Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu, who was recently seen riding a Royal Enfield Interceptor 650, has now been seen taking his adventurous spirit to a new level. He went on an off-road expedition with Union Minister Kiren Rijuju in Tawang district. In the latest video posted by Pema Khandu, in his effort to boost tourism in Arunachal Pradesh, the 40-year-old Chief Minister of the state is seen driving an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) in the snow in Tawang.
The expedition was a 107-kilometre ride from Penga Teng Tso Lake to Mago, crossing an altitude of above 15,600 feet. Along with the video, Pema Khandu also shared a few photographs in which he is strapping a crash helmet and gloves before taking the charge of the steering of the four-wheel adventure vehicle.
The video shows, the Arunachal Chief Minister riding the vehicle on road with the snow-capped mountain on its one side and a steep fall on the other.
