HOW? Overland to India: "Road signs to soul signs"
Riding from the city that never sleeps to the city that never stops dreaming, Ram and Vivek embark on an extraordinary journey. This soul-fueled odyssey pauses at a monument that is never forgotten. From the electric lights of Times Square to the eternal glow of the Taj Mahal, their path stretches across continents and cultures. Fueled not just by engines but by stories, chai, and an unshakable love for the open road, they ride on — not only moving machines but stirring minds. This isn’t just a physical expedition; it’s an inner voyage, where motion meets meaning and every mile reveals more of who they are. From road signs to soul signs, their journey weaves together wisdom, wheels, and wonder. Two souls, one road, and countless stories waiting to be lived.
European highways, Caucasian Mountain roads, Central Asian deserts, and South Asian highways, as well as the Caspian Sea corridor that connects to Central Asia's Silk Road, explore ancient cities like Samarkand, Bukhara, and Khiva in Uzbekistan.
