Wicked Road Trips

It was 2013, when we went on our first road trip.

It wasn’t a long one, but from Bangalore to Mysore on a 2-wheeler (a black Karizma ZMR 2012, make). And then again the same year from Bangalore to Kodagu on the same bike. We were just 22 back in 2013, started dating a couple months prior to our first road trip.

That first trip from Bng-Mys, made us fall in love with road trips. It wasn’t a luxurious nor a tranquil one, but it made us discover the fun, thrill and experiences that a road trip had to offer.

About Us Inside Pic

9 years later, after traveling 100,000+ kms...

(45K on ZMR, 50K in VW Polo, 10K & counting in Jeep Compass) by road on more than 65+ road trips so far, we still feel the same excitement and adrenaline rush we had, when we took our first trip. 


For us, road trips aren’t just about going from one place to another,  snacks loaded in the car or playlists that run for hours or fun times with friends who tag along. They are about making memories and connecting with places and locals. They are about finding peace in driving, either along the country roads or highways, for hundreds of miles. 

Travel Is Our Passion, But A Road Trip Is Our Soul.

The one thing that we cannot survive without is going on a road trip at least once every month. We both are full time marketers for different brands, but we still make time and find the resources that we need to make it happen. Or else we might get crazy. I mean literally crazy! Not just us, but even our car. She doesn’t like when not driven on the country roads at least once a month.

It has always been the 3 of us. Me, my wife and our car, currently Jeep Compass [‘Black Bear’ as my wife calls it…]

We are based out of Bangalore and our speciality is to explore places that are hidden/unknown, untouched by tourists. We travel to destinations that are known to most, but explore local places as a traveler, not as a tourist. Off beat, unexplored & locating hidden gems is where we shine!

We are not full time travelers yet. We both have our full time jobs and explore the world at the same time. And before you ask, Yes, it is Possible!

Wicked Road Trips (WRT) is for those who are looking for inspiration, details, itineraries, road maps, places to stay or eat and explore locations that are waiting to be explored, unknown to most tourists but only few travelers and locals.

 

Our aim is to share our experiences and every piece of information related to road trips & locations that we have personally been on, instead of he said/she said. We recommend the best routes, places for any kind of travelers, be it solo, couple or family, who are passionate about road trips, who are looking to experience life as a traveler, connect with nature and explore the world. 

Best part, we like keeping it real so we will not use filters/photoshop in our pictures/videos or jazz up!
