Mahindra & Mahindra has unveiled the Mahindra Adventure Calendar for Season 5. Mahindra Adventure functions as an umbrella brand with a series of adventure and motor sports events under it. Mahindra Adventure continues to unleash its spirit of adventure through a series of events spread across the year.
Here are the events lined up under Mahindra Adventure Calendar:
• Great Escape – The off-roading event (since 1996) continues to test the endurance of Mahindra’s 4×4 vehicles on diverse terrains. We have added two new locations, Chennai & Nagpur, and continue with the previous eight locations across India, where winners from these locations get to compete at the Mahindra Adventure Off-Roading Trophy.
• New Multi-Day Escape, such as Super South Drive – an epic drive through southern India, has been added. Other drives like Authentic North East (10 days) & Spiti Escape (7 days), which were added last year will continue along with the classics like Monastery Escape (Leg 1; Delhi- Manali-Jispa-Sarchu-Leh–Srinagar & Leg 2; Srinagar-Leh-Sarchu-Jispa-Manali-Delhi, for 10 days each), Royal Escape (6 day expedition celebrating the new year in Rajasthan), Tri- Nation Escape (Bhutan, India & Nepal – 14 days), Authentic Goa (The real Goa in 4 days) & Wild Escape (4 day foray into wildlife sanctuaries of Central India). These multi-day escapes celebrate incredible India and the sub-continent by traversing exotic and unexplored locations, thereby bringing the concept of ‘Adventure/Driving experience’ to a larger audience.
• Mahindra Challenges like Spice Challenge (4 days) & Monsoon Challenge (3 days), which are TSD (Time Speed Distance) rallies are also planned, in tune with the company’s promise of providing adrenalin pumping challenges and promoting motorsport at the grass-roots level.
