About the Adventure we'll all be graduating this year or next from Bath, Coventry and Birmingham universities respectively... So what better way to celebrate than to spend 3weeks criss-crossing India's rough roads and tracks on what has to be the most ill-adapted to the task machine, the famous auto-rickshaw.

Inspired by the images of Clarkson, Hammond and May of TopGear fame, eam TuktukGear is set to recreate the "feel-good" atmosphere of the BBC program with a humanitarian twist.
Our aim: to drive down the length of the Indian subcontinent (Kathmandu to pondicherry) on the mythical (auto)Rickshaw (going head-on against the monsoon!) as part of the Rickshaw Run.

And what are we doing that (and incidentally risking our lives) for? CHARITY! Support us and support MercyCorps and FrankWater, our chosen charities

But beware: WE BRAKE FOR NOBODY

Our Challenge //

Rickshaw Run Summer 2008

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...
