As per the officials, offbeat destinations including Daksum, Sinthan Top will be covered by the rally, which will finally culminate at Kokernag in south Kashmir.
“The rally was flagged off today from Verinag. Various offbeat destinations of south Kashmir including Daksum, Sinthan Top and Kokernag will be covered in this two day event. The idea behind this event is to promote the south Kashmir destinations which are offbeat and explored by less people,” an official said.

Participants from various parts of the valley displayed remarkable enthusiasm in engaging in diverse activities such as cycling, mountain biking, ATV riding and off-roading. “The event is not only aimed to encourage adventure seekers but also advocate astro-tourism in the region,” the official said.
