I was following the progress of making of this legend called Taurus for almost a year. Effort, dedication and enthusiasm of Capt Suresh Sharma and his family is profound. I was curious to see and experience this lovely machine until one day he called to tell that he and Taurus are visiting Leh, I was very excited at the prospect of encountering the much awaited Taurus.

When back from shoot late night, the discussions helped me learn many important tips of travel photography. Would love to be at Holla Mohalla with Green Dot next…

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.
