Celebrating the spirit of adventure in the launch issue of Engage 4x4, the official magazine of the Mahindra Thar.

Legendary rally driver and off-roader Hari Singh takes us on a epic drive through the most remote corners of Arunachal. The Thar goes dune-bashing at its namesake. We go in search of the snows in the Himalayas. Down South we (left hand) drive the great-great-grandfather of the Thar. And we tell you how to get lost with Mahindra Adventure, be it on a weekend drive or a cross-border expedition to destinations like Mount Everest base camp, Iran, Egypt, Russia not to forget our immediate neighbours.

Our behind the scenes access kicks off at the Mahindra Design Studio where head of design Kripa Ananthan gives us an all-access tour. We then sit down with the lead designers to document the story of how the new Thar came to life.

Experts have penned tutorials on off-road equipment, off-road driving, mods and upgrades so that you don’t experience what they have — getting stuck while showboating on dates!

And most importantly the off-road culture is a huge part of the magazine with stories on and by the community. Get muddy with India’s only 4x4 magazine!
