Morning drive to a nearby lake in our SUVs: An enjoyable experience

The group included 3 Mahindra Thar petrol 4×4 models and an XUV700 AWD. The other two cars were the Toyota Fortuner and Hilux.

Morning on a Lake

Some of us, part of the group that recently did a crazy monsoon fury drive in BMWsdecided to take out our “other cars”, our SUVs, for a casual morning drive to a nearby lake. It was a bit of a funny experience to meet my usual BMW group buddies with their SUVs, and driving these slow body-on-frame SUVs with the same guys whom I have always seen driving their BMWs. Jokes apart, we enjoy all kinds of vehicles and all kinds of drives, and driving these SUVs on that scenic terrain was a totally enjoyable experience too.

The group included @robimahanta (Thar Petrol 4×4), @PrideRed (Fortuner 4×4), @HighRevving (Thar Petrol 4×4), @jfk1975 (Toyota Hilux), and @MonkOnWheels (XUV700 AWD), and myself (Thar Petrol 4×4).

The whole drive was planned by @robimahanta. Thanks to him for such a nice plan!

Since it was just a short drive, there is nothing much to write about it. I was primarily interested in photographing the beautiful SUVs on that lake, and thankfully, I got plenty of opportunities to take photos. It was a bit too dark and gloomy there that morning, and the light was less than ideal for car photography. However, I managed to get a few shots anyway, though they are a bit dark, as expected.

Please allow me to share the photos I took of the SUVS on that lake.

The Red Hilux looked stunning wherever it moved:

The Fortuner looked majestic as well, and looked totally at home on such terrain:

Meanwhile, a photo of the two amazing Toyota 4x4s, which looked so at home there that it looked like they owned the lake:

And finally, as we exited that area through a lovely mud trail, going through thick tress, I could not resist clicking this shot from my windshield, of the convoy in front of me:
