India, Heard About The ‘VWe’ Program?

Volkswagen India has announced a new initiative that will surely boost the excitement levels of people who love to drive and explore. Dubbed Volkswagen Experiences, or ‘VWe’ (pronounced ‘we’), it’s a program that allows the opportunity to explore India and engage with the brand, its services and, of course, the cars. In short, it is an expedition with multiple other vehicles foraying like-minded people.

The company has opened registrations for the first two multi-day journeys, one from Chandigarh to Leh and the other beginning in Leh and ending in Chandigarh. For each trip, there are 60 seats available. The per-person cost is INR 75,000 plus applicable taxes. The package includes airport transfers, twin-sharing accommodation, meals and refreshments, radio equipment for communication, support teams and local cultural experiences. Anything else, such as flight tickets and personal insurance, is not part of the package.

The Chandigarh-Leh leg starts on June 9 and ends on June 14. On the way, there are scheduled overnight halts at Manali, Jispa and Leh. The same holds for the return journey, which begins on June 18 and ends on June 23, 2024. On both trips, participants will have the opportunity to drive the Tiguan, Virtus and the Taigun.
