Welcome to Chennai Event Management Services!

Everybody has a bucket list. Even if it's not written down anywhere, even if you've never spoken a word about it, even if you never considered it, there are experiences that every living person strives to find. Perhaps, driving an auto rickshaw over the picturesque hills, up the breathtaking beaches, and through the amazing cities of India is one of those experiences...

Welcome to Chennai Event Management Services.
Welcome to the Budapest-Chernobyl Run! This unique event sets out to explore the enigma and exoticness of Eastern Europe. Though Europe has made its way onto the global scene as a world power, Eastern Europe has retained its own character and culture, which still lays relatively untouched by the Western world. The Budapest-Chernobyl Run is for the adventuresome, for those who desire an authentic getaway, and for those who understand that the easy route yields no great reward.

Budapest-Chernobyl Run 

Bring in the new year in a new way!

We've done a lot of thinking about how to bring in the end of the decade that started with the crazy Y2K shenanigans and we have a couple ideas that just might tickle your fancy. These new year's parties won't be in any major city and will be anything but typical. Isn't it time you broke away from the new year's party mold and started off the year with something different?

Try these on for size.

Budapest-Chernobyl Run is launching its inaugural route on December 29th from Budapest, Hungary. This drive-anything expedition will traverse the Hungarian countryside into the castle-laden land of Romania, then continue through the beautiful valleys of Moldova, across the disputed region of Transnistria, and into the notorious land of Ukraine, where you will get the chance to see, firsthand, the abandoned town of Priyat and the specific location of the Chernobyl disaster. Oh yeah, and if you register for this awesome adventure by November 16th, you can save some bucks for some fantastic party accessories (including your favorite beverage)! Check out the Budapest-Chernobyl website for the route map, detailed information, and the registration form.

Here in India, we're taking an old route to the new year! The Classic Run, which started the whole Rickshaw Challenge back in 2006 as the Indian Autorickshaw Challenge, will be taking several teams from around the world from Chennai, through the state of Tamil Nadu, to Kanniyakumari, with a fantastic new year party in the former French colony of Pondicherry. Romania may be castle-laden, but Tamil Nadu is temple-laden, and these are some scenes you won't find anywhere else on Earth. Plus, you'll be in the driver's seat of Asia's most beloved little vehicle, the autorickshaw! This is the classic style of autorickshaw adventures and will always be the first, the original, and the papa bear of autorickshaw tourism in India.

Regardless of where you choose to bring in the new year- in exotic Eastern Europe or tropical Tamil Nadu- we guarantee an adventure that you won't soon forget and stories that will never grow old. Brush off the dust of the past decade and start anew. 2010 is going to be incredible.

Wikishaw Challenge 

Wikipedia knows.

The Indian Autorickshaw Challenge (also known as Rickshaw Challenge) is an international autorickshaw rally self-styled as ?an amazing race for the clinically insane'.http://www.emediawire.com/releases/2006/12/emw492527.htm eMediaWire The entrants use the ubiquitous Autorickshaw or Tuk-Tuk, workhorse of the urban east, to cross large portions of the Indian sub-continent in a matter of days. The simplicity of the Autorickshaw and the diversity of the landscape requires ingenuity and intrepid spirits from its participants. The Rickshaw Challenge currently has four distinct events. The most popular of them are the Classic Run and the Mumbai Xpress. Each of these two rallies is designed as an escapade to test the entrant's levels of endurance and perseverance, as well as for humanitarian projects, but are essentially not geared towards racing or competition, maintaining the spirit of the amateur adventurer.
