If roughing it out amidst adversities could have a person to represent it, actor Amit Sadh would be a top contender. After arresting the audience’s attention with his debut in Abhishek Kapoor’s "Kai Po Che" and making his art known to the discerning viewer with fleshed-out parts in "Sultan," "Sarkar," and "Gold," Sadh is one of the most sought-after performers for OTT web series today. Amidst his busy life and hectic work schedule, the talented performer carves time away from his everyday routine.

　　“I've grown to find that solace in the embrace of nature. It's in these precious moments of escape that I reconnect with my inner self. During these escapades, mostly on a bike, I adopted the mantra —‘Motorcycles Saved My Life’,” he says. “Incidentally, my motorcycle chronicles were recorded with this tagline (MSML), too.”

　　One such journey that stood out etching a profound love for the great outdoors in his heart, is the one he had earlier this year. It was a 5288-kilometre solo expedition on his trusted Triumph Tiger 1200cc motorcycle that carried him from the bustling heart of Mumbai to the stunning landscapes of Kinnaur, Spiti, Zanskar Valley, and Leh.

　　“It wasn't just a test of riding skills; it became a transformative soul-stirring experience. As we wrapped up the sojourn in Leh, I brought back vignettes from that place that enriched my worldview. That season was transformative. It also helped me connect with my fans in a new way—who witnessed my authentic self on this personal journey of discovery and growth,” he said.

　　Exploring Remote Corners

　　While season one was a test of endurance, season two of MSML took him into the wild landscapes of Leh and Ladakh, continuing the adventure on the same trusted motorcycle. He ventured beyond the well-trodden paths, stepping off the tarmac and into remote, hidden corners of the region. “We pushed past what’s familiar and found treasures in places that are so raw, so untouched that they seemed almost timeless. The landscapes I explored this time were even more otherworldly. I rode through remote villages, explored vast plains, and visited spots so isolated that it felt like I was venturing to the ends of the earth. In a way, these places haven’t changed for centuries. And it’s there—in these tucked-away corners of the world—that I truly began to see the life and culture that thrives away from the spotlight. That’s exactly the kind of magic MSML is all about—the ability to step beyond just passing through and fully immersing in life, living out Carpe Diem,” Sadh elaborates.

　　The Nomadic Life

　　His first stop took him to Tso Kar Lake, where he ventured into the Thukje village near the lake. Living in this village was an experience unlike any other. It was raw, real, and connected to the land in a way that’s hard to describe. The adventure didn’t stop there. The actor travelled deeper into the Kharnak Valley, a place that almost seems like it’s suspended in time. ‘I met Chopel Ji here. He’s the Goba, the leader of the nomads of Thukje. In his hidden temporary settlement, I learned about the nomadic way of life—the sacrifices, the challenges, and their deep bond with the land they roam. These encounters made me feel small in the grand scheme of things, yet deeply connected to the heart of these lands and the people who call it home.”

　　What really struck him was how little they asked for in return. The nomads don’t seek recognition or admiration but are some of the most resilient and grounded people. “It wasn’t just about surviving in such a harsh environment—it was about thriving in a way that respects the land and everything it provides. Riding through this terrain, meeting these people, and learning from their way of life - this journey was more than just about crossing kilometres or ticking off bucket-list locations. It was about understanding a deeper connection—a bond between the rider, the bike, and the road, yes, but also between me and the world around me,” Sadh says.

　　A Double Rainbow In Merak

　　I rode through some of the most remote plains in the world, where the only signs of life were the wild animals roaming freely. From blue sheep to kiyangs (wild horses) and even herds of goats across vast stretches of land, this part of the ride offered a glimpse into nature at its most untamed. One of the highlights of this journey was riding to Merak Village, located on the southern banks of Pangong Lake. A peaceful, serene spot, far from the crowds, where he camped by the lake and braved the icy waters.

　　“You’ll get to witness the breathtaking landscape—the stillness of the lake, surrounded by towering mountains, and feel the true essence of this remote village. Plus, you’ll see a moment that might sound too surreal to believe: a rare double rainbow, adding an unexpected touch of magic to an already extraordinary location.”

　　While in Merak, Sadh also met a group of international riders exploring India, and it was a reminder of how motorcycles have a unique way of connecting people. After Merak, the actor biked to Thiksey, where he met a senior Lama.

　　“Our conversation left me with a calm that lasted throughout the rest of the journey. But it wasn’t just about the talk; it was the connection we had that surprised me. From there, the journey took me to Sasspol and Alchi, where I explored Buddhist meditation caves and ancient petroglyphs. But there was something unexpected inside these sacred caves—something that stood out and made me question the respect we give to these spaces. People had scribbled their names on the walls, and seeing that left me unsettled. But then, of course, I reminded myself that sometimes, the most profound moments are when we let go of distractions and simply allow ourselves to be present.”

　　A Real Adventure

　　MSML isn’t just about the ride—it’s about everything that comes with it. It’s about the joy, the freedom, and the experiences that make life worth living. And for Sadh, the joy of riding is something he wants to share with his audience. “It’s why MSML exists—to get people to smile, to connect with their inner spirit, and to experience the joy of riding in the way that I do. I want people to feel the rush of the wind, the thrill of the road, and the beauty of the landscapes I explore. What makes this journey special is that it’s never just a shoot or a ride. It’s a real adventure, with real people sharing real experiences. It feels like I am creating a movement—one that celebrates the joy of riding, the connections I make, and the life-changing experiences that come with it.”
