After a mahusive party on an island to welcome in the New Year our brave teams have set forth with their pimped rickshaws into the tropical heat to battle their way to Nepal. Photos of the launch and the rickshaws will be online very soon!
The teams set off from Fort Kochi in the south of India, aiming roughly for Kathmandu in Nepal, a very long way away. In between them and the finish party lies a variety of terrain destined to cause all sorts of pickles... Check out the text messages from the teams posted to the 'on the road' page and hear from the teams what has recently fallen off their mighty auto-rickshaw.
