Saiyami Kher shoots a first of its kind travel documentary on bikepacking in Italy

Saiyami says, “This has been one of the best trips of my life and a project I was most excited about. We put together a team and shot this Documentary in Italy. We have cycled over 300 kms. The distance wasn’t the problem at all, it's the climbing on a bicycle with all the loud luggage that I was worried about. I did my first pass which was around 2000 mtrs in a day. And we climbed around 4000 meters in all. I have bike packed before. Basically you carry all your luggage for the trip on your bike. I have always believed that exploring a place is best when you can do it on a cycle. I have bike packed before from Berlin to Prague and fell in love with exploring places on a cycle. Which is why I couldn’t wait to do this bike packing trip in Italy. I have the best squad with me. Which made it even more fun. On tough days my motivation was finishing in order to eat pizzas and gelato :)’
