Hello Namaskara and Welcome back to the channel Today we have come on Luxcamper van. This is a camper van tour This is the first time we have taken the caravan on rent. Its pretty spacious and luxurious van. Luxcamper van is a company through which we have booked this van. This is called a trucker campervan. Isuzu car is converted into a caravan Its the one at my back which is parked. The caravan is attached to the behind of the car There is a king size bed There is a kitchenet. One gas stove. So, we can cook our food

Thats one facility There is one fridge There is one washroom. Toiletries are kept here. This is a solar powered caravan. so, it gets charged in sun. Alternates are through diesel or electric battery. This camper van will cost you around 4k per day from 6am to 8pm. There are different rates for over-night stay which are listed on their website They have pick up and drop facility from home itself Just give the location co-ordinates while booking. They will come home and pick you up and drop you back home While coming they would come with full tank diesel. While returning, we will have to pay for the full tank fuel This caravan includes the driver and whatever accessories are there inside the caravan.

Diesel charges , anything to eat, groceries are to be taken care by us. This is Isuzu vehicle. 3 ppl can easily sit in the 2nd row and 1 person along side the driver So, totally 4 passengers can travel while seated and 3 ppl can sleep in the caravan while the vehicle is standing The vehicle is very comfortable. No jerks are felt. since its 4x4 vehicle, off-roading can also be done. But since the caravan is attached, need to drive a bit carefully. Our driver was very cautious. Self-drive caravan is not yet introduced in India. So, whenever we rent a caravan it comes with a driver

If self-drive is introduced, it would be even better i think. Today, we are headed towards Sri Siddeshwara swamy betta. Its near Arakavathi back waters near Harobele dam Now, the destination is so important. We just wanted to try our the caravan experience. That is why this trip.

Our destination is very scenic but only during monsoon and just after monsoon. This is beginning of summer. So, it might not be very beautiful. But nevertheless, this is for the experience of camper van. After driving for 1 hr, we stopped at Kanakapura road near Somanahalli for breakfast.

Our driver got the kitchenet ready. This is a gas stove. Can adjust the high and low flames. Our breakfast was just bread and butter along with few vegetables This is our first experience. So, we just got what was eat to make. Next time, we can try some special item. We have actually stopped at a restaurant premises. Driver went there to have breakfast.

We are having our breakfast inside the caravan. Its comfortable. No issues inside. Can sit and have the breakfast peacefully. After our breakfast, we resumed our journey towards Arkavathi backwaters. Road conditions are good. Only the patch between Kaggalipura and Harohalli is not so good. Apart from that, rest of the route was very good.

Ours is a truck campervan. Apart from this, luxury campervan is there. Thats a big vehicle. You can sit inside the caravan itself and travel. If you are travelling with a big family , elderly passengers that is recommended.

But it costs slightly more. Around 12k I think . But you will get a full campervan experience sitting inside it. It wont be like driving in a car After travelling around 20 kms on Kanakapura - Sangama road , take a left turn towards Siddeshwara swamy betta for Harobele dam This traverse through villages and road conditions are fine at least in the beginning The road is very narrow here. We need to drive carfully. If any vehicle comes in the opposite direction, it becomes very difficult to negotiate.

There is a pump house called Tavaraghatta . Looked like this is the last point But when we asked, the local ppl said we can go further. It looks like a complete off-roading drive The road is in very bad condition. Its very very difficult to drive here.

But its easier on this Isuzu vehicle. Its very difficult to go for any other smaller car. Bike can come easily We thought we can go near the water, sit beside the water and have lunch. But river bank is a bit far Today we started at 7am from Bangalore.

Took 2.5hrs to reach here. Almost 3 hrs. We are at the Arkavathi backwaters. This is not a right season to visit this place. Water bank is far from here. We wanted to try the camper van. So, came here. Its complete off-roading. The road conditions are not good. One feedback about the caravan is that they dont provide utensils. We need to get tava and other utensils along with us. They dont provide it. They just provide caravan with bed and other accessories and a gas stove. Glasses were there. Water is there for washing.

We will spend some time here and cook something for lunch. We have brought Maggi for today since it can be cooked fast. We spent sometime at the grassland and then thought of exploring the nearby dam. Its Harobele dam near Arkavathi backwaters. Its around 5-6 kms from here We will see the dam and may be have lunch also there itself This is the Harobele dam entrance. Cameras are not allowed here but smart phones are allowed.

Dont understand that logic though. Photography is allowed on a phone, why not on cameras?? But nonetheless, rule are rules. So, we just followed it. The hills seen from far is where we were earlier. Saw the backwaters and we are at the dam now The level of water is pretty good but not at full capacity After visiting the dam, we started to prepare our lunch. Simple maggi Like I said earlier, this is our first caravan trip. So, for trail, we brought maggi

So, thats it . Lunch is ready. Will have it now. Hello friends, Welcome back from Arakavathi dam/reservoir. Today, first we went to Arakavathi backwater near Siddeshwara betta. But there we didnt any good spot and road condition was also not good. It was full off-roading. We were not even able to go near the water. We enquired the local ppl there. They suggested to go to the dam So, we can near the dam. After seeing the dam, we took some rest inside the camper van.

Its very comfortable. Today its very sunny and hot. But this is like a studio house Water supply , queen size bed is there, 3 ppl can easily sleep. We just made maggi and ate for lunch. We actually didnt know what can be made or cook. So we got maggi since its easier to make. Ate maggi , will start from here in half an hour It might take 2.5hrs to reach home. May be around 75kms from here

75-80kms. So, even if we leave here by 3pm, we should reach home by 5.30 to 6pm. Overall, it was good. Luxcamper is good. There is another bigger version of this van where you can sit inside itself while travelling. This truck campervan doesnt have that facility. We will have sit inside the car Its because it can cause imbalance since the caravan is attached to the car In the other bigger one, we can travel from inside the caravan itself. It would be even more comfortable. So, for longer trips like 2-3 days, we can prefer the bigger one.

They have their own packages, Sakaleshpur, Hampi, Bheemeshwari etc and over-night packages. You can chk in their website. Thats all for now. We will start in 30 mins. Thanks a lot for joining in. Hope you enjoyed the video. See you in the next. Till then bye.
