I, Siddharth Bhatnagar run my own garment agency in the heart of Delhi, Karol Bagh for last 10 years. My nature of work is mainly travelling like to Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, etc. I love to explore new places & like driving lot. My partner, Geetika Bhatnagar is teacher by profession but presently home maker. She is very adjusting as partner & good navigator to sit next to me. She likes music & singing, so she sings mostly while travelling

We are the best candidates because...

I feel I am good at driving & she is a good navigator. We both have travelled by car to Manali, Valley of Flowers, Auli, Badrinath, Recong Peo, Kalpa (Kinnaur), Chitkol (Sallen Valley) & many more. Whosoever we tell about our trips by Maruti 800 & Wagon-R gives us a very strange look. So, we feel by participating in this Challenge we can surprise everyone. We thing we both are best as our past experiences had build our confidence to except this driving challenge. Basically we both love to sing & drive

Our Travelogue

We had many countless trips to Chandigarh, Nanital, Mussorie, Rishikesh etc. But the most adventurous trip was Delhi to AULI/BADRINATH by Maruti-800. The Roads, climate made it more difficult & adventurous. Even our trip to MANALI in mid of January was best as we enjoyed driving with my Wagon-R on the roads covered with ice. It requires lot of patience & care as roads are narrow & sometime you are struck on the road for hours.. In June 2009, we planned to explore Kinnaur (Reckong Peo) in Himachal Pradesh. It was 231 Kms from Shimla, as it took 8 hrs to reach there. The roads are narrow & slippery because there are many small power generating project sites on the way. Sometimes SUTLUJ river which was running on one side , filled a long stretch of road with stream of water & made passage more complicated for small cars to cover the distance. Even we have to cross the dam by going under the gateways provided. But believe it or not the pressure of water flowing through dam and our small Wagon-R car under it still horrify us today. Also for enjoying the heavenly beauty of nature one has to cross all fears. In all we had 1400KMS trip with our kids.
