Adventures Overland, an Indian travel company known for unique travel expeditions such as road trips from India to the UK, has unveiled an ambitious ‘Around the World in 80 Days’ package for the New Year. This journey will span six continents, making it the most expansive tour organised by an Indian travel company.
Tushar Agarwal, co-founder of Adventures Overland, said: “Having travelled to over 100 countries, organised road trips spanning the length and breadth of South America, South Africa along with other continents, and having created the monumental ‘Great Indian World Trip’ covering 50 countries, we wanted to push the boundaries of what’s possible in travel.”
Designed for what they say is the true explorer, this world tour offers travellers a chance to tick off the globe’s most iconic and rare experiences. Starting in Europe and concluding in Asia, the itinerary consists of an unforgettable 80-day journey across Africa, South America, North America and the Oceania, combining adventure, culture, and luxury.
Co-founder Sanjay Madan adds: “Around the World in 80 Days is the culmination of our understanding and vision — a journey that showcases the world’s most extraordinary experiences, all in a single, seamless trip.

“This meticulously curated expedition took over 12 months of planning because we wanted to ensure optimal weather, exceptional vehicles, and the highest safety standards. We’ve handpicked experiences that travellers might not be able to access on their own, so that they have something new to look forward to, every day.”
The experiences of this incredible world trip include a journey aboard the luxurious Rovos Rail in Africa, trekking with majestic gorillas in Rwanda, driving iconic supercars through Tuscany's stunning countryside, exploring Brazil's Route of Emotions and cruising the Amazon Rainforest in Ecuador.
Travelers will also get to witness the Northern Lights in Greenland, get a chance to see polar bears in Svalbard, soar over Franz Josef Glacier in New Zealand, visit Kiritimati – the remotest island on Earth, and ride the legendary Shinkansen Bullet train in Japan. The itinerary also features self-drive road trips in New Zealand, Brazil, Italy and Japan where car enthusiasts will also get to drive world-class vehicles like Range Rover, Ferrari, and Land Cruiser. The so-called “once-in-a-lifetime journey” is reserved for just 12 guests covering air, cruise, car, and train travel.
