The Shaw Must Go On! (The Rickshaw Run)

Rickshaw Run 2009 (Trailer)

Goa to Pokhara, two weeks and 3000km through India and Nepal in a 150cc Auto-Rickshaw!

In September 2009 we signed up for The League of Adventurists' Autumn Rickshaw Run. We put three complete strangers behind the handlebars and joined sixty other teams on a unique, bizarre and totally unforgettable journey from the shores of the Arabian Sea to the foothills of the Himalayas.

Tiger infested jungles, monsoon floods, river crossings, Delhi belly, and more than one empty petrol tank - would they make it? What would they have to do to get there? How would they get along as they bumped cheek-to-cheek for ten hours a day?

From quaint Goa, climbing through Maharashtra, exploring the forts of Madhya Pradesh, threading through the side-streets of Bhopal, crossing the Ganges to the ghats of Varanassi and on to the serenity of Lumbhini - the birthplace of Buddha - and to the Himalayas beyond.

All will be revealed in a one hour film, shot in HD and to be released worldwide in 2010. In the meantime, here's a three minute taster.

How much will you spend at all in this rickshaw run?

@hijackt hey, yes we did it back at the end of 2009. awesome... pretty much as it looked here, although i think it was harder for us having to drag two camera crews around. we had two cars and a crew of ten on top of the three guys in the rickshaw. you should definitely do it - awesome experience.

@bickykid I guess you've completed the Rickshaw Run by now! How was it? I'm considering it for Winter 2012 from Jalsaimer to Kerala.
