Would you make a trip around (half) the world by bus?

The Adventures Overland travel company hopes that many will answer this question in the affirmative.



The company is expected to inaugurate a bus line that will depart from New Delhi in India and eventually reach its destination, London.

This, of course, without involving any flights.



This is the first bus line of its kind between these two destinations, and it will accommodate 20 passengers who will enjoy a luxurious and luxurious bus.

These journeys will be inspired by the "hippie buses" that passed between the continents of the world in the 1950s and 1960s.



On its way, the bus will pass through 18 countries and the entire journey will last 70 days.

On the company's website, passengers are asked to bring a valid passport, which has at least 20 blank pages.

The whole trip: about 20,000 km

During the trip, passengers will be invited to skip well-known attractions: visit the pagodas of Myanmar (Burma), walk the heights of the Great Wall of China, explore in depth the cities of Moscow and Prague and more.

In addition, in each and every country, local guides will join the bus.

The entire trip will last about 20,000 km.



CNN reports that Adventures Overland was founded by the pair of entrepreneurs and sworn travelers Tushar Agarwal and Sanjay Madan. "The idea was inspired by an amazing solo trip I made from London to New Delhi back in 2010," says Agarwal. "This is an absolutely fantastic journey."



Since the company's inception, three such trips have been made, but these have been made using private cars of the travelers, who traveled in a convoy between the countries. "However, many travelers want to experience these overland trips, "," He explains. "That's how we came up with the idea of ​​a bus that transports between the two destinations, where you can sit comfortably and embark on the long journey."

$ 20,000 and you're in

The first trip is expected to take place in May 2021, under the constraints imposed by the corona plague.

"The best time to embark on a trip of this kind is between April and June. This is due to the comfortable weather, especially when crossing the mountain ranges of China and Kyrgyzstan," explains Agarwal.



This trip will definitely not be cheap, and the pair of developers estimate that the price will be approximately $ 20,000.

However, you can only embark on part of the journey, which is divided into four sections.

The bus line will of course be two-way, and after arriving in London, 20 new passengers will board the bus, which will do the opposite way, to New Delhi.



Agarwal promises that this is a "once-in-a-lifetime trip", and describes how wonderful the changing landscape is during it.

"It's an experience that can only happen on land," he says, noting that on previous car convoy trips, the age of hikers ranged from five to 75.



Since the new initiative was announced, the two have been flooded with leads, with about 40,000 people already expressing interest in joining.

"We expected positive responses, but we certainly did not expect such an amount of responses," they say.
