Trans-border vintage car rally reaches Dharamsala

By Hemant Chauhan, Dharamsala: A trans-border vintage car rally, which started from Pakistan’s capital Islamabad, has reached Dharamsala en route its final destination, Kolkata.

Eighteen vintage cars that took off from Islamabad on a 4566 kms Himalayan rally through some of the world’s most spectacular landscapes entered the picturesque town on Wednesday.

The Rally was flagged off from the Serena Hotel in Islamabad by the Pakistan’s Tourism Minister GG Jamal on March 15 and will be visiting Kathmandu in Nepal before proceeding to Kolkata on the last leg of the journey.
