To reach Australia, Irshad will conclude his overland journey on the coast of Indonesia, from where he will continue by ship to his final destination. Once in Australia, he aims to explore well-known landmarks before eventually returning to India.
Despite the challenges that lie ahead, Irshad remains undeterred in his pursuit of this epic adventure. In one of his videos, he can be seen resting at a campsite, taking a moment to recharge for the road ahead.
