Hey all travel geeks...same as we are Lalit & Jyotika...we know each other for last 5 years and have been married since Jan-2007, Natively we are from Delhi, currently staying in Pune. I am working as Project Lead with Infosys and she is working as Sr. Web Designer. We both jussst crazy about travelling and enjoy it most by our Honda City ZX . read more in our travel experiences...

We are the best candidates because...

We are best candidates because we are crazy for travel and adventure and love to do it by driving across, we have covered almost all the hill stations and other places in north in an year after our marriage. Our first trip after marriage (apart from honeymoon in Goa) was Delhi - Dehradun & Mussorrie by road in our newly bought Honda City ZX, then to Haridwar Rsihikesh (rafting) Simla, Kufri, Nainital, Corbett, Jaipur, Udaipur, Vaishno Devi . Then after relocating to Pune we have travlled to most of places within 350Kms radius like Lonavala, Khandala, Alibaugh, Kashid, Nagaon, Marood, Shirdi, Mahabaleshwer, Matheran, Ganpati Phule, Singhad etc. and above all driving through Mumbai - Pune Express way. All these trips we have covered by road driving our own car and above all the BEST ONE is driving through Delhi - Pune while relocating to Pune. We took Delhi-Jaipur-Udaipur-Ahemadabad-Mumbai-Pune route. During this we covered almost half of the golden quadrangle around 1700 KMS and this makes us unique and most deserving candidates as we both drive and have capability to drive long distances great sense of drving and respect to life while driving. Jo (Jyotika ), she is the best navigator and provides immense support when i get tired or feel lazy while driving and when she drives i make her comfortable and always boost up her confidence while she drives on highways.

Our Travel Plan

Our plan for "The Great Driving Challenge" within India is to complete our rest of the Golden quadrangle ( half of it already completed (driving Delhi - Pune). Now want to compelete it starting from Mumbai - Chennai - Kolkatta and then want to drive through Hills of North East as that part beautiful part of India is still left for us to travel.

Our Travelogue

Here is the quick spotlight of our traveling & adventure experiences: 1) Honeymoon in Goa: Apart from all the masti and fun on beaches did all the adventurous sports water scooter, bumper ride, doughnut ride, and most exciting para sailing and riding through the small dark streets and lanes of Goa on Honda Activa was too thrilling and exciting. 2) Nainital: Driving through hale storm while on our way back to Delhi was too thrilling. That was one of the most keen driving experiences of us as it required lotts concentration and control over the machine. and most adventurous the stay in corbett park through ngith and then hunting for tiger early morning was thrilling. (didn't get fortunate enough to get a glimpse of tiger :(. 3) Dehradun, Mussorie, Rishikesh, Haridwar: Dehradun my favourite place to visit anytime as i spent the best 4 years of my life (completed Btech from there) and taking my wife to that place was altogether a different feeling. Then too take her through horryfying curves of dehradun-mussoorie road was great fun and was exciting. Then on way back to delhi experienced Ganga White water rafting which actually one of the most adeventurous sports. Though i did it few times when i was in college but it's ultimate experience with your life partner. Then attended the world famous Ganga's evening Aarti at Har ki Paudi Haridwar. 4) Simla : Drove through Delhi at 4:00 AM after completing my night shift and then enjoyed the snowfall in Simla and the drive from Simla to Kufri the drive of my life through snow which became more slippery due vehicles passing over it making it flat, hard and slippery. This was where actual skills were required as it required good control over the machine in every terms like speed, brakes, space estimation and all. 5) Mumbai - Pune Express Way : You can't get better than this on indian roads. Beautiful views around the road, constant and controlled speed, real test for skilful driving as need to know where & how to change lanes, how to apply brakes on high spped, how to overtake and requires all the drinign descipline. 6) Munnar Kerala: Travelled through Tea Plantations, Dams, Sandalwood forest, wild life centuries, water falls, etc. Other experiences include Alibaugh beaches, Trekkeing at Lohagad Pune, para gliding in Panchgani Mahabaleshwer, etc. Lot of stuff to tell but the space is too less.
