Overland journeys with groups
of like-minded fellow travellers, can often last for months and across
countries. Overlanding, therefore, enables you to visit and camp at spots
completely inaccessible to travellers who use conventional transport or travel
formats. At the core of an Overland journey with Voyages Overland is a fleet of
safe and sturdy off-road capable trucks. Voyages Overland’s accommodation
during the trips is a judicious mix of camp nights, homestays, and offbeat
experiential properties.
Commenting on the launch Bhairavi Sagar, Co-Founder
of Voyages Overland, said, “The central idea of Voyages Overland’s itineraries
is to experience the outdoors like very few have, while never losing sight of
the tenets of responsible tourism. Most importantly, overlanding with Voyages
Overland is a carbon-positive, eco-friendly form of travel.” Their aim is to
bring back the groovy fun into community travel, gathering stories, memories,
and travel mates that last a lifetime.
Voyages Overland began when two avid
travellers decided to translate their passion and love for travel into a
business which focuses on ethical and responsible travel. From the small city
of Jodhpur to the financial capital, Mumbai, the vision for Voyages Overland
came to the drawing board in 2009 and after 7 years of research, planning and
working out the minutest detail, the idea finally took shape into Voyages
Overland in 2016 and is all set to launch.
Voyages Overland presently
covers three different circuits in India, namely – Rajasthan, The Himalayas and
Central India. The Rajasthan circuit is recommended for the lovers of culture,
art, architecture and those interested to see the vibrant colours of everyday
desert lives, the circuit in Central India is perfect for Overlanders with an
interest in spirituality, art, and wildlife. The circuit covering the Himalayan
range up north provides for a good mix of adventure and tranquil nothingness
along with tremendous stargazing and nature walk opportunities.
Voyages Overland currently is
gearing up for their upcoming trails in the Himalayas for the months of May to
August.
