Best Adventure-Ready SUV for Off-Road Camping and Cross-Country Trips

Which rugged SUV would you pick for serious off-roading and adventure trips?

I'm planning some major camping trips next year and need a capable SUV that can handle everything. Looking for something that won't struggle on rough terrain, can carry my mountain bikes on top, and has space for camping gear. Budget is flexible up to ₹15 lakh. I've narrowed it down to these four, but torn between the Thar's capability and Duster's practicality. What would you choose for serious adventure use?

Planning frequent trips to Himachal and Uttarakhand, so I need something reliable in slush and steep climbs, but not as hardcore as a Thar. Budget is flexible, but looking for the sweet spot between comfort and capability. Main use will be highway cruising with occasional rough patches. My Duster AWD served well earlier - wondering if these newer options are significantly better?

Looking to get serious about off-roading and want something that can handle the toughest trails. Been researching these four options but can't decide. The Thar and Gurkha seem purpose-built, Jimny's compact and capable, while the Wrangler is the legend. What would you go for if money wasn't the main concern and pure capability mattered most?

I recently test drove a friend's old Duster and was impressed by how solid it felt compared to newer cars. With the new Duster coming soon, I'm curious how it'll stack up against today's safety-focused SUVs. Looking for opinions on which SUV in this price range feels the most robust and secure - especially important given our road conditions and highway speeds.
