Jeep & 4x4 Lovers: This Is How We Do It In India

Off-road adventurous are fast catching up in India - this includes manufacturer backed events. Mahindra makes some of the best SUVs and 4x4 vehicles for the masses in India and even assembled the good old Jeep some decades back. Their current model, the Thar, resembled the Jeep a lot and is modified extensively by users.

This was my drive for the day-notice the broken winch cable?

Here are some images from a recent Mahindra 4x4 event held in Goa - this was part of the "Great Escape" series and was purely for customers. I flew down from New Delhi to cover this - we had a blast getting lost in the narrow forest trails. So much so that my flight from Goa back to Delhi had to be postponed by 4 hours. Enjoy the images

Yes, even she was there

Powering it out

I was always looking around for safe spots to park my Jeep, run, take shots and then join the convoy again

The white one was stuck and I had the winch - tried coming from the side but slipped to the right thanks to gravity

Perfect place to camp?

Some sections were really easy

Tyre grooves were full of mud and hence this - no traction

Here is a 10 min video involving lot of clips that I shot via a Moto G5 Plus - no extra audio, just the raw footage. Enjoy - CLICK TO PLAY
