Delhi to London in 70 days: World's longest bus expedition to begin May 2021

20 people will be part of the journey which covers 18 countries.
For all travel enthusiasts who were forced to remain indoors for most parts of 2020 due to Covid-19 pandemic, the next year promises to offer an opportunity that seeks to make up for the time lost. And then some more.
