This Independence season, we invite you to be part of a truly special journey — a 5-day patriotic road trip through some of North India’s most iconic and historically rich destinations. It’s not just another tour; it’s an emotional ride into the heart of India’s past. Whether you’re a solo rider, a family traveller, or someone just looking to feel more connected to India’s roots — this drive is for everyone. From well-maintained roads to scenic routes, we’ve carefully planned every detail. A fully-equipped support vehicle will trail the convoy throughout, along with professional tour managers to guide, assist, and ensure everything runs smoothly. So, all you need to do is drive, soak in the sights, and feel the pride.
Each day of the tour will unfold stories from India’s freedom struggle, tales of bravery, and monuments that have silently witnessed our journey as a nation. We’ll be stopping at legendary forts, memorials, museums, and towns that still echo the sacrifices of our heroes. These places are more than just tourist spots — they are real, powerful reminders of where we came from and what we stand for.
Now, let’s talk about why this trip matters. We often get so caught up in our day-to-day lives that we forget the sacrifices that gave us the freedom to live as we do today. This road trip is our humble attempt to reconnect with that forgotten history. It’s for kids who need to see and feel the stories they read in school. It’s for young adults who want to understand what it really means to be Indian. It’s for parents who want to give their children memories that carry meaning, not just entertainment. And it’s for seniors too — who’ve lived through years of change and will now get a chance to relive the pride and stories they grew up hearing.
Each day will bring something new — a new destination, a new emotion, a new story. From the early morning ceremonies, to group drives on open highways, to evenings spent around bonfires sharing stories of courage and unity — every moment will be full of connection, pride, and celebration. We’ll eat together, travel together, sing, laugh, and maybe even cry a little when we stand before places that remind us of the price of our freedom. This tour is designed not just to show you monuments but to make you feel their meaning.
You don’t have to be a history buff or a hardcore traveller to be part of this. You just need a little love for India and a heart that’s open to learning, feeling, and bonding with fellow travellers. No matter your age, background, or experience — this tour welcomes you. Because the one thing we all share is our identity as Indians, and there’s no better way to honour that than by travelling through the very land that shaped it.
So pack your bags, fuel your vehicle, and bring along your tricolour. Let’s ride not just through roads and highways, but through time. Let’s salute the spirit of India together — one kilometre, one memory, and one proud heartbeat at a time.

Our first halt is a proud one — the Fateh Burj, located at Chappar Chiri in Mohali. It is India’s tallest victory tower, standing a massive 328 feet high, and was built in memory of Baba Banda Singh Bahadur, the fearless Sikh warrior who crushed the Mughal forces in 1711.

A quiet, tree-shaded spot believed to be the very ground where Krishna spoke the Bhagavad Gita. A sacred peepal tree marks the location, and the aura here is meditative.
Each of these sites adds depth to your journey, offering spiritual insight and a moment of pause in the hustle of travel.
Afternoon Drive – Kurukshetra to Delhi (~160 km | Approx.3–4 hrs)
Continue your journey towards India’s capital city, Delhi. This leg of the trip is smoother with wide expressways and urban outskirts slowly merging into the city buzz. Watch as the skyline changes from farmlands and roadside eateries to high-rises, metro lines, and monuments of historical importance.
Depending on traffic, you’ll approach the central area of Delhi by 7:00 to 8:00 PM.
Evening Arrival at Red Fort – Delhi
Your drive concludes at the majestic Red Fort, one of Delhi’s iconic heritage landmarks. While this is not a sightseeing stop at this hour, it serves as a symbolic endpoint — connecting the patriotic spirit of the trip from Amritsar’s Wagah Border to the very city where India’s independence was first announced.
Stand here for a moment and let it all sink in — the stories, the food, the culture, the devotion, the journey.
Tour Ends – Heart Full, Mind Rich
And with that, your 5-day patriotic and culturally immersive journey comes to a close. From the divine energy of the Golden Temple, the emotional echoes of Jallianwala Bagh, the vibrant roads of Punjab, to the sacred soil of Kurukshetra — this trip was not just about visiting places. It was about feeling India, understanding its roots, and creating memories that stay with you long after the drive ends.
