Story

In the spirit of “You Only Live Once”, “Zindagi Na Milega Dobara” and:

“ You Can’t change what you’ve done in the Past, and you don’t
know what the Future holds, BUT you can live in the present”.....

Meet 6 friends coming together for a common purpose - Amish, Mehul, Sachin, Harsh, Parag & Minesh - who are doing just that:

We are aiming to traverse 2,800 km across the subcontinent of
India, in 2 weeks, in a pair of 3 wheeled motorised rickshaws!

Starting from Bangalore in the southern state of Karnataka, we will make our own route through forests, deserts, hills and farmland to Jaisalmer in the northern state of Rajasthan.

We will have 2 days to pimp, decorate and kit out our rickshaws, named: Hakuna Matata, before learning
how to drive them 
along the chaos that is known for Indian roads.

Whilst our primary aim of this adventure is not to elicit donations
from you 
– given the sheer madness, trials and tribulations we are likely to face – we’d be crazy if we didn’t try and raise some money for a very worthwhile charity!

JUST IMAGINE - set up and run by members of our local community,
provide 
nutrition, medication, education, and accommodation to children living with HIV in orphanages in Goa and Ethiopia. Every
penny raised will go straight for the benefit of these children who deserve so much more.

We are completely self funding our adventure, and in addition, the
6 of us will also separately be donating £1,000 to Cool Earth, a charity
committed to protecting the environment and saving the rainforest:

We kick off in Jan 2019… so the countdown begins.  Please check out our Hakuna Matata Facebook Page, and follow us in the run up to the adventure.

Thank you for all your support,

Amish, Mehul, Sachin, Harsh, Parag & Minesh
