Our Expedition Vehicle
No doubt the vehicle is an overlander's lifeline and we are no exception to it. When we first started checking our options in the market, a lot of things went through our minds. How big should it be? How strong should it be? What's the ideal no of seats that we should have etc. Etc. We checked out a lot of brands, Tata, Mahindra, Eicher, Toyota. Based on our onroad experience we finally chose Tata's winger maxi van. India and its neighbouring countries present a lot of challenges on the road. Narrow roads, crowded markets, animal traffic are some of them. We went with Tata looking at their widespread network in the country. They are just ever present. Built on a sturdy yet comfortable Tata chassis our wheels are totally modified and customized to suit our demanding needs. Serviced and tested regularly by authorised Tata mechanics, one can stay assured of a smooth ride.
Now after using it for almost 4 years, it is our trustee machine which doesn't let us down.

Thar desert and has ventured in the deep jungles all around the country. It has also survived
the snowline of the frozen Himalayas. After customisation it comes fully equipped with:
