The Himalayan Spiti Escape 2019 with Mahindra Adventure
Yes, after Siberia it was again time for some action. From the frozen lake and negative temperatures direct into the mountains and valleys of the Himalayas. My friends from Dubai, popularly known as the Dubai Gang on the Mahindra circuit, decided to be on the Himalayan Spiti escape expedition considered to be one of the toughest drives. Reason 1 was it’s the Drivetech team handling the expedition and reason 2 was Bijoy, Chief of Mahindra adventures would be with us. Our first experience with the Drivetech team on the IMT expedition was so awesome, that we were looking forward to do the expedition with them again. Online bookings were on,…

The Monastery Escape 2017 with Mahindra Adventure
4 Months after booking the Monastery escape adventure, finally the day arrived. This time round its not my friend who is partnering me, its my brother Julian Dsouza. Reached Delhi after a boring flight from Dubai and the drive from the airport to the hotel was more boring with the cab driver swerving from from left to right negotiating the crazy Delhi traffic. The Hotel, Oberoi Maidens, a heritage hotel built in 1905 with its British Architecture and spacious rooms was a good start to the trip. The evening started with the usual registrations, medical tests and handing out of the goodies. The ritual of picking up lots for the…
