Meet Your Expedition Leaders
Two of India's most decorated motorsport riders lead every AS23 departure — not as guest appearances, but on the bike, on the road, for all eight days.
Ankur Saikia
Ankur has spent over a decade racing India's toughest off-road terrain, with podium finishes across the Indian National Rally Sprint Championship (INRSC), the Rally of Himalayas, and SJOBA. He's also the founder of AS23 Moto Shop — which means the person leading your ride through Northeast India is the same person who built the route. As Expedition Leader, Ankur sets the pace on every technical stretch, from Shillong's hill roads to the climb into Tawang.

Monty Stunts
Monty holds the world record for stunts performed at 19,024 ft on Umling La — the highest motorable pass on Earth. Known nationally as MTV Stunt Maniac, he's spent his career pushing what's possible on two wheels, from stage shows to some of the most remote roads in the country. As Expedition Leader, Monty brings that same fearlessness to guiding riders through the high passes of Arunachal Pradesh.
