OUR STORY

It Started With One
Impossible Idea

In 2012, two friends - Sanjay Madan and Tushar Agarwal - looked at a map and asked a question most people would laugh at: "Can we drive Around the World?" 15 months and 90,000 kilometers later, they had their answer - and a Guinness World Record.

That single journey sparked a movement. Today, Adventures Overland has guided 5,000+ travellers across 50+ countries, pioneering legendary convoys like Road to London, Iceland, Mongolia, Himalayas, Supercar Drives and a lot more.

We remain what we were on day one: drivers, dreamers, and believers that the best way to see the world is from behind the wheel.

Travel Beside Those Who Pioneered the Route

They Didn't Just Travel the World. They Changed How India Experiences It. What began as an ambitious drive across six continents evolved into India's leading overland expedition company.

Today, Sanjay Madan and Tushar Agarwal continue to create journeys that inspire travellers to experience the world from behind the wheel.

We don't sell trips. We engineer journeys that change the way you see the world - one road at a time.

Sanjay Madan

90+ Countries90,000+ KMGuinness Record

Sanjay Madan has driven across 95+ countries on six continents — and turned that experience into one of the world's most distinctive expedition companies. In 2013–14, he and Tushar Agarwal became the first Indians to drive around the world in a single vehicle, covering 90,000 kilometres across 50 countries over 15 months — a journey that became the TLC and Discovery television series The Great Indian World Trip.

He holds a Guinness World Record (longest journey in a single country — 17,107 km across Australia in 28 days) and fifteen Limca Book of Records.

Tushar Agarwal

6 ContinentsTEDx SpeakerGuinness Record

In 2010, Tushar Agarwal left his career as an IT consultant, got behind the wheel, and drove from London to Delhi — the first Indian to do so. That 51‑day, 17‑country journey became the seed for everything that followed.

He co‑authored two travelogues — Road Affair and The Great Indian World Trip — documenting expeditions that include the Trans Himalayan Challenge (a 5,500 km non‑stop drive), the first drive to Mana Pass (the highest motorable road in the world), the ASEAN India Car Rally from Singapore to India, and the round‑the‑world drive with Sanjay. He is a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, London, a Guinness World Record holder, and a National Geographic–recognised explorer. His travel experiences span 95+ countries, and he remains personally involved in route design for every AO expedition.

The Great Indian World Trip

"The Great Indian World Trip" is an incredible story about two guys who beat all odds to live their dreams of driving all around the world in their car. Sanjay & Tushar spent two years planning the journey, and even after failing to secure enough money, they still decided to go ahead. Incredibly, help kept coming along the way and bit by bit, slowly and steadily they continued progressing and finally after 15 months, they realised their dream of driving 90,000 kilometres through 50 countries in six continents!
