Why choose Wander Beyond Boundaries?
WBB is a not a tour operator or agency; we are a mentoring, empowering and facilitating platform
Extreme Overland drives are self-drive expeditions that head out to remote lands. Inherently expeditionary in nature it needs attributes such as self-reliance, adaptability, resilience, resolve etc.
Historically this domain has evolved from the few forgotten wanderers who risked it all to travel the globe on terrain they did not know of and mingling with cultures they had no idea about while taking uncertainty and ambiguity in their stride.
Over time, the tribe of such over landers has sharply risen, now making the domain a discipline in itself.
World over, these drives / journeys / expeditions distinguish themselves from mere road trips or overland drives (mostly major highways and a few pot holed roads etc), by the sheer fact that they are rooted through the unknown, they aspire for what may seem outlandish and unachievable and most definitely involve terrain that is remote, extreme bereft of creature comforts, luxury and the likes. Given the sheer nature of such journeys, they are premised on the fact that vulnerability, and being out of comfort seeds the beginnings of self-growth wherein learning, unlearning and relearning are part of a never-ending loop.
The greatest value becomes the expedition within an individual who undertakes such drives.
WBB are pioneers in seeding extreme overlanding into the Indian context. WBB offers carefully curated, 4×4, self-drive expeditions to explore remote lands worldwide.
Our journeys are not just physical (terrain, difficulty, driving, culture, food, etc.) but
require an individual to undertake an equally intense journey within.
