Col. Sohan Roy (Retd), a 77-year-old veteran of the Indian Army, has achieved a remarkable feat by riding solo to Umling La Pass, the world’s highest motorable road at 19,024 feet, in Leh, Ladakh. Between 20th and 30th August 2025, he undertook this challenging journey on his trusted Royal Enfield Classic 500, Wizard, braving relentless rains, landslides, power cuts, and communication failures along the route. His achievement stands as an inspiring message to all generations that determination, discipline, and passion never age.
