My Dream Road-Trip from Mumbai to Dubai

Wondering where to head this Winter?? I have just the perfect option for a Road Trip. DUBAI.

Never Heard off... and Totally Unique. You can be the First to tell a story worth every word.

A journey on road with about 5,500 kms stretching across SEVEN countries in a more than comfortable Mahindra XUV. The car is a monster when it comes to off road travelling. Big on wheels, big on mileage, classy solid looks, power packed features and so much more than you can know only when you are behind its steering wheel.

Check this map from Mumbai:

Still why XUV??

  • Performance: 140bhp (103Kw) mHawk engine with 330Nm torque and a 6‐speed transmission, 5th Generation VariableGeometry Turbocharger
  • Technology: All Wheel Drive with Interactive Torque Management; 6” touch screen Infotainment System with GPS, DVD, CD, MP3, FM, USB, iPod connectivity; Driver Information System, Micro Hybrid technology; Fully Automatic Temperature Control with dual HVAC; Static‐bending projector headlamps with LED parking lights; Voice Commands, Cruise & Audio Controls on steering wheel; Smart Rain & Light sensors; Tyretronics (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System); intellipark (Reverse Parking Assist System); Power‐foldable and adjustableORVMs
  • Safety: Electronic Stability Program (ESP) with Rollover Mitigation, 6 Airbags (front, side and curtain) ABS with Electronic BrakeforceDistribution (EBD),HillHold Control&HillDescent Control
  • Comfort and Convenience: Leather seats, flat‐folding 2nd and 3rd row seats, 8‐way height‐adjustable driver’s seat including full lumbarsupport, lounge‐likemood lighting,tilt and telescopic steering

Considering mileage of about 15 kmpl, we need about 370 lts of diesel. With current rates, that should cost around INR 21,000. Add INR 15,000 on lodging and moderate eating. Now split this amount with the 6 people travelling and you spend INR 6,000 per head, one way. And you reach in 7 days with halts.

Now that the cost of my my dream journey is sorted, whats you will need for this Super awesome trip is:

Its going to be a long road, people. So make sure you have a dynamic company and not someone who sits and stares at the blank sky. Lots and lots of amazing music and you will remember this time. You will find many nice eateries on the way. And last but not the least, one large fresh carton of Beer as you need fuel too ;)

I got this fab idea while surfing online on facebook.com/AmbiPurIndia. So surf more online and offline.
