The company​

Adventures Overland was founded by entrepreneurs Tushar Agarwal and Sanjay Madan in 2012, who went on to organize various expeditions from India to London, in which travelers bring their own cars and travel in a convoy, as well as trips through Iceland and Russia, before introducing their first continental bus trip.
