setting a record by traveling across 64 countries on a motorcycle within a single year, international biker and ‘Assam Gaurav’ awardee Minakshi Das is now preparing for her next daring adventure. On Monday, she will set off from Guwahati for a challenging motorcycle expedition across five of the highest mountain passes in the Alps mountain range in Europe.

During this ambitious journey, Minakshi will navigate alpine routes through Italy, Slovenia, Austria, Switzerland, and France, showcasing not just her biking skills but also her spirit of exploration and endurance.

Minakshi is no stranger to high-altitude adventures. In 2019, she and her husband, fellow biker Bedanta Rajkhowa, successfully crossed the Umling La Pass in Ladakh—the world’s highest motorable road at 19,024 feet. With that accomplishment, she became the second female biker in the world to conquer Umling La.
