We planned to cover as much distance as possible but two leaves of the rear left leaf spring broke.<\/h2>\n

BHPian PointZero<\/strong> recently shared this with other enthusiasts.<\/p>\n

Well, after the THAR came home, we had only a few trips to North Bengal and Sikkim. So to have a THAR-like trip, my brother and I planned for a winter trip to Manang ( Nepal ) and we were very excited to experience the performance of the beast.<\/p>\n

Oh, are you already confused with the title of the blog and our plan? I was even more dazed till the day of starting the journey. Everything was set for the Manang trip and on a Saturday morning I got a call from my brother that he had an accident with the THAR. As he was new to driving, he started in the early morning to go to our native place from Kolkata, and on Belghoria Expressway he had an accident with an MG Hector.<\/p>\n

THAR was in operating condition but the front bumper and wheel arch were broken. So we claimed insurance on the same day and expected the car to be ready in 7 days and we can go with the plan as we still have 12 days in hand to jump. However, after much effort and escalations, Mahindra could not set up parts in 12 days and I had no other choice than to take the Lazy Turtle for another long-distance trip.<\/p>\n

My brother was a little upset as he wanted to be onboarded and experience driving on mountain roads as much as possible. As the Lazy Turtle is a very crude vehicle without ABS, EBD, Airbag, etc., I do not suggest he drive the Lazy Turtle on a trip. So he knew that he had very little chance of driving on the trip.<\/p>\n

Glimpse:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Relying on Lazy Turtle is living unrestricted<\/p>\n

We both desire mountains will be our home someday<\/p>\n
