Padmaksha Ghatage’s ‘Cycle Waari’ Achievement

On 13th June 2026, Padmaksha Ghatage of Podar International School, Chinchwad, completed a remarkable “Cycle Waari” from Pimpri-Chinchwad to Pandharpur, covering 240 km in under 17 hours. Starting at 3:00 AM from Chinchwad, he rode with determination, stemming through strong headwinds and high temperatures, crossing the 150 km mark at Indapur before reaching Shri Namdev Maharaj Payri, Pandharpur at 7:45 PM.

Felicitated by the Shiv Sahayadri Warriors Cyclist Group, Pune, Padmaksha was honored as the youngest rider to conquer this grueling route. His feat reflects extraordinary discipline, stamina, and mental strength. The school will feature his story in the upcoming magazine to inspire students, as his achievement embodies the grit and dedication we strive to build.
