This Independence Day, freedom wasn’t just celebrated in speeches or parades, it roared on the highways. From 15th to 17th August, Explurger brought together passionate bikers, including 6 creators, for Riders Connect: Ride for Freedom, a journey from Delhi to Pushkar that captured the true essence of travel, community, and exploration.
Riders Connect is part of Explurger’s Creator Connect initiative – an effort to bring together like-minded explorers in real life. For bikers, the road is more than a route; it’s a lifestyle. And when they come together as a pack, it’s pure magic. Explurger is committed to creating such experiences where people don’t just travel, they connect, share, and inspire each other.
The Ride from Delhi to Pushkar
The event flagged off at 7 AM from Sector 29, Gurugram, with 30 riders including 6 influencers. The convoy was a mix of machines – from the Bajaj Freedom CNG bike to superbikes like the Triumph Rocket and Triumph Tiger, with most in the 200-400cc range.
30 different riders weaving 30 different stories. The ride was as much about the journey as the destination. Riding out in formation, the group moved through the open highways of Shahpura, where the roads stretched wide and free.
The highlight was Sambhar Lake – India’s largest inland saltwater lake – where the view opened up into endless silver waters under the sky. Riding alongside something so striking gave the group a shared sense of awe, making it more than just another stretch of road.
From there, the route led into the cultural heart of Pushkar. The entry into the town, with its narrow lanes and vibrant colors, marked a shift from open landscapes to heritage and history. Strategic pit stops along the way kept the group connected, giving everyone space to regroup, ride together, and capture moments that defined the ride’s spirit of freedom and community.

Pushkar Experiences- Delhi to Pushkar Bike Ride
Moustache Pushkar – with its volleyball court, foosball tables, and a gorgeous swimming pool turned out to be just the relaxation experience that all the riders wanted.
Day 1 saw the worn-torn bikers coming in hot, then simmering down with a chill guitar and dance session.
Day 2 began with a visit to the Brahma Mandir, the world’s only temple dedicated to Lord Brahma, giving the group a cultural pause before heading to the Pushkar sand dunes for off-roading and content shoots. The desert backdrop added both thrill and unforgettable visuals.
By evening, riders relaxed by the poolside, followed by a facilitation ceremony where the riders received goodie bags, merch, and recognition, reinforcing the sense of belonging to a larger community. A walk through the Pushkar market, attending the aarti at the Brahma ghat and a lively DJ night closed the day on a high.
Day 3 brought the official close with a certificate ceremony, giving each rider a tangible reminder of the journey. Soon after, the group dispersed, but the connection built over three days made sure no one left as a stranger.
