Aizawl, the 26th November, 2025: Mizoram Governor, General (Dr) Vijay Kumar Singh, PVSM, AVSM, YSM (Retd), hosted a warm and vibrant cultural reception at Durbar Hall, Raj Bhavan, Aizawl, this evening for the members of the ‘New Bike Expedition -Northeast on Wheels’, organised by the Namaste India Foundation. The expedition aims to foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of Northeast India.

Addressing the gathring, the Governor extended a heartfelt welcome to the expedition team, expressing his delight at their visit to the beautiful and serene state of Mizoram. He particularly appreciated their visit to the picturesque Champhai District and encouraged them to continue exploring other equally enchanting districts of the state. Highlighting the warmth, hospitality and helpful nature of the Mizo people, he noted that Mizoram is an ideal destination for tourists and that the state regularly organises various festivals that showcase its rich cultural heritage.

The Governor praised the noble objectives of the Amazing Namaste Foundation and urged the riders to carry forward the positive image of Mizoram and the Northeast wherever they go. He requested them to share their experiences with others upon returning home and motivate more people to visit the region. Recalling his own visit to the Northeast in 1971, he remarked that every state in the region possesses its own unique and captivating charm.

Pu Atul Kulkarni, Chairman of the Amazing Namaste Foundation, expressed profound gratitude to the Governor for personally hosting the reception at Raj Bhavan. He explained that the Foundation is undertaking various initiatives to help people across India discover the true essence of Northeast India, and the ‘New Bike Expedition -Northeast on Wheels’ is one such significant effort. Emphasising that the expedition is not merely an adventure ride, he said it is primarily aimed at enabling participants to understand the live, ecosystem and culture of the people of the Northeast. He added that the riders engage with local communities at every destination and convey their gratitude to the respective state governments for the cooperation extended.

During the programme, riders shared their memorable experiences from the journey. A captivating cultural performance by the Lily Veng Cultural and Drama Club added to the festive atmosphere. The Governor interacted with each member of the expedition, while stalls showcasing traditional Mizo attire and handicrafts were set up on the Upper Lawn of the Raj Bhavan for guests to admire and enjoy.

The event was attended by members of Aizawl Thunders, Lushai HOG, Triumph Mizoram, along with several prominent local biking enthusiasts and invited guests.
