God’s Own Jeepers, Kerala Jeep®️ India official club kerala
When we collectively agreed upon celebrating an annual meet for jeepers, we were all excited and tons of preparations happened.
4th Dec 2021, the first Saturday of the last month for the year marks a special day for the Bangalore Jeep Club. The meet was at Discovery Village Resort, Nandi Hills Road, Bangalore
A prelude to the event started 10 days before the D-Day. Excitement kept building everyday amongst the participants. Jeep themed social media contests kept jeepers busy rifling through their galleries for contest appropriate pictures and videos.
And the most awaited day arrived. 48 Jeeps, 81 jeepers, 27 kids… this was a treat to watch jeeps rolling into the resort’s exclusive parking lot. The organizing team was already on ground to welcome fellow Jeepers. Banners and posters were erected. The Resort Manager took the organizing team around the property to brief about the place and venue so we could assist our members and their family / friends at every step.
Jeepers greeting one another, exchanging pleasantries was a sight to behold. The community is connected to each other on online platforms, but when we finally met each other in person is an excitement that knew no bounds.
Amidst the lush greenery, tucked away in the woods was the Glass Room overlooking the beautiful adventure camp site, was our food point for the day. Breakfast table was buzzing with chitter chatter, selfies, distribution of BJC clips all while also relishing the wholesome breakfast spread.
We later gathered at Ground 1 where the day’s activities were planned. A welcome note followed by a formal self-introduction from every Jeeper, helped us have a face to our fellow members and families. Our volunteers took over and started with games for children. Games themed on the recent famous squid game and blending it to #Jeeplife like word scrambler for little ones; green light – red light (changed to headlight – taillight); the Jeep Star honeycomb for adults; a tug of war with Jeep and finally the seven-slot marble golf concluded with a few fillers before the resort team took over to conduct their games. The winners were awarded with BJC merchandise and vouchers for Jeep merchandise.
Meanwhile, a few jeepers went to explore the resort with some adventures on ropeway, swimming, tennis, board games etc…
The resort team started with some indoor energizing and team building fun games for all, after a quick 5 minutes juice break.
Before heading to lunch, BJC rolled out the “Duck Duck Jeep’ custom, which is a new custom started globally by Jeepers. The ducks are often left with a note, telling the owner they’ve been ducked and they have to pass the duck along with a message -to join the Bangalore Jeep Club or follow us on Instagram for more Jeep adventures.
The ducks were distributed amongst our BJC members to start this custom in our region.
Members were treated to a lavish cake spread, two of our Jeeper couples celebrated their wedding anniversaries with cakes they got for us and BJC’s Annual Day cake along with distributing beautiful and sporty jeep caps for our kiddo jeepers…….. what a better way to head for lunch. A lavish lunch spread was awaiting us. Lunch was served in 2 different, open restaurants overlooking the lush greenery around.
While some jeepers went for a short drive around the resort, some were seen exploring the property, adventure games, a few others were seen taking a quick nap after a sumptuous meal, and some were networking, while some Jeepers chugged down the winding, hilly roads leading to the Resort for a content shoot with a convoy of colorful Jeeps.
We all gathered back at Ground 1 for the star event of the day…
Ben Carson said “Happiness doesn’t result from what we get, but from what we give”
Rakshana Charitable Trust is an NGO working for child development for the underprivileged. Children from the Trust joined in our celebrations and treated us to some melodious prayers and songs. It was a treat to watch these kids display their talents. The Jeep community contributed generously to support the Trust in taking care of these enterprising children. A cheque of Rs. 60,001/- was handed over to them. Some Jeepers distributed gifts, sweets, and stationary too. Their Manager was ever grateful to the support rendered. It was a touching moment for all of us.
A smallest act of kindness can make the biggest impact.
All good things come to an end, and we too got ready to wind up for the day with tea and snacks for the kids from the Trust and us.
As the day came to an end, we were already planning the next Jeep trail.
No Jeep Trail is complete without expressing our love and gratitude for the support received from Jeep India.

JeepHers from Bangalore Jeep Club went on a Women's Day Drive to Sakleshpur
8 JeepHers and 22 participants set out on the Unstoppable Women’s Trail to Sakleshpur. From the time we reached the Flag Off venue, we were made to feel very special with a pleasant welcome by our fellow jeepers and the organisers. All the minute details of the trail were well planned by our organisers and the team went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and pampered.
The trail was a great holiday with a visit to Shettihalli, lots of adventure and sumptuous goodies, fun filled evenings with live music and dance, and the icing on the cake was the tough off roading experience we had and not to forget the endless selfies we took and letting us live the jeeplife to it fullest.
No trail is complete without giving back to the society. On occasion of International Women’s Day, we sent a soulful evening over tea and snacks with the women workforce at the Coffee plantation. The JeepHers contributed generously and we gifted them loads of goodies. The women were impatient and some draped themselves with sarees they received in the gift hampers. It’s a sight-to-behold seeing their glee on their faces, just filled our hearts entirely.
In contrast to what we had expected for an off roading experience, the organizing team had planned a real tough track and the route to the coffee estate which was an ultimate experience for all of us, and reassuring us of what a Compass is capable of doing. The team was very patient with us when we got stuck and coaxed and encouraged us by saying “You can do it, you can do it”. They gave us tips and pointers to beat the odds. At the end we felt “We are the Unstoppable Women” who can do all that the men can do with their Jeeps, and made us realise our potential and strengths.
Our stay at the Machaan Plantation Resort, Sakleshpur was an out of the world experience with wonderful ambience, great food and excellent service by the staff and the owners.
All good things do come to an end, but the memories of this trail will linger in our hearts and mind for a very long time and make us wish we had many more Women’s Day in a year.
“Yeh Dil Maange More” for many such trails in the future.

A small pack of jeepers began the journey to Gandikotta from Chennai on 25th jan 2020 as part of Republic Day drive. The pack was small but there were 7 Jeeps making the small pack powerful throughout the drive.
Visiting the Gandikotta fort, viewing the magnificent sunset and beautiful sunrise over the so called Grand Canyon in India. It was fun and adventurous.
Ending with a trip to Belum caves a naturally formed cave dating million of years ago. The pack started its rally back to chennai to end the memorable drive.
A Pictorial Travelogue of Bird-watching at Mandhoti Wetlands
It’s almost 10 o’clock now, yet I am not feeling too tired to retire for the day! Strange!
The day actually went off so well, full of actions – starting with setting off very early in the morning, when people were still in deep sleep at homes under the comfort of warm blankets.
This 3rd Sunday of December — the first harsh winter of the season broke loose over DNCR, shattering the records of last 15 years or so!
13 Jeepers of DNCR Trailraiders (defying the rule of not exposing into biting cold of early foggy morning), finally responded joining the “First ever Bird-watching Drive” to the wetlands of Mandhoti village, approx 55 km from Gurgaon.
One after another, the Jeepers (with family & their brave children) coming from Delhi, Noida & Gurgaon started arriving at the pre-planned assembly point near the Hero Chowk in Gurgaon on NH-48 from 5.45 a.m.
That means, Jeepers from Noida & Delhi must have set out from their homes around 5 in the morning!
By the time everybody assembled for a small chit-chat, the time was close to 7 – losing almost an hour from our starting time planned!
Our dear Jeeper friend Kannav, drove down all the way from his home in Gurgaon at the assembly point, just to meet us and wishing us good luck. He had to drop out at the last moment due to some muscle injury in his arm.
“Bird-watching Drive” to Mandhoti Village wetlands in Rohtak, finally flagged off in a _’Jeep convoy’_ at 15 min past 7 in the morning.
As we gradually headed away from City limit towards the countryside with no sign of Sunrise, dense fog was quickly engulfing all over.
Driving thru narrow single roads thru vast farmlands without any street lights in that thick fog, grew more & more difficult & tensing with almost Zero visibility. It was only the pair of red Tail Lights of the Jeep in front that was helping a lot to follow blindly!
Just think of our Marshall, Shiv S Tripathi, leading the convoy in that challenging drive, with no tail light to follow for him! BRAVO Shiv 👍🏼
Leaving behind the dist limits of Gurgaon, we took on the Jhajjar highway. The thick fog also seemed to be slowly diluting to a much better visibility, with the Sun slowly coming out, but with great difficulty.
