Motorcycle Diaries across India & Nepal

This moment came when I wished for a travel adventure together with an idea to be photographing social issues and the reality of life cultures, on a motorcycle! With a project called ‘Ride Of Lights’. It a simple way for me to keep going on exploring, while creating ideas to support those I’ve cross paths with.

The Mission?

My goal is to explore parts of rural India and Nepal on a motorcycle. To empower local children, support education, life needs and solar lights for 3 to 4 different villages. Note that I have been into these locations when I was there during the Nepal Earthquake relief aid in 2015. So I hope to raise US$1 – US$2 for every 1km I ride.

You can send funds (USD, Credit Card) via my Crowdfunding page YouCaring/RideOfLights. Or choose the other options below: 

  • Send funds internationally direct to my Paypal account via Paypal.me (mobile friendly)

Every penny matters when it comes to even small ideas in India and Nepal, as the paper currency converts to a bigger purpose when used in these rural locations, material cost and supplies, food, accommodations.  


My adventure started in Chennai, with the Royal Enfield 350cc Classic, get it all repaired for the big solo expedition. Then off  across Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Slums in Mumbai, Gypsies of Rajasthan, Punjab. Next going up to the Himalayas too.

After crossing the most dangerous routes of LEH, Ladakh, I will then make my way into Nepal, crossing borders and heading to the rural areas. I still haven’t mapped it all out, or how long will this take, maybe 1/2 years of my life.

 

Final location: Varanasi, India

Distance (KMs completed): 19,500 km

Total Funds Raised: US$20,196

 

WHERE WILL THE FUNDS BE USED?

  • School materials – US$ 10,500                  
  • 500 Nokero Solar Lights – US$ 7,500
  • Motorcycle Expenses – US$ 3,500
  • Accommodation and Food – US$ 3,500

 

These are rough expenses for the next 2 years, as the figures will change depending on environment and project locations. There is also other cost like, photography work, internet, equipment, website, etc but that I will try to find other ways of getting them. 

“So send me a few KMs 1km = US$1.00. Choose to send me as many KMs you like so I can keep going.” – Kiran 

So here I am today, with hopes in keeping that promise. With a motorcycle expedition, my backpack and my camera. Choose to SHARE your Voice, Time or Money to make this dream a reality! All you have to do is choose one of these three steps. Do something.

Speak to me about collaborations for this expedition/project.

Love & Light,
Kiran Kreer
