We drove, we drove and we drove. Four hours later we were in a town in the middle of nowhere picking up some mats to sleep on and some other supplies (i.e. beers and chips). We were already ridiculously far from Delhi, yet we decided to drive on for another four hours. Why? Because we were on a two-day expedition spearheaded by Captain Hanif (also know as just "The Captain"). The objective was simple; to find the most remote rural village, befriend the locals and have a sleepover. However, finding the village was anything but simple.
During the drive we saw the terrain transform from an urban landscape to a desert, then to mountains, then to a mountainous desert. What was interesting was that the animals we saw on the side of the road also transformed with the terrain. First it was cows, then camels, then peacocks perched on trees, then crazy white monkeys and weird antelope-esque deer. It was all fun and games until we had to drive through a tiger reserve to get to the village. No tigers, though. At least not yet.
