DNCR TrailRaiders Logo

The DNCR TrailRaiders’ logo Unveiled...

Ever Since its inception in November, 2017, DNCR TraiRaiders have been using the logo of its parent club “Indian Jeepers” as there were certain delays observed in its own Logo design.

The logo design was shared with some jeepers of DNCR for their recommendations; who in turn came up with some exceptional ideas for it, derived out of sheer enthusiasm. The ideas were so awesome and irresistible, that framing those endless brilliant ideas in a small 100mm circle became more & more difficult and finalizing the logo took much more time than expected.

Continuous follow ups & design meetings with experts and sharing ideas ultimately gave us a rough sketch of what we were looking for. Final crafting, processing and designing of the logo was handled carefully by our Co admins.

The DNCR TrailRaiders’ logo prominently displays the Indian Jeepers sign right in its heart showing its everlasting bonding with it.

The mountains in the middle take cue from the mighty mountainous terrains we have around.

Analog Compass behind the mountains across the horizon are a clear indicator of our intents, our limits and our jeeps. It shows that wherever a Compass works on this planet, we intend to have a trail there.

The tyre treads all across the border depict the all-round, all weather, all terrain capabilities of our jeeps.

The super logo launch event of DNCR TrailRaiders on 12th May, 2019 at the Off Road Adventure Zone (ORAZ) will be witnessed by the highest numbers of jeeps (more than 50 jeeps, 55 jeepers and their families,) making it the biggest single group event throughout the country. It will be second in number after the Karnal trails jointly organised by DNCR TrailRaiders, CHD and FCA, whereby around 64 jeeps participated. Our beloved jeepers have contributed in every possible manner in the endeavour to make this event a success and laying the foundation stone for some of the biggest trails in the coming future.

We are highly thankful to jeepag.com and the associate groups to make the things happen by sharing their ideas and experiences.

We are also thankful to #jeepindia #jeeptrails #jeeplife for giving us a common reason to grow together as a community.

North Jeep Group – Independence Day Trail – Aug 15th, 2018

A Drive against use of PLASTIC

22nd of July, 2018, around 11AM, we (Ayush, Kannav, Kunal, Mohit & Rizul.. aka jeepag.com co-founders) had a quick chit chat on a conference call to meet midway from Tricity & NCR over breakfast and plan for the upcoming trails and drives.. Eventually we also checked the pulse of fellow jeepers and they were more than keen to join us over for this short drive. 
 
After just a small ignition, it didn’t took much time for the engine to warm up and vroom, just like our jeeps….
 
The soft clay started taking the desired shape and the plan was formulated to utilize the Independence Day to have a small meet and greet breakfast drive by a few interested jeepers from DNCR and Tricity… And agreed to meet all the jeepers from Tricity & NCR at Karnal. 
 
While we were going through registration process of collecting details, we checked with jeepers to come out with a theme for the Independence Day drive where Saurabh Sharma came up with a wonderful idea of “Say No To Plastic”… We were already in parallel discussions with FCA to help us support the event and it was this point where #jeepindia to step in, which was very well accepted by them, although the time was very short.
 
 A number of jeeps and the list of participants was freezed upon and details were shared with FCA officials for necessary arrangements and got unconditional support from #JeepIndia, #Landmark Delhi #WSL Mohali #RahulJeep Karnal #eventsolutions to plan the drive in their respective regions and help the fellow jeeprs. 
 
The closed group meet of 5 jeepers slowly started to turn out as a trail and the numbers gradually started increasing from 5 to 12 to 20 to 35 and finally 61 jeepers along with families registered for the drive.. Which surely was no more just a breakfast drive 🙂 🙂
Sadly due to time and logistics constraints, we were to close registration and say no to many fellow jeepers 🙁 🙁
It was a well planned event by Jeep India. DNCR jeepers received a warm welcome at Landmark Jeep, Moti Nagar with Mr. Harmeet Gill (from FCA) briefing about the dos and donts which was followed by breakfast. Same welcome was received by Tricity jeepers as WSL Mohali dealership which was well taken care of by Mr. Nikhil Jaspal (the official Trail organiser for Jeep). 
 
#eventSolutions planned the event so well that the jeepers from NCR & Tricity reached Noor Mahal, Karnal with a warm personalised welcome at the same time and the visuals were well captured by their photography team using drone cameras… 
 
The jeepers were not at all ready to rest a little after the long drive and straightaway meetings and introductions started between inter state jeepers of the North. The introduction session was concluded with introduction of JEEPag, introduction of Indian Jeepers and  a welcome speech cum drill by Mr Nikhil. The JEEPag team and Event solutions teams were further introduced to fellow jeepers.  This was followed by fingerlicious snacks & lunch along with chit-chat with each others. 
 
FCA, #jeepindia was more than generous to support the event by arranging delicious food and T-shirt for all the participants. 
 
Carrying the theme of “Say no to plastic” a little further, the jeepers cleaned the near by areas as a gesture of caring for a cleaner India  #swatchBharat. Despite it being a hot day, the yung jeep kids were simply more than cheerful and happy to be a part of the clean drive. Most of us were clearly inspired by the young  guns to start up. 
 
All the social activities were followed with an off roading trail with a specifically selected a d curated area. 
 
Lastly a message to society was delivered by forming “NO PLASTIC” through preplanned placement of 51 jeeps showing that “Responsible Jeepers care for our environment”  and again the moments were captured by drone camera. 
 
After a well spent day by jeepers at Karnal it was time to bid adieu untill we meet again… 
 
Stay tuned @www.jeepag.com for more details..

North Group’s Rishikesh Trip – May 26, 2018

Like one said Why go on an adventure alone when you could have exponentially more fun surrounded by other like heads enthusiasts? The answer was quite simple and is that to gather all North Jeepers again and have blast. Being the early birds and allure the charm we had to raise the bar this time. So decided to do JEEP’s Way, Adrenaline way.

It was time to decide the location and what else could be better option than to  go  all away to Shivalik Range in Uttarakhand and do River Rafting. With Help of WSL Mohali we were able to gets our hands on one of Itinerary  of best property in business. It was Camp Ganges Riverra situated 40 KM Above Rishikesh and 25 Km from Shivpuri.  Finally Jeepers from Tricity (Chandigarh) and Delhi (NCR) ready to had the time of their life. From Bachelors  to Newly Married, From Families to People Enjoying solo time from their spouse gathered . After Having Great 250+ K m Drive in JC’s people were ready to Start Day 1 with breakfast followed by Meet n Greet Session with Fellow Jeepers At Waterfall near the Camp Itself. After Lunch Session Jeepers were introduced with Beach Volleyball so that they could burn calories for Bon fire party in evening. Everyone Enjoyed playing Volleyball, Badminton on White sand after ages and realised how important is to outdoor activities.( Life’s a journey best traveled in Jeep outdoor-JEEP Thing).  Day end with more opening up and enjoying music in the woods.Cherry on the cake , we were allowed to put  our beds outside our camps and sleep under the open sky. It was Nostalgic for most of us and relatable. We experienced one of the most amazing morning to wake up on. Bags were packed and ready for last but not least thing of our journey – River Rafting.

River Rafting said to have its origin from same country from where our Compass got its. Rafting was done about 16 km (Kodiyala to Marine Drive) and another amazing meet came to an end with another drive going back to our cribs. 

Whoever said life is a highway, Never owned a Jeep.
