Hussain meets several people during his journey, including

army officials, tourists and also IPL cricketer Parvez Rasool.

He also visits some strategic army landmarks including the Kaman Post.

He chose the month of May-June for his expedition because it is only during this period when the Zoji La (Pass), which links Kashmir to Ladakh, is thrown open to traffic by the Indian Army.

"More importantly, the thick carpet of snow on its wide and often unmotorable stretches depletes in this season, making it conducive for a motorbike ride," he says.

Though he countered numerous hairpin bends, sharp gradients and extremely bad roads, little did he know that extreme weather conditions would almost dash his dream.

The Zoji La, literally meaning the pass of blizzards, was in bad shape due to rains and Hussain was advised by all including his wife not to continue with his ride.

But not willing to budge, he decided to take a bus journey to Leh and from there continue with his journey with a rented motorbike thus realising his dream of riding to Turtuk.
