Four young men from Bengaluru embarked on a 2,200‑km journey in an old auto‑rickshaw, arriving in Areraj, East Champaran, Bihar, ahead of Deepavali and Chhath festivals.
On Saturday, November 7, 2026, four young men left Bengaluru in an old auto‑rickshaw and set out on a 2,200‑km trek to Areraj, East Champaran, Bihar.
The journey crossed multiple states, covering a distance that would normally require a bus or train.
They reached Areraj ahead of the Deepavali and Chhath festivals, possibly to celebrate with family or participate in local rituals.
The trip underscores the lengths people will go for cultural observances and the challenges of long‑distance travel in a small vehicle.
