About the Adventure
We have called our team the Kontiki, inspired by the expedition which Thor Heyerdahl undertook many years ago, crossing the pacific on a vessel made of simple balsa wood. We feel its an appropriate name for an expedition which requires driving an oversized lawnmower from Kathmandu to Puducherry, put-putting across roughly 4500km of testing roads and terrain...
The team consists of
- Marc van den Berg, a dutchman by passport but on this trip representing the courageous and famously lavish Alpine kingom of Switzerland, his home of several years
- Simen Thorbeck, a hardened and ubreakable Norwegian Viking with the only mechanical experience of the team (he owned a green moped when he was 16.)
We’re taking some time out from the white-collar everyday life in banking to participate in this epic challenge, giving those in need a helping hand, and hopefully having the adventure of our lifetime.

The Rickshaw Run Summer 2008 is pretty simple. With no preparation and less luggage one flies to the subcontinent and does one's damndest to force 150cc of Indian engineering over thousands of miles of questionable terrain in around two weeks.
Upon arrival in Nepal we pause briefly for a game of cricket followed by tea and cakes before revving our engines and setting off. We stop on...
