sumeet paringe

My self Sumeet Paringe from Mumbai, India. I am a cyclist, engineer, photographer, explorer who aspire to travel the world. My first ride was in area of Chandrapur. A core naxalite area of MAHARASHTRA state. This ride without proper training and equipments gave me numerous experiences and showed me real unseen India. After another ride to Kanyakumari, my next ride begun in July 2014. This time the destination was far in himalayas. Northern most point of India, Base camp of Siachen. Worlds highest war front. Strictly Off limits for civilians. Reaching Siachen army officials made me realise that it was the first time a civilian has travelled this far just to lend a flag to their soldiers. A proud moment to set foot on that battlefield. ‌In 2015 after 11 months I took out my bike again and reached east cost of India. After almost an year in search of another journey finally I was offered a chance to pedal from Kanyakumari to Khardungla for cause of education of girl child. A ride along total length of India, and this time on a bamboo bike. Indigenously designed and manufactured by Godrej Co. ‌This page is dedicated to stories which I have lived while pedaling. 13000 kilometres and counting.
