Thanks for signing up for this drive.

Lisaili offers some nice baby technical dunes where your skills will be tested , and you can always improve on what you have learnt. Be prepared for some tight turns, sharp drops (which can technically break - small or big), supersoft sand and pockets where you will improve as a sand driver. We will off course do the regular play areas in open dunes once we clear this part, have fun and exit.

Please note

1. Follow COVID precautions strictly -  No compromise on this ! IF you are seen with out masks, socializing, not maintaining distance you will be escorted out of the drive.

2. Mandatory off road gear - Off-road flag, shovel, deflator, compressor and a programmed radio. If any one is missing then you will not be allowed to drive!

3. Please arrive on time, so that we can spend maximum time available driving. Deflate your tires

     - 15 psi for regular tires

     - 12 psi for off road all terrain tires

Please be acquainted how to disable ABS, Airbags and Traction control in your cars, and do it before the drive. You can switch them back on once the drive is completed.

Convoy listing will be announced soon

See you all, cheers!
