Total Vote(s) : 7 | Total Testimonial(s) : 1

We are Karan Deep Singh & Chandana Kaur from Chandigarh, Karan Deep is a business man who is passionate about travel & Chandana Kaur is a busy house wife with her hands full with two grown boys aged 16 and 17. We both love travelling, meeting new people & lots of adventure. Not sleeping at night after a late night dinner, packing and leaving for Goa in a car from Chandigarh in the wee hours is part of our day to day activity, with just a note to inform our family that we will be back after 3 weeks. Having the rest of the family flying in to join us at Goa just after 2weeks because we miss them is also not out of the ordinary. Adjusting to any kind of a situation is no problem.Both being cancerians can adjust to each other very well & can understand easily what the other wants where Chandana is head strong stubborn till her work is done. Karan uses his brains, and tries to stay out of trouble till the work is done . With us it is will power & brains that is our strength, and we make a good team together. Our strength is our compatibility and that we both love the same things....

We are the best candidates because...

We love travel, but one can argue many do so why us? Well we are passionate about it to such an extent that we chose to live with our parents so that we could travel at will, as the kids do not miss school and can stay with their Grandparents. Then Karan quit his business and went into semi retirement at the age of 39 because he suddenly realised that he has a blank passport and has not gone beyond the boundaries of the main cities of India. We both are so passionate now that we dedicate at least 3-4 months in a year to travel and holiday, not counting the small week end trips. To tell you of just last year at how crazy we are about travel that Karan last year took of all on his own with a Golf set just in case on a trip to find his Soul in the heart of India- Uttar Pradesh, as my younger son had his 10th board exams coming up and had pre-boards to study for so I had to stay home for moral support. It was July with the temperatures soaring to 40+ . He played Golf at Agra with strangers he met a night before and then on to Allahabad at the Army Golf Club, where he walked across the greens to a playing four ball and then fixed a game for the next morning. Made life long friends with the Col and then returned the courtesy by playing with him in Chandigarh. Went ahead to Lukhnow to Cafe Coffee Day walked in heard two guys talking over coffee about boarding school, went up introduced himself as a product of one too, got invited for dinner by one of the persons who turned out to be a Nawab.... he did not play Golf here as it got cancelled due to the night having ended too late. Nawab 'Farid' as he is called by friends made him richer by sharing his experiences and now we are all good friends just because of our passion to travel......... By three weeks of touring the entire Uttar Pradesh our elder son joined him at Moradabad and both of them then went to Jim Corbett sighted cubs and stayed at Marchulla for Mahseer fishing....... Most of our friends do not believe that one can travel in the heights of summer all alone and that to to Uttar Pradesh and not to the hills....I think this is a very strong testament to ones passion to travel. - Chandana

Our Travel Plan

There are no plans in place as I am not sure yet what the Challenge involves....But the way we are we are sure that the Challenge will actually be a pleasure and we as such do not need to make too many plans as it takes the pleasure away from travel.....


 

Our Travelogue

We have travelled from Chandigarh to Goa and back by road two years back, doing about 5,000 kms in about 20 days, it was our most exhilarating trip by car. Our trip to the rough, dry, often hostile terrain of the Leh valley showed us both how much hardship we can endure, spread over 22 days we visited every nook and corner this side of Kargil, and did 1800 Kms of driving just in Leh and Ladhak regions often clocking 200 - 250 kms a day. We also visited the remote areas of Chisul and did all the lakes Pangong Tso, Tsokar and Tsomoriri. We went to the Numbra valley and did the Morre plains twice... Trip to UP as mentioned above where in I travelled all over UP without a plan in the height of summer because I wanted to see the heart of India and where it has disappeared. The discovery was that for some profit the pimps of the world had 'pimped my Mother' away, I was confronted with nothing other than cement with more cement, disgusted at what I saw, as it turned out to be a witness of rape of my mother, my beloved mother India. It was a soul searching trip.........As yet have not found it especially where I had expected to. On an earlier excursion had taken the Volvo truck FH 12 380 Tractor with a trolley carrying 70 Tonnes of food grain from Moga Punjab to Gorakhpur and then Carrying cement from Sikkim to Guwahati and on our return we got Coal from Assam to Punjab. In total it was a 14 day return trip of about 5000 kms and with me driving for about 2000 kms. We slept in the cabin and travelled Day and night. As it was a competition of sorts to measure the fastest turn around time for a Volvo from Punjab to Assam. Andaman Island is also a wonderful holiday I remember and we ended up seeing the Jarava tribe from far on the beach, did snorkelling and deep sea fishing on 'Dungis' (Small boats). Visited all the islands normally visited by tourists near Port Blair but also visited 52 small and large Islands. On one such day of Island hopping we visited 17 islands on one day, and the islands were so small that one could literally see the other side from where one stepped off the boat at entry. We happened to make friends with the Director of Health Services there and he oppened up a new world seldom visited by tourists. Courtesy him we could do so much of Island hopping and beach visiting. London was a beautiful holiday.driving around in Scotland was another experience we enjoyed together, a thirty day trip which I felt was too less a time to see the country side. Our best trips were the ones where in we would feed the place of our stay and then we would ignore the voice of the GPS guidance systems assisting us. Get lost go into small towns and villages and then follow the voice when we wanted to get back on track. It was very enjoyable, as we reached places like Burnt Island and made friends with immigrants who hardly get to see any Indians in those parts of the country, but thanks to the GPS we could be more adventurous as we always knew how far we had wondered off from our course. Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand have been done twice in the last three years and each time it was for a month. Dubai with the sand safari was a pleasure but this was a small trip of just 4 days in 2007. Israel and Jordan was a fantastic trip especially to Jerusalem. Stayed at Jaffa a small town close to Tel Aviv, but we were so welcomed as most of the time we were mistaken for Arabs by the Palestinians in Israel, and the Jews did not have any inhibitions regarding us and greeted us with 'Sat Sri Akal' as most of the youngsters have passed through Chandigarh or Amritsar and were well acquainted with a Sikh. Jordan was a one night halt but a local Jordanian arranged for a visitors pass for us and we were allowed to visit the city for 6 hours wherein we were joined by a local businessman who took us out for lunch to one of the most popular sea food restaurants in Jordan. Was amazed to see that every one lived behind barricaded doors with bullet proof glass as a patio outside their main door, a safety precaution both in Jordan and in Israel. And now hopefully more memories will be created with this 'The Great driving Challenge'. - Chandana & Karan
