Rahul Gandhi embarked on a remarkable journey from Ladakh to the picturesque Pangong Lake this past Saturday. The 53-year-old political leader, recently reinstated as a Member of Parliament, is presently touring Ladakh as part of a special visit to commemorate his late father, Rajiv Gandhi's, birth anniversary on August 20.

On his Instagram page, Gandhi generously shared snapshots of his scenic expedition, accompanied by the caption: «On our way to Pangong lake, which my father used to say, is one of the most beautiful places in the world.» The images capture Gandhi sporting full biking gear as he confidently maneuvers a «KTM 390 Adventure» bike, leading a group of fellow riders. In response to his Instagram post, numerous users expressed their admiration, including his sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, who conveyed her feelings with three heart symbols.

Later, the Congress party also shared photos and videos of Gandhi's voyage to the lake on X (formerly Twitter). Notably, this journey marks Gandhi's first visit to Ladakh since the northern state of Jammu and Kashmir underwent a historic transformation, splitting into two Union Territories – Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh.
