Kodo Adventure · Overlanding the Himalaya

Overlanding the roads less travelled.

Kathmandu · 27°N The far roads 85°E · ∞

A slow expedition into the Himalaya's forgotten corners — by Land Rover, by patience, by the long way round. Built on the belief that the journey is the luxury.

The ethos

Not a holiday. A way of moving.

Overlanding is the opposite of the package tour — no rush, no crowds, no fixed line on a map. The road is the destination, and the slow way is the point.

01

Slow

Days measured by the light, not the clock. We stop where the view asks us to.

02

Self-reliant

Everything we need rides with us. The freedom of carrying your own world.

03

Far

Past where the tarmac ends and the maps go quiet. The roads few ever drive.

The rig

Every expedition needs a worthy machine.

Ours is in the making — a Land Rover chosen for the places tarmac forgets, prepared the slow and proper way. Built to carry two people and everything they need, deep into the Himalaya and back.

When it's ready, every modification, every mile and every repair will be logged here.

Journeys

The stories live here.

First expedition · on the horizon

When the wheels roll, the journals begin.

Long-form accounts, photographs, and the routes that made them. The first is coming. Follow along and you'll be the first to read it.

Also in motion

And one day — a small racing line in the Terai. In time.

Behind the wheel

An engineer drawn to the long way round.

Kodo Adventure is a personal project — born from years of travelling, a love of machines, and a pull back toward Nepal. It starts as a hobby: one rig, a handful of routes, and the patience to do them properly. Where it goes from there, the road will decide.
