As the members of the rally had to pedal their way past mountainous terrain, this experience will imbibe in these youngsters the qualities of team spirit, adventurous outlook and inculcate the traits of working together as a cohesive unit. The involvement of the Army in providing the adventure opportunity to the youth was amplified by the participation of Maj Gen AK Singh, Kilo Force Commander, himself as one of the participants.

The locals made full use of this wonderful opportunity and established lasting bonds of friendship with Army and returned back successfully after having gained wealth of experience
