Hi! I'm Ritik Kratzel

Usually a web developer, but right now, I've hit pause on coding to embark on an extraordinary 100-day journey. My skateboard and I are cruising from the Himalayan heights of Manali to the southern shores of Kanyakumari, covering around 4000 kilometers. Come along as I soak in the beauty, embrace diverse cultures, and share every thrilling experience. Let's share this amazing journey together!

Journey Details

Starting from the majestic hills of Manali on 1st Jan 2024, I'll be embarking on a daily journey of around 40 kilometers, cruising through the heart of India. Over the course of 100 days, my skateboard and I will traverse 11 states, immersing ourselves in the diverse landscapes and rich cultures that make India truly extraordinary. The states on my route include Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Goa, Karnataka, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu. Join me as I explore, adapt, and share the unique experiences each state has to offer!

A Personal Message

I really have no idea how this trip is going to end. Not sure how I'll survive the coming 100 days. I am aware of the risks of getting robbed, getting hit, or facing some unfortunate events. In addition, I’m a cold-blooded animal who has serious issues with heat and a fear of dogs chasing me, which I know will happen. But, what to do? I can't just sit and watch TV and daydream all my life. I want to break out of my comfort zone, explore the unexplored (at least by me!) parts of India, and eventually venture into other parts of the world. While not my original goal, I also hope to inspire others, spread joy through the art of skateboarding, ignite passion, and showcase the sheer enjoyment of the sport. Through this expedition, I want to convey the message that no dream is too big. Everything is possible! I really hope that soon I won’t just be writing these ideas on a page, but will actually have accomplished something.
P.S. See Daydreaming. Again"
