The ‘Saddle Borne Warriors’ Motorcycle Expedition was ceremonially flagged off from Missamari on 26 October 2025 by Lieutenant General Gambhir Singh, General Officer Commanding, Gajraj Corps, in the presence of senior veterans of the Indian Army.
The expedition, comprising over 55 riders — including serving soldiers, veterans, and women motorcyclists — will traverse more than 900 kilometres over a span of seven days through the rugged and pristine terrain of the Eastern Himalayas.
The rally aims to commemorate the reinvigoration of the historic Chhetri Memorial at Tulung La, which stands as a tribute to the valour and supreme sacrifice of four gallant soldiers of 5 Assam Rifles who laid down their lives in 1975.
The expedition is a powerful expression of the Indian Armed Forces’ indomitable spirit of courage, endurance, and unity, reflecting the unbroken bond between serving personnel and veterans. Riding through the breathtaking landscapes of Arunachal Pradesh, the participants symbolise the spirit of adventure, patriotism, and resilience that defines the men and women of the Indian Army.
This initiative by Gajraj Corps not only honours the legacy of bravery but also reinforces the spirit of camaraderie and motivation among troops and ex-servicemen alike.
