About the Adventure
Uncle/Nephew team Marc and Dan Vandervaere take on the Indian subcontinent... in a Tuk Tuk.
The Rickshaw Run 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 only to wet our whistles on the occasional gin and tonic at specially selected refreshment points.
Start line: Kathmandu, Nepal on 1st June 2008
Finish line: Pondicherry, India about two weeks later
Distance: Depends on the route taken!
Altitude and monsoon rains added to the usual dirt tracks, jungle, bad roads and awful driving combine to make the Rickshaw Run a fine vintage of adventure and stupidity.
Not only an adventure in itself, we are raising cash for two great charities that operate in the region - Mercy Corps and the Frank Water Projects.
Will we make it? Stay tuned to find out!

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.
