Our road trip from Kolkata to Santiniketan took a hilarious detour when our mighty truck "Shehzadi" was stopped by true rulers of the road: a stubborn herd of goats! 😂 We had to get out and shoo them along, turning a simple drive into a joyful, bleating obstacle course. This is the real, unscripted magic of Bengal!

Our left-hand drive Toyota Tundra named "Shehzadi" met her match on a "nostalgic" run through old Kolkata. Skipped flyovers for College St & CIT Rd. Left-hand steer on keep-left roads puzzle. Add tram tracks, street dogs & swarms of motorcycles - pure Kolkata chaos. Somehow we & our nerves survived. Sometimes you take a chaotic route just for a story.

After 41,000 km across 4 continents, we finally rolled into Kolkata, India — the last 20 km of our Silk Road overlanding journey with Shehzadi, our Toyota Tundra 🚙. Dusty, tired, but grinning ear to ear, Shehzadi proved the world really is connected by one long road. 🌍 youtu.be/vMeIDFcjpwA

Tajikistan's Fann Mountains Paradise 🌄 Iskanderkul Lake's unreal turquoise waters framed by Chimtarga (5,489m) & Mirali (5,132m), Zeravshan River, Iskander Darya's glacial melt sparkling like diamonds - & we survived Anzob Tunnel (twice!) + insane off-road trails to reach this Silk Road gem. Watch Shehzadi our trusty Toyota Tundra conquer mud pits & mountain passes for this view!

We just survived Tajikistan’s infamous Anzob Tunnel!

We’re cruising through the stunning Fann Mountains in Shehzadi, our trusty Tundra, all sunshine and rainbows. Then BAM – we hit the Anzob Tunnel. Five kilometers of pure chaos.

Somehow we made it out alive (barely). Now we’ve got the whole ridiculous adventure on video – complete with stunning mountain views & a tunnel that nearly stole our sanity.

🚨 What happens when you drive a giant American pickup into a centuries-old Turkish bazaar?

Well - we did it. 😅
We took Shehzadi — our 2024 Toyota Tundra — into narrow streets of old town Bursa to visit Koza Han.

From alpine tunnels to Venetian silk, we’ve rolled through history in style! 🚙💫 Shehzadi rode a train through the Alps, met Murano’s fire-wielding glassmakers, and even got her first international oil change! Venice dazzled, Marco Polo’s “house” mildly amused—and Lake Como stole our hearts.
