Himachal Pradesh | July 3, 2025 — A small village in the foothills of the Himalayas is beaming with pride as its own, Mehreen Dhillon, an 18-year-old amateur motorist, has etched her name in the Record Book.
Mehreen has been officially recognized as the “Youngest Female to Drive Across Winter Spiti Circuit in Snow”, completing an incredible 1,192 km journey through one of the most treacherous and breathtaking terrains in the country.

Her achievement is being hailed as a symbol of courage, resilience, and women’s empowerment in adventure sports.
Locals, friends, and family members gathered to celebrate her feat, with many young girls in the village inspired by her daring drive. “This journey was not just about the kilometers, but about proving that passion can beat any obstacle,” said Mehreen.
Her accomplishment has made waves across the state and beyond, encouraging a new generation of fearless youth to explore uncharted paths.
