Madagascar Ruthless RN5 with Nomadic Road
The first thing that comes to mind when you hear “Bolivia” is, “The place where Earth meets the skies” and “The vast white salt flats of Uyuni”. When Venky from Nomadic road announced Bolivia specifically for our group known as the Baikal Boys, I signed up straight away without hesitation. Joy, my close friend had told me that he would like to join me on these expeditions. When I asked Venky if I could bring Joy on board as my partner, he readily agreed and we signed up as a team. The usual gang members Neeraj, Deepak, Mittal, Ram, Ashlyn, Ajesh, and Jos had all signed up and we had…

Nidhi Satty- Wanderer Beyond Boundaries
A few years ago, I had read Bijoy Kumar’s column in one of the magazines that referred to them as the GODS OF THE DUNES. From that moment on, the curiosity and intrigue got the better of me. I was fortunate that some of them had joined us on two of our expeditions in other geographies…that was my first introduction to them as people. But yesterday, one understood why the reference. Just out of words to express what one experienced. You might have heard or read or experienced the touristy dune bashing…but this was seriously next level…pure passion, almost art. Top class driving, phenomenal vehicles – off-road modified, terrain that…

The Zambezi Meander (Zambia-2021) Expedition with Nomadic Road
Nomadic road was back on track after almost 2years in oblivion, thanks to corona. Luckily I had done an expedition in North Kashmir this year in February and was waiting for some action to happen. Then came Venky’s call about the Zambezi meander expedition in Zambia and it was an exclusively boys trip for our Siberia gang, there was no chance of backing out. The brochure and details were enticing too. Somehow permission from Home ministry had to be obtained and it was difficult this time, but approved. Once confirmed, the process of booking tickets and visa formalities began. The brother in law duo of Suresh and Vijay couldn’t join…

Iceland Expedition Self Drive Expedition 2018 with Nomadic Road
This was barely 2 months from the India Myanmar Thailand expedition. After celebrating Christmas and New year, it was time again to start preparations for the Iceland expedition. Important thing would be the Schengen visa and getting equipped for the adventure in snow. My 2 friends who were supposed to join me on the expedition had to pull out at the last minute and I was left all alone in my vehicle. Days passed by quickly in anticipations and preparations and the departure date of 10th Feb came sooner than expected. My flight to Reykjavik was booked via Oslo and in total it was a nine hour flight + 2…
