Pandemic travel for the nervous adventurer demands a bubble. Enter the caravan. As Indian travellers discover these homes on wheels, State Governments are stepping in to sweeten the deal
After covering a large part of the country on a motor bike with her husband, Nagpur-based Neha Soman, decided to buy a caravan. It would be more comfortable, and also novel, she thought. In 2016 she bought a caravan from a manufacturer in Delhi, and decided to also rent it out to other intrepid travellers. She called it Wacation On Wheels.
Neha and her husband are still waiting to take a long-planned trip to Leh in their caravan. “My holidaying has reduced since I bought it,” she laughs, adding that it is booked for most of the year. Fortunately, last week, she did manage to vacation in her friend’s caravan in Rajasthan, as they drove from Jaipur to Ranthambore.
