Ten years ago, a bold idea took shape: what if you could drive from India to London, crossing continents, cultures, mountain ranges, deserts, and borders entirely by road? What began as an ambitious expedition has since become one of the world's most celebrated self‑drive journeys.
In 2027, Adventures Overland proudly presents the 10th Anniversary Edition of Road to London.
More than just a road trip, Road to London is a transcontinental expedition that has inspired adventurers for a decade. Covering approximately 16,000 kilometres across 20 countries, this extraordinary 69‑day journey begins in Gorakhpur, India, and culminates in London, United Kingdom, traversing Nepal, China, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Russia, Georgia, Türkiye, Bulgaria, Serbia, Croatia, Hungary, Slovakia, Czechia, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, and France along the way.
From the spiritual heart of Nepal and the towering landscapes of Tibet to the ancient Silk Road, the Pamir Mountains, the Caucasus, Cappadocia, the Danube, and the final crossing of the English Channel, every stage of the journey offers a new perspective, a new culture, and a new story.
Over the last decade, Road to London has become more than an expedition. It is a community, a challenge, and a dream shared by travellers from around the world. As we celebrate ten years of this legendary journey, we invite you to become part of its next chapter.
