The Central Asia Rally is the most challenging and difficult one of the Travel Scientists' motor rallies - true adventure. And like all great adventurers from Indiana Jones to Thor Heyerdal will tell you: The key for a successful adventure is torough preparation! To give you a hand we have compiled a list of the most important items for the Central Asia Rally, that you definitely shouldn't forget in your garage. For Your Car Spare tire - Because you don't want to lose a day waiting next to the road with a flat tire, waiting for a miracle Car jack - Except one of your team mates is Dwayne The Rock Johnson. Spare break pads - The Pamir Mountains will eat through your pads faster than you think. Any other spareparts you think might be needed but will not be available - Central Asians are creative problem solvers, but let's make their lives as easy as possible! Set of basic tools - Because sometimes, if you want to be helped, you have to help yourself. 2 jerrycans - Keep them filled up. Always. You never know if the next petrol station in 200 km will actually have any petrol. GPS - Getting lost is fun... but arriving at the day's destination is too. Car charger for the cigarette lighter - Keep your phones charged, always have your cameras ready for the next amazing shot Car papers - Without, you won't even get into Russia Tow rope - Let's hope you won't need it. For Yourself Clothes Winter jacket- You might just need it for a day or two, but on those days you'll be VERY grateful for it. Gloves - See above. Clothes for hot weather - But consider that we are traveling through conservative countries, so we

The new year has started and one thing you know for sure: This year you need more adventure and excitement in your life! You've come to the right place at the Travel Scientists, because that's exactly what we do: adventure. But we get that sometimes it can be a little tough to choose the one trip, which is the right for you, hence we've provided a little adventure rally guide, to help you in the decision making process! The Rickshaw Challenge What is it? A crazy rickshaw race across India. Yes, you read correctly! You and your team mates will drive your own rickshaw through the crazy Indian traffic, crossing mega cities and small villages, passing temples, rice fields and coconut palms - with an occasional trip to the beach. We give you a rickshaw, an itinerary and - depending on the package you choose - we also take care of your accommodation. Experience true adventure during the day and relax in the evening with the other teams, sharing crazy stories from the road. And to make exploring even easier for you, we have a luggage truck, which will bring your big suitcases to the next hotel each day , so you don't have to worry about anything while being on the road, except about finding the right one. What makes it special? This is a way to experience India in its most authentic form far from any group tour. In fact, you'll probably go for days without seeing any other travellers. And how many people can claim that they've been driving a rickshaw for thousands of kilometers - and survived? Who should go? Everybody. No matter if your are old or young, Australian or Italian, if you have rally experience or not. This trip is designed for everybody.

Soon we'll start with the preparations for the Central Asia Rally 2020, one of the last real adventures to find out there. Our journey will takes us over 6500 km from Astrakhan, Russia to Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan through some of the remotest areas of Central Asia. Spots are filling up fast, but we still have a few left. So if you still need the last push to get your team together and to apply... consider this blog post to be it! Drive on Roads You Would Never Find Yourself During the Central Asia Rally, we'll not only visit some of the famous cities of the ancient Silk Road, we will also venture deep into the little populated but very scenic Pamir Mountains.It's a region where the few roads that exist frequently disappear after heavy rainfalls and where getting lost can get you delayed for a full day. It's a region where it seems to be tempting to stay on the safe side and take the "big highway" (but still don't mix it up with what you know as highway from other countries), but where would be the excitement in that? We've spent weeks scouting out the most interesting and scenic little roads. And even though they might be lacking in petrol stations and basic security, they are full of adventure und unexpected events after every turn, with a little pinch of unexpected army check points and rock slides - just right for a car rally across Central Asia. Share Your Adventure Adventure is great, but shared adventure is even better. And sure, you'll have your team mates, with whom you'll share every step of the journey. But having a bunch of other teams waiting for you in your hotel each night to share a meal, stories and a few
