How many people in one car?
We recommend two people for one car. If you decide to bring more friends along, then one vehicle can accommodate a maximum of four people. If none of your friends are able to come along, then you are welcome to join us alone. We will put you up with another single participant or you can share a vehicle with us depending on the situation.
Each expedition will have how many vehicles?
To ensure a memorable experience with individual attention, we intend to keep the group size small. Every self-drive expedition will have a maximum of 12 vehicles. Every self-ride expedition will have a maximum of 10 motorcycles.
How many kilometres will we drive/ride on a daily basis?
The idea is to have fun, create unforgettable memories and enjoy the beautiful locations without getting everyone fatigued. The number of kilometres that we cover daily will depend entirely on the geographical conditions, terrain conditions and nature of the activities planned. In a day, we will drive/ride a minimum of 250 kilometres and a maximum of 400 kilometres.
Will we be driving/riding continuously?
No. We will be compulsorily taking a break after every two-three hours of driving/riding for refreshments, bio breaks or to simply enjoy the #roadwithaview.
For how many hours we will be on the road?
On an average, depending on the route and weather conditions, we will be driving for around six to eight hours (with breaks).
Will we be driving/riding on every single day of the expedition?
We will be driving on most days. However, on one day (say after five days) there will be a break. It will give everyone time to explore the local place and indulge in some shopping. On certain self-drive expeditions, a day of break might be necessary for everyone to get acclimatised to high altitudes.
Who will be leading the expeditions?
All four members of Epique Adventures will be present on all the expeditions. The convoy of vehicles will be led by two members in the front while the other two will be in the tail-end vehicle.
