About Abhi
Life is short. The roads are long. The world is waiting.
Welcome to What’s Abhi Doing? — a space for motorcycle adventures, extraordinary destinations, unforgettable journeys, and photography that captures the soul of a place.
I’m Abhishek Prasad, better known as Abhi. I’m a motorcyclist, adventure enthusiast, traveller, and photographer based in Pune, India.
For most of my professional life, I’ve balanced a corporate career with an ever-growing desire to explore the world. Somewhere between everyday responsibilities and weekend escapes, I discovered something important: life becomes a lot more meaningful when you make time for the things that make you feel alive.
For me, that’s riding into the mountains, discovering roads less travelled, chasing the monsoon clouds, exploring hidden places, meeting people along the way, and capturing moments that deserve to be remembered.
And that’s exactly why What’s Abhi Doing? exists.
It’s where I share my adventures, the places I discover, the lessons I learn, and the experiences that make me want to pack my bags, fuel up my motorcycle, and hit the road again.
If you’re someone who loves motorcycles, adventure, travel, nature, or photography, I think you’ll feel right at home here.
So, buckle up. There’s a lot of road ahead!
My Story: From Everyday Life to Extraordinary Roads
I’ve always believed that there’s more to life than following a predictable routine.
Growing up in Betul, a small town in Madhya Pradesh, gave me an appreciation for the simple things in life. Over the years, my professional journey took shape, but my curiosity about the world never faded.
I built my career, embraced responsibilities, and continued to explore whenever I could.
Eventually, I realised that travelling wasn’t simply something I wanted to do during my annual leave. It was something I wanted to make a meaningful part of my life.
I wanted to see places beyond the usual tourist destinations. I wanted to experience the mountains in their raw beauty, ride through unfamiliar landscapes, wake up to mist-covered valleys, and discover what lay beyond the next turn.
I didn’t want to collect destinations just to say I’d been there. I wanted to collect experiences, stories, and memories.
That’s when my passion for motorcycle touring and adventure travel began taking on a life of its own.
Today, I continue to balance my corporate career with my passion for exploration. Every ride, every trek, and every new destination reminds me why making time for what you love matters.
Because the best stories often begin when you decide to take the road less travelled.
Two Wheels. Endless Possibilities.
Motorcycle riding is more than a hobby. It’s freedom.
There’s something special about travelling on a motorcycle.
You feel the changing weather, experience the landscape as it unfolds, discover little villages along the way, and become part of the journey rather than simply passing through it.
For me, riding is about freedom, discovery, and the excitement of not knowing exactly what awaits around the next bend.
My Royal Enfield Meteor 350 has been my companion on countless adventures, from winding roads around Pune to challenging mountain journeys across India.
I’m also part of The Storm Riderz, a motorcycle riding group that started in March 2021. What began as a shared passion for riding has grown into a community of friends who have explored countless roads together.
We’ve completed more than 100 rides, including extended journeys through Ladakh, Spiti, Zanskar, and South India.
Some rides challenge your endurance. Others reward you with breathtaking landscapes. And some leave you with memories that stay with you long after you’ve returned home.
Every journey has something to teach you.
Through What’s Abhi Doing?, I share these experiences honestly — the beautiful moments, the unexpected challenges, the planning, and the little discoveries that make every adventure worthwhile.
What you’ll find here:
- Motorcycle rides and touring routes around Pune.
- Weekend escapes, scenic roads, and destinations worth discovering.
- Long-distance motorcycle adventures across India.
- Travel itineraries, route planning, and practical preparation tips.
- Motorcycle touring experiences, lessons, and recommendations.
- Hidden destinations, mountain roads, waterfalls, and monsoon adventures.
Whether you’re planning your first weekend ride or dreaming about a motorcycle expedition across the Himalayas, I hope my experiences help you plan your next adventure.
Your next great ride might be closer than you think.
Why I Created What’s Abhi Doing?
I created this website for a simple reason: I want to turn my experiences into something useful and inspiring for others. Every adventure teaches you something.
You learn which roads are worth taking, how to prepare for unpredictable weather, what equipment makes a difference, which destinations deserve more time, and what you would do differently next time.
Over the years, I’ve gathered experiences that I wish I’d had access to before some of my own journeys.
I realised that sharing these lessons could help other riders and travellers plan better, avoid common mistakes, discover new destinations, and feel more confident about setting out on their own adventures.
That’s the purpose behind this website.
I don’t want What’s Abhi Doing? to be just another travel blog filled with photographs and destination descriptions.
I want it to become a useful resource for people who love exploring — a place where inspiration meets practical information.
Here’s what I aim to bring you:
Real experiences, not just pretty pictures.
I share my journeys, observations, and lessons from places I’ve actually explored.
Practical information you can use.
From routes and itineraries to preparation tips and travel recommendations, I want you to find information that helps you turn ideas into real journeys.
Inspiration to explore more.
You don’t need months of leave or an extravagant budget to begin exploring. Sometimes, a short weekend ride is all it takes to discover something wonderful.
Photography that makes you see places differently.
I want my photographs and visual stories to inspire curiosity about the world around you.
A community of people who share the same passion.
Whether you ride solo, travel with friends, explore with your family, or enjoy adventures through a camera lens, there’s room for you here.
Ultimately, my goal is to encourage more people to step away from their routines occasionally, discover new places, and create stories of their own.
