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 I was the witness to this idea transforming from a thought to a wonderful reality. And since I had been always so fascinated by this, how could I be left behind being aboard this wonderful beast? 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.
