The Indian Himalayan Autorickshaw Run is no ordinary race. It is a daring escapade that tests the limits of both participants and their vehicles. Covering a distance of over 2,500 kilometres, the race begins in Leh Ladakh and concludes in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan. The route traverses some of the highest motorable passes in the world, including the treacherous Rohtang Pass, and winds through picturesque yet challenging landscapes.
The race is not just about speed; it’s about endurance, strategy, and the sheer will to overcome unpredictable challenges. Participants drive through bustling towns, serene villages, and breathtaking mountains, experiencing the diverse culture and hospitality of India along the way. Each day brings new obstacles, from navigating narrow, winding roads to dealing with mechanical breakdowns and extreme weather conditions.
Our Journey
Our carefully planned itinerary ensures we make the most of this experience. Starting on September 1st, we will navigate through the stunning yet challenging landscapes of northern India. Each day will bring new adventures as we drive through bustling towns, serene villages, and breathtaking mountains.
Our journey is not just about reaching the destination; it’s about embracing the adventure and making meaningful connections along the way. As we traverse the varied terrains, we’ll share our experiences, raise awareness for Cool Earth, and showcase the importance of preserving our natural environment. This race provides a unique opportunity to combine our passion for adventure with a cause that truly matters.
Fundraising for Cool Earth
While the race itself is an exciting adventure, our primary goal is to raise awareness and funds for Cool Earth, a charity dedicated to halting deforestation and climate change. Cool Earth works alongside rainforest communities to protect the world’s most endangered rainforests. By empowering local communities, they create sustainable solutions that benefit both people and the planet.
We are leveraging our journey to raise awareness through social media, sharing our experiences and the importance of rainforest conservation. By documenting our adventure and the challenges we face, we aim to inspire others to support Cool Earth and contribute to the fight against climate change.
How to Support Us
Supporters can contribute to our cause by donating directly to our fundraiser. Every contribution, big or small, makes a difference. By joining hands, we can help Cool Earth protect vital rainforests and ensure a sustainable future for generations to come.
As we prepare to embark on this incredible journey, we are filled with excitement and determination. The Indian Himalayan Autorickshaw Run is more than a race; it’s a testament to the power of adventure, community, and the collective effort to make a positive impact on our planet. Follow our journey, support our cause, and together, let’s make a difference.
