In the land where warriors once tested their might on stone and soil, the summer mountains still whisper the same challenge — “Dare to rise?”
BURJ 2026 is not a race; it’s a yudh (battle) against your limits, forged in the Sahyadri’s silence, sweat, and sacrifice.
The sun would be harsh, the elevation would be unjustifiable.. only your will to win will take your beyond.
