THAR VISITS THAR
30 DECEMBER 2022, FRIDAY
This day was the red-lettered day for both me and my Raging Red Thar. On this day, we explored the Thar desert. We did sand dune-bashing and off-roading from morning to evening, first time for both of us [i.e., me and my Thar!].
After bellyful breakfast buffet, we drove deep into the Thar desert, far away from other tourists and motorists.
Rajasthan Motorsports had taken prior permission from BSF for our exclusive drive. We were given walkie-talkie through which Mr Madan Choudhary of
Rajasthan Motorsports gave instructions and guidance at regular intervals. Added to that,
Rajasthan Motorsports made excellent arrangement in providing delicious, mouth-watering buffet lunch under a tree [oasis?].
Rajasthan Motorsports team took care of everything: communication, photography, food, support vehicle for rescue, and what-not. In one instance, when I was driving in 4L on a sharp bend slowly, my Thar got stuck. I tried in vain reversing, steering left and right, but nothing worked. Then, Mr Madan Choudhary and his team tried their best pushing, shaking, even that did not make my Thar come out. Finally, their rescue team winched out my Thar in few seconds! From then onwards, I drove in 4H, D-mode, maintaining momentum all along. I learnt the first lesson of off-roading in the Thar desert.
We returned to
Desert Glamping for a well-earned superb buffet dinner. Yes, we were pampered with well-spread buffet of breakfast, lunch and dinner on all the days.
Now, let the pictures speak.
More to come.
