Each signature expedition group size is between 8-12 individuals. In addition, you will be accompanied by our expedition management team.
Yes, if you are OK with it. For a comfortable drive we recommend that there should not be more than 4 people in a vehicle. But do note, the expedition price is based on 2 people sharing a vehicle. The price would be lower if more than 2 pax share a vehicle.
Yes, you get to be in control of the steering, all along. We wouldn’t want it any other way! However, if you wish to explore the country on wheels but don’t want to drive all the way, we can arrange for a chauffeur as well.
You don’t need to be an expert in driving a 4x4 to be part of our adventures. All you need to have is a good driving experience and a basic understanding of machines. Our expedition team will teach you how to drive on off-road terrains during the journey and help you get familiar with the machines.
Our expeditions cover a wide range of terrains, hence multiple climates. For each expedition you will be given an advisory on the weather and the kind of gear to bring. It’s best to read and abide by the same.
Most countries have varying requirements for the same. You will be notified much in advance about the same. Wherever mandatory you will need to arrange for an International Driving Permit/License.
It is entirely up to you. If you feel that they can enjoy the drives, they are most welcome. The charges may vary depending upon the age of child and hotel policy. Children above 12 years are treated as adults. It’s best to notify us at the time of booking. We do not encourage infants to travel.
Our accommodation ranges from ‘interesting’ to quite comfortable indeed. We always try to stay in the nicest place available and we look for things like hot showers and free wi-fi – we are not always successful though keeping in mind that some of the locations are remote. In such remote places, the accommodations would be basic, like a remote camp site which may not have showers, toilets or electricity.
Our rates are based on twin share accommodation. Single rooms are available on request for extra charge.
Breakfast is usually a hotel buffet wherever possible. Lunch tends to be while on the road. Sometimes we will have a packed lunch; other times we will be in a small town that can meet our needs. For dinner we try to include local cuisine and other options. We take your dietary needs prior to the start of the expedition and cater try to cater to them during the trip.
One of the main highlights of our expeditions is driving. Beyond driving, we try to include the opportunity to engage with the local people and culture where possible as well as ensure we visit interesting landscapes and historical sites. The expeditions are structured in a manner where there are relaxed days factored in to allow you to explore on your own.
We try to keep them not more than 6-8 hours on any given day. But there will be days which can be longer if the weather is bad. And on relaxed days, the driving is shorter.
Yes you can safely drive as a solo traveller. However, all cars are part of the convoy.
Yes. On every expedition, we have support vehicles with mechanics and backup driver.
Usually the support vehicle and the mechanics travelling with us are able to take care. Under an extreme circumstance where that is not possible, we try to provide you with a backup car.
The vehicles are insured but the insurance coverage varies in every destination. This will be explained to you in detail prior to joining the trip. Incase there are some damages that are not covered or you fail to inform in time, you may be liable to pay. Hence we always recommend every participant to have comprehensive travel insurance that covers rental vehicle damage as well./
Yes. We would love to create your dream trip. We have curated many custom expeditions in the past. Just send in your request and we will make it happen.
In our experience the paperwork involved and the transport cost is usually prohibitive, making it an unviable option. But if you are still keen to drive only your car, we can discuss on an individual basis depending on the destination.
Cancellations are subject to our cancellation policy.
Our expeditions are an all inclusive experience except for your international flights, VISA costs and other items of personal nature like, travel insurance, tips, laundry and alcohol. And during the expedition, we would have some days which are left free where you can indulge in experiences of your own choice – eat, shop, buy local souvenirs, and indulge in activities that are not mentioned in our itinerary. All these would be additional. Before each expedition, we will inform you about what all you can do during the trip, so that you can be prepared for it in advance.
