While reeling from a pandemic has instilled a certain amount of concern in all of us when it comes to travelling, the tourism industry is shapeshifting to develop newer mediums and modes to bring our wanderlust goals to fruition. Aeroplanes, trains, and buses seem to be a riskier means of commute as we find ourselves fretting over the risk of catching the big C.

So the question arises, Is there a better, safer way of travelling that doesn’t starve us of the fun and joys of discovering new places? Introducing the emerging caravan travel experience, a concept common in the west that slowly seems to be catching up in the homegrown travel industry as well.

Fancy waking up to a scenic sunset, lush forests or a quaint lake as your view? Well, we’re here to let you on to a newfound way of travel that makes it all possible.

In simpler terms, a camper van is a mini house-on-wheels that enables you to road trip to any destination of your liking, without compromising on the fun and comfort factor. The affordability and the safety factor of the travel-on-wheels experience is an added addition to the excitement of it all.
