About : MN

Full Name Mahesh Natarajan

Hi, I am a father of 2 wonderful kids, a smart & handsome boy of 8 Years and a beautiful & naughty girl of 4 years. My wife is a great support & inspiration to me. All 4 of us enjoy travelling and we have sucessfully completed 3 long trips in the last 3 years starting from 2008-2009, 2009-2010 & 2010-2011 in our car. The 1st trip was called A Fiat Love Story - we travelled from Coimbatore to Gokak Falls in North Karnataka near Belgaum in our FIAT Palio 1.6 GTX a journey that was of 3334 kms up & down & completed in 15 days. The 2nd Trip was called Mission Impossible - we travelled from Coimbatore to a Camel Safari camp in SAM Village 50 kms away from Jaisalmer, Rajasthan very close to Pakistan Border in our FIAT Palio 1.6 GTX a journey that was of 6800 kms up & down & completed in 18 days. The 3rd Trip was called Life Mein Linea - we travelled from Coimbatore to The Land of Thunder Dragon BHUTAN in our brand new FIAT Linea 1.3 MJD a journey that was of 7400 kms up & down & completed in 16 days. In fact it is the support from my family & the love for travelling & visiting new places is what had made our life interesting in the last 3 years. It is very challenging, very demands very high level of energy from all 4 of us and demands a lot of patience, preperation & perseverence to undertake such long & dangerous journeys. The challenge is more on me as I am the only driver in this small team of 4. I only thank my wonderful family for all their support as they have enjoyed the trips sitting in the car with so much patience & enjoying every moment. We hope & pray we will continue travelling which requirs a lot of dedicated time & moneraty resources which does not always come together. Happy to be part of Ghumakkar family & Happy Motoring!!!

The Land of the Thunder Dragon (BHUTAN) – Day 15 and 16

The FIAT Linea 1.3 MJD proved what a fantastic car it was by giving us once in a life time experience of long distance drive from Coimbatore to Bhutan & back and brought us back safe. The car was extremely good and proved that it really was a long-distance runner. Brand new car, no breakdown, no puncture, no fatigue only pure pleasure of driving it long distance and excellent build.Its suspension was so good that there was no body pain to any one of us through out the journey and my 2 small kids went to school the next day morning & I was back in Office to work. That speaks it all.

The Land of the Thunder Dragon (BHUTAN) – Bhutan to Bhuwaneshwar

Our personal experience with local Bhutanses people in our 4 days of stay was very nice & wonderful. They are peace loving people & their country is so neat & clean & unpolluted. Tourism is one of their main source of income. They also have the famous DRUK Brand jams & Tomato Sauce, Pickels etc. We purchased them all.
