Thrills and Spills: Off-Roading Adventures in Rajasthan and Kumaon 

Off-roading has a remarkable ability to create lifelong memories, especially when shared with your loved ones. My first adventure led me through the breathtaking landscapes of the Thar Desert and the serene Kumaon Hills, weaving tales of excitement and discovery that sparked my passion for off-roading.

Escape to Kumaon

Travelling to the Kumaon Hills with my spouse was an incredible experience. The drive started out on winding roads, with fresh air and a change in landscape from bustling towns to peaceful hills. The adrenaline rush was real as we made our way through the narrow, and occasionally frightening, hills. Every curve of the road came with breathtaking views that seemed to go on forever. 

One of the highlights of the journey was discovering hidden and untouched spots off the beaten path. We travelled to a secluded location overlooking a lake, and just as the sun was dipping down behind the hills, it painted a vibrant mix of pink and orange. It was a peaceful moment that made all the effort of the tiring off-roading worthwhile. 

Moonlight Escape: Road Trip to Shekhawati

My friend and I set out on our first lengthy road trip together—an exciting adventure from Lucknow to Shekhawati. The twelve-hour drive was filled with laughter, shared stories, and a few unexpected challenges. We were determined to embrace the spirit of adventure as two females on an excursion. 

After travelling over rugged terrain and taking in Rajasthan’s colourful scenery, we went dune bashing, the thrill of which sent our hearts racing. It was an incredible feeling to be able to tackle the rough pathways and feel the pleasure after conquering the sandy slopes. The drive led us to windmills that stood tall against the setting sun, providing an ideal setting for some priceless pictures. 

Wilderness Escape: Touring Sariska Tiger Reserve

Our family’s visit to Sariska Tiger Reserve combined cultural richness with animal exploration. The forest drive was itself an adventure,as we reveled in the thrill of being surrounded by nature’s pristine beauty, encircled by lush greenery and the lively sounds of the wild. 

We visited the hill temple recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where the calm surroundings and historic building lent an air of tranquillity. Nestled inside the reserve, Pandupol Temple gave our excursion an air of mystery. The intriguing legends surrounding these hallowed locations enhanced our comprehension of the region’s past and customs. 

Every off-roading adventure with Mahindra x Thar Expeditions has been a voyage of learning about the relationships we have with our loved ones, nature, and cultures. Whether it was navigating the tough hills of Kumaon, the wide dunes of Rajasthan, or the abundant fauna of Sariska, these trips have generated lasting memories and given me a taste of the joy that comes with off-roading. Every trip serves as a reminder that the route is just as significant as the final destination– especially when it’s taken with the people we care about.
