‘Prashanth’ means peace, calm and, when I am on my motorcycle I am at Peace.
My motorcycle was my first love and will be my last. My passion for riding has remained unwavering for nearly four decades, and it has always been a part of my life.
Riding through various terrains and countries, alongside my riding buddies for cause, adventure and fun over the years, has broadened my horizons, enriched my life, created lasting memories, and Created a positive impact (Bring children back to school, life saving impact during Covid and many more)
I’ve tackled many challenging rides, such as riding to Kardungla Pass(highest motorable road in 1991), exploring North East and Spiti Valley in India, and completing coast-to-coast rides across the USA for a cause, which helped 300 students return to school.
Always up for a challenge, I have successfully completed the Iron Butt ride.
Leading the IFMR India chapter, planning and executing both cause-based and adventure motorcycle tours has given me vast experience in organising motorcycle tours.

With a passion for motorcycling that spans over 28 years, Prashant Mishra is a seasoned rider with extensive experience in long-distance and adventure rides. His journey on two wheels has taken him through some of the most challenging terrains in India, including the breathtaking Leh-Ladakh Circuit and the rugged Spiti Valley Circuit. Prashant’s dedication to motorcycling is not just about the thrill of the ride; it’s about making a difference. Over the years, he has participated in several cause-based rides, spreading awareness on important social issues while representing the International Fellowship of Motorcycling Rotarians (IFMR).
One of Prashant’s most remarkable achievements came in August 2025, when he successfully completed the coveted Bun Burner Ride — covering an extraordinary 2,500 kilometres within 36 hours — a testament to his endurance, discipline, and passion for the open road. This endurance ride adds to his earlier milestone, the Iron Butt Challenge completed in 2022, where he rode more than 1,600 kilometres within 24 hours.
