Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd has revealed the calendar for season eight of the Mahindra Adventure initiative.
Kicking off the events lined up for the year is the Monastery Escape, which is slated to be held from June 16-27, 2018. Starting from Delhi, the expedition will see participants make their way to Leh via the Manali-Leh route with stops at Manali, Jispa and Tso Moriri. After a break in Leh, participants will head to Kargil.
A new addition to the expeditions calendar is the Everest Base Camp – The Summit, set to take place from September 22-October 1, 2018. After a ceremonial flag off at Kathmandu, the convoy will set off towards Nyalam and Tibet, crossing the border into China through the Friendship Bridge. Thereafter, the convoy will drive through Tibet, to the city of Lhasa.
Another classic event that’s part of the calendar is the Himalayan Spiti Escape, slated to be held from September 8-17, 2018. Authentic Bhutan (October 20-27, 2018) and Royal Escape (December 25, 2018-January 1, 2019) round up the expeditions planned for season eight.

The Off-road Trophy rounds, however have been limited to five zones. The winners from each of these five zones will compete at the Mahindra Off-Roading Trophy Grand Finale and stand a chance to win a Mahindra Thar CRDe 4x4.
