A modified luxury bus “offering exceptional comfort and facilities” is being readied for the journey.
Bus to London is the brainchild of Sanjay Madan and Tushar Agarwal, founders of Adventures Overland, which organizes cross country road trips.
The trip will be divided into several legs and passengers can choose different destinations according to their preference.
Reports said a ticket for the entire journey from Delhi to London will cost INR 15 lakh (USD 20,250) per person.
