From Baddi village to Kanyakumari,on a tractor

“In view of recent reports from the border and the uproar over disintegration of states,we decided to dedicate our journey to national peace,” said Virk,a 33-year- old farmer and advocate from Tohana. Virk will be accomapnied by Amit Chaudhary,a school teacher and fellow adventurer with whom he shared the Limca record for the ‘Longest expedition in Himalayan region’ in 2012. “We will also have a video crew with us to record interviews of people from different regions,” added Virk.

Virk plans to cover more than 13 states in 19 days. “In a tractor,the greatest challenge is to overcome fatigue as we will be required to drive for more than 18 hours at a stretch given the time limit we have set for ourselves and the slow speed of the vehicle. At the same,it is also very exciting as nobody has ever attempted such an expedition on a tractor before,” said the travel enthusiast Amit.
