Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday rode a bike to Pangong Lake in Ladakh where he will be celebrating his father and former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi’s birthday on August 20.
In pictures, shared by Rahul Gandhi through his official Instagram handle, the Congress leader is riding a KTM 390 Adventure as other riders follow him. The MP is seen in full biking gear including a helmet, gloves, riding boots, and a jacket as he enjoys his ride through the picturesque mountains of Ladakh.
Some of the photos were also shared by the official X handle of the Congress party with caption, “Upwards and onwards – Unstoppable!”
Gandhi is expected to stay overnight in a tourist camp near Pangong Lake.
Tsering Namgyal, Congress’ Leh district spokesperson and leader of opposition in LAHDC-Leh, said on Friday, “He hasn’t been to Pangong lake and wanted to see it and spend some quality time.”
