It's the baddest, meanest, toughest motor vehicle rally in Asia, if not the

world. A true test of man and machine, in the Raid de Himalaya,

participants put their life and limb in jeopardy, turning into extreme

adventure buffs. Spreading like a virus with each passing year, the 'Raid' is

attracting new addicts to the adrenalin rush - from housewives, doctors,

property-dealers, techies to even NGO types! In a journey like no other,

in 6 days participants cover 2000 kilometers of unbelievably beautiful, yet

harsh and difficult dirt, slush, mud and icy terrain, across dizzying heights

of 11 passes including the world's second highest motorable pass. Here,

the rarefied atmosphere makes breathing difficult and temperatures

drop10 degrees Celsius below zero even in autumn! One little mistake

or an error of judgment either by the driver or the navigator could

mean the end - of the rally and possibly life! Little wonder that only 25%

of participants make it to the finishing line of the only Indian motor

sport event that is listed in the off road rallies calendar of Federation

Internationale Motorcyclisme, Geneva.

Getting it

Ashwani and Abel might have had their own dreams, but they would

have stayed in dreamland if it hadn't been for the other two people on

the team -- Vikram and Monga.

Both talented filmmakers who love travel, they were responsible for

bringing Ashwani and Abel together. Bikes, cars, wheels, speed -- a shared

passion makes for a great introduction.

After a few late night chats over chai in Vikram's studio, he suggested

that the duo put their skills together and give their one big dream a

shot. He even offered to start off their rally piggybank with a

contribution from his own wallet.

Then came the hunt for the perfect car that wouldn't break the bank.

They found it in an unusual place: the Wheeled Beast started life as a

sedate Parliament Gypsy! It's undergoing modifications in Ashwani's

Gurgaon workshop to make it ready for serious rallying.

Getting it

But as the preparations got hotter, Vikram and Monga wanted to get into

the fun. They've decided to document the dream -- with a snazzy film

that tells the tale of how a mechanic-turned biking camp and a creative

director with no rally experience are taking on the biggest names in

rallying in the arena of the Himalayas.

The film will have it all -- from the early introductions and brainstorming

sessions, the modifications and trial runs to the hunt for a medical

certificate and the ...It's a riveting storyline: David vs all those Goliaths.

With plenty of humour to spice it up, enough rallying details to satisfy

the most avid car freak, and team bonding and a growing friendship atthe base of it all.
