Taurus- A wonderland on wheels. I have been part of the Taurus ever since it was just an idea and a design on paper. Being an automotive engineer, I always felt fascinated by Capt Sharma's thought of creating a such a wonderful overlander.

And yes, I got an opportunity very soon to be aboard the Taurus. The place was the banks of river…

“It was nice to be on TAURUS on its Inaugural trip to Pushkar, Jaisalmer, and the rugged desert of Rajasthan to places such as Tanot, Longewala, Ghotaru…..places of intense rustic beauty.

Transportation – own vehicle or public transportation, booking of accommodation, food, security while travelling, etc. etc. and then questions like, ‘what if I can’t reach the hotel on due date’; ‘what if I need to change my itinerary’; ‘how many…

"We were on board Taurus on our maiden trip to Laddakh this August. Though it was our first experience of an overland truck as well as the terrain in this regions, looking back I can vouch that we made the right choice in joining the tour with Green Dot Expeditions and Capt Suresh Sharma. Let me start by talking about how meticulously Taurus is planned.
