About this Drive

WBB partners with Nagaland Offroad (Unit of Nagaland Tourism) to curate the first of its kind extreme offroad experience in the interiors of Nagaland.

If tropical jungle, slush & mud, remote mud tracks, driving on ridges and rallies – excite you, then join us on this exciting, tough, yet hugely insightful drive on tracks and trails in the hinterland of Naga Land.

Besides the sheer geography and road, this land is also home to many forgotten tribes like Konyaks, Chakesang, Pochury; quaint folk culture, exotic cuisine and more. Nagaland offroad is an Offroader’s delight, a cultural spectacle & a true-blue opportunity to return to the basics, all this- while enduring the challenging drive daily.

Drive for over 1250kms on forgotten mud tracks that shall test both man and machine; most of these may only be traversed on by 4×4 vehicles. The trail is punctuated with non-descript hamlets, plenty of streams, some nasty inclines. Warm and hospitable people provide relief from the otherwise tough surroundings. Their life isn’t easy, but the sheer contentment & cheer is sure to make you rethink and calibrate your own lens for life.

Get ready for many testing your own limits on the challenging trails of Nagaland that spruce up this drive for the discerning traveler!
