Mesharam's journey started on December 1. Whilst speaking to the media in Shimla, he said that his campaigning started soon after hearing a speech by Dalai Lama.

He said, "Tibet freedom struggle is in many ways connected to India. I will cover 7,500 kilometres through 12 Indians states and two Union Territories. My first cycle campaign was in December 2010, when I travelled through five states."

Free Tibet is a campaign to end to China's occupation of Tibet and for international recognition of Tibetans' right to freedom.
