May 4, 2015, Mumbai: Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. (M&M Ltd.), India’s leading SUV manufacturer, unveiled the
Mahindra Adventure Calendar for Season 5. A unique concept to showcase the tough and rugged DNA of Mahindra
vehicles, Mahindra Adventure functions as an umbrella brand with a series of adventure and motor sports events under

Mahindra Adventure continues to unleash its spirit of adventure through a series of events spread across the year;
• Great Escape – the celebrated off-roading event (since 1996), continues to be the off-roaders’ choice, to test the
endurance of Mahindra’s 4x4 vehicles on diverse terrains. We have added 2 new locations, Chennai & Nagpur,
and continue with the previous 8 locations across India, where winners from these locations get to compete at
the Mahindra Adventure Off-Roading Trophy.
• New Multi-Day Escape, such as Super South Drive – an epic drive through southern India, has been added.
Other drives like Authentic North East (10 days) & Spiti Escape (7 days), which were added last year will
continue along with the classics like Monastery Escape (Leg 1; Delhi- Manali-Jispa-Sarchu-Leh–Srinagar & Leg 2;
Srinagar-Leh-Sarchu-Jispa-Manali-Delhi, for 10 days each), Royal Escape (6 day expedition celebrating the new
year in Rajasthan), Tri- Nation Escape (Bhutan, India & Nepal - 14 days), Authentic Goa (The real Goa in 4 days)
& Wild Escape (4 day foray into wildlife sanctuaries of Central India). These multi-day escapes celebrate
incredible India and the sub-continent by traversing exotic and unexplored locations, thereby bringing the
concept of ‘Adventure/Driving experience’ to a larger audience.
• Mahindra Challenges like Spice Challenge (4 days) & Monsoon Challenge (3 days), which are TSD (Time Speed
Distance) rallies are also planned, in tune with the company’s promise of providing adrenalin pumping
challenges and promoting motorsport at the grass-roots level.
After a string of wins at various rallies, the Super XUV500 proved its mettle yet again and created history by winning the
overall title at the Indian Rally Championship 2014. Time and again our vehicles have proved their mettle and we are
ready to continue the winning streak in the upcoming motorsport season this year.
