An all-Indian team is off on a mind-boggling and audacious driving adventure from Mumbai to Siberia, Russia. An off-road pioneer, Nidhi Salgame, of Wander Beyond Boundaries (WBB), and her team started off on an epic journey from Mumbai to Magadan, Siberia. Five vehicles were flagged off from the city on August 2 evening.

This is India’s totally desi, first self-drive overland expedition to Siberia. Indian vehicles, Indian tyres, and manned by an all-Indian crew. There is a convoy of five vehicles, which will drive 22,500 km in 75 days, crossing Nepal, Tibet, China, Mongolia and Russia to reach Magadan in the northeast corner of Siberia.  After arriving at the destination, the cars will be shipped from Vladivostok back to India. It is a race against time for the adventurers; they must reach Magadan before winter sets in and make it to Vladivostok in 12 days as they need to cross rivers before they freeze and the road is still open.
