Around six years ago, Raj Kaushal Chettri was invited on a road trip from Manali to Leh. From the comfort of his car, he saw a few cyclists take on the rugged terrain en route, and once back home, cycling had a whole new meaning for the teenager. He soon started mingling with the other cyclists and found his place in the downhill and enduro events.

The first specialised bicycle was procured on loan, but with the training in place, it took him little time to finish on the podium at many events across the country. He even showcased his skills in the film, ‘Bawli Booch’, which went on to win many awards. While working on his own abilities these days, he is also grooming the next generation of daredevils like him.
