Aarti Dayal & Harsh Vardhan

Total Vote(s) : 760 | Total Testimonial(s) : 53

I am a consultant at a non-profit organization working for the livelihoods of the poor, which roughly translated into actuality means I love life more than money! My partner, on the other hand, is an entrepreneur, albeit a strange one. He did his engineering in Computer Science, which he barely managed to clear, works in a firm which deals with hard-core mechanical engineering, which I'm sure he barely understands, and to top it all, also manages the finances of his company! Overall, we complement each other pretty well - one works for a non-profit company and the other compensates by making only profit! When we met each other for the first time at a college fest, both of us were seeing someone else. But the chemistry between us was just too hot to keep us apart for long.... and today, after 5 years of being together (1.5 of them being married!), the chemistry hasn't faded one bit. The most amazing thing about us is that we both have the same passions - to the point of it being eerie! Whether it be traveling or Delhi or cricket or exotic food or animals or SUVs, we love the same things in life! And number one on that list is road trips!

We are the best candidates because...

Earlier, we did not think that we were the best candidates. We were lousy bloggers, with neither one of us having a blog page of our own. We have a simple Casio Exilim for a camera to take simple pictures of what we find beautiful. And for a couple who are absolutely in love with the Himalayas, a 3000km drive beginning and culminating at Mumbai did not sound too appealing, until we actually started making a plan. But cometh the hour, cometh the man or rather in this case wo-man and man, the sheer opportunity of covering almost the complete western coast , riding along NH-17 all the way to Kovalam from Mumbai in a Mistubish Cedia, in an all expenses covered trip, with an alibi to get a 12 day leave from office, in the middle of the monsoon season, I dont think there's much left to ask for! Our motto is "Is drive ke liye kuch bhi karega!" (Will do anything for this drive). So if it requires us to blog, we blog. If it comes down to learning how to use an SLR (not the rifle), we'll be trigger happy to do it. And if it requires us to drive without our favorite Himalayan peaks in front of us, we sure will, and do it with pleasure! As you might see from the application, our passion for road trips has led us to some changes in us, including blogging about our travel experiences. Harsh was a strong believer that one should never spam, and now we see him spamming everyday on orkut, facebook and on forums & groups we have no point being in! The last few weeks have only been about GDC in our lives which is quite close to the other 100 odd weeks before them, in which we have kept hatching plots to cover other routes. We have hatched plans already for summer 2010 : "The Big trip" & summer 2011: "The Kinnaur - Spiti - Manali" circuit. To quote the great Paulo Coehlo : "When you really yearn to achieve something, not just “You”, but the entire “Universe” conspires in helping you achieve it.". With these thoughts, we would let the jury decide if we are indeed the best candidates.

Our Travel Plan

The more we think about our proposed plan, the more it convinces us to work hard to win this challenge. Being from Delhi, we have always been constrained to begin and end our road trips here. To top that we also have time constraints to deal with while planning road trips. Even if, by some anomaly, we do not win this challenge, the route seems to be a must do for us and will be done preferably in the monsoon season. The plan is to cover the 6 beautiful driving routes including Mumbai - Goa, Goa - Mangalore , Kochi - Kovalam , Kovalam - Munnar , Munnar - Mysore & Pune - Mumbai expressway in one road trip. As you can see, this could be a trip of a lifetime. The exact route with Night halts would be: Mumbai - Ratnagiri - Palolem Beach, Goa - Mangalore - Chettuva Lake - Kovalam - Munnar - Mysore - Devangere - Kolhapur - Mumbai. A detailed route map can be seen at the link below. This however, should be seen with a pinch of salt, as a road trip can never be "completely" thought out and planned. One has to factor in time for the unknown that might happen, or a new scenic detour that is known only by locals and to be discovered later.

Our Travelogue

Our travel experiences go beyond the time we've been together. Even as kids, both of us have traveled extensively throughout India, that too mostly on road-trips! Harsh has been on a road trip with his parents and sister from his childhood home in Patna to Gangtok via Darjeeling. It was on this trip when he drove in the hills for the first time, and he was just 17! Another one of his memorable trips was when he went on a road trip with his family to Pokhra in Nepal. The one trip that he brags most about though is when he drove from Delhi to Patna in flat 22 hours! On the other hand, I, having lived in Delhi all my life, have covered most of HImachal and Uttaranchal on road-trips and Rajasthan too to a large extent. I clearly remember the narrow road to Badrinath, the beautiful pine-lined road to Gangotri, the long drive to Manali, the frequent trips to Shimla and Mussoorie, and the drive from Jodhpur to Jaisalmer, one of the most desolate drives I've ever been on! My most memorable trip with my family was however our 2005 trip to Ladakh, where keeping Leh as our base, we covered places like Khardung La, Lamayuru, Alchi, Nubra Valley, Chang La, Pangong Tso, Hundar and Panamik. In terms of our travels abroad, while Harsh did a 3 month long internship in South Africa and has recently traveled to some European countries like Spain and Germany on business, my international travel has been limited to just SIngapore, Thailand and Mauritius. I guess by now it’s clear that travel is in our genes! Thus, it was only natural that when we got together, this passion of ours only grew. Our first trip together was a one day excursion to Agra with friends, followed by trips to Mussorie, Dhanaulti and Kausani. However, since we traveled with friends on all of these, none of them were road trips. It was only when we got married 1.5 years back that the road trip mania hit us and in that short span, we've already been on 7 road trips! Each one of these are close to our hearts and their fond memories stay on as our desktop wallpapers to keep reminding us that our office cubicle is just a stepping stone to places where we really want to be. The first one of these trips was our honeymoon where we went on a 12 day discover Kumaon road trip, covering deep and rarely visited places like Munsiyari. This first trip squashed away all our uncertainties about driving in the hills and the likes and we were all geared up for our next road trip. This came a mere three months later when we went on a brazen 5 day trip to Kinnaur, drove on the historic Hindustan-Tibet road, and covered enthralling places like Kalpa, Sangla, Chitkul and Sarahan. Since these two were high altitude trips with lots of exciting driving involved, we were a little disappointed with our third road-trip in August last year to Chakrata, a tiny hill-station near Dehradun. It was a discovery nevertheless, and a good weekend break option from Delhi. This brings us to our fourth trip, again a long one, to enchanting Manali and beyond… from the high Rohtang pass to Lahaul to Baralacha La, we just stopped short of reaching Leh! We also discovered the true essence of Manali on this trip – lovely views, great food, and charming tourists! Having been on four trips in a row to the mountains, we decided that the fifth one should be different – and off we went in January this year on a weekend trip to Mandawa in the Shekhawati region of Rajasthan. Beautifully painted Havelis are Mandawa’s forte and we quite enjoyed the change! However, it is the Himalayas who are our true love, and our sixth trip took us back to them. Having alternated between Uttaranchal and Himachal in our first four trips, it was now Uttaranchal’s turn, and so we went on our first trek to Deoriya Tal and Tungnath in NE Garhwal. This was not a road trip, and there are no words to explain how much we missed our car! Our seventh trip was again a road trip, a weekend break to Rishikesh with friends… the purpose obviously being white water rafting! Having done rafting thrice already, this is one activity both of us really love… especially the body surfing part, where one can just float in the Ganges, look up at the sky, the beautiful hills around and relax! Our eighth and most recent trip was our drive to Gangotri, from where we trekked for 50kms to Gaumukh, the source of the Ganges, and to Tapovan, the base of the Shivling massif. A better way to go through our experiences in detail would be to read our blog.

Hi...I saw your profile and liked it very much. You can join the Cedia great driving challenge community in orkut to gain more votes and testimonials. http://www.orkut.co.in/Main#Community.aspx?cmm=91293176

Ankit

This couple has great interest in scaling new heights. They make me jealous. i hope they will continue to scale new heights

Anand

Awesome Photographer... best driver :)

Manoj

Harsh operates with a talismanic mantra which all greats have been preaching since ages i.e. Think Simple. Armed with this weapon he smoothly detonates every challenge he takes on. So don't count me surprised if he comes out of this too as a winner. Amen !!

Sumit Sharma

Aarti and Harsh, wow. I have literally learned driving from them. I remember sneaking out of my house and going for long drives with them from Delhi to you don't know where. Sometimes even to treacherous Himalayas, and boy.. what an awesome drivers they are!! They would never stop, weather if would rain, snow or even landslide! Harsh, or Bamboo as he is better known, also had a bike in his undergrad days, on which he used to do many tricks. Hope they win this contest. All the bet to them.

Sushant Pandurangi

Harsh Vardhan is one of the most composed individuals I've known - a fine balance between a firm's Director and a carefree, enthusiastic sportsman. I really wish this couple great luck in the challenge and I'm sure with their passion for adventure and their warm, friendly and communicative nature, they are going to go a long way. Good luck!

Chitwan Goel

What I learnt at driving school - Stop, Look, Go How Bombs does it - Go, Stop, Look Jokes apart - both Aarti and Bombs are drive really cool, and are even better photographers best of luck rahega..

Rohilla

Lets see it in equation form: Hypothesis: Dont apply too much of a mind!! But yes to an extent for your testimonial on this further. Ok..so.. Winner (as they say) shall - "go best & take best".. Photographs => Places/Objects captured in a camera(though not a SLR types) Places => Driving through roads not so like Gurgaon-Delhi expressway in a car (again not so good as Mitsubishi!!..its MS-Esteem which is obsolete.) => Look at the photographs - means above two equations being right.. => Harsh = Winner, Hence Proved!

Abhinav Mital

Aarti & Harsh are a great couple who love adventure and excitment. I rememebr all the late nights when I would sneak out to join these guys (and Sumit) to go driving around delhi or to nearby locations (like the border :-P) good luck guys!!

Gaurav

I considered myself an avid traveler but then I met the couple. Their appetitive for adventure mixed with absolute love for the Himalayas and never say die spirit makes them the right hakdar to win this challenge

Kapil Bardeja

Harsh and i were hostel mates at the college. Harsh is a very nice and honest chap and most importantly weird. Wish u and aarti all the best -:)

hari

checkout his orkut album to know hw good a travelller and nature lover he is..a great person and all the best to u both..

Yeshu

Ladies n Gentlemen.. here's the man who drives with great finesse on tar- stones-gravel-sand-water- ice-snow-mud and the lady who is always cheerful no matter what the roads may be ..

Rahul

Amazing Pics! Best of luck to you two!

Priyesh

These guys an absolute cracker of a company ... all the best with this "venture" too :-)

Prashant Ojha

They (both Aarti and Harsh) have this flu.I don't know if this particular strain has an official name, but if it does, it must be something like "Himalayan Adventure Flu".You may have had it yourself and you thought it was real, but it never is real unless you actually take the pain of planning and executing it like they do twice every year and travel all those miles and bring back these pictures which never cease to make us feel sick .... with the flu!!! :-) Goodluck guys!

Nitin Jain (NJ)

Gr888 Pixx Dude, Rock On !!!! Best of Luck....

Divya

Now this is the couple one must certainly vote for these guys are simply amazing I mean they are such discoverers, a complete travel guide and that too exploring such niche places about which one has barely heard of. Kudos! to them :)

Aarti and Harsh are the right candidates for this quite simply because they are the best. I have been with Harsh on innumerous bike rides and his skill has never failed to amaze me :) Vote for them guys!!!

Vaibhav Kalia

I have been on a few road trips with the man in question and I must admit that HV has mastered the one skill that is crucial for any such journey - the skill to improvise. I wish them the very best for the road ahead.

Aarti is my lil' cousin, i myself used to be a Rallyist and the high point being havin' done the Great Desert Himalayan Raid way back in 1989....so when she said she's into something like this i was like 'wow'. I'm doin' my 2 bits to get them where they want to get to.....am proud of Aarti in many ways for she has somehow managed to get what she wanted without making much noise about it....so for Aarti and Harsh....all the very best....Go for it...any help required gimme a shout!!!!!!

Vishal Agrawal

I see Harsh as one person who is full of life. In our college days, it was him who always used to stand out as the person who was loaded with detailed information about options to select venues, be it for an evening hang out or a weekend trip or a week long holiday break. I am happy to see that with time his passion has only increased.. All the best buddy...rock the show..

Amit Battan

Aarti keep it up.. I am with you...

Abhinay Verma

Both Aarti and Harsh like doing things in style and seeing their energy and excitement levela, I am sure they are very passionate about this challenge. They may call themselves lousy bloggers but I am sure they will make up for any shortcoming through their photography and driving skills. Good Luck !!!

A perfectionist to the core and a large heart he is successful in all that he puts heart to.His wife Aarti complements him in every way and they make a beautiful couple. May the best man win--may Harsh win.

Jayant Kumar

Their passion for dri ving wiped out all our objections (parents on both sides)to their travelling by road on their honeymoon.I wish them luck.

Jayant Chauhan

Harsh Vardhan, aka Bambooo :D as we used to call him during college days, is a fultooo energetic guy when it comes to stuff he is passionate about...He was one of the most vocal Comp. Sc. guys at IITD, and even though we weren't in the same hostel, we had quite a few classes together...Harsh has a heart of gold (and trust me, its that soft as well), and even though we have been out of touch, am sure he will cruise along every-so-smoothly along any road that he decides to take...Aah I forgot, one of the few entrepreneurs of our batch :), keep making us proud Harsh...

Abhishek

I have known both Harsh and Aarti since childhood (mine), they are a great couple. These are 2 really good people who are great together. she is beautiful intelligent and fun and is a naturally happy person - which is a great quality - and he is a smart clever very focused & determined guy. I think they'd be a perfect couple for long driving trip where he can take care of the 'drive' and she can take care of the 'road'!

Rahul Kapoor

I know lot%u2019s of couples who love meeting people and going to new places. But leave it to Harsh & Aarti to make that the best time of your life. They love having fun and enjoy each moment of such trips, specially when they believe in the motto %u201Cwork hard, play hard%u201D I wish you best of luck.

Anamika

Great pics!!!!!!!!! Best of Luck to both of you.

Shailabh

Have known these guys for quite a decade now and I can safely say that they are avid travelers who always have the best road sense.They make an unusual couple ... the beauty and the beast but I guess that's the magic which keeps them going. Each one complements the other and brings out the best. Hope they deserve all the good things that they fight for. Cheeers

Rohit
