I recently had the privilege of participating in a 14-day (May-June 2025) road trip organized by Curbover, under the leadership of Manik Ahuja, and I can confidently say it was one of the most memorable journeys of my life. It was christened as Zanskar 2.0.
The expedition took us through some of the most breathtaking and challenging landscapes of Jispa, Shinkula Top, Changla, Gombok Ranjan, Padum, Leh, Hanle, Pangong Tso, Tso Moriri, and of-course Umling La, the highest motorable road in the world. Each destination offered a new dimension of adventure and beauty, making the journey truly extraordinary.
The trip was exceptionally well-conceived, meticulously crafted, and flawlessly executed. The itinerary was thoughtfully designed to balance exploration, comfort, and adventure. Whether it was accommodation, medical support, meal arrangements, or managing last-minute challenges, everything was handled with absolute precision and professionalism, undoubtedly a perfect 10/10.
Among the many highlights, the picnic at Penzilla Pass and Photoshoot at Drang-Drung Glacier stands out as a magical experience, blending natural beauty with camaraderie.
Reaching Umling La was another unforgettable milestone to reach World’s Highest Motorable Road. This experience cannot be explained in words; you need to live it in person and in real time. All this was possible only by the seamless coordination and leadership of the Curbover team.
I would like to extend special gratitude to Manik Ahuja, not just for his exceptional planning and execution, but also for his personal touch and thoughtfulness. He went above and beyond by making suitable arrangements for our dog, Cherry, something we deeply appreciate. This reflects the care and inclusiveness with which Curbover operates.
The media and logistics teams also deserve an applause for their remarkable work in capturing our journey and ensuring smooth operations throughout.
A big word of appreciation goes to Rohit, Akshay, and others who managed the convoys of 36 Jimnys and nearly 90 participants with calmness, efficiency, and expertise. Coordinating such a large group across challenging terrains is no small task, yet it was carried out brilliantly.
This trip is something I could never have envisioned or executed on my own. It became possible only because of the dedication, passion, and professionalism of the Curbover team. They created not just a road trip, but an experience of a lifetime.
I wholeheartedly thank Manik and the entire Curbover family for giving us memories we will cherish forever. I look forward to many more adventures with Curbover in the future.
Jimny Regards,
Two incredible years with CurbOver! Our first trip to Spiti Valley was a game-changer – thrilling off-road adventures, breathtaking landscapes, and a team that went above and beyond to ensure our safety and joy. Special shoutout to Mr. Manik and the entire team for their exceptional support, especially during a flat tire incident in the snow!
We’ve since embarked on more unforgettable journeys, from Bengaluru to Coonoor and the epic Zanskar trip. What makes CurbOver truly special is the sense of family and camaraderie that comes with every trip. We feel safe, supported, and motivated every step of the way.
And our trusty steed, Jimny, has been an integral part of these adventures. If you’re looking for a travel partner that combines thrill, safety, and community, look no further than CurbOver!
I am thrilled to share my extraordinary experience on the World Record CurbOver All Jimny Road Expedition to Umling La. The journey was a captivating blend of breathtaking landscapes, cultural immersion, and camaraderie, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
From the moment we set off, the professionalism and attention to detail exhibited by CurbOver were evident. Every aspect of the expedition was meticulously planned, ensuring a safe, seamless, and enjoyable experience for all participants.
The diverse itinerary showcased the region’s natural beauty and cultural richness. Each day brought new landscapes, new challenges, and picturesque Himalayas. The team has a doctor, medicines, oxygen, dedicated camera crew, and travel organisers. The organisers have decades of experience in this terrain and managed the whole expedition safe and memorable.
Moreover, the opportunity to bond with fellow travellers in an intimate setting fostered a sense of community and friendship. The shared experiences, both on and off the road, created lasting connections and cherished memories.
I wholeheartedly recommend this road expedition to anyone seeking an unforgettable adventure. The combination of stunning scenery, cultural immersion, and a well-organised itinerary ensures an experience that is both enriching and enjoyable.
Thank you for the opportunity to participate in this incredible journey. I am grateful for the memories and the new addiction that came from this experience.
