In a powerful reminder that age is no barrier to ambition, a group of women bikers from Bengaluru has captured widespread attention after completing a demanding high-altitude motorcycle expedition to Nathula Pass, near the India–China border. The inspiring journey, which included an elderly woman riding with the group, was documented in a video shared by CRF Women on Wheels and has since gone viral on social media. The visuals have drawn admiration from across the internet, with many praising the riders’ courage, determination, and resilience.
Challenging Ride Spanning Multiple Countries
The expedition began in Bengaluru and stretched across thousands of kilometres, covering challenging routes through Sikkim, Nepal, and Bhutan. Nathula Pass, located at over 14,000 feet above sea level, stood out as one of the most demanding destinations of the journey. Known for its harsh weather, thin air, and rugged terrain, the pass tested both the physical endurance and mental strength of the riders.

The ride was organised and documented by CRF Women on Wheels, a collective recognised for promoting women-led motorcycling expeditions. The team included riders Seema Chechi, her elderly mother, and fellow riders Swapna, Anitha, and Sesha. Together, they navigated steep mountain roads, unpredictable weather conditions, extreme cold, and physical exhaustion, demonstrating that teamwork and determination can overcome even the toughest challenges.
More Than A Ride, A Statement Of Strength
The group described the expedition as far more than a road trip. According to the post, the international journey from Bangalore to Sikkim, Nepal, and Bhutan symbolised courage, unity, discipline, and the unbreakable spirit of women riders. Each stretch of road pushed comfort zones, while every rise in altitude tested physical and emotional limits.

Another caption accompanying the video highlighted the collective strength of the riders:
“Every kilometer challenged comfort zones. Every altitude tested strength. Yet the team rode on, together, determined, and unbreakable. This is CRF Women’s International Ride, where women cross borders, redefine limits, and inspire the next generation to believe that no destination is unreachable.”
