Get ready for a joyride with HistoryTV18’s #RoadTrippinWithRnM

After 7 successful road trips across the country, gourmet extraordinaire and lifelong buddies Rocky Singh and Mayur Sharma are packing their bags to head for hills in the 8^th season of HistoryTV18’s digital-first series #RoadTrippinWithRnM. Starting from the national capital New Delhi, the two friends will drive across the heartland of Uttar Pradesh and up the hills to explore the picturesque Uttarakhand, its ancient culture, and a legacy steeped in spirituality while also tantalising their taste buds with the best meals they can find.  Viewers can follow their journey from 25^th May to 5th June across social media on HistoryTV18’s and Rocky and Mayur’s accounts.

Officially formed in 2000 as India’s 27^th state, Uttarakhand has a history that stretches far beyond. Ancient cave paintings and artefacts show that this land has been inhabited since prehistoric times. Crowned by the Himalayas up north, Uttarakhand is a mountainous state covered with forests, blessed with rich fauna and flora. It has tourism and religious hotspots like Corbett, Kedarnath and Badrinath attracting visitors from all over the country. Through this road trip, the audience will get a taste of the little-knowns with a dash of must-have experiences in Uttarakhand. While in Nainital, they will make a stop at the iconic ‘Sakley's Restaurant & Pastry Shop’ and in Haridwar they will find out why ‘Mathura Walon ki Pracheen Dukaan’ is so legendary. In Corbett they will explore the national park for a glimpse of its famous inhabitants. In Binsar they will reveal one of the state’s best-kept secrets - the Mary Budden Estate – a century-old luxury retreat. Their itinerary also includes exploring Bhimtal, Mussourie, Ranikhet and Dehradun before the inevitable return to the plains.

Starting off as a series capturing the joys of a road trip and incredible beauty of the country, #RoadTrippinWithRnM has become a new benchmark of sorts for travel and food based digital content. Over 800 million impressions, 220+ million video views and nearly 8 million engagements are a testament to its success. The one-of-its-kind camaraderie between these childhood friends coupled with HistoryTV18’s programming expertise that helps provide a near-to-live experience by processing and posting content on social media in near real time. The series makes for a compelling watch and has kept the audience engaged successfully season after season.

Speaking on the new season Rocky says, “A road trip means the open road, wind in your hair as you stand under a blue sky, being one with the journey and the experience. Laughter, new sights at every turn, a new roof over your head every night, new tastes and flavours. The world unfolds as the journey begins…music and a friend and not a care in the world … just the road trip! You coming along? Season 8 begins, 25 May onwards …. The mountains beckon!”

Mayur adds, "What could be better than a road trip through the magnificent hills of Uttarakhand. Leaving the scorching hot Delhi plains for the winding roads, cool misty mornings, bonfire-lit evenings and delicious hill cuisines is our plan. Come share our journey of food, fun and friendship on Season 8 of  #RoadtrippinWithRnM & HistoryTV18. This one will be really, really cool. Really ;)”
