TRAVELLING is a very important aspect of life. Being at xBhp, we have been fortunate enough to get to travel a lot. Yet, it is never enough. And there is a simple enough explanation. Travelling never gets boring because it is dynamic. Even going to a place that you have already visited does not guarantee that it will be the same experience. One’s everyday life can get boring but travelling seldom does.
That is why we are always on the lookout for opportunities to quash the travel bug. Even short weekend getaways can work wonders taking one’s mind off of the mundanities of life. This story is about one of those very getaways. There were a few things that we did differently though. Instead of going out to enjoy the ride, we went out to enjoy the drive.
We are motorcycle people through and through. But ever since we have added the Mahindra Thar to the xBhp Garage, we find ourselves looking for excuses to take it out. The Mahindra Thar is a stuff of legends because of its off-roading capabilities but the latest iteration is much more than that. It is a more complete car now, something it achieved by being a very sorted road car in addition to retaining its legendary off-roading capabilities.
Generally, we love thrashing it around and taking it to wherever there are no roads. But for this getaway, we just wanted to enjoy the drive, and listen to the highway, the roads, and the mountains. But then, we also wanted to be ready for a bit of rough stuff too because you never know what you might find. And so, it was time to get into the preparations.
