A car in the yard
Mahindra Camper
A cab, and a bed in the back. For people who like the idea of sleeping where the day ended, and who do not need the vehicle to be a drawing room.
Two, sometimes three, who want the camper as the trip — not just the transport.

How it behaves up here
Five is the right tool. One means we will talk you out of it. This is our yard, not the brochure.
Spiti
4/5
It gets there. You feel every mile.
Dirt
4/5
4WD and a simple chassis.
Snow
3/5
It will crawl. It is not a play truck.
Highway
3/5
Slow, and honest about it.
Comfort
2/5
The cab is a tool. The bed is the luxury.
Luggage
4/5
The bed takes what a boot will not.
Narrow road
3/5
Longer than a Thar. Manageable.
