In the thin air of the Himalayas, where roads vanish and breath becomes a luxury, one rider chooses solitude over safety, silence over applause. These poems trace the contours of a journey that goes beyond asphalt—into the heart, into fear, into a strange and stunning peace. From a Ladakhi home’s warmth to the frozen winds of Umling La, each verse is a footprint on a road less spoken of.

This book is an attempt to tell the entire story in poetic form—raw, personal, and unfiltered. It captures not just the milestones, but the inner turbulence and fleeting moments of stillness. For those who dream of high passes, quiet nights, and impossible roads, these pages carry the weight of breathless altitudes and the hush of stars above an exhausted soul.
