Eight Indian residents have successfully travelled from Mumbai, India to the northern Siberian city of Magadan in Indian-made cars, completing the expedition in 86 days, according to Nidhi Salgame, the expedition's leader.

"The Kolyma Highway is the final leg of our journey. It became possible to conquer it thanks to our very good friends, kind-hearted people who helped us along the way. We've proven that Indian cars can overcome many challenges. Our route covered a distance of 22,500 kilometres," Nidhi Salgame Leader of the Expedition said.
