Wow. Would love to participate in these in the near future when my infant son is old enough for long road trips.

I haven't checked the website yet but I am guessing that having a Mahindra vehicle would be mandatory to participate.

For the expeditions and Off-Road Training Academy, M&M will provide the vehicle. It's only for Great Escapes, you must have a Mahindra vehicle.

Are there any options to pay by 3-4 EMIs, since all costs are in range of 1.5-2 L ??

Could not find much details in the site.

Thanks

There are emi options valid on some cards. The option should be seen once you're at the payments page.
